Hi, I want to buy a small SUV in the price range of Rs 12 to 15 lakh, with high ground clearance and a high seating position. I am confused between the Kylaq and the Elevate. Please suggest. Thanks.

The choice between the two really comes down to what you want in your car. Since you already have a mid-size vehicle, the Skoda Kylaq would be a good option.

The car sits in the compact segment, which is a length of less than 4 meters, so it would be a good option to have for city drives. Moreover, the gearbox is a torque convertor which is the smoothest type of autobox around.

If, however, you want your second car to also offer you more interior space, then the Honda Elevate is the better choice, being the bigger of the two.

You shouldn't opt for Honda Elevate. Since this vehicle is not recording sufficient sales in comparison to Creta or Seltos then there are good chances that Honda may discontinue this model too.

My daily driving is around 20 km in a small city and nearby villages, and my budget is Rs 12-14 lakh. I prefer a car with a powerful engine. Which car would you recommend?

There are a couple of options that you can consider. We've listed the highlights for each.1) Skoda Kylaq: Punchy engine, fun handling. Rear seat space is tight, though2) Mahindra XUV 3XO petrol: Strong engine, good ride comfort. Boot space is limited3) Maruti Suzuki Fronx Turbo/ Toyota Taisor Turbo: Strong engine. Reliability and hassle-free ownership experience 4) Citroen C3: Strong engine. Feels a bit basic, and the service network isn't very large.

Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to buy the Hyundai Venue facelift model, but am unsure whether I should go with the petrol or diesel automatic. I prefer an automatic only, and my monthly usage is around 1,000 km, mostly city driving with occasional highway trips.

For your monthly usage, petrol makes more sense. The new Hyundai Venue is a good choice, and its 1.0-litre TGDi engine works well with the DCT. However, you may notice the occasional hesitation from the DCT.Alternatively, you could consider the Maruti Suzuki Fronx with the Boosterjet engine and automatic combination, or the Skoda Kylaq 1.0 TSI automatic. Both these cars have torque converter automatics, which shift more smoothly than a DCT and are therefore better suited to slow urban traffic.Do take a test drive of all the cars before making your decision.

I am planning to buy a new car and am confused between the 2026 Hyundai Creta EX(O) IVT, Kia Seltos HTK IVT and Honda Elevate V CVT. My usage will be around 50 percent in the city and 50 percent on highways. I also plan to sell the car after 3-4 years, so good resale value and overall value for money are important factors. Which of these cars would you recommend?

Among your three choices, the Hyundai Creta is in high demand in the used market and therefore holds its value the best. The current Kia Seltos is too new to accurately predict its resale value, but going by the resale values of the last generation, we expect it to be only slightly behind the Creta. Interestingly, the Elevate, despite Honda's good reputation, will likely see the most depreciation of the three, but in the V CVT variant you've chosen, it is also the cheapest to buy, and Honda dealers regularly offer sizeable discounts on it.The Creta is the safest bet if you want the best value for money and strong resale value. It is good to drive, well-equipped, the engine is smooth and refined, and the IVT works seamlessly. However, do take a test drive of the Elevate as well. It offers better acceleration than the Creta, the seats are very comfortable, and the suspension feels more robust. If you can negotiate a good deal, it can represent very good value for money.
