Go for the Hyundai i20 Sportz IVT automatic for your 12-13 lakh budget and mostly city driving, it is the easiest and most stress-free choice right now. The IVT is Hyundai-speak for a CVT automatic gearbox, and it's a smooth and seamless unit. The car is compact, the steering is light, and visibility is good, which makes driving in tight lanes and parking simple. It rides well over speed breakers and broken patches, and Hyundai’s big service network means ownership is easy in most cities.One thing to be aware of: if you often go with five adults, it will feel tight as the back seat is best for two.If you prefer a taller car with a higher seating position, more ground clearance and a punchier engine, look at the Nissan Magnite Turbo CVT. If you have access to home charging and mostly go on short city trips, the Tata Punch EV is also a great option with low running costs.

No other car in that price bracket has a full-sized panoramic glass roof and delivers the same lounge-like feeling as the MG Windsor EV does. If you're open to EVs, this is your best bet. The next best option is the Kia Syros, which has the largest panoramic sunroof in its segment. Additionally, due to its superb packaging, space in this sub-4-meter SUV is unmatched, and if you like the way it looks, it is certainly worthy of your consideration.

While the Hyundai Venue HX10 is tempting for its features and is an excellent car all around, its 1.0 T-GDi engine and 7-Speed DCT are not well suited to stop-and-go traffic, where you will encounter a lot of judder, hesitance and off-boost lag. You may have had a similar issue with your Altroz DCT that might have led to said problems. As such we would recommend a different kind of automatic for your specific application. Consider the Kia Seltos HTX (or if you can stretch your budget slightly, the GTX) but crucially with the 1.5 Petrol CVT powertrain. You'll get most, if not all, of the features you did in the Venue HX10, in a larger, more comfortable SUV. The powertrain will be a lot smoother than the 1.0 turbo DCT in the Venue and should likely give you less trouble in the long run too. It could even prove more fuel efficient than the heavily boosted Venue Turbo as well. Another alternative is the Honda Elevate CVT, which could prove a bit better value for money. But, as it's a slightly older car, you will sacrifice some of the new-age features and the wow factor you'll get in the Kia.
