The Maruti Suzuki Swift AMT is the best small automatic car under Rs 10 lakh. It is compact, comfortable to drive, has a good ride and gets Maruti's extensive service backing too. Despite being an automatic, it returns an impressive 14kpl in the city and 17kpl on the highway.

The top-spec ZXI Plus trim gets LED headlamps, 15-inch alloy wheels, wireless connectivity, auto climate control, reversing camera and more. It is a well-rounded car with lots of practicality and strong resale value.

Hi Autocar, I am looking to upgrade from my Kia Seltos to a bigger and more spacious car, preferably a 6 or 7 seater. I have shortlisted a few cars: Mahindra XUV 7XO, Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tayron. Is it worth paying the premium for the Kodiaq or Tayron over the 7XO? I liked the XUV 7XO in a short test drive. I still need to test drive the Kodiaq. Please give me your opinion on the same. Thank you.

The Mahindra XUV 7XO is a good option for a 6/7-seater SUV. It is spacious, comfortable and has a good feature list. The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is also quite strong and refined.The Skoda Kodiaq is a more premium and upmarket SUV that is also very spacious and comfortable, and the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is quite strong, and it also gets all-wheel drive.The Volkswagen Tayron is similar to the Kodiaq with an upmarket cabin and the same TSI engine. However, the XUV 7XO is extremely well-equipped and has a better ride quality than both the Kodiaq and Tayron. That said, the third row is not as spacious, so if you need the extra seats frequently, the Kodiaq or Tayron will be better.The XUV's strength lies in its value proposition as it is also a lot more inexpensive in comparison with the top-spec variant, priced almost Rs 25 lakh less than the Kodiaq.

Since you frequent highways and the economy is a priority, a diesel SUV would be a good choice for you. In the Rs 15-20 lakh price range, the Kia Seltos is the newest option and has the right makings with a strong diesel engine, a well-equipped cabin and Kia's widespread network. The HTK (O) trim comes well packed with features that you would need and makes for a strong case.The Tata Sierra is also an option to consider if the Seltos' design is a bit too over the top for you. The Sierra has lots of room in the cabin, and the diesel engine is refined and punchy as well.If both these dont sit well with you, the Hyundai Creta is the safest bet. It has a clean, no-nonsense design, a well-equipped cabin and the same strong diesel engine as the Seltos. It will also hold its value better since the Creta brand name is much stronger.All three have good room in the cabin, and boot space for four is sufficient too.

The Skoda Kodiaq would be your best option given the requirements. It is comfortable and spacious, with plush seats and a well-set-up suspension, and it has all the premium tech and features expected of a premium SUV.Additionally, the 2.0-litre, 200hp TSI engine offers good power and performance is genuinely impressive given its luxury character. What's also impressive is that despite being a full-size SUV, the dynamics and chassis are impressive. High-speed handling is neat and tidy, while at lower speeds, the light steering makes the large Kodiaq feel quite manoeuvrable and easy to live with. This Skoda car is all-wheel drive, and that means grip in corners is very good.The other alternative would be the Volkswagen Tayron R-Line, which has similar underpinnings to the Kodiaq. Prices for the Tayron are not out yet, but it is likely to be close to the Kodiaq since they both share a lot in common.
