Top 5 Hatchbacks of 2021

Top 5 Hatchbacks of 2021.


  1. Tata Altroz





Tata vehicles have gained momentum due to their rigid and safe cars. One of the most successful vehicles after "NEXON" is the Tata Altroz. You get 3 engine options with the Tata Altroz. The most fun-to-drive options is the "1.2 li- turbo" & the "1.5 ltr turbocharged" diesel. However, if you are considering the base model or a budget-friendly Altroz then the 1.2ltr Revetron petrol engine makes sense. 
Advantages 
1. It has a 5-star safety rating in the NCAP
2. It gets Turbo engine - producing 110bhp power
3. Connected car tech - IRA
4. Infotainment system by Harman
Disadvantages
1. After-sale and services
2. Refinement issues
3.Not equipped with an automatic gearbox



2. Hyundai i-20






Hyundai cars are known for there best in class ride quality & after-sales service. Koreans are known for their innovative features - may it be wireless charging or the connected car app "Blue link".

Hyundai i-20 is equipped with three engine options and three gearboxes.

A 1.2 ltr petrol engine can be opted with a CVT and a manual gearbox, whereas the 1.0 ltr TGDI engine can opt with either an IMT or a seven-speed DCT gearbox.  


Advantages

1. Top model gets 6 airbags - increased safety

2.Lot of options to choose from

3. After-sales service

4.Interior quality 


Disadvantages

1.Costlier than its counterparts


3. Maruti Suzuki Baleno





The top-selling hatchback by one of the most trusted brands Maruti Suzuki. The car gets a proper automatic gearbox - CVT which is kind of sludgiest but considering the low maintenance cost it's one of the best cars to consider, starting with an ex-showroom price of 6.94 lakhs, it is one of the most affordable premium hatchbacks. Powered with a 1.2 ltr dual jet petrol engine which produces 84 bhp power with 140Nm of torque and a 1.2ltr VVT petrol engine. It's the best option to consider for the budget-friendly buyer.


Advantages 

1.Reliable Engine 

2.After-sale service 

3. Higher mileage

4. High resale value


Disadvantages

1. Fragile build quality

2. No option of a Turbo Engine 

3. No diesel engine available


4. Swift






Swift is one of the most reliable cars in India. Powered with a 1.2 ltr VVT dual jet engine, produces 89 bhp of power and 113Nm of torque. Swift is in its 3rd gen, with the addition of an AMT gearbox, which is a bit jerky. Maruti has now discontinued its diesel engine which will have an impact on the sales.


 Advantages

1. Reliable Engine

2. Lower service cost

3. Better fuel efficiency

4. Powerful AC


Disadvantages

1. Managed to score - 2 stars in the GNCAP

2.Rear seat uncomfortable

5. i-10 Nios






Nios is again a brilliant product from Hyundai. Nios can opt with 4 engine options namely the 1.2 ltr kappa petrol engine, 1.2 U2 CRDI diesel, 1.2ltr kappa Dual VTVT petrol bi-fuel, 1.0 ltr turbo GDI. As Hyundai is known for its feature-packed cars, nios is not an exception. However, it gets an AMT gearbox which is better than Swift but is a bit laggy and jerky. It could have been a nice addition if the top variant would have equipped with 4 airbags.


Advantages

1. Interior plastic is best in the segment

2.1st in segment wireless charging 

3. 8 inch Touch screen

4. Flexible warranty options


Disadvantages

Engine  Now, the Hyundai i20 has a lot of features, talking about the technical part of the car it gets 1.2 -liter kappa petrol and the 1.0ltr turbo petrol engine , if I get a choice to pick one, I would pick the 1.0 ltr petrol. The turbo engine produces 120 ps of power and 170nm of torque. If you want a car mainly for the cities and occasional holiday trips the 1.2 makes more sense than the turbo petrol.

Next-Gen Maruti Suzuki Ertiga - Desined to Impress

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga - Technology meets style When we talk about a family car, we are always in the search of a 7 or maybe an eight-seater but, what about the budget, mileage, service, and safety. Now to answer all these questions asked by me, I think Maruti has already launched a car, way back in 2012. It's the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, sold as XL6 by Nexa and they are planning to launch XL7 as well. I think Ertiga is one of the best family seven-seater available in the market. So let's have a look at some of the technical specifications and features of the car. There is only one engine on offer, the 1462cc petrol engine, with two fuel options, petrol, and CNG. However, CNG is only available in the LXI and VXI, manual. Mileage of the car is more than expected by a seven-seater, 17.90kmpl for the petrol and 26.08 km/kg for the CNG variant. 1. Engine and transmission  (ZXI Plus Petrol) Engine type                  - K15 hybrid Displacement...
