The Citroen Aircross X is a comfortable car which will not tire you after a 60km highway drive every day. The ride quality is exceptional, and the punchy 1.2 turbo petrol makes overtaking quite easy. We assume you will be opting for the automatic variant, which is quite smooth and responsive.Our only concern is the Citroen’s dealer network, which is quite poor, so you will have to be careful of this. See how responsive and proactive your dealer is. If the dealer doesn’t get back to you in a timely way and needs constant follow ups to close the deal, walk away. A dealer who is not bothered to sell you a car will be less inclined to service it.

The Mahindra XUV700 is a good option to consider. It is spacious, has a large boot, and is available with a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol and a 2.2-litre diesel engine.The petrol engine is smooth and refined, and while it is not as punchy as the diesel, it is quite tractable and will be more than adequate for your needs. The diesel engine, on the other hand, is quite punchy and will be better suited for highway drives.Both engines are available with a choice of a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox. The automatic is quite smooth and responsive, and it will make your daily commute quite hassle-free.The XUV700 is also quite feature-loaded, and it is available with a sunroof, so you can opt for that variant. The only downside of this Mahindra car is that it is not as fuel-efficient as its rivals, and you can expect a mileage of around 8-10kmpl in the city and 12-14kmpl on the highway.Do wait until next month, though, as a new version called the XUV 7XO will be launching.

If the Honda City is in good condition and you are happy with it, there is no need to sell it. The car is already 12.5 years old and has run 67,000 km, so it is unlikely to fetch you a good price. If you are looking to sell it, you can consider the brand value, but it is unlikely to make a big difference to the price you get.

The best option for you is the Honda Amaze, the ZX CVT variant. It's got a nice powertrain that comprises a 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine and a CVT gearbox. Performance is pleasant, and you'll like the performance on offer. Cabin space is also good for this size of car. The Amaze also packs in auto climate control and a rear defogger, and there is confidence in knowing it has also been rated 5 stars by Bharat NCAP. Alternatively, you could consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, the VXi AT variant. While it is slightly out of your budget, it's a sensible pick. It's got a smooth 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine and a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The cabin is roomy and practical, while the feature set includes a rear defogger and auto climate control.
