Which one is best for city driving (90%) venue dct Mahindra 3xo AT and Brezza AT

4m

Pick the Maruti Brezza AT. Its smooth torque converter automatic, easy drivability, reliable engine, and low maintenance costs make it the best hassle-free choice. If performance is your priority, consider the XUV 3XO AT, while the Venue DCT is fun to drive but the DCT isn't my first choice for heavy city traffic.

Which car should I buy under a Rs.13 lakh on-road budget? I don’t need fancy features in my car. I want a good engine that doesn’t feel laggy, is low maintenance, offers better safety, and has good mileage. Should I wait for a flex-fuel car, considering the current scenario is not good, or should I buy a second-hand diesel car? No sedans.

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. It fits your brief perfectly: it has a strong, naturally aspirated petrol engine with no turbo lag, low maintenance costs and a proven ownership record. This Maruti Suzuki car has features on offer that cover all the expected basics with none of the fancy, flashy bits. Maruti’s service network and affordable parts make long-term ownership and maintenance easy. Wait for just a month, as an updated Brezza is due to arrive. On flex fuel, there is no need to wait. India is currently at E20, and there is no set roadmap as yet for higher blends. In any case, modern engines are engineered to handle E20, and the impact is mainly a slight drop in fuel economy rather than any major reliability concern. Maruti has also gone on record to state that their E20 engines are material compliant for slightly higher ethanol blends, so from a reliability point of view, you will be fine; however, mileage could drop. A used diesel is not the right call unless your running is very high and you are comfortable with the risks of DPF issues and higher maintenance as the car ages. For most buyers today, a good petrol SUV is the safer and more sensible long-term choice.
