The Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Honda Amaze are the best automatic sedan options under Rs 10 lakh. If a smooth, automatic transmission and drive experience are priorities for you, the Honda Amaze CVT is the one you should look at. It's a great pick, especially if rear seat space isn't a deciding factor.

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire uses a less sophisticated AMT-type automatic transmission. Gearshifts aren't slick, and there is a noticeable pause in power delivery between shifts, especially under quick acceleration. In other areas, though, the Dzire does come across as the more wholesome package. It's got a more spacious interior, packs in more features, is more fuel-efficient, and also costs a whole lot less.

I am confused about whether to buy a new sedan or a sub-4 metre compact SUV in petrol with a budget of around Rs 10 lakh. I am not a frequent traveler and the car will mostly remain parked, with a monthly running of about 100-200 km, except for occasional outstation trips. However, I still need a car for family use as we are a family of four. Which type of car would be the better choice?

We would recommend you look at the Maruti Suzuki Dzire as the car is very reliable and spacious enough for a family of four. Also, assuming no one in your family is really very tall, as rear headroom will be tight for taller people, those around 5 feet 10 inches and above. Boot space would also be adequate for your few trips outside of the city. Just slightly above your budget is the fully loaded ZXi + variant. Though we would recommend you opt for the one below - the ZXi. This variant will give you all of the essential features like automatic AC, touchscreen with wireless phone connectivity and all of the safety features too, while coming in below your budget. You would also miss the sunroof, which frankly has limited utility, and in the Dzire is a very small unit and only lowers the headroom.

I currently drive a Maruti Suzuki WagonR CNG and have covered almost 1.6 lakh km with it. Now I am planning to buy a new SUV for my family of five, with a budget of around ₹12-13 lakh. My main requirements are: Comfortable backseat for family members Petrol automatic transmission No sunroof Suitable for daily city driving and office commute, as well as occasional highway trips Good ride quality with smooth handling, adequate power, and easy drivability 360-degree camera Low maintenance cost I am looking for practical features and reliability rather than fancy or gimmicky features. Could you suggest a suitable SUV?

While there are quite a few options within your budget, the Mahindra XUV 3XO and Maruti Suzuki Brezza come closest to meeting your requirements. The Mahindra XUV 3XO offers comfortable seating at the back and does well to offer the safety of a rear centre headrest. The XUV 3XO's turbo-petrol engine also delivers class-best power, and you really experience the performance advantage out on highway drives. There's also a tough feel to the XUV 3XO backed by an absorbent suspension. You could stretch a bit and get the AX5 that packs in reasonable features for the money. However, a 360-degree camera is not part of the package. The Maruti Suzuki Brezza is a more level-headed choice. Power and performance are significantly down on the XUV 3XO. The Brezza is more about an easy-going drive experience. Ride comfort is a highlight, and the well-cushioned seats are very comfortable too. Like the XUV 3XO, the Brezza is among the few compact SUVs that are comfortable for five passengers. The Brezza will prove to be more fuel-efficient than the Mahindra, though. There's also the hassle-free ownership experience that you get with buying a Maruti. The ZXI is worth a look, but again, misses the 360-degree camera you need.

I’m planning to buy the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXI Automatic and will be taking delivery in the next 3 days. Before proceeding, I would like some advice. Is it worth going ahead with the purchase now, or should I wait for a possible facelift? I have already waited for about a month. Are there any drawbacks I should be aware of apart from the missing turbo punch? I’ve seen some videos where the engine sounds quite loud during hard acceleration-should engine noise be a concern? I could only test drive the manual version of the Brezza and not the automatic. During the test drive, I didn’t notice much difference in terms of weight or overall driving feel. My priority is a peaceful, comfortable, long-term car with low noise levels, decent mileage, and good performance for both city and highway driving. I also test drove the Maruti Suzuki Fronx and Tata Nexon (AMT variants), but I didn’t like the AMT transmission. The DCT variants are more expensive, and I have heard they are not ideal for heavy traffic. The main reason I am considering the Brezza is its torque-converter automatic transmission. Should I go ahead with the Brezza Automatic, consider the Maruti Suzuki Victoris Automatic even if it costs around ₹3 lakh more, or look at another option?

We are not sure of the exact timelines for the launch of the facelifted Maruti Suzuki Brezza. But looking at the spy pictures floating around, we can assume it should be towards the end of next year. What you can expect from the facelift are minor cosmetic changes and some feature enhancements, but no changes to the powertrain.The Brezza’s naturally aspirated petrol engine is fairly refined as long as you don’t rev it too hard. Under hard acceleration, it can sound a bit loud, but in regular driving, it remains smooth and comfortable. You are right in choosing the Brezza for its automatic transmission - it uses a traditional torque converter, which is smoother than both AMTs and DCTs. And yes, DCTs can feel jerky in heavy traffic.The Maruti Suzuki Victoris is a bigger car but comes with the same engine and transmission options. Both the Victoris and Brezza are good in the city but can feel a bit lethargic on the highway. If you don’t need the extra space, the current Brezza is good enough. It’s a proven and reliable product for long-term ownership.
