Best Car For You – Hatchback


Before the era of SUVs, Indians used to drive hatch all around the country. However, there are still some who tend to buy a car from this segment. But, do you need it? There are many hatchbacks available in the country at a very affordable price. But raised hatchbacks – eat out most of their sales.
Now, if you are someone who is new to driving or have a limited budget – you can seek to opt for a car from this segment. The hatches offer better mileage, and are compact – making your drive a lot fun and easier. Parking in tight spots, escaping the city errands – the hatch is the best.
But, remember if you have a big family, you can go to this car as a secondary option. Why? The hatchbacks won’t offer the type of comfort in the rear that other segment cars can offer.

Micro/Compact SUV –


So, if you have scrolled down here, I assume you are looking for a more spacious car! Well, why don’t you opt for a Compact or Micro SUV? It is a balance between spacious interiors and fuel cruxes. It can solve most of your problems. Having a little tight budget? You can go for a micro SUV (Punch, Exter, Kiger, etc.)– but, if you can stretch a little extra, go for a more spacious compact SUVs (Nexon, 3XO, Brezza, etc.).
Moreover, the SUVs being most opted in the country, automakers offer several premium features and tech in these segments. Another plus point of choosing a raised hatch or SUV instead of regular hatchbacks is that being a bit raised, it offers a better drive experience on bad roads.
While some micro SUVs still have space problems, you can go forward with the compact SUVs.

Best Car For You – 7-Seater MPV


Now, if you have a large family then obviously, the perfect choice for you will be the 7-seater! But, sometimes, a 7-seater car can be perfect for a family of 5 too. Why? Remove the remaining seats and claim a bigger boot.
Getting a 7-seater MPV is a no brainer at this price point. You get access to third-row seating – some even customize the vehicles as per their need and make a 7-seater MPV turn into a camper van. Cool, isn’t it? Hope we unlocked a new idea.
But wait? If you want a fun to drive machine – these affordable 7-seaters might cause you worry later. Why? At the given price point, the MPVs that are offered compromise performance. So, if a powerful sedan overtakes you on the highway, you would need to let him go – instead of giving a competition. No, we are not asking you to race – we know how you think. Drive Responsibly! But, yes powerful machines are something that we like to drive frequently.

Sedan –


Yes, now let’s talk about the sedan that overtook your MPV on that highway! Want something classy, something more roomy defying power and comfortability on its finger? You can grab the steering of a sedan.
Sedans particularly in this budget are something that are mostly ignored. The main attention among the Indian audience is towards SUVs. But, if you want a fun to drive machine, a classy and premium car to stand out from the crowd, then you can choose a sedan. Moreover, if you don’t want to drive a hatch and want a more spacious cabin space it can be a practical option to choose. Again beware of its ground clearance, driving it over the pot holes and bumpy roads – you must need to be cautious.
