Buying a new affordable hatchback

    I have shortlisted the Maruti Wagon R, Tata Tiago and Hyundai Santro as my options. I'm looking for a car for my daily use and for making trips to my home town of Satpura.

    Buying a new affordable hatchback

    I can’t decide between buying the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, Renault Kwid and the Hyundai Santro. I need the car for my daily office commute as well as for travelling to my hometown in Satpura, one of the hilly regions. I want a car within Rs 5 lakh that is safe to drive in the ghats, and is good for bad roads and long trips. It should also have a strong build.

    We would choose the WagonR for several reasons. Firstly, it has the strongest engine, which is a big help in hilly regions where you need all the power you can get. The ride isn’t as good as the Kwid’s but the Wagon R tackles bad roads quite well and feels fairly stable at high speeds.

    The Santro feels the most planted and solid, but overall, the Wagon R is the nicest car to drive. Also, in your region, Maruti’s service network has an edge.

    The Mahindra XUV 300 facelift will be called the XUV 3XO. Should more brands rename models for facelifts?

    Yes, it could give new life to a slow-selling car

    Yes, but only if there are significant changes

    No, it's confusing and dilutes the brand name
