I’d like your expert opinion on upgrading the alloy wheels on my Toyota Innova Hycross GX(O) from 16 inches to 17 inches. I’ve found mint-condition “showroom removed” alloys at a good price from another source. The 16-inch alloys look far too small for such a big car. Is this upgrade a good idea?

The 17-inch wheels from the Hycross VX, or even the 18-inchers from the ZX, are a straight swap on the GX(O). However, the larger wheels will have a negative impact on ride quality. The 16-inch wheels have taller sidewalls, which help absorb sharp bumps before they reach the cabin. The larger wheels have shorter sidewalls, so you'll feel more of the road surface. If that isn't a deal-breaker, go ahead with the larger wheels. However, inspect them thoroughly for any damage, such as cracks or curb rash, before buying.

I don't try to sound like a purist. I mean a machine should be treated as a machine, not a driver. It is said science is a good servant but bad master. If a machine does the work of the driver, i ask what will the driver do then. It will wipe out real drivers if all depend on advanced features. A car should be a car, not a smartphone. I am totally against all the fancy features in a car. Except for having some necessary features, fancy specifications are hardly used. Yes, Adas features also cost more and make humans over dependent on machine and there lies the danger in case any glitch appears.

Hi, my family and I have been using a Wagon R since 2009, and we recently bought an Innova Crysta in 2022 for highway runs. We are planning to replace the Wagon R, primarily for city runabouts. I particularly like the headroom it offers, as I am 6'2" tall, along with its excellent all-round visibility. Will the upcoming facelift offer a CNG-AMT combination similar to the recently launched Dzire and Baleno? We are looking for a cost-effective city car, as our daily running is over 100km. We also checked the Dzire, but I found it to be a little tight. Would it be worth waiting for the upcoming Hyundai EV? My father is keen on switching to an electric car, and we have dedicated home charging facilities. What price range can we expect it to be positioned in?

The facelift Maruti Suzuki Wagon R has been spotted testing and is expected to get a dual-cylinder CNG tank setup. The 1.0-litre engine will likely be retained, while the larger 1.2-litre K-series engine could be replaced by the Z-series unit, as seen in the Baleno. A CNG-AMT combination is also possible, although this hasn't been confirmed yet.An EV could be the perfect fit for your needs, given your long city commute and the fact that you can charge at home. Even an entry-level electric car offers a much better automatic driving experience than an AMT, which can be slow to shift and hesitant at times.The Hyundai Ioniq P is expected to launch early next year and will compete with the Tata Nexon EV and Kia Syros EV. It is likely to be priced in a similar ballpark, at around Rs. 13-18 lakh. If you can't wait, the Syros EV is also a solid fit for your needs, with one of the roomiest interiors in the segment. If both these options stretch your budget, the Tata Punch EV is an excellent alternative. It offers enough space for your tall frame, while its wide-opening doors make getting in and out very easy.Overall, an EV like the Syros EV or Punch EV would be a great fit for your needs.

I’m a first-time car buyer and I’m confused between the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Delta (Rs 12.7 lakh on-road), the Brezza VXi automatic (Rs 11.4 lakh) and the Brezza ZXi manual (Rs 11.5 lakh). I’m not sure how much of my driving will be in the city and how much on the highway. If I choose the automatic, I’ll miss out on many features that come with the Brezza ZXi and the Grand Vitara Delta. Is it okay to give up those features and choose the VXi automatic?

It is a tricky choice, but we would lean towards the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi automatic. In today's increasingly congested traffic conditions, the convenience of an automatic transmission is something you will appreciate every day. The additional features on the Brezza ZXi manual or Grand Vitara Delta may seem attractive initially, but over the years, the ease of driving an automatic is likely to matter more.The Brezza VXi AT is not poorly equipped either. It gets a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, six airbags, ESP and hill-hold assist. You will miss out on features such as cruise control, a rear parking camera and a sunroof, but some convenience features can be added later through accessories.

I want to buy a compact SUV (petrol, automatic) under a budget of Rs. 12-13 lakh. Help me decide between Brezza, Venue, Kylaq, XUV 3XO and Amaze (since it is a compact Sedan) considering that the mileage within city should not be less than 13-14kpl.

Between your picks, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5-litre automatic is your best bet since city fuel efficiency is your main priority. The Hyundai Venue, Skoda Kylaq and Mahindra XUV 3XO all use turbo-petrol engines, which aren't particularly known for their fuel efficiency in the city. That said, achieving your target of 13-14kpl in city driving with any of these cars will require a very sedate driving style.The Brezza also comes with a smooth-shifting 6-speed torque converter automatic, which makes driving in the city very easy. One drawback is that, its interior won't feel as modern as the Hyundai Venue. The Honda Amaze is another good choice, but being a compact sedan, it won't feel as spacious as the Brezza.

Hi team, I’m confused between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi AT and ZXi MT. Both are within my budget and cost the same through the CSD (Canteen Stores Department). I drive around 700-1,000 km a month, mostly in the hills and on highways, with very little city driving. Which one should I choose?

Given your usage, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi manual over the VXi automatic. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is smooth, but it isn't particularly peppy. The six-speed manual makes better use of the engine's performance and gives you greater control on hilly roads, particularly when climbing or overtaking on steep gradients. The torque converter automatic is more convenient in city traffic and relaxed highway cruising, but the manual is better suited to your predominantly hilly usage.There is another option worth considering: the Brezza Turbo ZXi manual. Its 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine produces 110hp and 170Nm, offering stronger mid-range performance and better flexibility on climbs and highway overtakes. Its low-speed response and clutch operation are also quite manageable. We would suggest test-driving both manual versions, but the Turbo would be our pick if performance is a priority.
