I want to buy a new car as a first-time buyer with a budget under ₹10 lakh and plan to buy an automatic. My preference is the Honda Amaze CVT version, but I need help deciding if it is a good long-term car with a good running average.

The Honda Amaze is a good compact sedan, and the CVT is a good automatic gearbox. If you do push a bit further with the pace, then there is that typical rubber band effect where the revs rise before a corresponding increase in speed. 

However, on the whole, this is still better than the jerky shifts that AMTs have. In terms of long term usage, yes, the Amaze is a very reliable car and should serve you well. As for the mileage, the Amaze will not be as efficient as the Maruti Dzire, but it is still very good. 

In our standard test cycle, the CVT Amaze mileage is 9.94kpl in the city cycle and 16.62kpl on the highway loop.

Hi, I want to buy a Car/SUV in the range 10-13L. I prefer automatic. I was looking for Honda Amaze CVT, however I have concerns on the ground clearance and mileage. My need is daily city drive of ~15km and ~120km drive once in a month and occasional long drives. I am interested in automatic version of Mahindra SUV 3XO , elevate, Skoda etc.. But I don't want lagging automatics like AMTs. Can you please share the best pick and the real life mileage it offer.

My Honda City 2025 model which is heavier and with a bigger engine than Amaze gives 12 kmpl in Delhi traffic and 18+ on the highways, so Amaze should give better than that.

Honda amaze is good choice if you are running in city only...for rough roads and traffic it's not good..in terms of Milage and Parts availability... The ground clearance will be less if you are driving in some rular area OR in village OR offroad The best milage is only possible with maruti suzuki but safety is compromised.. You can choose best Safety cars from Tata and Mahindra only Maruti Suzuki givers better performance only

I need a 7-seater family car under a ₹16-17 lakh budget with safety and mileage for medium running. Ertiga, XL6, Clavis, Scorpio N, etc. I want to invest in only one car for long-term, 10+ year use. Please suggest.

The Kia Carens Clavis would be a good option for you. The insides and comfy, and the third row is spacious for two adults and has AC vents as well as type C ports for charging. With three rows up, there's also a fairly useable 216-litres of boot space, and there is some more space under the boot floor too.Kia cars have proven to be quite reliable, and this would serve you well since you plan to keep it for a long time. The car is well-equipped with a host of safety features that are standard, and since mileage is also your priority, we would suggest you opt for the diesel or the naturally aspirated (non-turbo) 1.5-litre petrol engine.

I need a car within ₹10 lakh on-road in Bangalore. 80-90% city usage and 10-20% highway. It should have all the necessary features, inside and outside. It should be comfortable for my parents, with low maintenance, tension-free and reliable ownership. Occasionally, I may use it for long trips as well. This is my first car, and I am a new driver, so an automatic is better.

We would recommend you take a look at the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. Being a Maruti car, it will meet your requirements of being low on maintenance and generally tension-free. The car is also slightly higher off the ground compared to sedans and hatchbacks at this price, and thus, this will offer an easy entry and exit for your parents. Rear seat head and legroom are also good, and for two adults, the rear is very spacious and a comfortable place to be in.The Fronx fits within the 'small car' definition as it measures less than 4-meters in length, thus it is very manageable in crowded city conditions. For your few highway trips, too, you will find the handling secure, and the car remains planted at regular highway speeds.

I am planning to buy a Brezza CNG Zxi. I have heard a facelift is expected around April-May 2026, which may come with an underbody CNG tank and a manual 6-speed gearbox replacing the existing 5-speed gearbox. Should I wait, or should I buy right now?

The update is expected around April-May 2026, and there are chances that the CNG version could get improvements such as a better-packaged CNG tank, like in the Maruti Victoris and possibly a 6-speed manual. Even if the exact changes are different from what is currently expected, the facelift will at least bring cosmetic updates and feature additions.Since the timeline is quite close, waiting a few weeks will give you clarity on what the updated model offers. If the changes are meaningful, you can buy the new version. If they are minor, you can still choose the current model, often with better discounts as dealers clear older stock.Given how close the facelift appears to be, it makes sense to wait a little before buying the Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG so you can decide with full information once the updated model is revealed.
