We want to change our car but are unable to decide. I am the main driver, a 64-year-old lady, but our usage is now very limited. Our Honda City has driven only 51,000km in 9 years. My choices are Urban Cruiser, Seltos, Sierra, Creta, etc. My husband says a small car is better for Bangalore roads now, like the Nexon, Venue, Sonet, etc. The occupants in the car are mostly two, sometimes guests. Outstation drives are just once a year. We are looking for expert advice.

    According to your requirement, a sub-4-metre SUV is a practical choice. While all the cars you mentioned are easy to drive in the city, sub-4-metre cars have a definite advantage when it comes to parking in tight spaces.
    If budget is not a concern, you can opt for the recently updated Hyundai Venue. It is priced slightly higher than other players in the segment, but it has been updated recently and now offers a plethora of features, including OTA updates, which means you don’t have to visit the service station every time your car needs a software update.
    There are three engine options on offer: a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel. We recommend the turbo-petrol with the DCT, as it offers the claimed mileage of 20kmpl along with the convenience of an automatic gearbox.
