First Car on ₹10 Lakh Budget: Petrol or CNG? Find Your Perfect Match!
•Choosing your first car on a ₹10 lakh budget involves a dilemma between petrol and CNG, with options ranging from hatchbacks to small SUVs.
•CNG is more economical for high daily city commutes (40-50 km), offering significantly lower running costs due to better mileage (25-34 km/kg).
•Petrol cars offer superior performance, smoother driving, and instant pickup, crucial for highway overtaking and hill climbing, despite CNG advancements.
•Modern CNG cars with 'twin cylinder' technology address boot space issues, but petrol cars still provide uncompromised cargo space for family trips.
•While petrol cars have simpler maintenance, company-fitted CNG cars now boast strong resale value due to rising fuel prices and high demand.
