Benchmarking
congrats mr.DS for your decision of buying the new car which will suits your budget.todays there are lot of anew models of car in market but to choose right car from the available resources is bit tedious and requires research for zeroing the decision.before coming to conclusion let us enlist some factors which will make decision making smooth.
pricing:Mr D.S budget is between 8 to 10 lacs so various cars like hyundai creta petrol version,ford ecosport,maruti suzuki vitara brezza,kia sonet,tata nexon etc.
mileage:mileage is very important aspect in car selection because through mileage only certain section of people choice depends .mileage paves the way for more economical cars in which maruti models wins the race but they lack in safety version.
unibody or body on frame:nowadays car bodies are generally unibody concept but some suv used for offroading generally also has body on frame structure.
maintenance cost=diesel cars have more maintenance cost than petrol cars .which is 1k or 2k more.
Driving expereince=diesel engines are more powerful than petrol engines with high torque and smoother driving expereince but diesel engines also have more nvh.
considering the above points mr DS is recommended for petrol car that take care for its low price and low maintenance cost.
now in step 2 now we have to select the type of car brand that would suit mr DS requirement as DS budget falls between 8 to 10 lacs and he is fond of big cars .I would suggest a compact SUV.
