Things To Keep In Mind
- Sunroof availability is often limited to top
trims, so your budget must accommodate that variant.
- Cost of ownership: roof maintenance, possible repairs, and added weight must be factored in.
- Heat and insulation: India’s climate demands good glass quality and proper sunshade, else the cabin can heat up.
- On-road pricing: ex-showroom is only part of it. Add registration, insurance, and state levies when comparing.
