Benchmarking

1. Benchmark with present available cars in market for the following case.

Mr. D.S. Pughazhyendhii Monthly Kms including Madhurai return to office in bangalore = 1000 + (30*22) = 1660= 1700Kms (Approx). For the cost of vehicle I am assuming on road price to be considered. Also assuming Pughazhyendhii comes from middle class family so he will be using this car for 5-6 years. Having desent Kms running every month and will use the car for 5-6 years, a diesel car will be more economically be a suitable for him

These are the cars I think will come in bugdet and also serve the purpose. My recommendation is to go for Honda Amaze. It has a decent safety rating, good mileage, enough space for 5 people and luggage. The serice cost of Amaze is 28000 aproxmatly for 5 years which is quite economical as well.

if i looking for bigger car in that bugdet than the options are very limited. In that case the new tata Nexon is definitely option to consider. He can get a good petrol model in that price bracket. 1st top rating safety suv in tata nexon I recommonded for family safety
