Best Car For Family

I am searching for a family car, with good space, decent performance, and a safe vehicle. After researching the subcompact SUV segment for three months, I finally picked the Nexon XM petrol variant, driven around 19k in 12 months. To begin with, the variant is a value for money product when I bought it in march-2020 around 9.79 lakh(on-road). Mileage- City mileage is not the wow, it's 12-14km, but on highways with lightfoot acceleration, cruising at 80-90kmph one can easily harness 20k/per ltr. Performance - performance is better than Naturally aspirated petrol engines and stands below XUV300(test-driven this car also but little beyond my budget, but performance-wise xuv300 z a rocket),1.2 revelation engine is having as-usual Turbo lag common in turbocharged engines and the engine feels spirited past 2000 rpm, driving modes an add on, one can customize the performance, sport mode for sprinted performance for ghat roads, eco mode to conserve fuel but very poor performance, city mode for city usage. Safety - from the base model itself Nexon gets standard safety features like dual airbag, ABS, TC, ESP, and child safety mounts handling - steering feedback is a benchmark in itself, stiffened suspensions give confidence while cornering in ghat roads. Space - decent among the rivals, rear-seat comfort is excellent, and under-thigh and knee room is ample.
