History, food, culture – everything that the capital city has no dearth of! And if you've been exploring the city, you sure know that Delhi is unique when it comes to its roads and people. And travelling on these roads among Delhiites is a whole different story. Delhi loves to be up to date with fashion, gadgets, and, yes, cars too! A car subscription is a smart choice to avoid the hassles of upgrades when you can get one at the end of your tenure or after 2 years on your subscription with Quiklyz! 😮 However, with choices galore, it can be quite confusing to settle on the best for Delhi, But fret not, we're here to help 😉
Unlike Mumbai, Delhi has wide roads, and so you'll need something more than simply a bare-bones hatchback. An engine with a little performance to spare because you're going to vroom on these Delhi roads! So, let's skip the basic hatchbacks and step up to those that offer a little bit more of everything. The obvious choice here is the Maruti Suzuki Swift, which has been a shining star in the Indian car economy for years now. It offers a 1.2 litre petrol engine with either a manual or an AMT automatic gearbox. Maruti offers the AMT gearbox on all trim levels except the base trim, which offers the customer quite a lot of options. The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios also offers a similar engine/gearbox option, but it also offers a 1.0 litre turbocharged petrol that offers almost 100bhp. If you're looking for a diesel option, the Grand i10 Nios can cater to you for this as well, with a 1.2 litre diesel engine that is known for its efficiency.
You must know that the people of Delhi believe that 'bigger is better,' so a larger sedan is also an excellent option for the city roads. An ideal choice here is the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, which not only oozes elegance with its sleek look but is spacious and quite comfortable. It has a 1.5 litre petrol engine and comes in 5-speed manual and automatic gearbox options. Like most cars from the auto manufacturer, it is reliable and economical. However, if you are looking for a diesel option, you might want to steer clear of this model. On the other hand, consider the Hyundai Verna if you want something a little more upgraded. It is available in 1.5 litre petrol, 1.5 litre diesel, and 1.0 turbo-petrol options. Depending on your driving preference, you can also choose 6-speed manual, CVT, 6-speed AT, or 7-speed DCT transmissions. Add to this its high-end tech features, and you have the perfect companion to accompany you on short and long drives every day.
If you're looking at how to narrow down on your petrol and diesel variant options, you can just compare cars here and take your pick! 😉
If you prefer your gearshifts to be smoother, then the right cars would be something like a Honda Amaze, with its shiftless CVT automatic gearbox. Honda has gone so far as to offer the Amaze as a diesel with the CVT automatic gearbox, which is unique for its segment. A left-field option for this segment is the Tata Tigor EV. Electric Vehicles will be charged ZERO road tax in Delhi, so it might just make sense to plump for an EV.
The Honda City is another great option if you want a petrol-powered vehicle. The City's top trim level offers an instrument cluster that is part colour TFT screen, cruise control, a sunroof, an electrically retractable rear sunblind, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, WebLink, and a whole list of voice commands. There's also Honda Connect which allows you to start the car, check the fuel level in the car, tyre pressure, and more – all from your mobile phone! And if you've got Alexa at home, you can command it to start with an Alexa command. These large sedans make for the best cars for long drives to the perfect getaways around Delhi.
If you've further eased into the city life, then you must be following the 'go big or go home' rule, then the best car for Delhi is an SUV. The Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and MG Hector are the right cars with all the features and driveline options of the sedan segment they compete against with a commanding driving position and the ability to go down dirt roads. If you need something more comfortable and from the off-road pedigree, you can subscribe to the Mahindra Thar or Jeep Compass that offer the option of an all-wheel drive.
Delhi's unique needs mean there is a wide range of options, and on Quiklyz, you will always find what you're looking for. You'll never get bored of your car when you can upgrade to a different model at the end of your tenure with all the latest features, space, and the best fuel efficiency so that you can whizz along those Delhi roads in style! 😎💙
