The secret sauce in any relationship is a well-chosen car…. A good car helps grease the wheels of a relationship and some pretty unforgettable memories can be created on the road 😇 Couples need to go places and do things and having a car that’s suited to their particular lifestyles will help. Every couple is different and as such, needs a different car. Which one are you?
Some couples’ natural environment is, and always will be, the city. They thrive in the urban setting, vibing with its rapid, rhythmic pulse. They appreciate the rush, the crowd, the nocturnal energy. They primarily use their car to move around within the city itself, and as such, need something compact, peppy, and comfortable. The urban couple doesn’t need too much space; it’s rarely more than the two of them in the car and they never need to carry much luggage—you can have pretty much anything doorstep-delivered in the city. They also most definitely need an automatic. With city traffic, a manual transmission car is just not the way to go. The urban couple is best off with a small or premium hatchback like the Hyundai Grand i10, Honda Brio, Maruti Suzuki Baleno, or Hyundai i20.
This couple is always looking for the next adventure. With abundant reserves of excitement and energy, they are constantly brimming over with plans. They love the great outdoors, love indulging in all sorts of adventure. This couple gives off a real go-anywhere energy and to complement that, they are best served by a go-anywhere car. The outdoorsy couple needs an SUV, something that can tackle rocks, gravel, mud, sand, rain, snow, and sunshine, boasts a big fuel tank for long journeys into the hinterland, has a lot of space to fit bags, bicycles, dogs, skis, kayaks, and what have you, and is generally rugged and reliable. The Mahindra XUV500, Thar, Tata Safari, or Toyota Fortuner would complement the outdoorsy couple perfectly.
The eco-conscious couple cares deeply—and actively—about the environment. They are well-informed about the global environmental crisis and are sensitive to the everyday ways of wronging the planet. This couple goes to great lengths to reduce their carbon footprint: they reduce, reuse, and recycle. However, they are also pragmatic, and they realise that mobility, while not great for the planet, is a necessity for life. They recognise the need for a car and certainly want to partake in the pleasure of driving. Luckily for this couple, electric cars have finally entered the mainstream: they can now choose from great options like the Tata Nexon EV or the MG ZS EV.
The pragmatic couple believes in doing things the sensible way. They appreciate stability and predictability. They can have fun—oh, they can be a real hoot 💃🕺—but when it comes down to brass tacks, pragmatism must prevail. They are generally very happy in their ordered lives: things work on a schedule and there is a defined time and place for everything. They are healthy, they exercise, they shine at work, they sleep well, and they have a close, reliable social circle. The pragmatic couple needs a comfortable, capable car that is easy to maintain and reliable to run. It shouldn’t be dull, but it certainly needn’t sport a spoiler on the back. The Honda City or the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz comes to mind in the context of the pragmatic couple: comfortable, sensible cars that are nevertheless a pleasure to drive or be driven in. Though urban SUVs like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos deserve to be mentioned here as popular pragmatic choices nowadays.
We don’t mean to box all couples into these four categories. As a couple, you might fall in one of these four, between them, or even beyond them. The point we are trying to drive home, however, is that every couple is different and thus matches well with a different car. Luckily for them, at Quiklyz, we have enough variety, such that everyone can have exactly what they need.
