My parents, aged 55+, are looking to purchase a new car for city use. We specifically want an automatic. Our budget is ₹6-12 lakh (on-road). Our main priorities are easy drivability in the city, some must-have features, good looks, and resale value. Mileage is not a concern as they drive only 500 km a month. The Cars we shortlisted are Alto K10, Swift, Celerio, i10, and Fronx. Which is a better value for money?
Asked by: Abdul Rayaan
Of the cars you have shortlisted, the Maruti Suzuki Celerio is probably the best value for money, as it is priced just above the Alto K10 and shares its engine, while offering up space, practicality, interior quality, and some features from larger, more expensive Maruti Suzuki cars. It is also among the most fuel-efficient petrol cars on sale, even though that is not really an issue for you.
You should also consider the Nissan Magnite 1.0 Turbo CVT, as it offers a much smoother automatic gearbox for the same amount of money; all the cars you have shortlisted feature the more basic AMT automatic gearbox.
