I own a 2019 Baleno top model, which is in perfect condition. Recently, I got an offer from a Hyundai dealer for a last-year manufactured i20 Magna model at ₹7 lakh on-road. I am confused about whether I should buy the i20 or continue with the Baleno.

If the Maruti Suzuki Baleno is in good condition and serving you well, there's no real need to switch to the Hyundai i20. The i20 Magna is a low-spec variant and misses out on many features that are part of the package on your Baleno Alpha trim model. Among the features on the Baleno Alpha that are not on the i20 Magna are auto climate control, keyless entry, touchscreen infotainment system, etc.

In essence, the switch will feel like a downgrade and is not recommended.

I am confused about choosing between the Kia Sonet and the Hyundai Verna. Please suggest which car/SUV and model I should choose. My driving is mostly in the city, around 900-1,000 km per month. My budget is ₹10-12 lakh. A.K. Dinodia Patiala.

The choice between the Kia Sonet and the Hyundai Verna depends more on your specific requirements and the conditions in which you drive, rather than your total monthly mileage.The Kia Sonet, with its SUV body style, offers a higher seating position, which improves visibility. Entry and exit are also easier compared to the Verna, which is a lower sedan and requires you to step down into the cabin. If you have elderly occupants, they will find the Sonet easier to get in and out of.Road conditions in your area also play a role. If there are many broken roads, potholes, or waterlogging during the rains, the Sonet will be better suited due to its higher ground clearance. Its smaller size also makes it easier to manage in heavy traffic. Where the Hyundai Verna would be better is with more interior space, as well as a bigger boot.

Hello Autocar team, I want to buy an EV in the range of ₹20 lakh with a decent range. I have test driven the VF6, Tata Nexon, and MG Windsor Pro. I am confused between the Windsor Pro and the VF6 Wind, as the VF6 is more sturdy and has a crumple zone, but the Windsor is more spacious. Please suggest.

All cars have crumple zones as these are needed to absorb the impact forces and keep the occupant area intact, and thus the passengers safe. It's how well they work and absorb the energy that differentiates them and helps make one car safer than the other in a crash.The MG Windsor has not been crash tested at Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP, so it's hard to say how well it will fare. Meanwhile, the Vinfast VF6 has been crash tested at Bharat NCAP and has secured a 5-star rating. Thus, it really comes down to how much of a priority you are putting on this aspect and if you drive often on highways and at higher speeds.

My running is very low, mostly in the city. Sometimes I do around 300 km trips (both sides). I am planning to buy a new car within ₹10 lakh. I am confused between three options: Punch, Exter, and Brezza. Please suggest.

Go with the Hyundai Exter. It is the best vehicle within your budget and for city usage. You will only get a base model Maruti Suzuki Brezza LXi in your budget, and while a high-spec Tata Punch will fall in your budget, it isn't particularly smooth, refined or fuel-efficient.The Hyundai Exter, which has just been given a mild facelift, offers a smooth and refined 1.2-litre petrol engine and a relatively smooth AMT gearbox. The AMT is preferable over the MT gearbox as the majority of your driving is in the city, and the convenience of not having a clutch will be appreciated. It's well-equipped at this price, and running costs will be relatively reasonable as well.
