• By comparing the engine side of the XUV 300 have almost equal cc but power is higher than the Sonet.Boot capacity of Kia Sonet is reasonably sized boot good for occupants.The XUV has more weight which is due to the BIW parts,which give the stylish look the and attractive front end. The NCAPsafety rating for the SUV's five-star rating satisfies growing concerns about safety.While considering the mileage Sonet give the more saving cost but in service point of view and the maintenance Mahindra give the lasting of the parts and cheap in maintaining, it is upto 6-7k per year because of the it larger compression ratio.And in the price ratio both of affordable and almost equal
• And in case of Hyundai I20 is offering good fuel efficiency.Tata Altroz is a heavy weight in its own right. Easily Tata’s most accomplished hatchback yet, the Altroz also started its innings with a bang and a five-star global NCAP rating.The both have 5 seater car the rear seat area is comfortable for Altroz comparing to the I20.

So in my conclusion I will suggest Mahindra XUV 300 W4 diesel is the best vehicle for the 8-10Lakh budget.Which is having all the requirements that I needed It has sufficient mileage for city and highways.By looking the safety factor there also provides five star rating on it.Interior also good for this budget but need to improve some of the area.It having front and rear seating with sufficient space and also have laggage space.In the point of view of maintenance it is also cheap and relevant, because all the accessories and service cost are affordable and easily available.
