Petrol

The inching gap between diesel and petrol prices has nearly waved off the difference between the two in terms of prices. Refined petrol cars enhance the engine’s life and provides good pick-up for your short city commutes. With minimal wear and tear of your engine and low emissions compared to diesel, petrol is less noisy and one of the most common fuel types chosen by customers.

Diesel

The previous years have seen diesel fuel becoming cleaner than before. Diesel is known for better fuel efficiency and towing abilities, making it the perfect choice for long family trips. With great torque comes increased mileage, making it the best choice for every family car!

CNG

A surge in cars with CNG kits is a common sight in many cities across the nation for low prices, minimal emissions with a promise of cleaner mobility. This economical alternative may not have as much power and torque as its contrary options, but is definitely the go-to pocket-friendly option for local city commutes.

Electric

Commonly known as the sustainable hero for commutes in the future, electric vehicles are good for nature and our pockets. Available at a premium price bracket, electric cars are a hassle-free option for traffic and city commutes with no gears or clutches. With an increase in charging points across the nation, many drivers choose to install a charging station for frequent easy access.

Hybrid

The debate is incomplete without addressing the elephant in the room - hybrid cars. These cars typically come with two fuel hybrid options, Petrol + Electric and Diesel + Electric.
