Hello all

I was helping a friend with research on buying a hatchback, and in the process collected a lot of brochures,on-road price quotes to gauge the current market scenario.
I ended up compiling two documents, one to summarize basic Technical Specifications & one as a Price Range comparison tool of sort.

Here is short description of the two pages :

1 - All hatchbacks (excluding the luxury ones viz. Mercedes A-Class, Mini Cooper etc) are included, a total of 29 Cars

2 - Only Petrol cars are considered, diesel/LPG/CNG cars are not included.

3 - All information is taken from brochures downloaded via the native websites of each car, information absent(in the brochures) is NOT filled in with alternate sources.

4 - The price shown is for On-Road, Mumbai as on 21st September 2013, courtesy quotes from carwale.com (please inform if this violates any privacy/law)

5 - The price list is designed for comparison at a particular price point (say 4.50-4.75 lacs), by looking at collums in the price charts, this was done since price was the focal point in the search & other factors like styling,FE etc were secondary

6 - I've separated the cars into segments based on my & my friends approach, I'm aware that it does not follow the industry standard (B1,B2 etc), please try and ignore it

I apologize for any errors in data or formatting, plsu the resolution maybe too small for certain text, sorry again.

P.S :

1 - Moderators remove/edit the thread as required.

2 - If anyone wants to use this as a template, email/PM me.

A big thank you Rush Parekh for the suggestion.

Nice work. But I would like to point out Mahindra e20 is not a petrol car either

Very nice comparison - I especially like the last 4 images that plot the cars/variants out based on price.

I wanted my friend to go in for a top variant with ABS & Airbags instead of a entry variant of a bigger/fancier car, this helped with that.
