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.

Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to replace my 2014 Maruti Celerio VXI AMT (TN registration) with a new car. My usage will be mostly city driving in Kochi, with occasional trips to Coimbatore. I am looking for a fuel-efficient petrol or EV option within a budget of around ₹12 lakh. My key requirements are: Automatic transmission Low maintenance cost Good connected car features and infotainment system Comfortable for city driving Could you please suggest the most suitable car options for my needs?

Pick the Tata Punch EV with the 40 kWh battery as your first choice. For your usage, mostly city driving in Kochi with occasional Coimbatore trips, it fits almost perfectly.The biggest advantage is how effortless and cost-effective it is to run in the city. It is smooth, silent and requires very little maintenance compared to petrol cars, which suits your usage pattern. With the larger 40 kWh battery, it offers a real-world range that is more than enough for your daily use and can comfortably handle the Kochi to Coimbatore run with planning, without range anxiety.It also comes with modern connected features and a good infotainment setup, so you are covered on the tech side as well, which you specifically wanted.If you are not fully convinced about going electric, then as a petrol alternative, you can look at the Skoda Kylaq automatic in the Signature variant. It offers a strong engine, a more engaging drive and a proper automatic experience, making it a good fallback if charging setup is a concern.

I have been using a Maruti Wagon R AMT for the past 8 years and am now planning to upgrade. My monthly driving is around 1,000 km, with a mix of 50% city and 50% highway usage, along with three long trips annually of around 1,000 km each. My budget is around ₹12 lakh (on-road).

Consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza as your first choice. It is the most sensible upgrade from your Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, giving you better comfort, highway stability and a higher seating position without increasing ownership stress.With your 1000 km monthly running and a 50:50 city highway mix, you need a car that is easy in traffic but also feels stable and relaxed on highways. The Brezza does this well. It is smooth to drive, comfortable over long distances and simple to live with, which makes it a big step up from your current car.If you want something more fun to drive, the Mahindra XUV 3XO or Skoda Kylaq are good alternatives. They feel quicker and more engaging, especially on highways, but are not as easy-going in everyday ownership.

Hi, I am looking to buy my first car with a budget of ₹10 lakh. I have taken test drives of the Skoda Kylaq, Tata Punch, and Honda Amaze. I understand that all these cars are from different segments. I did not like the driving experience of the Tata Punch. Based on your consideration, which car should I choose between the Honda Amaze VX and the Skoda Kylaq?

Go for the Skoda Kylaq. It feels like a bigger, more future-proof upgrade as your first car, with a stronger engine, more engaging driving experience and a solid, confidence-inspiring feel on both city roads and highways. The Kylaq stands out because it gives you that SUV stance along with a more enjoyable drive, which you will appreciate as your driving experience grows over time. This Skoda car feels more modern and substantial overall, making it a better long-term choice.The Honda Amaze VX is the easier and more straightforward option. It is smooth, comfortable and very easy to drive in the city, but it is more focused on practicality than excitement.
