The Tata Nexon EV will be the ideal choice for your requirements. The Fearless 45 version gets you the bigger 45kWh battery pack with a real-world range of 350km and it has a good set of features along with an excellent ride that will come close to the Duster you owned. It is stable on the highway, the charging network is growing rapidly and as a city car, it offers the lowest running costs in comparison to ICE.

Can you suggest me 2 options with model with my priorities being a practical car, smooth transmission, decent mileage and stress free ownership. (Suggest Options other than Suzuki).

The Hyundai Venue 1.0 Turbo DCT HX6 is a good option for your requirements. The Venue is an easy-to-drive compact SUV with a peppy engine and smooth DCT gearbox that suits your usage. It's practical too, with good space for four adults and a large enough boot. Hyundai's service is good, and you will have a stress-free ownership experience. Alternatively, you could look at the Kia Syros Turbo DCT HTK Plus. It has the same engine and gearbox as the Venue and is nice to drive. It's also got a very roomy cabin and also packs in a few more frills than the Venue HX6, such as a panoramic sunroof and a larger touchscreen. The Syros does have a slightly firm ride, but this should not be too much of a deal breaker on smooth highway roads. Kia's service is also more than satisfactory, making the Syros an easy option to recommend.

Hello, I am planning to purchase an automatic car purely for city use, with a daily running of roughly 20 km. I currently own a Maruti Suzuki Celerio AMT, which is now 10 years old, and that is the primary reason for this upgrade. My priorities are easy ingress and egress for seniors, comfort, and strong AC performance. My budget is around ₹10 lakh, which can stretch up to ₹12 lakh. I am considering the Taisor S Plus AMT, Kylaq Signature AT, Sonet HTK(O) DCT, XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT, and Venue HX5 DCT. Could you please advise which would be the best choice for my requirements?

Among your choices, the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT is a good fit for your needs. For 20km/day city use, the torque-converter automatic is smoother than the AMT in the Taisor and the DCTs in the Venue and Sonet. It is also more spacious than the Skoda Kylaq, and its tall stance makes it easier to get in and out of than the Taisor. The ride is smooth over speed breakers and potholes, and the AC cools quickly in summer.Before you make your final decision, visit the dealerships along with the seniors in your family to see which one they find most comfortable.

Among the automatic options in your budget, here's a shortlist of models well-suited to Bangalore city driving, as well as a tall driver. 1) Kia Seltos IVT - Very smooth engine and gearbox, roomy cabin, high-quality interior2) Tata Sierra 1.5 NA DCT - Smooth gearbox, most spacious interior, great ride comfort. Performance is dull, though3) Renault Duster 1.3 DCT - Smooth gearbox, punchy engine, great ride comfort. Not as spacious as rivals4) Kia Syros 1.0 DCT - Spacious interior, feature-packed. Negatives include firm ride comfort, and the gearbox can feel jerky at times
