Pushing the envelope is something Renault does best.
And here, without a shadow of doubt, is proof.
The design is outstanding, the packaging is brilliant, and then, as you stand there going wow, you are hit with the killer price.

FINAL REVIEW
I have selected a vehicle to do a benchmarking for a Pughazhyendhii's requirement. the four different cars are has their own unique specifications, for example triber coming with 7 seater (muv). i took this car because I believe Pughazhyendhii liked big cars with affordable prices.
What i'm pretending is for pugazhyendhi his family is a most important one than anything else. as for everyone so i'm litterally focusing on safety rather than speed. now a days mostly all the cars are coming with a air bags. it's is an essential one.
After complete a analyse among the four cars i picked up a TATA NEXON.
For the reason given below
REASONS
It has a 5 star rating in crash test.
It has a enough cabin space and boot space
Attractive look with sun roof
Brake assist. option
I just aware of tata which is an indian company. so i believe this was really familier with indian conditions. and in other hands it is increasing our economic.
It comes with Pughazhyendhii budget.
CONCLUSION
From the above 4 cars i'm suggesting a tata nexon car for high on safety and an aggressive look.
