I’m looking for an automatic SUV under ₹14 lakh and am deciding between the Tata Nexon DCA and the new 2025 Hyundai Venue DCT. This will be my first automatic car, and my daily usage is about 80 km. Which of these offers the best value for money given my requirements?

Asked by: Rohit

On pure value for money alone, the Tata Nexon DCA appears to come out on top, as prices of its model range on the whole are lower than the new Hyundai Venue, which gets pricey at the top end. However, Hyundai offers its Venue 1.0 petrol DCT in lower and mid-range variants too, including the N Line N6 version, while the Tata car has just one Petrol DCT variant that falls into your budget. 

You would have to go beyond Rs 14 lakh to gain access to more features in the Tata. Plus, the Venue is the newer vehicle with slightly more up-to-date tech, and its turbo-petrol DCT is the smoother powertrain too. 

Hence, we would recommend checking out the Hyundai Venue.

Hi, I’m planning to buy my first car, which I won’t be driving regularly. My budget is under ₹14 lakh on-road. I’m looking for a fun-to-drive car and don’t need it to be family-focused. I’m open to both manual and automatic transmissions, whichever is more engaging to drive and fun.

The Skoda Kylaq will be the perfect choice for your requirements. It has a punchy 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and is available in both a manual gearbox and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.The Kylaq has compact dimensions and has a well-balanced chassis that makes the car great fun to drive. The handling is particularly impressive, and it has a good build too. The Prestige variant in manual guise will fit in your budget, while the Signature+ AT variant works if you prefer the automatic.

I’m looking to buy a motorcycle with strong low-end torque. Which would be better among the Goan Classic 350, CB350, Harley-Davidson X440 T, and Royal Enfield Scram 440? My usage will mostly be in the city, with rare long rides, and I’m not concerned about top speed.

For city use among the bikes you're looking at, the top two would be the Royal Enfield Scram 440 and Harley-Davidson X440 T. These bikes have large, long-stroke, single-cylinder engines, which will have the edge over the smaller 350s you're looking at. However, if most of your usage is inside the city, we'd recommend sticking with the 350cc roadsters from either Royal Enfield - Hunter/ Classic / Bullet - or Honda - in the form of its CB350 trio. These bikes will have more than enough grunt for city traffic and will also return more fuel economy. Take a test ride of these to see which one suits you best.
