BENCHMARKING :

CONCLUSION :
I will suggest Mr. D.S. Pughazhyendhii to buy TATA NEXON. The 5 stars rated SUV by the Global NCAP will be a good choice as per his budget and the car comes with multiple modes which give an extra-ordinary mileage upto 17.4 kmpl with petrol as per ARAI. For his office use, the Nexon will help him to have a stress-less driving after work. The NEXON stands apart in safety compared to its competitors like MAHINDRA XUV300, KIA Sonet, etc. Since Pughazhyendii is fond of big cars the SUV features a bigger outlook and the outstanding mileage will make him happier when he vists his native place madurai.
