I have been using a Hyundai Accent 2011 petrol manual. I am now planning to buy a mid-size SUV with an automatic transmission, with a budget of Rs 12-15 lakh. My weekly running is around 150 km. I am looking for better mileage and an automatic car. I am considering the Brezza ZXi AT. Is it the right choice?

The Maruti Suzuki Brezza is a safe choice and a car that you can’t really go wrong with. It’s not an exciting car to drive, but it meets your requirements of being efficient and trouble-free. The 6-speed automatic transmission is quite smooth, and you’ll find it much easier to drive than your old manual Xcent, thanks to light controls and an elevated driving position.
The ZXi variant of this Maruti car is well-equipped and has all the features you would typically want to use. So if you are leaning towards the Brezza, you should go ahead and buy it.

I am planning to buy an automatic car under Rs. 15 lakh as I am a first-time buyer. My usage will mostly be city driving, with occasional highway trips, and I expect to drive around 750 km per month on average. My shortlist includes the Skoda Kushaq Classic, Skoda Kylaq Signature, Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5, Hyundai Venue HX6 DCT, and Maruti Brezza ZXi AT.

Pick the Skoda Kylaq. For mostly city runs, it is the easiest to live with, thanks to its compact dimensions and smooth auto gearbox and for the few highway runs you will find it also cruises calmly and feels secure at typical highway speeds. Fuel efficiency is not class leading, expect 8-9kpl in the city and about 14kpl on highway runs but with your 750 km a month running this will not pinch you. As an option you can also consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, it too has a smooth gearbox and its city ride is nice and plush, but wait for just a month as an update is right around the corner.

Is it worth waiting for the new BREZZA, or are there better alternatives for Mumbai city use and a few random trips outside, say 2 to 3 in a year, up to Pune, Panchgani, etc

Go for the Brezza, but wait for the new model as it's just a few weeks away. The Brezza is easy to drive in traffic, rides well over broken roads and speed breakers, and the automatic is smooth and stress-free. The cabin is airy, the visibility is good, and Maruti service reach in the city makes ownership simple. For the odd Pune or Panchgani run, it feels stable enough if driven in a relaxed manner. A point to consider if you often go up the ghats with four people and luggage: the 1.5 petrol is smooth but not very strong, so overtakes need a little planning.If that bothers you, the Skoda Kylaq with the automatic is the better alternative. It feels quicker in the hills and in gaps, and the gearbox responds a bit faster, which helps both on the ghats and in stop-go Mumbai traffic. You will trade a slightly firmer ride and a lower city mileage for that extra shove.For mostly city use, though, buying the Brezza is the sensible call.

I am planning to buy the MG Hector Smart Pro Manual. However, I am concerned because the MG Hector's monthly sales has been declining. Please advise me on choosing between the Hyundai Creta and the MG Hector.

Go for the MG Hector Smart Pro manual. The Hector remains a strong product with a spacious cabin, comfortable ride and a genuinely premium feel for the money. The recent sales decline is more a reflection of increased competition and the age of the product rather than any fundamental issue with the car itself. MG has also been consistent with updates and feature additions, which helps keep the Hector relevant.The Hyundai Creta is the more modern product with a wider engine line-up and a stronger brand pull, but it is also significantly more expensive for a similarly equipped variant. The Hector offers better value for money, especially in the mid-spec variants, and remains a very comfortable and practical family SUV.The only real drawback with the Hector is that it is a larger car and not as easy to manoeuvre in tight city conditions as the Creta. If your usage is predominantly urban and parking is a concern, the Creta is the better choice. Otherwise, the Hector remains a solid buy and the sales numbers should not be a deterrent.

Hi, I own a Wagon R 1.0 liter engine. I bought it in November 2025. I had done 2 free services of it. My car gives me about 13-15 kmpl in city driving when the AC is on. I drive at a speed of about 60 km in the city. Is this average ok? If not, then what should I do? My daily ride is about 20 km.

A city fuel efficiency of 13-15kpl with the air conditioning on is slightly on the lower side for a Wagon R 1.0, but it isn't necessarily a cause for concern, especially if you're driving in Lucknow's city traffic with frequent stops and the AC running throughout your journey.Your 20km daily commute should be enough for the engine to reach its normal operating temperature, but fuel efficiency can still vary depending on traffic conditions, idling time and driving style. We'd recommend checking that your tyre pressures are maintained at the manufacturer's recommended levels, avoiding hard acceleration and excessive idling, and using good-quality fuel from reputed fuel stations.

I am planning to buy a family car. Should I choose the Toyota HyCross or the Hyundai Alcazar? Please suggest.

Verified

Go for the Toyota Innova HyCross. For a family, it simply works better as the cabin is roomier, the third row is actually usable for adults, the ride is smoother, and the hybrid saves a lot of fuel in city traffic where most family cars spend their time. Long trips feel easier too, and Toyota’s hassle-free ownership and resale help over years.Pick the Hyundai Alcazar only if you’re on a tighter budget or you want a slightly smaller, easier-to-park 3-row. It’s great for four or five with the third row used occasionally, and the diesel suits heavy highway use. But the last row and boot are tighter, and it doesn’t feel as plush or relaxed on bad roads.One honest trade-off with the Innova HyCross is the higher price and possible waiting period, and the boot with all three rows up isn’t huge. If that stretch and wait are okay, it’s the better family car overall.

I am planning to purchase a new SUV. I have shortlisted two vehicles. Toyota Hyryder non-hybrid top model (manual) and Kia Seltos manual top model. Which one should I prefer? My daily running is very less around 10-15 kms.

Verified

With a daily running of just 10-15km, there's little benefit in stretching to a strong hybrid, and since you've shortlisted the non-hybrid Hyryder, the Seltos is the more complete package. It offers a more premium cabin, better performance from its naturally aspirated petrol engine, a stronger feature list and an overall more polished driving experience.The Toyota Hyryder still has its strengths. Toyota's reputation for reliability and aftersales support is second to none, and if long-term peace of mind is your top priority, it remains a very sensible choice. However, the non-hybrid petrol doesn't offer a significant efficiency advantage over the Seltos, so you miss out on the biggest reason to buy a Hyryder in the first place.Given your low running, we'd simply choose the SUV that you enjoy driving and living with every day. The Seltos also feels a little more modern inside and delivers a better overall ownership experience without asking you to compromise on reliability.
