I am currently driving a 2012 Toyota Etios Liva and want to replace it as it is approaching 15 years of age. I am looking for a family car under Rs 10-12 lakh that I can keep for a long time. It should also be compatible with E20 fuel.

Maruti Suzuki Baleno 1.2 petrol is your safest long-term switch. It is factory E20-ready, and Maruti typically does a good job of calibrating the engine to maintain good fuel efficiency. Coming from an Etios, you will appreciate Maruti’s fuss-free ownership and the peace of mind for over 10 years. As a family car, it is practical, with a spacious rear seat, a comfortable ride, light controls for city driving, and stable highway manners. It fits well under Rs. 10-12 lakh.
One thing to keep in mind is that it is a hatchback, so you do not get the high seating or rough-road ability of a small SUV. If you need a bit more ground clearance, the Fronx is a good bet. If you prefer a sedan, the Honda Amaze 1.2 is E20-compatible too and easy to keep for years.
