If you want something with a bit of sporting intent in the way it rides, the Triumph Speed 400 makes for a good purchase. It is a relaxed city commuter with good suspension, a smooth and grunty engine, as well as an agile demeanour. If you want a more mellow riding experience but want a Triumph, the Speed T4 makes a good case for itself. If you want bikes with a more old-school riding experience, then the Honda CB350 models and the Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic / Hunter 350 models deserve your attention. All bikes here have been out for multiple years now and have largely proven themselves to be reliable machines. A test ride of these bikes will help you decide which one suits you the best.

The Hyundai Venue is a good compact SUV, and the 1.5-litre diesel engine is a strong performer and is quite efficient too. The DPF burns off trapped soot only after it gets hot enough. This happens when the car is driven for longer distances and at higher speeds. Roughly about 70 to 80 km with speeds above 60kph. If these conditions are not met, you will be alerted to run a DPF regeneration cycle. Typically, the 60 to 80 kms drive with speeds above 60kph or a stationary one with the engine idling above 2000rpm for about 10 minutes. Thus, if your driving includes long runs about once or twice a week, you should be ok. However, if you are driving short distances most of the time, we would recommend you opt for a petrol variant instead.

For city use, we'd recommend picking between the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Honda CB350RS. Both seat the rider comfortably, although the CB350RS has a slightly sportier seating position. But also have a comfortable suspension, which is what you'll value in the city. If ridden sensibly, the two 350s will also return decent fuel economy. Do bear in mind that the Classic 350 is likely to be updated with a slip/assist clutch soon. if you are looking to buy this bike, we'd advise you to defer your purchase by a few months.Since you're already looking at the Classic, its sibling, the Hunter 350, also makes for a great city bike. Despite its relatively smaller size, larger riders will fit just fine on the Hunter, and this is the most city-friendly machine of all the bikes you are looking at. The Harley-Davidson X440 is also a good option inside the city with its torquey engine, neutral ergonomics and decent suspension. But its fuel economy will be lower than the other bikes, and its top model falls outside your budget.Take a test ride of these bikes to decide which is the best option for you.

The Kia Syros is easily the best compact SUV for your requirements. Its the most spacious model in the segment and will comfortably accommodate your children. The high roof means there's lots of headroom, and legroom is actually comparable to larger vehicles. The 1-litre turbo-petrol with a manual gearbox in HTK Plus trim fits your budget.
