A REPORT ON AUTOMOTIVE BENCHMARKING STUDY
Automotive Benchmarking-
Automotive Benchmarking is the process of comparison of similar product on various parameter. In this process we can compare the product in many factors like Dimensions, Features, Lighting, Engine performance etc. and deducing it to final conclusion.
Case-
Mr. D.S. Pughazhyendhii is a married man who lives in Bangalore which is a highly crowded city. His Family comprises five members including his wife, a five-year-old boy, his father, and his mother. He visits his native place Madurai which is 500kms away from Bangalore once a month. Also, he will be using his car to commute to his office. His budget falls between 8 to 10 lakhs on road. Please suggest to him options so that he will buy a good car for his family.
Highlighted Point-
Pughazhyendhii is fond of big cars
Five Seater Car
Budget 8 to 10 Lakhs on road
Daily Use For Office (City Driving)
Car Average Running 1500km/Month 20000km/annual.
Suggestion-
Depends on Mr. D.S. Pughazhyendhii requirements I suggest to him SUV type vehicle because of he required big car also his family having five member so it requires better space also he travel to native place so it require enough boot space.
Then Considering his daily use and its Monthly running he will need a Diesel car but his budget falling under 10 lakhs so I Suggest him to SUV in Petrol Variant .
For his city driving it well need Auto Variant but Auto Variant is costly than Manual transmission so I Suggest him to SUV in Manual transmission variant.
As Considering above conditions I am comparing a four SUV cars i.e. 1)TATA NEXON 2)MAHINDRA XUV300 3)HYNDAI VENUE 4)MARUTISUZKI BREZZA
