My monthly driving is around 500km, mostly in the city, and my budget is Rs 14 lakh. Which automatic car should I consider?

Considering your requirements and low monthly running costs, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza would be a good option. It gets a smooth powertrain comprising a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

The Brezza offers a spacious cabin and a good ride, and the ZXI trim fits your budget. Also, being a Maruti car, it should be affordable to maintain, with low service costs and a strong reliability record. The Brezza would be our top choice for you.

My wife and I, both senior citizens, want to buy an automatic transmission car that we will drive ourselves. Our usage will be occasional in Kolkata, along with some long weekend highway trips. Our key selection criteria are safety, automatic transmission performance, driver and passenger ride comfort, balanced city and highway handling, and sufficient boot space to hold 3 to 5 days of luggage. Which cars would be most suitable for us?

We're not aware of your budget so we would recommend a mid-size SUV like the Skoda Kushaq. It meets your requirements of safety, ride comfort and good handling in the city and highways. This Skoda car will also meet your requirement of good performance of the automatic gearbox as it is a torque convertor autobox; these are the smoothest types to have and offer a very seemless drive experience. We would recommend the 1.0 litre engine as the performance is more than adequate for the city as well as highway drives. The boot space is also sufficient for your luggage requirements. As an alternative you can consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5 litre variant. The gearbox is also a torque convertor unit and the ride in the city is very plush. However the highway stability and the boot would be just a bit smaller.

I am looking for a comfortable family SUV but am confused between the Tata Sierra and Kia Seltos. I want a petrol automatic, and my budget is up to Rs 17 lakh on-road. Which one would you suggest?

•33m

Both the mentioned SUVs are available in their base variants within your budget. A good option to consider will be the new Maruti Suzuki Brezza that gets a comfy ride, smooth petrol engine and a reliable and hassle-free automatic gearbox.In your budget, the top-spec ZXI Plus trim would be a good choice as you get a good amount of creature comforts in comparison to the Kia Seltos and Tata Sierra. The Brezza has a spacious rear seat, soft suspension and light steering that makes it easy to drive and maintain. Fuel economy will also be better than your choices, and while it is a tad small in size, the space inside is not a deal-breaker.

Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for an automatic car primarily suited to city driving, with an on-road budget of Rs 10–12 lakh in Hyderabad. I currently own a 2022 Maruti Suzuki Ignis manual and a Brezza, which I plan to retain for highway trips. I’m looking to replace the Ignis with an automatic that will primarily be used for daily city commutes. My monthly running is around 1,500km, with approximately 80% city driving and 20% on the ORR. My priorities include a comfortable driving position for my 5’10” height, good ride quality, real-world fuel efficiency and a smooth automatic gearbox. Senior-citizen-friendly entry and exit, along with comfortable rear seats, are also important as my father occasionally travels with me. I’m open to any body style or fuel type since the Brezza will continue to handle highway duties. Could you suggest your top 2–3 options that I should shortlist for back-to-back test drives with my father before making a decision? Real-world ownership experiences and feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Given your requirements, you should consider the Maruti Suzuki Baleno AMT. It falls within your budget of Rs 12 lakh, it has an efficient three-cylinder petrol engine, an AMT automatic gearbox and has a spacious cabin. The doors also open wide, and it isn't very low-set, so getting in and out should not be an issue for senior citizens. It will also be comfortable for your height, and the ride quality is also comfy and composed. Being a Maruti, it will also be stress-free to own and easy to maintain, as you would have experienced with your Brezza and Ignis. Alternatively, you could also consider the Hyundai i20 IVT. It comes with a larger, four cylinder engine, a smoother CVT automatic gearbox and feels more premium inside. But if won't be nearly as fuel efficient as the Baleno, the rear seat won't be as spacious and it will be more expensive to buy.

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.

I am planning to buy a car with a factory-fitted CNG kit, an automatic transmission, and cruise control within a budget of Rs 15 lakh. Please suggest some options.

•22h

There are quite a few options that would meet your requirements, so its hard to pinpoint a specific model without knowing a bit more about your requirements and driving conditions. If you are looking for a city car then pick the Tata Punch, the compact dimensions are easy to manage in tight city traffic and the elevated driving position gives you a decent view outside. If however you want something bigger and with more space then the Maruti Suzuki Dzire would be a good option as you will have more rear space as well as a larger boot. Both cars will fit well within your budget. If you want a larger CNG car then you will have to settle for a manual and the a model like the Kia Carens Clavis or the Maruti Victoris.
