Images

There are various models present in the market. The person is the family man i.e at the most 5 people should be occupied in the car also Since the person lives in area such as banglore which is crowded region the economy of the car must be in between 15 to 30 km/hr. Also he travels 500km distance to go to natives place it shou-ld have good cubic capacity of tank to carry petrol or diesel, larger bootspace for belongings. Also the person loves long car , therefore we must filter different types of sedan available in the price range i.e 8-10 lakhs. For the above features that the person requires we feature out the best and fittest car for him.

The above comparison is done for the features required for the person. Every Car choosed is 5 seater inorder to fullfill the requirements and sort the things.

Comparing the all 4 types the man will be looking for more efficient , sustainable, astetically goodlooking , having great suspension geometry.

BAsic types of suspension used in 4 whellers:

Leaf suspension system: Usually used in heavy duty vehicles.

coil spring suspension system: it absorbes the shock but it promotes the same shock on the vehicle therefore not used mainly .

Shock absorber suspension system: absorbes the shock and help to reduce the effect of shock on vehicles.

Double wishbone suspension system: for heavy duty vehicles , very less change in camber.

McPherson : Widely used in automobiles. Simple in construction and light in weight with resonably high strength. The camber must be maintained properly. Used in most of the automobiles with advanced system.

4. Provide a proper conclusion for the report, suggesting a single suitable vehicle among the comparison made with images.

If we compare all the features since TATA Altroz can easily be covertable to various modes of driving Eco, Sport, and City modes etc. Tata altroz is recommended having great interior with available bootspace,clean aerodynamic design and cost effecient.It also has inbuilt DTC which easily and accurately shows the error within the car for the respective malfunctioning. The price of car is 9.8 lakhs having 1199cc ,3cylinder engine. It consists of 1.2L Revotron engine which basically helps in changing verious modes of vehicles.

The car is basically having a horse power of 85 at 6000rpm.Even the torque generated by vehicle is with the acceptable range for which the vehicle is choosed.Considering the milege is upto 25Km/h,having 6 speed with Forward wheel drive.It accopanies the boot space of 345 L.

2. Prepare a report explaining what is Bench-Marking

There are 2 types of benchmarking involved. In beanchmarking 1 the competitors features , specification , weight, price and body of the automobile is compared .

while in benchmarking 2: we do component vice camparison and what all improvend can be done inorde rto lower the cost with increase in efficiency and performance. Bases on the historical data available and the needs of customer the ideas of different structure can be easily manipulated .
