    We are a retired couple looking to buy a new SUV that is safe and offers a very comfortable back seat. Our daily commute is around 35 km a day. Our budget is ₹25 lakh. Kindly suggest some choices for us. Thank you.

    Given your requirement for good rear seat comfort, you could consider the MG Hector. It is a spacious SUV and scores well on rear seat comfort. However, fuel economy on the petrol version is poor. 
    Other options worth looking at include the Mahindra XUV700, Tata Harrier, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.

    Asked by: Suraj S I am looking for a car in the Rs 12 to 14 lakh on-road range in Bangalore. My requirements include good ground clearance, good boot space, decent to good features, a petrol engine, and strong performance. I am not looking for a sedan, but rather a hatchback, compact SUV, or midsize SUV if the budget allows. Service costs should also be reasonable. Please suggest suitable options. We would suggest you consider the new Hyundai Venue. The new version has grown in size, liberating more passenger room as well as luggage space. Performance is good, and you have two petrol units to choose from.We would recommend the turbo petrol since you are keen on performance. Feature-wise - as is typical of Hyundai - the car is very well equipped, though if you opt for the turbo petrol, you might have to spend a bit more to get a well-equipped car. Again, being a Hyundai car, service costs would not be very high.

    Asked by: Balagan Murugan My budget is around Rs 3 lakh, and I am looking for a family hatchback primarily for city commuting, for a family of four. Most of the options I am finding have been driven over 1,00,000 km and are usually second or third owner cars. My preference is for a Hyundai Eon or i10, but I am not getting a good deal. What should I ideally check while buying? Also, the car should be registered in 2016 or later. You can check out the pre-owned cars at Spinny. For your Rs 3 lakh budget, you should find models like a Renault Kwid and Maruti Suzuki Celerio that would meet your mileage and 'build year' criteria.You could also consider looking at older cars, as these are all checked and tested and come with a warranty. Moreover, while they may be older in age, you should be able to find a Hyundai Eon or i10 with lower mileage and a single-owner driven.Also, remember that when buying used, it all dependent on stock, which changes almost daily, so wait a while and keep checking for cars until you find the one that you are happy with.

    Asked by: Mohanraj I am buying my first car with a budget of Rs 10 to 12 lakh, which can be stretched to a maximum of Rs 13-14 lakh. My usage is around 40% city and 60% highway, with a daily running of about 100 km, mostly on highways. I also do a long drive of around 500 km once a month. We are a family of five, and I am looking for an SUV with safety, mileage, and maintenance as my top priorities. I have evaluated most compact SUVs and some midsize SUVs, but am unable to make a clear decision. Please suggest the best options along with exact variants. The Maruti Suzuki Victoris is a good option for you. The car is a good all-rounder that will satisfy you on the highway as well as the city streets with an easy and comfortable drive. The Victoris will also deliver well on your requirements of mileage, maintenance, and safety with a good equipment list, and it has also secured a 5-star crash rating from both GNCAP and BNCAP.The rear headroom of this Maruti Suzuki car is tight, though, and since you travel 5 aboard, we would recommend you personally have every member sit inside and check if this is okay for you.

    Asked by: Kalpesh I am looking for a car primarily for city driving, with a budget of Rs 10 to 12 lakh. Comfort and safety are my top priorities. I do not want an AMT gearbox, and I would prefer a model that offers a 360-degree camera for easier parking. The Tata Altroz would be a good choice. The car is comfortable with a very good and plush ride quality, even over harsh surfaces. Safety, too, is well addressed with good features and a 5-star crash test rating too.This Tata car also gets a 360-degree camera, and the petrol engine is paired to a dual clutch auto transmission (DCT), so it meets your other specific requirements too.
