Diwali is right around the corner and India is super stoked for its favorite festival! Festivals in India are directly related to sweets, or mithais as they’re popularly called. Here at GoMechanic, we’re all car enthusiasts, and we couldn’t help but compare our cars to sweets. So today, here are some cars as sweets, a Diwali special for you!

Toyota Fortuner – Kaju Barfi
First up on the list of cars as sweets is the evergreen Toyota Fortuner. Here’s a little about the kaju barfi. It is a chewy and sweet mixture of cashews, milk solids, and sugar. There is no one in this world who would not like a kaju barfi, and there’s no one who doesn’t like the Fortuner. But, there’s only one thing that we hate about these two – the pricing. Both, the kaju barfi and the Fortuner are so expensive that it burns a hole in your pocket when you go out to get one home. Neither of them looks like they’re worth a million bucks, but the quality and satisfaction are always top-notch!

Mahindra XUV700 – The classic Peda
The Peda is one of the most loved sweets in India. It can literally be used on any occasion and there is hardly any person who could turn down this piece of sugar. But how is this similar to the XUV700? Well, have you ever gone to a sweet shop and asked for pedas? The most common answer you’ll get is that they’re out of stock. Same is the case with our beloved XUV700, you can never get your hands on one! While you may only have to wait a day or two to get your pedas, the XUV700 can make you wait for over a year! Sidenote – want some pedas for Diwali? Better go and get them now!

Hyundai Tucson – Gulkand Barfi
The gulkand barfi is that sweet in the shop that always looks so different than the others. It’s always well decorated and is made to look very attractive. Well, the Tucson is a similar case. Most Hyundai cars are like this for that matter. They always stand apart from the crowd in terms of looks and features, and always have something unique to offer. While many people stick to the traditional paths, those who choose the Gulkand mithai fall in love with it. Yes, it’s not as safe for you because of the extraordinary amount of sugar, but hey, it surely gives the best bang for your buck! Well, Hyundai cars have a very similar story. Not the safest, but definitely the most attractive, inside out. This is the most peculiar(in a good way) car on this list of cars as sweets!

Maruti Suzuki Alto – Milk Cake
The milk cake is as simple as it sounds. It is a solidified, sweet form of milk, and it tastes like heaven. It is one of the most affordable sweets in the market and almost every house has a box lying around somewhere. The Alto has a pretty similar story. It is cheap, gets the job done, and never gives you a complaint. In fact, if you go to buy your milk cakes in your Alto, you might even get a special discount!

Tata Nexon EV – Sugar-free barfi
The untraditional ones on this list of cars as sweets! What’s with the new kids trying to be all healthy all of a sudden? No one wants the traditional sugar-loaded sweets that may or may not be harmful to you. While there are some people who have switched to a sugar-free lifestyle, some are still strict believers who don’t like change. Same is the case for the Tata Nexon EV. Yes, it’s good for the environment, it’s sustainable, and it almost feels the same as an ICE. However, people are still not wrapping their heads around EVs. We all know that this is what the future will look like, but do you want to live in a sugar-free world? It is healthy, but it just doesn’t feel right. Moreover, sugar-free sweets aren’t available everywhere, just like EV chargers!

Maruti Suzuki Swift – Soan Papdi
The most common one on this list of cars as sweets! Soan papdi is that mithai that quietly sits on every Indian table. It may not be needed, but it is always there. Same is the case for your Maruti Swift. It is so common in India that it feels like every family has one. It is that car that silently gets the job done, without any pomp and show. Although silent, it is an effective, efficient, and comfortable choice.
