Want to buy a used Automatic(CVT or TC) with a budget of 6 lacs for my father. Please suggest

There are no new cars available at around Rs. 6 lakh that come with a torque-converter automatic or a CVT. However, if you are open to buying used, then a Honda Amaze CVT would be a good fit. Look for a low-mileage example with a complete service history, and make sure you get a thorough pre-purchase inspection done. Ideally, buy from a trusted, certified used-car platform that offers a warranty.

If you must buy new, then consider the Maruti Alto K10 or S-Presso. Both are available with an AMT. While the shifts are relatively slow, they are reasonably smooth and do a decent job in city traffic.

In fact one should look at ecosport automatic which has one of the best engine and torque converter gear box transmission. It has all the modern features and very stable and steady car. You get it at a very low cost today.

Should I wait for the upcoming Kia Sonet facelift and Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid, or go ahead with the Honda Amaze ZX CVT? I want a value-for-money car, and my maximum on-road budget is Rs 14 lakh.

•1d

The Honda Amaze ZX CVT would be our recommendation if value for money is your priority and you are happy with the way it drives. It will be considerably more affordable than the other two options, and its naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with the CVT offers a smooth driving experience, particularly in city traffic.The Kia Sonet facelift will be a larger and more expensive car. Its automatic petrol version is expected to use a 1.0 litre turbo petrol engine with a DCT, which will offer stronger performance but won't be as smooth as the Amaze's CVT in bumper-to-bumper traffic. As for the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid, there is no definitive launch timeline or confirmation of its India launch yet, so it doesn't make much sense to delay your purchase for it.

Hi everyone, I am a 43-year-old working professional residing in Bokaro Steel City, Jharkhand. I am looking to buy a secondary car for my daily office commute, which is around 30km at most per day or approximately 1,000km per month. I will be driving alone around 80 percent of the time, and this car will replace my ageing Honda Unicorn motorcycle. We already have a Tata Nexon at home, and I have shortlisted the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso VXi and Alto K10 VXi. Could the experts here suggest which one would be a better choice for my requirements and explain why? Also, why does the S-Presso have such low sales numbers compared to other cars in its segment? Thanks in advance!

The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso would be the better choice for you. It's got slightly more ground clearance, which will be a boon for your daily commutes. Further, the S-Presso seats you slightly higher than the Alto K10, giving a better view of the road. The slightly elevated seating position would also feel closer to the Nexon that you are used to. Also, the S-Presso gives a greater sense of space inside though it's not much roomier than an Alto. In other ways, the S-Presso and Alto are the same, using the same engine, gearbox, and platform. While the S-Presso is a good car for the money, its gawky design hasn't won over buyers, which should explain why it doesn't sell as much as the more traditional-looking Alto.

Hi, I am planning to buy a new car for my family in India. Please suggest an SUV within a maximum budget of Rs 15 lakh (on-road). My options are the Kia Seltos HTE (O) and Maruti Victoris VXi. I had previously decided on the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7, but my preferences have changed slightly.

•17h

Between your two picks, the Kia Seltos HTE (O) would be our recommendation. It is a larger car than the Maruti Suzuki Victoris and has a more spacious interior. The Seltos HTE (O) is also better equipped than the Victoris VXi, offering features like LED headlights and a larger infotainment screen. Despite being one of the lower-end trims, it also feels more premium inside than the Victoris VXi.Both cars offer similar 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engines, but the Kia Seltos has a bit more power. The Seltos does cost a little more than the Victoris, but we feel it is well worth the premium.

I am planning to buy the top-end Hyundai Creta Turbo Petrol DCT variant. My daily running is around 50–100km, which adds up to approximately 25,000–30,000km annually. I am looking for a car that offers strong performance and quick acceleration, along with a comprehensive set of comfort and convenience features. Should I buy the current Creta Turbo Petrol DCT top variant or wait for the 2027 Creta? For context, I currently own a 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire Hybrid and a Volkswagen Virtus GT 1.5 TSI.

The 2027 Hyundai New Creta will be thoroughly updated inside-out, and it'll have more tech and features. If you don't mind waiting, it makes sense to get the 2027 new-gen model. Do note, its powertrain options are likely to be carried forward from the current version. If you can't wait, but still want the performance as well as the latest in terms of tech and features, consider the Kia Seltos turbo-dct instead, which packs in more or less everything the next-gen Creta is likely to offer.

Which SUV would you pick for a family of 5?

I’m planning to buy a new car, and my annual running is around 40,000km, primarily involving highway drives and ghat sections. I have shortlisted the Kia Seltos Diesel HTX and the upcoming facelifted Toyota Innova Hycross ZX. I’m considering two approaches: either buy the Innova Hycross and keep it for the next 10 years, given its reputation for longevity and the expectation that its engine can last at least 4 lakh kilometres, or buy the Seltos, drive it for around 2 lakh kilometres over 4–5 years, sell it and upgrade to a brand-new Seltos or another car of a similar price and size. On paper, the Innova Hycross Hybrid seems like the better choice, considering its long-term reliability and features such as the Ottoman reclining seats. However, I’m concerned that I might get bored of it after four years or that it may start feeling outdated as newer technologies and features enter the market. This makes the second option appealing, as it would allow me to upgrade to a brand-new car every 4–5 years. Which approach would make more sense in the long run, considering my high annual running and ownership costs?

It seems like you're leaning towards the Kia Seltos Diesel HTX, and we think it is a good choice. The diesel engine feels adequately powered for highway usage and ghat driving, and it is likely to return respectable efficiency too. Moreover, despite being modern with all the latest tech and features, the Seltos will be substantially more affordable than the Toyota Innova Hycross hybrid. So unless you need the Innova's extra space, or you frequently travel with six or seven passengers, the Kia Seltos diesel is your best bet.
