V3Cars is an Indian automotive information and media website based in Gurugram, Haryana. Inc42's company database lists the platform as having been founded in 2016 by Lakshya Khanna and categorises it as a bootstrapped business operating in the media and entertainment sector.[1]
The platform publishes information relating to passenger cars sold in India, including vehicle prices, specifications, features, dimensions, mileage, variants, reviews, comparisons, automotive news and car-buying guides.[2] It also operates online tools for calculating vehicle mileage, estimated journey expenditure, electric-vehicle running costs, car-loan instalments, fuel expenditure, estimated on-road prices and cost of ownership.[3]
History and organisation
[edit]Inc42 lists V3Cars as having been founded in 2016 and identifies Lakshya Khanna as its founder. The company profile describes the platform as producing research-based information intended to assist car buyers with vehicle-purchase decisions.[1]
The organisation's LinkedIn company profile also lists 2016 as its founding year and identifies Gurugram as its headquarters. It categorises V3Cars as a privately held organisation in the media-production industry.[4]
The website is operated by V3Cars Media Private Limited. Corporate-information services Tofler and IndiaFilings list the company under Corporate Identification Number U73100RJ2021PTC073443 and associate its registration with the Registrar of Companies, Jaipur.[5][6]
V3Cars identifies its head office as being located at JMD Megapolis in Sector 48, Gurugram. Its registered office is listed in the RIICO IT Zone at Sitapura in Jaipur, Rajasthan.[7]
Content
[edit]V3Cars publishes automotive information in written, video and database-oriented formats. Its website organises content around individual car manufacturers, models, variants and engine-and-transmission combinations.[2]
Individual model pages may include ex-showroom prices, estimated on-road prices, variant lists, engine specifications, transmission options, dimensions, mileage figures, equipment lists, exterior colours, images, competitors, ownership information and model-related news.[2]
The website also maintains sections for automotive news, expert reviews, comparisons, variant analyses, buying guides, feature explanations and fuel-efficiency reviews.[8]
Automotive news
[edit]The news section covers new-car launches, price announcements, model updates, facelifts, new variants, safety-test results, forthcoming vehicles and developments involving automotive manufacturers operating in India.[9]
The website also publishes information relating to car offers, discounts, finance schemes, limited editions and changes in model availability. Information of this type is generally organised by manufacturer, model and publication date.[9]
Variants Explained
[edit]A recurring V3Cars format is titled Variants Explained. Articles and videos published under this format compare the prices, equipment and powertrain combinations available with different variants of a particular vehicle.[10]
The analyses commonly compare the price difference between adjacent variants with the additional equipment offered by the more expensive variant. They may also distinguish between variants on the basis of engine type, transmission, fuel type, battery capacity or drivetrain.[10]
Where multiple powertrain options are available, separate recommendations may be provided for petrol, diesel, compressed natural gas, hybrid or electric versions of the same model. Recommendations are presented according to the buyer's budget, preferred powertrain and equipment requirements rather than as a single recommendation for every buyer.[10]
The format also compares the selected model's dimensions, engine specifications, mileage or electric range with those of competing vehicles in the same market segment.[10]
Reviews
[edit]The review section contains vehicle reviews, first-drive reports, comparison reviews, fuel-efficiency reports and car-buying analyses.[8]
Reviews may examine exterior design, cabin space, seating, storage, comfort, features, powertrain behaviour, transmission operation, ride quality, handling, fuel efficiency and the vehicle's position relative to competing models.[8]
The website's expert-review section includes model-specific assessments and guidance intended for buyers researching cars in the Indian market.[11]
Vehicle comparisons
[edit]V3Cars publishes editorial comparisons between vehicles competing in the same or overlapping market segments. These articles may compare prices, dimensions, engine specifications, transmission options, mileage, features and other purchase considerations.[12]
A separate comparison tool allows users to select multiple vehicles and view their specifications and other information alongside one another.[13]
Depending on the selected models, the comparison can cover ex-showroom prices, engine displacement, power, torque, transmission, fuel type, mileage, dimensions and equipment.[13]
Fuel-efficiency testing
[edit]V3Cars publishes real-world fuel-efficiency reviews covering petrol, diesel, compressed-natural-gas, hybrid and electric vehicles.[14]
The published reports may contain separately observed city and highway figures, together with comparisons against manufacturer-claimed mileage or range figures. Some reports also use the recorded results to estimate fuel expenditure and compare the expected running costs of alternative powertrain options.[14]
For electric vehicles, the website may discuss energy consumption, battery capacity, charging requirements, range and estimated running cost rather than conventional fuel consumption.[14]
Car guides
[edit]The car-guide section publishes explanatory material relating to the purchase, registration, operation and ownership of passenger cars.[15]
Topics covered by the section include vehicle identification numbers, Regional Transport Office codes, registration-related information, engine and fuel types, accessories, vehicle maintenance, ownership considerations and general car-buying guidance.[15]
Features Explained
[edit]The Features Explained section describes the function and operation of individual items of equipment offered in passenger cars.[16]
The section covers convenience, comfort, infotainment, safety and driver-assistance features. Some articles also discuss whether a feature can be installed after purchase and provide an indicative assessment of the cost or practicality of aftermarket installation.[16]
Research and calculation tools
[edit]V3Cars operates several web-based tools related to fuel efficiency, journey expenditure, car financing, vehicle prices and ownership costs.[3]
Mileage calculator
[edit]The mileage calculator allows users to calculate fuel efficiency by entering the distance travelled and the quantity of fuel consumed.[17]
The accompanying instructions describe a full-tank method in which the vehicle is refuelled, driven for a measurable distance and refuelled again. The distance travelled is divided by the fuel required to refill the tank.[17]
Trip mileage calculator
[edit]The trip mileage calculator estimates the fuel quantity and expenditure associated with a planned journey. The user can enter the expected journey distance, vehicle mileage and prevailing fuel price.[18]
The tool can also be used after a journey to estimate observed fuel efficiency or to divide the calculated journey cost between multiple travellers.[18]
Electric-vehicle mileage calculator
[edit]The electric-vehicle mileage calculator estimates energy efficiency, electricity expenditure and distance-based running cost for an electric vehicle.[19]
The tool uses inputs such as distance travelled, electricity consumed or battery energy used and electricity cost. Its results can be used to compare the estimated running cost of an electric vehicle with that of a petrol, diesel or compressed-natural-gas vehicle.[19]
On-road price calculation
[edit]The on-road-price section estimates the total cost payable for a new vehicle beyond its ex-showroom price.[20]
Depending on the selected vehicle and location, an estimate may include registration charges, road tax, insurance and other applicable costs. The actual amount can vary according to the city, dealer, insurer, selected variant and optional services.[20]
Car-loan calculator
[edit]The car-loan calculator estimates an equated monthly instalment using the amount financed, interest rate and repayment period entered by the user.[21]
The estimate allows users to examine how changes in the loan amount, interest rate or tenure affect the monthly instalment and total repayment.[21]
Fuel-cost calculator
[edit]The fuel-cost calculator estimates the amount a vehicle user may spend on fuel over a selected distance or period.[22]
Its calculation uses inputs such as expected distance travelled, vehicle mileage and fuel price. It can also be used to compare the estimated expenditure associated with different vehicles or fuel types.[22]
Fuel-price information
[edit]The website maintains location-specific pages containing petrol, diesel and other fuel-price information for cities and states in India.[23]
Fuel-price information is also used as an input in some of the website's mileage, journey-cost and ownership-cost calculations.[23]
Cost of ownership
[edit]V3Cars publishes cost-of-ownership calculations for selected vehicles and powertrain combinations.[24]
Depending on the calculation, the estimate may consider fuel or electricity expenditure, maintenance, insurance, depreciation and financing expenses. These calculations are intended as estimates because actual ownership costs vary according to usage, location, driving conditions, insurance, maintenance and resale value.[24]
Contributors and distribution
[edit]V3Cars publishes articles under individual author profiles as well as editorial or team bylines. Its authors directory lists contributors and provides links to their published work.[25]
The website also maintains a video section containing vehicle reviews, walkarounds, comparisons, variant analyses, feature explanations, fuel-efficiency reports and automotive news videos.[26]
Video content is additionally distributed through the organisation's official YouTube channel.[27]
The website provides category-based RSS feeds for content including automotive news, reviews, comparisons, videos, buying guides, feature explanations and press releases.[28]
Use of V3Cars reporting by other publications
[edit]Automotive reporting and vehicle-testing information published by V3Cars have been attributed by other Indian publications and automotive-commerce websites.
In May 2024, The Financial Express referred to a V3Cars report while covering leaked engine and mileage information relating to the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift.[29]
In August 2024, The Financial Express attributed details concerning the equipment and indicative additional cost of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza Urbano Edition to V3Cars.[30]
The publication has also used V3Cars-supplied or attributed images in reports concerning vehicles including the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Kia Carens.[31][32]
In June 2025, Cars24 published an expected timeline of future Hyundai models and stated that the list was based on a media report published by V3Cars. The article separately attributed expected launch years for several Hyundai models to V3Cars.[33]
Cars24 also attributed a list of expected Kia Syros features to information reported by V3Cars before the vehicle's launch.[34]
In another report, Cars24 cited V3Cars while discussing the possibility of an all-wheel-drive version of the Mahindra XEV 9e.[35]
Spinny cited figures from a V3Cars real-world fuel-efficiency test in an article about the Jeep Compass. The figures attributed to V3Cars concerned city and highway mileage for the diesel-automatic version of the vehicle.[36]
