My 2025 Verna naturally aspirated automatic is providing only 7- 9 km/l mileage in the city with the AC switched on. Is this the same experience for other owners, or is there something wrong with my car? The car has run only 3.5k km so far.

That fuel efficiency figure does sound a little on the lower side for the Hyundai Verna naturally aspirated petrol automatic, but it is not necessarily abnormal depending on your driving conditions. In dense city traffic with the AC running, frequent stop-start driving and short trips, it is not uncommon for fuel efficiency to drop into the 7-9 km/l range. The Hyundai Verna Mileage is up to 13.5kpl in real-world driving, while the DCT claims 20.6kpl as per ARAI. The Verna’s naturally aspirated petrol engine is smooth and refined, but it is not the most fuel-efficient unit in heavy urban conditions, especially when paired with an automatic gearbox.

At 3,500 km, the engine is still relatively new and may improve slightly as it loosens up, but do not expect a dramatic change. If your driving is predominantly bumper-to-bumper city traffic with the AC on, this figure is within the expected range. If you start seeing figures below 7 km/l consistently, or if this Hyundai car feels sluggish or rough, it would be worth having the car checked by the service centre. Otherwise, this is largely a reflection of the driving conditions rather than a problem with the car.

I have Ciaz NA AT petrol 2019 model. When using HP or IOC or BP petrol E20 it is giving 7-8 kmpl in city traffic with AC, but when switched to Shell with additives it is giving 10-11 kmpl with AC. Shell costs 135 per liter. Engine also feels smooth now.

@daya2104 bhai aap car scrap kara do aisa he ho raha to

@daya2104 That's pretty bad. NA or Turbo? I have never seen my Turbo DCT (Feb 2024) go below 8 kmpl in heavy Bengaluru traffic, with the AC on full-time. Night trips on Hosur Road (11 PM and after) return mileage of 14-15 kmpl.

I live in Hyderabad and am looking for a 5-seater car with a manual transmission and a minimum boot space of 470 litres. I prefer a manual because I feel automatic transmissions are more complex and could be expensive to repair in the future. Another, slightly unusual requirement is that I want a car with a reliable engine and transmission that can last 12-13 years or more, provided it receives timely engine oil changes and regular maintenance. Can anyone suggest some good manual cars with an on-road price below Rs. 20 lakh?

•16h

Keeping your requirements in mind, you can consider a Hyundai Verna, which is a spacious sedan with a massive 528-litre boot. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is one of the most reliable and proven units in the segment, and Hyundai’s manual gearboxes are known for their smoothness and durability. The Verna is a simple, well-engineered car without unnecessary complexity, which is exactly what you want for a 12-13 year ownership period. The car is also comfortable, easy to drive and has a good service network in Hyderabad.Alternatively, a Honda City is another sensible choice.

Got my Fronx's first scratch today, someone in a parking lot, no note left behind. First scratch always stings a bit more than it probably should.

I am planning to upgrade the AC system in my 2024 Volkswagen Taigun to the new variable-geometry unit to address the cooling issue. Will the new AC system be compatible with the older Taigun model?

•1d

The new variable geometry AC unit introduced on the Volkswagen Taigun is not a simple plug-and-play upgrade for your 2024 model. The system is integrated with the car's HVAC controls, sensors and software calibration, so retrofitting it into an older car is not straightforward. Volkswagen has not offered this as an official retrofit, and attempting to do so would likely require significant changes to the HVAC system, wiring and control modules, which could be expensive and may not work as intended.

I have a Tata Nexon Creative AMT that is only a year old, but I have already had to replace the spark plugs four times and the ignition coil once. I am still facing engine misfires and vibrations inside the car. I am honestly fed up with Tata's service, as they have been unable to resolve the issue. I am therefore planning to sell the Nexon and buy a Kia Seltos with a manual transmission this time. My priority was safety earlier, and it remains my top priority. However, I now also want peace of mind and a hassle-free ownership experience. Would selling the Nexon and switching to the Seltos be a good decision?

•1d

Yes, it is a good decisionYes, it is a good decision to sell the Tata Nexon and move to the Seltos manual. The Nexon is generally a safe and well-engineered car, but if you are facing repeated engine issues and the service centre is unable to resolve them, it is understandable to lose confidence in the ownership experience. The Kia Seltos is a very well-rounded SUV with a strong safety package, a more refined ownership experience and a good service network. The manual transmission is also a good choice if you want to avoid any potential automatic gearbox-related issues. Overall, if peace of mind and a hassle-free ownership experience are your top priorities, the Seltos is a sensible upgrade.

I currently drive a Grand i10 Manual petrol and am now planning to buy a new compact SUV that is comfortable, fuel efficient and has low maintenance. My usage is 35km of daily office commute in Delhi-NCR traffic. Please advice which option is best fit amongst Hyundai Venue HX 6T, SONET HTK+O and XUV 3XO.

•4d

Go for the Hyundai Venue. With your daily 35km commute in Delhi NCR traffic, comfort and low maintenance are key, and the Venue delivers on both. The 1.2 NA petrol is smooth, refined and easy to drive in stop-start conditions, while Hyundai’s service network and ownership experience are among the best in the segment. The HX6T variant also gives you a good balance of features without pushing the budget too far.The Sonet HTK+O is mechanically very similar, but the Venue is a newer model and offers a more spacious cabin. The XUV 3XO is also a good option, but its turbo petrol engine won't be as efficient as the Hyundai’s.Overall, the Venue is the most sensible upgrade from your Grand i10 for daily city use.

I am planning to buy a sub-compact SUV. My budget is Rs. 13-14 lakh, and my priorities are a smooth automatic transmission and good mileage. I am considering the Brezza ZXi AT, Sonet HXT DCT, and Venue HX6 DCT. I am very confused because the Brezza’s torque-converter automatic offers good fuel efficiency but lacks some features, while the Sonet and Venue offer all the features I need. However, I am concerned that the DCT may be less fuel-efficient and could involve higher maintenance costs. My daily commute is around 30 km, mostly in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic. Please suggest which one would be the best choice for my requirements.

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXI AT. Your priorities are a smooth automatic, good fuel efficiency and a daily 30km commute in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic. The Brezza’s 6-speed torque converter automatic is the best fit for this usage. It is smooth, reliable and well suited to stop-start conditions, and the naturally aspirated petrol engine is efficient and easy to live with. Maruti’s service reach and low maintenance costs add to the ownership peace of mind.The Sonet and Venue DCTs are good cars, but the DCT gearbox is not ideal for heavy traffic. It can feel jerky at low speeds.Alternatively, if you can arrange for home charging, the Tata Punch EV is an excellent option.
