I am planning to buy the MG Hector Savvy Pro (top model) for around ₹21.5 lakh. It has almost all the required features and is very spacious compared to other cars in this price range. However, I am a little sceptical because I have seen many of your replies recommending other cars in this range-you mostly recommend Sierra and Seltos, but never Hector. Can you please let me know the reason? I will make my decision accordingly.

We recommend cars depending on people's specific needs. MG Hector is a spacious car and comes with a lot of features, and if someone is looking for those in a large SUV, we do recommend Hector. 

Hector has not received a full, ground-up generational change since its launch in 2019. Mg has updated it many times with facelifts, but to compete in the fast-changing segment, Hector would do better to get a full generation change. 

Hector's petrol and diesel engines are found to be thirsty units in the real world compared to their competitors. So if someone's priority is mileage, Hector falls low in their recommendation set.

Asked by: Damian Micky Dungdung

We own a 2015 Hyundai i10, and have recently booked the new Venue HX8 MT. The issue is that Hyundai, including the dealership and ASM, has no idea when the booking, which occurred in early December, will be delivered. They just keep extending the dates. What should we do? Cancel the booking? If so, then which car should we opt for? Our budget is limited to the HX8 MT price, which has an OTR of 13.55 in Ranchi. Kindly help us out. We feel pretty helpless. Thank you.

We understand your concern and genuinely sympathise with your situation. A dealership is expected to communicate the status of your booking clearly and provide regular, transparent updates. If your chosen colour or variant isn’t currently in the dealer’s inventory, a factory allocation and delivery typically takes around 30-45 days from the date of booking.The Hyundai Venue itself is a strong product, and a poor dealership experience shouldn’t cloud your purchase decision. It may be worth reaching out to another dealer in your city; some outlets are more proactive in their communication and may even have your preferred colour or variant readily available in stock.

Asked by: SivaSuriyanSK

I'm planning to buy a new car with a ₹10L on-road budget. My options are Kia Sonet HTK (Optional) and Hyundai Venue HX4. I'm a new driver, and because of my work schedule, the car will be parked in my hometown for about 20 days every 2 months. Both cars have the same engine, so which one is the better choice overall (comfort, features, driving ease, after-sales experience, and resale value)?

Both the Kia Sonet and the Hyundai Venue have the same powertrains under the hood, but the 2025 Venue was launched recently and has grown in size. The suspension, too, has been tweaked, and the ride is a lot more comfortable. So between the two, you can pick the Hyundai Venue.Parking your car for two months is not recommended. Please ask someone you trust to take the car out for a small drive every few days when you are not around. With E20 fuel, one of the problems is that if left for long, it can separate and attract water that can corrode your fuel tank. To avoid this, a simple measure is to keep your tank full and keep driving the car.

Asked by: Neel Chandarana

Hi Autocar Team, I am Neel. I am buying my first car and need suggestions for a non-AMT automatic car with an on-road budget of Rs 10 lakh and Rs 14 lakh. My priorities are safety, mileage and features like a 360-degree camera and cruise control. Kindly provide your suggestions.

For the 10 lakh band, you can look at either the Tata Altroz or Honda Amaze. Altroz gets a torque converter automatic and will be around 10 lakhs on road. It also gets the features you are looking for. Honda Amaze gets a CVT and will fit in your budget, but misses out on 360 degree camera. Both of these cars have secured a 5-star safety rating.For the 14 lakh, you can choose the Tata Nexon, the Petrol Creative DCT variant, which also gets most of the features you want.
