I am confused between Brezza ZXi manual 1.5L and ZXi manual 1L. Considering 60km of daily driving in partial city area, please suggest which between the two is the best fit for me?

You should consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.0 turbo petrol. In terms of efficiency, both the engines are quite similarly matched but you'll enjoy the peppy midrange of the turbo engine more than the 1.5 naturally aspirated engine. Since you looking at the ZXI variants for both, there will be no difference in features. What really swings the decision in turbo's favour is the fact that it will be around Rs. 1 lakh more affordable (on-road) as compared to the 1.5 NA.

I’m a first-time car buyer and I’m confused between the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Delta (Rs 12.7 lakh on-road), the Brezza VXi automatic (Rs 11.4 lakh) and the Brezza ZXi manual (Rs 11.5 lakh). I’m not sure how much of my driving will be in the city and how much on the highway. If I choose the automatic, I’ll miss out on many features that come with the Brezza ZXi and the Grand Vitara Delta. Is it okay to give up those features and choose the VXi automatic?

It is a tricky choice, but we would lean towards the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi automatic. In today's increasingly congested traffic conditions, the convenience of an automatic transmission is something you will appreciate every day. The additional features on the Brezza ZXi manual or Grand Vitara Delta may seem attractive initially, but over the years, the ease of driving an automatic is likely to matter more.The Brezza VXi AT is not poorly equipped either. It gets a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, six airbags, ESP and hill-hold assist. You will miss out on features such as cruise control, a rear parking camera and a sunroof, but some convenience features can be added later through accessories.

Please suggest a car under Rs. 11-12 lakh considering 2000-2500 km of monthly running.

Since your monthly running is fairly high, a CNG or diesel vehicle could significantly reduce your running costs. If most of your driving is within the city, consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG. It gets a dual-cylinder tank setup that preserves much of the boot space while offering excellent fuel efficiency. Alternatively, consider the Tata Nexon iCNG or Mahindra XUV 3XO ZNG if you want better performance and are willing to sacrifice some fuel efficiency.If most of your driving is on the highway, then you should go with diesel. Consider the Kia Sonet or Hyundai Venue diesel. Both use refined powertrains that offer good fuel efficiency and strong highway performance.

I want to buy a compact SUV (petrol, automatic) under a budget of Rs. 12-13 lakh. Help me decide between Brezza, Venue, Kylaq, XUV 3XO and Amaze (since it is a compact Sedan) considering that the mileage within city should not be less than 13-14kpl.

Between your picks, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5-litre automatic is your best bet since city fuel efficiency is your main priority. The Hyundai Venue, Skoda Kylaq and Mahindra XUV 3XO all use turbo-petrol engines, which aren't particularly known for their fuel efficiency in the city. That said, achieving your target of 13-14kpl in city driving with any of these cars will require a very sedate driving style.The Brezza also comes with a smooth-shifting 6-speed torque converter automatic, which makes driving in the city very easy. One drawback is that, its interior won't feel as modern as the Hyundai Venue. The Honda Amaze is another good choice, but being a compact sedan, it won't feel as spacious as the Brezza.

What are Mahindra’s plans for an ICE SUV positioned above the XUV 7XO? Specifically, does Mahindra plan to launch any ICE SUVs in the Rs 30-40 lakh bracket?

•2d

Mahindra has not yet confirmed an all-new ICE SUV positioned above the XUV 7XO in the Rs 30-40 lakh bracket. However, there are some interesting developments on its future product roadmap. The company has outlined plans for 10 new ICE models by 2031, including nine new nameplates, with several expected to use its upcoming NU_IQ platform. The Vision X and Vision SXT concepts are among the products to watch, although their final positioning and specifications are yet to be revealed. A more immediate development is the possibility of a strong-hybrid version of the XUV 7XO, which Mahindra is evaluating and could introduce around 2027. This would potentially sit above the current petrol and diesel variants, offering better fuel efficiency and a more sophisticated powertrain. Mahindra is also working on a coupe-styled hybrid SUV, internally codenamed W623, which could arrive around 2028, although its positioning is not yet clear.

Hi team, I’m confused between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi AT and ZXi MT. Both are within my budget and cost the same through the CSD (Canteen Stores Department). I drive around 700-1,000 km a month, mostly in the hills and on highways, with very little city driving. Which one should I choose?

•1d

Given your usage, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi manual over the VXi automatic. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is smooth, but it isn't particularly peppy. The six-speed manual makes better use of the engine's performance and gives you greater control on hilly roads, particularly when climbing or overtaking on steep gradients. The torque converter automatic is more convenient in city traffic and relaxed highway cruising, but the manual is better suited to your predominantly hilly usage.There is another option worth considering: the Brezza Turbo ZXi manual. Its 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine produces 110hp and 170Nm, offering stronger mid-range performance and better flexibility on climbs and highway overtakes. Its low-speed response and clutch operation are also quite manageable. We would suggest test-driving both manual versions, but the Turbo would be our pick if performance is a priority.

I owned a 2019 Maruti Vitara Brezza ZDi+ manual and sold it in 2024 to buy a Virtus GT DSG. I regret selling the Brezza, although the Virtus is a great car. I bought it because my wife wanted a sedan, and I chose the automatic partly for her, but she hardly drives it. The Virtus has covered nearly 60,000 km in two years. I’m planning to replace it with a new car. I drive at least 80% on the highway and 20% in the city. At least twice a month, I make a round trip of 640 km, and my annual mileage is at least 25,000 km. I’ve decided that my next car should be a diesel. I like the Tata Harrier, but I’m concerned about reliability and potential issues. I’m also considering the Kia Seltos, Mahindra XUV 7XO, and the upcoming Hyundai Creta. I’d choose a top-end variant and am open to either a manual or an automatic. If I go for an automatic, it must have a torque-converter gearbox. What would you recommend?

Between your picks, the Kia Seltos diesel automatic is the easiest recommendation. Its diesel powertrain is very refined and is paired with a slick 6-speed torque converter automatic. It also offers enough performance for highway driving, while ride quality is significantly better than that of the previous generation. The cabin feels premium, with good-quality materials, more space than the previous generation and an infotainment system with a very user-friendly interface.The Mahindra XUV 7XO offers better outright performance from its 2.2-litre diesel engine and a more plush ride quality. It also has a more commanding road presence, thanks to its sheer size. The cabin is premium and spacious, with the added advantage of a third row. However, its size can make it cumbersome to park in the city, while its infotainment interface takes some getting used to.If you can wait, the next-generation Hyundai Creta is expected sometime in mid-2027. It will move to the K3 platform, just like the Seltos, making it larger than the current model and allowing for a more spacious cabin. It is expected to retain the current Creta's powertrain options, so a diesel variant should still be on the cards. Other details are scarce at the moment, but it could make for a compelling alternative to the Seltos.Overall, if you don't need the third row or the added performance, the Seltos is a better fit for your needs than the XUV 7XO. While it doesn't have the outright performance of the Mahindra, it offers a good balance and better fuel efficiency.
