Bangalore is one of the most beautiful and developed cities in India. However, it is also one of the most crowded and busiest cities in the country. So, it is highly crucial for one to choose the most suitable car for navigating and manoeuvring on the busy and violent streets of Bangalore safely. Considering this, we have curated a list of the top five cars for Bangalore.
1. Tata Punch
When it comes to safe driving, Tata Punch is certainly one of the best choices. Starting at just Rs. 5.99 lakh, it comes with plenty of safety features, including iTPMS, dual airbags, auto headlamps, a fortified cabin, ABS, and EBD. It also has a high fuel efficiency of 19–27 km/l. What’s more, it also requires low maintenance. Stylish, strong, and comfortable with excellent handling and efficiency, the Tata Punch is undoubtedly the best car for its price for navigating the restless streets of Bangalore.
2. Mahindra Bolero
The classic SUV Bolero is another excellent choice when it comes to safety. It has a highly sturdy structure, which ensures your safety. Its high torque power of 210 Nm does not require you to accelerate when you are stuck in traffic. The Bolero is ideal for both hilly areas and city streets. Luxurious, spacious, powerful, tough, and with a seating capacity of 7, the Bolero is an ideal family car that ensures both safety and comfort.
3. Maruti Suzuki Jimny
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is a compact SUV that is particularly ideal for off-road driving and long rides. However, its sturdy design, high torque and brake power, and pretty good mileage also make it a good choice for driving on the busy streets of Bangalore. It comes with six airbags, which will ensure the safety of every person inside the car. It also features brake LSD, which significantly boosts its braking power. The Jimny is capable of handling even the harshest of terrains.
4. Hyundai Santro
Due to its affordability, dependability, and overall balance of features, the good old Hyundai Santro is still a favourite among Indians. The new Santro got even better! It has an excellent mileage of about 20–30 km/l. It is easy to drive, has a comfortable interior, and has quite a sturdy structure. Its high reliability, balanced features, and low price make it a great choice for driving in Bangalore.
5. Tata Nexon.ev
The Nexon.ev has been put at last on this list because people are yet to get used to EVs in India. However, Bangalore has installed quite a large number of EV charging stations, so the Nexon.ev is definitely worth buying. It is certainly the best choice for environmentally conscious people. Also, considering the fact that the once-clean and green city of Bangalore is getting more and more polluted day by day, the need for EVs is increasing rapidly. The Nexon.ev comprises a 360-degree surround-view system that enables you to see everything around you. This would be very useful when driving in a busy city like Bangalore. Besides, it provides utmost comfort with its luxurious seats, electric sunroof, multi-purpose infotainment system, JBL cinematic sound system, and wireless charger.
