In your Rs 10 lakh budget, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga LXi is your best. It is quite spacious and can comfortably seat seven adults, and its 1.5-litre petrol engine is refined and efficient. Also, with light controls, good visibility, and smooth power delivery, this Maruti car is very user-friendly, too.

Another option is the Renault Triber, which is surprisingly spacious, despite its smaller dimensions. You'll also get more features with the Triber, in your budget, hence from a value point of view, it is a better option.

However, the Triber's 1.0-litre petrol engine doesn't feel as effortless as the Maruti's 1.5-litre. Its engine of this Renault car works best for sedate driving, but on the highway. It feels underpowered, especially with a full load of passengers. Hence, if you drive regularly on the highway, go for the Ertiga instead.

What is the best automatic 7-seater SUV with good legroom available within a budget of around Rs 15 lakh?

There aren't many 7 seater automatics in your budget. Your best bet would be the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It is spacious enough, and even the third row is quite usable, with its own blower controls and air vents. At your budget, you would also get the top variant and thus have features like an automatic AC, a PM2.5 cabin air filter and a touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

I have been using Maruti cars for more than 30 years and have been using the Ertiga Hybrid for the last 6.5 years. I now need to change from the Ertiga to a good 7-seater car, preferably not the Kia Carens, etc., and around the same budget as the Ertiga. The average should also be similar. Let me know your feedback. Thanks.

Since you've been a Maruti loyalist and don't want to consider the excellent Kia Carens Clavis at all, the only options you have are to either get another Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or opt for the Maruti XL6, which is essentially a 6-seater Ertiga with black interiors, some added features and a body cladding to visually give it a rugged look. Unfortunately, there are no other car-like, spacious 7-seaters in the market that price point.

Please suggest the best car within a budget of Rs 20 lakh. My key requirements are fun-to-drive performance, ventilated seats, wireless charging, auto hold and hill assist, comfortable rear seats, a rear HD camera with dynamic guidelines, and a 360-degree camera.

Unfortunately, in your budget, no car ticks all those boxes without compromising in at least one area. The best option would be to increase your budget by a few lakhs and get the Hyundai Creta N Line N10, which offers all the features you are after, as well as a fun-to-drive package, including a potent 160hp turbo petrol engine and a well-set-up chassis. However, if you absolutely must stick to your budget of Rs 20 lakh, consider the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7 Luxury 1.2 T-GDi. You get a potent 131hp turbo petrol engine, a robust chassis that offers good ride comfort and handling, a comfy and spacious rear seat and a good feature set. All you miss out on are ventilated front seats.
