Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better, Tata Nexon or Mahindra XUV300?
  • Both cars are good in their own forte. Nexon becomes the default choice if you want space for five and a comfortable ride. However, the Nexon might feel a little rough around the edges if it's polished and the latest tech you're after. On the other hand, Mahindra’s XUV300 will appeal to you for its high feel-good factor and exciting nature. Despite a few quality issues, it feels premium and is very well-equipped too. Its cramped boot can be a deal breaker for households with just one car. The rear seat isn’t class-leading in terms of space and comfort either, but it is comfortable enough for two adults. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which is better petrol or diesel?
  • Selecting the right fuel type depends on your utility and the average running of the car. If you drive less than 50km in a day then we recommend you to go with a petrol car as they are easy to maintain, have a longer life span and they cost less initially than the diesel car. On the other hand, diesel cars are preferred if the average daily run is more than 50km which makes it a feasible purchase. Diesel cars are more fuel-efficient and provide more torque, therefore, are preferred for a person who drives more than 50km. Whereas, petrol engine has a low service cost, more life span, generally have a well-controlled NVH level, and are cheaper in cost than diesel engines. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which is better between Mahindra XUV300 and Volkswagen Taigun?
  • Mahindra’s XUV300 will appeal to you for its high feel-good factor and exciting nature. Despite a few quality issues, it feels premium and is very well-equipped too. Its cramped boot can be a deal breaker for households with just one car. The rear seat isn’t class-leading in terms of space and comfort either, but it is comfortable enough for two adults. On the other hand, Volkswagen Taigun looks just like a baby VW SUV and a classy one at that. In terms of build, it does feel a tad better than its key rival, the Creta, but falls short in fit and finish levels compared to the Polo and Vento. However, the features and safety equipment on offer are definitely a step up. The quality of features is excellent and the way the Taigun GT drives has to be the most impressive aspect of this entire package. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.
