Hi, I am looking to buy my first car, which would be automatic. My budget is around ₹10.5 lakh. It will be a family car with occasional trips later on. I have test-driven many cars and have shortlisted three: 1. Kylaq Signature AT 2. i20 Sportz IVT 3. Kiger Facelift Techno Turbo CVT I want to own the Kylaq, but I am confused between the i20 and the Kiger. Is it wise to spend an extra ₹1 lakh on the Kylaq, considering Skoda has a service interval of every 15,000 km? Please advise.

If you like the Skoda Kylaq Signature AT and don't mind stretching your budget, go for it. Kylaq price is ₹11.80 Lakh in Hyderabad (on-road). It is the nicest driving car among the three options listed, with the strongest performance.

I am planning to buy a new AMT car with a total budget of ₹10 lakh, including insurance and road tax. My driving will be a mix of city and highway use. I travel up to 1,000km. Please suggest a suitable option.

We recommend the Hyundai Exter, a very well-rounded compact car with a refined engine, good features, and the AMT is the smoothest in the segment. The ride and handling are also excellent, and being a crossover, it has good ground clearance too to make easy work of bad roads, both on the highway and in the city. The Hyundai Exter SX variant will fit your budget.

Hi, I’m confused between the Honda Elevate and the Honda City. My basic requirements are safety, comfort and reliability, especially on highways. I have heard that the Elevate has high NVH levels, while the City’s ground clearance and narrow tyres could be problematic. I don’t plan to do any off-roading but want to drive comfortably on ghats and long distances. I am very confused and would appreciate any advice.

Yes, NVH levels in the Honda Elevate are quite high, and thus, if it's only the ghats and long drives that you are considering, the Honda City will do just fine. Moreover, the City will be more fuel efficient than the Elevate, even more so if you get the hybrid version, thus you will save on fuel bills during your long-distance travels. The only downside of the City is that its ground clearance is low, which can be a problem on bad roads. However, if you are not going to go off-roading and the roads in your area are generally in good condition, this should not be a deal-breaker.

I am 5 ft 11 in tall and currently own a 2018 Dominar 400. I plan to upgrade to a Bear 650 for my daily commute of about 60 km each way to an office on the Outer Ring Road. I am attracted to the Bear 650’s performance but am concerned about maintenance costs. Please advise whether the Bear 650 is the best choice, and suggest other 650 cc bikes with lower maintenance.

We would advise you to look at other options than the Royal Enfield Bear 650 because we found the rear suspension to be very stiff in our time with it. This means that on less-than-perfect city roads, your back will bear the brunt of the bumps, which won't be ideal given your long daily commute.Instead, we would recommend you look at the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 because it has much better suspension comfort and will have exciting performance while also fitting in your price range. If your heart is set on a 650cc bike, then the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is the best bet for city use with its supple suspension, neutral ergonomics and creamy smooth engine. Take a test ride and decide before you buy.

My parents have used a Zen Estilo for the past 13 years and now want to upgrade. The car is used mostly for city driving with occasional long trips. Their budget is around ₹10 lakh. Which car would be most suitable for them?

The Hyundai Venue is a good option for your parents. It is a spacious and comfortable compact SUV that is easy to drive in the city, and its tall stance will make ingress/egress quite easy.The 1.2-litre petrol engine is smooth and refined, and while it isn't the most powerful, it feels adequate, keeping the Venue's size in mind. Its cabin is well-built, and it is well-equipped too.
