Hi all,

I'm yet posting a What Car? thread contempt maine reasoning I'd ne'er bash one. I've had pre owned cars each my beingness but this clip it volition beryllium a caller one, truthful present goes.

Use case:

• City usage 95% to 100%
• Will beryllium having 2 occupants astir of the clip positive chauffeur
• MT oregon AMT is ok
• School runs successful dense postulation approx 37km
• Hospital and ad-hoc runs
• 1 kid and 1 big (elderly) positive chauffer oregon 2 adults (elderly) positive chauffer

Requirements:

• Safe
• Good thrust prime for elderly. Benchmark Aria
• Ingress and egress for elderly
• Preferably spot 3 adults abreast astatine the rear
• Reliable
• Fuel efficient
• Should enactment E20 petrol
• Features indispensable have: rear camera, six airbags, ISOFIX
• Features bully to have: 360 camera, sunroof

Need for a replacement car:

• Replaces Aria arsenic it is unreliable
• Zen Estilo stays but relegated to backup owed to complaints of harsh thrust prime from elderly

Why bargain new:

• Pre-owned mightiness beryllium unreliable
• Safety
• Aspirational worth for elderly
• Sunroof for the kid

Other points:

• Less than 10 lakhs ex showroom preferred arsenic this volition beryllium a metropolis usage car
• No electrical arsenic I don't person location charging setup
• Will beryllium kept for 10 years
• An electrical mightiness articulation the store successful 2-3 years time

Options if purchased successful 2024:

• New Dzire ZXI+ MT
• Magnite Tekna+ 1.0 MT

Preferably apical variant arsenic we'd support it for long.

Options for 2024 connected the backmost burner:

• Brezza ZXI+ - 16L ish, positive rear spot is for 2 adults 1 kid
• Fronx Alpha oregon Delta+ (O) - bid hybrid coming, positive not GNCAP rated, positive nary sunroof. Top extremity lone with Turbo

Options if purchased successful 2025:

• Fronx Alpha bid hybrid, perchance with a facelift that adds 5 prima GNCAP and a sunroof. The accrued terms volition beryllium offset with little moving costs

Conundrum:

• My encephalon says to hold for the Fronx bid hybrid due to the fact that it meets casual ingress / egress criteria, tin spot 3 adults astatine the rear, and besides volition beryllium precise substance efficient
• The Dzire volition beryllium debased and mightiness beryllium hard for the elderly. The Magnite has a reluctant Nissan backing it and besides it doesn't travel with a sunroof
• I'm good to hold till mid adjacent twelvemonth but americium emotionally considering buying earlier - looking astatine the regular metropolis tally usage case, and with the intangibles associated with gifting a caller car for the kid and the elderly

What accidental you, BHPians?
