I am planning to buy an automatic car. My 90% running is on the highway. I am confused between the Hyundai Venue DCT and the Maruti Brezza AT.

Both the Hyundai Venue DCT and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza AT are good cars to drive around town, but since 90% of your running will be on the highway, we would recommend going for the Venue DCT based primarily on engine performance.
The Venue’s 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine has enough torque and punch for quick overtakes. The DCT gearbox also keeps the engine in the right rev band to make the most of that torque.
The Brezza uses a larger 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which is smooth and refined, but because it does not have a turbocharger, it lacks torque compared to the Venue. On city runs and steady cruising, it performs just fine, but when you want a quick burst of acceleration, especially for overtakes or long gradients, it does feel less eager and takes more time to respond.

I think Amaze is the best option as per it has best is technology ivtec engine and CVT transmission is best for city chaos, but you will probably missed the 360 degree camera and sunroof. Still it's a good choice

Nothing beats brezza in the city, its 1.5 NA engine is very refined and capable for city use. Occasional highway rides is also comfortable and the power won't make much of a difference.

My 80% running is in the city, approximately 60 km daily. I want a smooth gearbox, a smooth engine and reliability. I am confused between the Maruti Brezza petrol manual and the Hyundai Creta petrol manual.

The Maruti Brezza and the Hyundai Creta are both quite good in terms of refinement. The Hyundai Creta is more spacious, has a better-quality interior, and is more comfortable, and since you travel mostly in the city, the CVT automatic gearbox will be a better fit for you. It is responsive, smooth and well-suited to traffic, making it effortless in the city.The Maruti Suzuki Brezza is a bit smaller in size, especially on the inside, does not have the build and interior quality that the Creta gets, and the automatic gearbox isn't as smooth as the Creta's CVT. If you most definitely want a manual gearbox, the Creta is still the better choice as you get a more powerful engine and a better package overall.

I want to buy a petrol automatic car in India with a budget of up to ₹13 lakh (on-road). My usage will be very low, as I will mostly drive the car only on weekends and not daily. Because of this, my main focus is on long-term reliability, low maintenance cost, and a hassle-free ownership experience. My key priorities are: Automatic transmission for ease of driving Petrol engine Low maintenance and a strong service network Reliable car with minimal long-term issues Comfortable for occasional city and highway drives The options I am currently considering are the Honda Amaze, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Hyundai Venue, and Skoda Kylaq. Considering my priorities of long-term reliability, low running cost, and peace-of-mind ownership, which car would you recommend in this budget?

Looking at your specific requirements, the Maruti Brezza would be a good option. The car is very reliable, and the petrol engine is paired with a torque convertor gearbox automatic which is the smoothest type of autobox around. It is also very reliable and well-suited to the constant start-stop traffic conditions in most of our cities. Being a Maruti, the service experience will be good, and it also meets your requirement of having a good service network.
