I am looking for a compact suv near 14-15 lacs. But can't decide . Initially I thought among Brezza, Venue and Sonet. Now I am seeing every car has some or the other shortcomings. I need a 5 seater comfortable car, automatic which will mostly be for city use and sometimes long drives with family. Should I consider the upper segments car like Elevate and Seltos but again budget will be high. So I am quite confused.

If rear headrests are a genuine concern, there is a high chance that the updated Maruti Suzuki Brezza will have adjustable rear headrests, similar to the entry-level Victoris and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara variants. Additionally, you can expect a lengthier standard equipment list alongwith some cosmetic enhancements. As a result, the updated Brezza is likely to be a bit pricier than the outgoing version, and there won't be any discount on offer. If that is something that you're comfortable with, then the new Brezza will be worth the wait.But if you're on a tight budget, the Rs 50,000 discount seems like a tidy saving. Also, there's a high chance that you'll get quicker delivery of the outgoing version, while you could need to wait for a few weeks, for the updated Maruti Suzuki car.

If your 2014 Elite i20 petrol has only done 55,000km and is mechanically sound, there is no compelling reason to upgrade right now. The i20 is a well-built, reliable car with a proven petrol engine, and at that mileage it still has plenty of life left in it. The only reason to upgrade would be if your needs have changed - for example, if you now need more space, a higher driving position or more safety features. If your usage is still mostly city driving and the car is well-maintained, it makes more financial sense to keep it for a few more years. If you do decide to upgrade, look at the Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza or Mahindra XUV 3XO - all offer a higher seating position, better safety and a more modern ownership experience without being a huge jump in size or price. But if the car is running well, there is no need to change it just for the sake of it.

The Skoda Kylaq 1.0 TSI is the best petrol SUV to buy with a budget of Rs 13 lakh, provided driving experience is a priority. If long-term reliability, low maintenance and a wide service network matter more, the Maruti Brezza is the better choice.At this budget, the Skoda Kylaq stands out for its excellent steering, confident handling and proven 1.0 TSI engine paired with a well-sorted chassis. It also undercuts many rivals while offering a premium feel and remains the enthusiast's choice in this segment. The only compromise is that the rear seat is better suited to two adults than three, and it misses out on a few convenience features offered by rivals.For buyers who simply want hassle-free ownership, the Brezza deserves serious consideration. Its naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine is smooth, reliable and inexpensive to maintain, while Maruti Suzuki's service network and strong resale value make it one of the easiest compact SUVs to own over the long term.
