We Recommend

We recommend you to go with the base GLS trim. As this has only one powertrain on offer, going for the higher-end variant would not add a significant amount of power to the engine. Other than that, the GLS trim has a bag full of standard features which offer better value for money bargain in spite of having a cheaper price.
