I have a budget of ₹11 lakh. Is the Honda Amaze VX CVT a good option in terms of ride quality and reliability?

The Honda Amaze is a strong option, thanks to its polished and premium CVT automatic, which makes it very easy and pleasant to drive. Although the Amaze is a newer model, it uses the same tried-and-tested engine and gearbox that Honda has offered for years, and this setup has proven to be dependable and reliable.

The ride quality is good as well, though this is where the Maruti Suzuki Dzire has a slight edge. The Dzire feels more pliant over bad roads, whereas sharper bumps are felt a bit more inside the Amaze’s cabin, especially by rear seat passengers. That said, it is not a deal breaker.

We would recommend taking a proper, long test drive with your family before making the final decision.

Hello Autocar, My budget is around ₹13 lakh, and I want to own an automatic car. My daily running will be less than 10 km because I travel to the office by bike. The car will be used mostly on weekends and for intercity travel. Please suggest a suitable car for me. How about purchasing the Honda City CVT in 2026? Should I go ahead now or wait for its facelift?

The Honda City CVT is a good car; however, even the base version would be over the Rs 13 lakh mark. You could thus consider the Honda Amaze CVT instead. The top-end version will come in under your budget, and you will get a well-equipped car with features like an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless phone connectivity. It also has in cabin air purifier, automatic climate control with rear AC vents and even an ADAS system, which can come in handy on your highway drives. The Amaze is also quite spacious inside, and the boot, too, is large and should accommodate any weekend luggage you may have.

We are a family of three planning to buy our first car with a budget of under Rs 10 lakh. Our priorities are safety, interior space and good after sales service in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Which car would you recommend?

We would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. The car is very spacious and will be more than enough for your family of three. Moreover, it will meet your other two requirements for safety and good after-sales service. Maruti has upped their safety game, and the new Dzire comes well equipped on the safety front and also scored a 5-star rating in both the BNCAP and GNCAP tests. And of course, being a Maruti car, you would have a wide dealer spread and a good service experience.

Please suggest the best car within a budget of Rs 20 lakh. My key requirements are fun-to-drive performance, ventilated seats, wireless charging, auto hold and hill assist, comfortable rear seats, a rear HD camera with dynamic guidelines, and a 360-degree camera.

Unfortunately, in your budget, no car ticks all those boxes without compromising in at least one area. The best option would be to increase your budget by a few lakhs and get the Hyundai Creta N Line N10, which offers all the features you are after, as well as a fun-to-drive package, including a potent 160hp turbo petrol engine and a well-set-up chassis. However, if you absolutely must stick to your budget of Rs 20 lakh, consider the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7 Luxury 1.2 T-GDi. You get a potent 131hp turbo petrol engine, a robust chassis that offers good ride comfort and handling, a comfy and spacious rear seat and a good feature set. All you miss out on are ventilated front seats.
