With a budget of Rs 15 lakh, I have to choose between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Grand Vitara Delta, both with the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. Please suggest which one would be better for me. My running is nearly 20km per day, with rare outstation trips.

•16m

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. With your running of just 20km a day and rare outstation trips, the Brezza is the more sensible choice. It uses the same 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine as the Grand Vitara, so performance and efficiency are broadly similar, and in fact the lighter Brezza has a slight edge. The Brezza is also more compact and easier to manoeuvre in the city, which suits your usage pattern perfectly. It is also a well-rounded car with a comfortable ride, good reliability and low running costs.

The Grand Vitara Delta is a larger car, but at this budget you are getting a lower variant with fewer features, and the extra size is not really justified given your usage. The Brezza gives you a more complete package for the money and will be easier to live with day-to-day.

I had Brezza a few years back. It's a good car.

I need help choosing between the Victoris LXI MT and Brezza ZXI MT (1.5-litre petrol). I would appreciate some suggestions. We had decided to get the Brezza ZXI MT with the 1.5-litre petrol engine. The dealer quoted an on-road price of Rs. 13,32,491. When we asked for a discount, they offered us the Victoris LXI MT instead. The price quoted for the Victoris after the discount is Rs. 13,00,000 on-road, along with a free Rs. 6,000 reverse parking camera and Rs. 40,000 worth of diamond-cut alloy wheels. Now I am a bit confused about which one to get. The car is for my dad, who drives around 50 km daily. We currently have a 2014 Hyundai Grand i10.

The Victoris and Brezza are based on the same platform and share several bits, including their 1.5 petrol powertrain. The Brezza is sub-4-meters in length, whereas the Victoris is a bit longer. The Victoris has a more appealing two-tone interior, and even in LXI guise, it covers the basics well. If you're getting the Victoris at a lower price than the Brezza, it is certainly something that you must seriously consider.Alternatively, you could consider the Brezza turbo version, which is more affordable than the 1.5 version, with more performance while the controls are still light and easy. The ZXI turbo will increase the price gap with the Victoris and is better value. However, if the turbo isn't something that you want, then the Victoris is the one to go for.

I am first time car buyer planning to buy an SUV considering family needs. I will be driving mostly in Bangalore city traffic and plan to drive longer distances every few months, up to 500 kms including ghat roads. I would like to have good service support, automatic option (not decided), front visibility for city traffic. My budget is upto 12L. Can you suggest suitable options?

•15h

For your requirements, the Mahindra XUV 3XO is the best fit. It offers a strong balance of city-friendly dimensions, good front visibility and a comfortable ride, which is important for Bangalore traffic. This Mahindra car is also one of the most spacious compact SUVs in the segment, making it a genuinely comfortable family car. It handles highway runs and ghat sections well, with a stable and confident feel. Mahindra’s service network is strong, and the car is well-priced within your budget. The automatic option is a proper torque converter, which is smooth and reliable in city conditions.The Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5-litre is a good alternative, offering lower running costs and better efficiency. Its new turbo petrol will offer better highway performance, but it only comes with a manual. It is not as spacious as the 3XO, but it is comfortable, easy to drive and backed by Maruti’s extensive service network.Overall, the 3XO is the more complete package for your needs. It combines space, comfort, city usability and highway capability better than most rivals in this price range.

Hi, I am planning to buy a sub compact SUV. I have a family of 5 adults and my usage is majorly in the city with occasional driving on the highway. I prefer manual gearbox. Please suggest.

•15h

For a family of five adults with predominantly city use and occasional highway runs, the Mahindra XUV 3XO is a solid choice. It is one of the widest cars in the segment, which makes it genuinely usable as a five-seater, and the rear seat is comfortable enough for three adults on city journeys. The 1.2 turbo petrol engine is punchy and well suited to both city driving and highway overtakes, while the manual gearbox is smooth and easy to use. The 3XO also offers excellent value for money, a strong safety package and a good feature set. The only real compromise is the boot, which is on the smaller side, but for your usage pattern that is a reasonable trade-off. The Maruti Suzuki Brezza is a good alternative, but the 3XO is the better all-round package for a family of five.

I am planning to buy a naturally aspirated petrol automatic car and have shortlisted the Toyota Hyryder mild hybrid and Honda Elevate. Which one would be the better choice?

•4d

Go for the Honda Elevate CVT. Both the Elevate and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder mild hybrid use naturally aspirated petrol engines, but the Elevate’s 1.5-litre engine is more refined, and the CVT gearbox is silky smooth, making it a more relaxed car to drive in everyday conditions. The Elevate also benefits from Honda’s strong reputation for long-term reliability and low maintenance costs, which is exactly what you want from a naturally aspirated petrol automatic. The Hyryder is still a good car, but the Elevate is the more complete package for this brief.

I am new to driving and am looking for a sub-4-metre petrol SUV with a torque converter automatic gearbox. My budget is around Rs 12-13 lakh on-road. I have shortlisted two options: the Skoda Kylaq Signature automatic and the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro automatic. We are a family of five. My current usage is mostly within the city, but based on my future work requirements, it could shift to an 80:20 mix of city and highway driving.

•6d

Go for the Skoda Kylaq Signature AT. For a new driver with predominantly city use, its 1.0 TSI with a 6-speed torque-converter automatic is smooth and easy to drive, while the compact dimensions make it relatively easy to manage in traffic. It also has a more mature, planted feel on the highway.The Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT is the better choice if rear-seat space is the priority. Its cabin is wider and more accommodating for a family of five, and its 1.2 turbo-petrol makes 200Nm, giving it stronger low-end and mid-range performance than the Kylaq.However, the 3XO's boot is also one of its compromises, while the Kylaq offers a better balance of driving dynamics, boot space and highway manners. With your usage potentially becoming 80:20 city/highway, the Kylaq's combination works particularly well.

Which car should I buy among Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Petrol base or Kia Seltos petrol base? And also tell me if anyone has faced power issue or pickup issue while overtaking as I want the car for long term.

•6d

Between the two, the Seltos is the better choice, especially if you are looking at the base variant. It feels more premium, is the newer product and offers a more complete package even in its lower variants.The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol makes 115hp and 144Nm. It isn't a particularly powerful engine, but it is smooth and refined and is perfectly adequate for normal city driving.For overtaking, it won't have the punch of the Seltos turbo, but it isn't underpowered either. With a full load and during quick highway overtakes, you may need to plan ahead and use higher revs. The Grand Vitara's 1.5 petrol is also a smooth, simple powertrain, but its performance is more relaxed and the base variant is quite sparsely equipped.
