Which car would be a better choice for under 13 lakhs on-road in Hyderabad? I have shortlisted the Hyundai i20 Asta IVT and Honda Amaze Vx CVT. I'm looking for a vehicle with a 4-cylinder engine, a proper automatic transmission, and that offers a fun driving experience.

The Amaze has a stronger engine, and it is likely to be more fuel efficient than the i20 IVT. However, the i20 has comfier seats, a more upmarket interior and a longer equipment list. On the whole, the i20 feels more-rounded, hence it is the better option.

Got a suggestion for Gautham?

I am confused about whether to buy the Thar Roxx or the Tata Sierra. Right now, I have an Ertiga diesel VDI Smart from 2019 and a Venue diesel from 2021. By selling both, I am looking to buy one SUV, or should I wait?

While both cars are very attractive in their own right, they are for very different reasons. The Mahindra Thar Roxx is a tough, ladder-frame SUV with strong engines and exceptional off-road ability. It has great road presence and is well-equipped, too. However, all this comes with many compromises for everyday use, such as an unsettled ride, poor fuel economy and a high step-up for entry and exit to the vehicle.Overall, we would recommend the Tata Sierra instead. While it has its own share of flaws, such as some electronic gaffes and ergonomic issues, it is a much friendlier car to drive and live with. It's more comfortable, refined, efficient, manoeuvrable and spacious, and its interior feels more modern too.

I am looking for a car with a ₹23 to ₹24 lakh budget. I am satisfied with the Seltos, considering its reliability when compared to the Tata Sierra. However, I am confused between the DCT turbo and the IVT naturally aspirated petrol. My usage is 40% city and 60% highway. How reliable are DCTs in Kia and Hyundai cars in recent times?

Since most of your usage is on the highway, the Kia Seltos turbo-petrol DCT is a better choice than the naturally aspirated engine with the IVT. While the NA IVT combo is adequate in the city, you may find performance somewhat lacking compared to the turbo-petrol.In terms of reliability, the DCTs used in Hyundai and Kia cars have generally proven to be quite reliable. Some owners report that the clutch pack can heat up in heavy stop-and-go traffic, particularly on inclines, but this is largely avoidable with proper use. Put the transmission in Neutral when at a standstill and avoid leaving it in Park without applying the parking brake, especially on steep slopes.Given that most of your usage will be on the highway, it is unlikely that you will face any issues with the DCT.

Hello, I am totally confused between the Toyota Hyryder mild hybrid and the Kia Seltos. My yearly running would be around 10,000 km.

The Kia Seltos is a more wholesome package than the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder mild hybrid. The Kia is significantly larger and roomier than the Toyota. You get a comfier ride in the Seltos, and the overall choice of materials and quality also delivers a more upmarket experience.Also, the Kia's 1.5-litre NA petrol engine is smooth and feels a bit peppier than the Toyota's mild hybrid unit.
