Considering Mr. D.S. Pughazhyendhii’s monthly run by car would be 800 plus, Including his visit to Madurai from Bangalore.

CONCLUSION
According to Mr. D.S. Pughazhyendhii’s requirement, All factors of safety, comfort, and performance are considered in comparison to the above 4 cars under the 8-10 lakh price range.
Based on his monthly run, which includes travel in the city and to his hometown, I would like to suggest TATA NEXON.
REASON: - At this price, he is paying for safety with good quality drive with less worrying about servicing costs and maintenance costs and good milage.
As he is fond of big cars compact SUV would be great for the city purpose like Bangalore and for traveling to his hometown.
