Women’s Day 2016: Best cars for women

Tata Nano GenX:

Tata’s smallest offering, the Nano isn’t that expensive to buy, but is still a wonderful car to scoot through those narrow lanes of the metro city. The current generation Nano GenX comes with Easy Shift (automated manual transmission) and now with electronically assisted power steering which are a boon to commute through those nasty traffic jams. The Nano surprisingly has multiple storage places inside which seems unreal for a car of its size. The car has received a recent update from the manufacturer and comes in seven exciting colour shades.

Price: Rs 2.00 to 2.94 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi)

Maruti Suzuki WagonR:

If the Nano is not your mojo, then we have the WagonR from Maruti Suzuki which now comes with Auto Gear Shift (AGS) option. This city car may not be available with a diesel option but comes with CNG fuel alternative which can be used as a substitute to petrol. The alternative fuel option makes the running cost of the WagonR a steal letting you spend more on those shopping days! The Maruti Suzuki WagonR has got updated interiors as well as restyled exteriors. The WagonR is one of the most fuel efficient cars in the market. On the safety aspect, all the variants come with optional airbags for the driver and passenger.

Price: Rs 3.73 to 5.10 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi)

Honda Amaze facelift:

Honda has launched the facelifted version of the Amaze just a few days back. The compact sedan from Honda is an ideal package when you are looking for trouble-free ownership, refined engine and peace of mind. The Amaze is available in both petrol and diesel engine options. Honda has equipped the Amaze with a CVT gearbox which is an automatic transmission that delivers better fuel efficiency. The facelifted Amaze gets revised front fascia and an updated dashboard inside. The dashboard is now more attractive and gives an upmarket feel.

Price: 7.20 to 8.20 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi)

Volkswagen Polo GT TSI:

Now, this is one hatchback I would like to see women drive past me. The Polo GT is available in both petrol and diesel engine options. We would recommend the TSI (petrol) variant as it comes with an automatic DSG gearbox with gear shift pedal behind the steering wheel for those spirited women who enjoy driving. If you spend a lot of time behind the wheel and love to travel outside the city, the Polo GT TSI is the ideal companion for those journeys. The hatchback from Volkswagen is a definite looker with crisp lines accentuating its profile. The Polo is loaded with safety features to ensure you are taken care of well.

Price: Rs 8.90 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi)

Volkswagen Beetle:

‘Curves are Back’ is how Volkswagen describes the iconic Beetle. This hatchback is the perfect car if you like to stand out from the crowd, which is offered by the German company in four eye catching body colour options. The bug is powered by a petrol engine with good performance and powers the wheels via a sleek automatic gearbox. Feature-wise the Beetle gets keyless access with push button start, ambient lighting with three colour options to choose, a panoramic sunroof, and leather interiors to complete the premium feel.

Price: 29.40 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi)

Range Rover Evoque:

It’s big but maneuverable, it’s flashy but classy, it is the Evoque from Range Rover. The Evoque is Range Rover’s most edgy design in recent years, with capabilities to perform soft-road and off-road duties. Taking about cars for women, Victoria Beckham was a design consultant in the development of the Evoque. Powered by a diesel engine the Evoque provides loads of power to make any expedition enjoyable. Available only with an automatic transmission, it takes care of all the worries of managing gears and lets you concentrate more on enjoying the drive. 

Price: 47.10 to 63.20 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi)
