Questions you may find useful

I’m looking for a car for my wife, who is turning 30. Her daily usage will be short city drives, about 8 km to and from the gym, along with grocery runs and mall visits. Our budget is ₹15 lakh, and we already own an i20 and an XUV700. Is the Thar 3-door RWD a good option for her, or would something more practical and fuel-efficient be better?

Considering her use is mostly in the city, the Mahindra Thar 3 Door is not a great idea as it's too large and bulky. It is best suited to the off-road track, or at least if you travel out for weekend picnics or getaways often. You can expect the Mahindra Thar Mileage to be around 9 to 11 kpl in the city and 13 to 15 kpl on the highway. Consider a compact SUV like the Skoda Kylaq, the Kia Sonet, or the Hyundai Venue, as they are the right size, but also practical and feature-loaded enough, with efficient engines. Given the limited usage and considering you have two other cars, you could also consider a compact electric car like the Tata Punch EV.
