Methodology

Every buying guide on Auto Index India follows the same research and citation workflow. We do not publish anything that fails the checklist below.

• Multi-source verification. Every numeric claim — pricing, specifications, performance figures, safety ratings — links to its source. We require at least one official document plus one independent, editorially-trusted source before publishing.
• Real-world over claimed. Where official and independent figures diverge, we publish both with the source named. Independently-verified figures are treated as the primary numbers for reader decisions.
• Honest weaknesses. Each model review names what it is not good at. Pure positive coverage is a sign of advertorial, not journalism.
• No paid placements. We do not take money from manufacturers. No affiliate links to dealer portals. No sponsored top-of-list slots.
• Update cycle. Every article carries a Last verified date. Pricing, variants, and ADAS feature lists are re-checked when an OEM updates the model.

Editorial principles

• Front-load the answer — first sentence answers the title with a number.
• Cite numbers inline; sources surface as a structured section, not a footnote dump.
• Acknowledge uncertainty. If the data is thin, we say so.
• Direct, declarative voice. No filler. No formulaic section endings.
• Comparison tables before walls of prose — buyers scan, then read.
