Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better, Tata Harrier or Maruti XL6?
  • Both cars are good in their own forte. Tata Harrier has got the design to impress, and save for some minor misses it’s well-equipped too. It’s definitely the one to pick if you want the big SUV experience, or if you want to be chauffeured around to work. Yes, it’s not the easiest to drive inside the city (and that's largely down to its big size), but we reckon one can get used to it over time. It’s the one that currently offers the best blend of city and highway drivability. On the other hand, the updates to the XL6 make it a better family MPV. Especially the added safety and convenience features are a welcome addition. The redesigned front face packs more attitude and offers a better road presence with new safety and premium features are a welcome addition. 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 Bolero Neo and Renault Triber?
  • Selecting the right vehicle would depend on certain factors such as your preference of the brand, usage, cabin space, and last, the fuel type. The Mahindra Bolero Neo makes absolute sense to pick the Neo over the Bolero in every use case. It offers a high sitting position and good visibility. It has an excellent off-road ability with ladder-frame chassis, and rear-wheel drive. On the other hand, the Triber is the answer to the need for an affordable and practical yet good-looking vehicle. It offers a good boot space of 625 liters and received a 4-Star GNCAP safety rating. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.
