Hi, I currently drive my car for 6,500-7000 km a year. 85% of my drive is within the city (mainly home-to-office) and 15% on NH. Looking to buy an Automatic Petrol car (SUV) with a Rs 15-16 lakh budget. Interested in a car with good handling, which is comfortable for 6-foot-tall people to sit, and has annual maintenance not in excess of Rs 10,000. Please advise.

The Kia Syros is a good option given your requirements. It's not an SUV, but it has an incredibly roomy cabin, enough room for tall passengers in the seat, and has a lengthy equipment list as well.
Since most of your driving is within the city, its easy driving manners and compact dimensions will offer an advantage. Kia's maintenance is also reasonably priced, and it should fit within your budget.
