I'm planning to buy an SUV for under Rs 25 lakhs for my wife - it has to be automatic and have a good music system. What are my options?

Autocar India says: The new Kia Seltos should rank at the top on your list. In its most recent avatar, Kia has freshened its styling; its interior design looks even more appealing now and it packs new premium, feel-good features like the digital dials and a panoramic sunroof. In addition, it gets Bose speakers which should keep most owners happy with its sound quality. You could opt for the turbo-petrol with the dual-clutch transmission which isn't merely smooth and refined, it packs in exciting performance too; else if your usage is heavy, you could opt for the diesel-automatic.
If you're open to going electric, you could get the upcoming refreshed Tata Nexon EV, which is also an excellent option. The Mahindra XUV700 also fits into your budget however, it is larger in size, and could be a bit ponderous to drive if your wife's usage is primarily within city confines.
