Get a Maruti Suzuki Wagon R AMT. Its tall-boy design makes getting in and out easy; furthermore, visibility all around is good, getting a judgment of all the corners of the car is a breeze thanks to its boxy body, and its light steering makes it very easy to drive and maneuver. But if you want to upgrade within the Hyundai family, consider the Hyundai Exter AMT for its smoothness and tall stance. Can’t decide which car to buy?

Ask experts Latest questions Asked by: Anmol Sharma I currently own a Hyundai Grand i10 Asta 2016 model and am planning to change my car. I am inclined towards Hyundai and thinking of Exter as an option. I find the Exter a value for money car. My budget is Rs. 10 lakhs (on road). Should I consider buying Exter, or should I look for other alternatives within the 10 lakh range? Since you want to purchase a Hyundai car, why not consider the new Venue, the 1.2 Petrol HX4 variant, which would be around Rs 9.88 lakh (on-road in Shimla). It is an all-new car that's slightly larger than the Exter, resulting in better cabin and boot space. Interior quality also feels a step up, and in terms of road presence, too, the Venue has an edge over the Exter.Both Exter and Venue share the 1.2 petrol engine and 5-speed manual gearbox, similar to the one you have been using in your existing Grand i10 - so it is smooth to drive, and the controls are very light. Asked by: NESARKIRAN BAGAD I own a 2020 Renault Triber, which is currently in good condition and has been driven for 48,000 kilometres. I would like your advice on the optimal time to sell this vehicle. Additionally, when considering a replacement, should I continue with the Renault Triber as a 7-seater option, or would you recommend a different model? I am asking because I have the perception that it may be prudent to use a car for no more than five years before exchanging it for a new one. Please guide There are multiple schools of thought - some people may want to keep the car for the longest time possible, some might want to replace it every few years, and some might want to replace it every year. Hence, there is no right or wrong time to sell your vehicle.If there is a car you're lusting after, or if minor niggling issues keep cropping up with your Renault Triber, then it certainly makes sense to replace it immediately. However, if the car is serving you well without any issues, you may hold on to it for a few more years. Interestingly, the resale value of a vehicle falls the steepest in the first two years, after which its residual value will reduce gradually.So the difference in resale value at the end of five years and seven/eight years won't be drastic if the car is looked after well. We'd advise you to sell it if you are ready to upgrade to maybe a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga/XL6 or Kia Carens Clavis. Asked by: Siva Kumar I am being offered a Tata Curvv EV Empowered Plus A 55 (Electric) variant at a discount of around ₹4 lakh after the consumer discount, Tata EV loyalty benefit and insurance discount. The on-road price comes to ₹19 lakh. The car also includes the November 2025 updates such as rear window shades, passive rear ventilated seats and dual-zone auto climate control. Is the Curvv EV worth it at this price, or should I go for the Harrier EV? I also own a Punch EV, but it is not sufficient for highway trips. Sure, the discounted price makes the Tata Curvv EV an attractive proposition; however, the Harrier EV is a far superior car overall - it has a larger battery, its motor makes more power, the cabin is far more spacious, and even in terms of road presence, it does a much better job.Yes, on account of its size and weight, its range might not be significantly more (despite the larger battery) than a Curvv EV, but between the two, it is the Tata Harrier EV that gets our vote.
