Hey guys,
My uncle currently owns an Alto, its now 6 years old, and is looking for an new car. His budget is around 4.5 -5. He has been searching and had decided upon Hyundai Santro (OR: 4.5lakh). I suggested him to search further (as I felt Santro is outdated!) and asked him to check Brio/Beat/figo etc, and after TD, he liked the Brio,and even after discount it would cost him 5.25lakh(free accessories: parking sensors,teflon,mats,flaps etc) . Now there comes Petrol/diesel confusion since he has a daily run of 30kms, and nearly around 1000km per month(in bangalore traffic). So search went further to Figo, Beat, Etios. The mid variants of Figo/Etios would cost him above 6.25 and decided against it.
Specifications:
Location : Bangalore
Travel distance : 1000 KM's per month
Type : Hatchback
Budget : 4.5-5 Lakhs on road. Can extend a little bit for a fuel efficient diesel.
Basic Needs in car : Good ride quality/powerful AC/decent mileage and ASS/power window/central lock/music system.
So the choices are narrowed down to:
Hyundai Santro Xing GLS (4.5) / Hyundai Santro Xing GLS - LPG (4.8)
Honda Brio SMT (5.25)
Chevy beat LS- Diesel (5.8)
I really dont know much about LPG and how it will affect the engine. So guys please advise on that. Which would be a good choice to go for?
PS - Screw Banglore road tax!
