Buying a car for your retirement is something that many of us think of but never get right. Looking at the place you are at that time in your life, you may have the financial resources to buy a sports car, but would it be practical for your daily use? You might have to consider things like will the ingress/egress be easy? Will it give me comfort? Will it be safe? Here are 5 such picks under Rs 50 lakhs that we recommend as cars for senior citizens.
Toyota Camry
First on our list is the Toyota Camry. It is the only Hybrid sedan and the car gives excellent mileage. Being a Toyota you will have reliability and would be a great pick if you don’t want to be flashy. Camry has a rear-passenger-focused layout and this would mean that if you want to have a chauffeur-driven car, then the Camry would strike the balance between economy and luxury. The on-road Mumbai price of this car is Rs 47 lakh.
MG Gloster
MG Gloster is a Rs 43.59 lakh purchase. Here you get an SUV that is easy on ingress/egress. It has the most powerful engine in its segment. The 3rd row of seats is usable and it also has an amount of space inside the cabin. The 2nd row of seats feels very relaxing inviting. This is a body on frame SUV and comes with offroad modes. The ground clearance is not that high but that is what makes this SUV look royal and rough at the same time.
Mini Cooper Countryman
The Mini Cooper Countryman has priced at Rs 47.12 lakhs. This has a spacious cabin and a very good design. It is a car which you would like to take out in the city and drive yourself and also take out for the weekend with your whole family. It does hide in a crowd but also well appreciated among people who know about it. The Mini Cooper Countryman also comes with a JCW version but that shoots slightly above Rs 50 lakh. It surely has the punch if you are into enthusiastic driving. Do consider the Mini Cooper JCW if you are looking at an affordable sporty car to drive.
Volvo XC40
Volvo XC40 is the safest SUV that you can buy in the list. It comes at an exact price of Rs 50 lakh. At this price, you get an SUV type design and the safety and security of a Volvo Car. You do miss out on resale but this car would last you for the rest of your life.
Kia Carnival
The last one on the list of cars for senior citizens is the Kia Carnival. At Rs 41 lakhs the Kia Carnival provides you with a limousine type of experience. It has great rear-seat comfort and there are a lot of option and ways you can get the car customized for your taste. The car is not fun to drive but being an MPV we do not expect you to be in the driver’s seat.
