Comparing all the 3 options available, I would suggest Pughazhyendhii to go for the Mahindra TUV300 for the following reason:

• Since he is fond of big cars, this seems to be the perfect choice.
• Since they commute to Madurai which is 500kms away, it would be best for them to travel spaciously rather than be cramped in the back seat.
• Bigger boot space, also perfect for vacations.

Note: If there is a constraint on mileage, considering Bangalore being a very crowded city, the best option would be Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. Maintenance cost for all the three are more or less the same over the span of 6 years.

I would suggest Mr. Pughazhyendhii to buy either the TUV300 or the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.
