Every line below says which it is. A quote is somebody's own words on the platform named. A summary is ours, drawn from published coverage — and never put inside quote marks.
“NO IT'S NOT WORTH THE PRICE AS IT DOSEN'T HAVE A APPROPRIATE ENGINE AS IN IT'S FOREIGN MODELS THAT ARE BEING SOLD ABROAD.”
“I think it's more of the brand image. I won't buy Kia at 75lakh”
