Hi - I’m planning to buy my first car for a family of four. It must have low maintenance and operating costs. I frequently travel long distances (up to 250 km at a stretch) and expect ~3,000 km/month. My budget is around ₹10 lakh. Which car should I choose?

Given your requirements, the Tata Altroz CNG would be a good choice. The Pure S variant is decently equipped with essentials like cruise control, sunroof and a touchscreen infotainment system, and the dual-cylinder tech allows for a decent boot space too. Tata Altroz has good looks, a practical cabin and good highway manners as well. The only challenge will be the CNG queues at filling stations.
