Looking at your requirements we would recommend the Skoda Kylaq. The automatic transmission is a torque convertor unit which is smoother than a dual clutch autobox (which is what the Tata Nexon has). You will appreciate this since you drive daily in heavy stop-go traffic. The Kylaq is also very safe with many safety features and it secured a 5-star rating in the BNCAP tests. Skoda dealers do not have a legacy of great service however Skoda has made significant improvements in service standards.

Happy birthday! And if you like the Volvo XC60, we recommend you go for it. It is, as you said, the most understated of the lot, and a less common sight on our roads, which makes it a little bit more special. Both the interior and exterior design aren't too over the top, and with the recent update in August 2025, its tech is now on par with the rest too. An underrated feature is the 1,410W Bowers & Wilkins audio system, which is possibly the best you'll find in this segment. It's an excellent highway cruiser with superb refinement at speed, and though not the most exciting to drive, it is very relaxing. Cost of ownership is on par with Mercedes GLC 300 and the Audi Q5, the only caveat being a slightly smaller service network, although Volvo is present in most big cities. For a heart patient, more so than the body style, its a safe, smooth, comfortable and predictable driving experience that is beneficial, and with its refined and relaxed demeanour, the Volvo XC60 should be ideal for you.

While the Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7 are spacious, practical and big on road presence, since you will just be driving yourself on weekends, their added size holds no value and simply makes them more cumbersome. As such, we'd recommend the Range Rover Sport, which has the added benefit of greater snob value than the Merc or BMW. Both its straight-six engines - petrol and diesel - are powerful and refined; in fact, they sound really nice.And though this is a big car for a five-seater, it's reasonably fun to drive. Additionally, consider the Porsche Cayenne, which, though not quite as big and imposing as the Range Rover, is even more fun to drive.

Between the two, the Hyundai i20 makes the stronger case. It delivers excellent ride comfort in the city, and its CVT is among the smoothest in the segment. While the typical ‘rubber band’ effect of CVTs is present, it’s very well controlled here. The Honda Amaze does offer a few features the i20 misses, but the i20’s longer wheelbase means you get better rear-seat space.
