I don’t understand what to choose while looking for a new car that will be used in the city as well as on the highway (the home to office is 90 km both ways). I am confused between the Tata Nexon and the Curvv. I find the Curvv stylish, but it doesn’t come with a CNG model, which is the main difference causing the confusion. I’m also not sure why I don’t see the Curvv on the road as much as the Nexon.

As you’ve correctly pointed out, the Tata Nexon is your only real option if you want a CNG version, unlike the Tata Curvv. Considering your running and requirements, choosing a CNG variant makes a lot of sense. While the Curvv is stylish and stands out on the road, the main reason it hasn’t done as well as the Nexon is its pricing and positioning.

Since the Tata Curvv is over 4 metres long, it misses out on the tax benefits the Nexon enjoys, making it around Rs 3 to 4 lakh more expensive. Apart from the distinctive exterior and larger boot, it does not feel like a step up in terms of driving experience, rear seat comfort, cabin quality or practicality.

The Curvv also faces strong competition from cars like the Hyundai Creta, which offer better engine and gearbox options and feel more premium.

If you are looking for a CNG car in the Curvv’s price bracket, we strongly suggest considering the Maruti Suzuki Victoris CNG. It is well priced, the CNG tank is neatly placed under the boot floor, so boot space is less compromised, and it has also scored a 5 star rating in Bharat NCAP.

I am confused between the Punch CNG automatic and the Nexon CNG. Since the Punch is available with an automatic and almost all the same features as the Nexon, should I go for the automatic comfort with the Punch, or will the Nexon still be a better choice?

Go for the Tata Punch CNG AMT. Not only will you benefit from the low running costs of a CNG, but you also have the convenience of clutch pedal-free driving. Additionally, the Punch's NA engine will be more efficient than the Nexon's turbo unit.Although performance won't be as strong as the Tata Nexon, as a point A-to-B city commuter, the Punch CNG AMT is hard to beat. So, unless you need the extra space or performance, pick the Punch CNG AMT.

I am looking to buy a car which has an SUV touch, feels tough and is easy to drive in narrow or tier-II cities. Travelling is around 500-700km per month maximum, mostly within city driving. Budget around ₹12 to ₹13.5 lakh. It can be low on features as I am elderly, but needs a good feel, touch and driving comfort.

The Tata Nexon would be an ideal choice considering your requirements. It has a sense of toughness, especially over bad roads, is compact enough for narrow streets and comes with a modern cabin with the necessary creature comforts.This Tata car also offers a soft and comfy seat set at an ideal height, making it easy to get in and out of. Since your driving is fairly low, a petrol version would be the ideal choice. The Creative +S variant will fit in your budget and get you a good set of features too. If you want an automatic, there is also an AMT option that won't be as feature-loaded but will give you the convenience of an auto.

I am looking to buy my first car. I will mainly use it for travel between my hometown Kochi and Bangalore, while the rest of the driving will be frequent city usage. I was initially planning to buy the Kia Sonet diesel GT variant, but I am also very attracted to the Skoda Slavia, mainly for its driving quality. The Sonet would cost around ₹16 lakh, while the Slavia Sportline automatic comes to about ₹17 lakh. Which of these would be the more suitable option for my needs? I previously owned a Ford Figo 1.5 TDCi, which I absolutely loved, so I would prefer something with similar power and performance.

The Kia Sonet diesel AT is a great car - compact, frugal, smooth and efficient - and feels like a logical compact upgrade to your Figo TDI. However, the fact that you're even considering the drive quality on your long journey to your hometown means you should go for the Skoda Slavia instead. Yes, the fuel efficiency won't be as good as the diesel, and it is a larger vehicle, which you might feel during your use in the city. But other than that, the driving pleasure it offers is on a different level, and will remind you fondly of your Ford, which is also a great handler. Its punchy 1.0 TSI makes a strong 115hp and 178Nm of torque, which are comparable to what you get in the Figo, and comes with a slick 6-speed MT or smooth 6-speed AT. Whichever you choose, you'll get a car that's fun to drive, stable out on the highway and friendly to use around town.
