I am looking for a car that fits 5 people comfortably with good under thigh support for all passengers and offers good ride comfort. My budget is under 15 lakhs. Rear seat should be easily accessible for elderly people and provide good support. Most of my driving is in city.

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza - for your need of a comfortable 5-seater with easy rear access, it fits best under your budget and daily city use. The Brezza’s seat height is just right, so elders do not have to bend or climb, and the rear doors open wide which makes getting in and out simple. The rear seat has a longer cushion than most cars at this price, so thigh support is good even on longer trips, and the backrest angle is relaxed. In the city it rides softly over speed breakers and broken roads, keeps small bumps away from the cabin, and the light controls make it easy to drive.

One thing to be aware of is that the engine is tuned more for smoothness than speed, so it will not feel very quick if you push hard, though that shouldn't be a problem given that most of your driving is in the city. We recommend opting for the ZXi+ AT, as the smooth torque converter automatic will make life easier around town.

If rear seat space and the easiest entry for elders are top priority, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga gives you the roomiest back seat and a very calm ride, but it is longer and a bit harder to park. When you test drive, have your elders get into the rear seat themselves and sit for 10-15 minutes, and drive over a few rough patches to feel the support and ride.

I am planning to buy a new SUV within a budget of ₹15 lakh, but I am unsure which option would be best. My usage will be around 70% city driving and 30% long-distance trips. Could you please suggest the most suitable SUV for my requirements?

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi AT for mostly city use with some long trips; it is a very good option. In daily traffic, the Brezza feels stress-free. The automatic is a torque convertor gearbox that is the smoothest type of autobox, so shifts are seamless at low speeds, so you do not feel jerks when you start and stop. The steering is light, the view out is clear, and the suspension delivers a very cushy low-speed ride that handles bad roads well, so speed breakers and potholes do not bother you much. For your 30 percent highway runs, it cruises steadily and feels safe at 90-100 kph, and the cabin stays calm enough for long hours. Maruti’s big service network and easy parts also mean simple ownership in almost any city, and resale is strong if you plan to upgrade later. One thing to be aware of: the engine is tuned for smoothness, not thrill, so fast overtakes need a firm press on the accelerator. Also, the cabin is practical but not the flashiest at this price.

We are a family of four, and due to budget constraints, I am planning to buy a second-hand car that is comfortable for my parents, who usually sit in the rear seat. Ease of ingress and egress, along with good rear seat space and comfort, are important priorities. My budget is ₹5-7 lakh. I have shortlisted a 2020 Maruti Brezza (petrol manual) and a 2022 Tata Nexon (petrol manual). Our usage is limited- mostly weekend city driving in Pune and 4-5 annual trips to our hometown in Konkan. Are these good choices, or would you suggest any better options within this budget?

Go for the 2020 Maruti Brezza petrol manual, ideally a VXI/ZXI in good condition - for your use, it will keep your parents most comfortable in the back. The Brezza’s seat height and wide door opening make getting in and out very easy, which matters for parents. The rear seat is broad, the backrest is nicely upright, and the big windows make the cabin feel airy, so they won’t feel cramped on Pune traffic runs or the Konkan drives. In the city, the Brezza feels smooth and easy, with a light clutch and gearshift, and Maruti’s service reach in Pune and along the highway is strong, which keeps ownership simple. Your Tata Nexon shortlist is not a bad pick for ride comfort and safety, but the petrol manual can feel a bit heavy and jerky at low speeds. The rear windows are smaller, so the Brezza will likely feel easier and more airy for older parents.One thing to be aware of with the Brezza is that it doesn’t feel very quick when the car is fully loaded on the highway, and the cabin is simpler than fancy. If you want an even easier entry and the most space, look for a well-kept Maruti Ertiga petrol within your budget. It rides softly and the second row is very comfortable, but it is bigger to park.When you check the cars out, in addition to an overall check, look out for a smooth clutch action and a full service record before you commit.

I am planning to buy an automatic car under ₹10 lakh. Currently, I own a 2012 Maruti Suzuki Swift petrol (ZXI) and a 2012 Honda Civic petrol. I am confused between the new Renault Duster and the Maruti Suzuki options in this segment. Could you suggest the most suitable car based on my requirements?

Unfortunately, the automatic variants of the Renault Duster and Maruti Suzuki Brezza/Victoris don't fall within your Rs 10 lakh budget. Since you're looking for an SUV-like automatic option, you could consider Maruti Fronx or Toyota Taisor 1.2 petrol-AMT. These are crossover-esque versions of the Maruti Baleno/Toyota Glanza hatchbacks, which are spacious, efficient and will be a good replacement for your Swift. If you're open to hatchbacks, the Hyundai i20 IVT is also a great option.
