Hi, I am planning to buy a CNG SUV and am considering the Tata Nexon CNG and Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG. I will be driving around 150km every day for office, so my main concerns are fuel economy and maintenance costs. Many people have suggested the Brezza because of its mileage and lower running costs, but Tata is also a large company and has a wide service network. So, why do buyers generally recommend the Brezza over the Nexon CNG? I personally prefer the Nexon, but I am confused about whether it would be the right choice for my daily usage. Which one would make more sense for my requirements?

Go with the Tata Nexon CNG if that is your preference. At 150 km daily, CNG is the right fuel choice, and both the Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Brezza are factory CNG cars, so reliability and safety are not a concern. The Nexon CNG is a strong product with good performance, a comfortable ride and a well-equipped cabin.

The reason many people suggest the Brezza is Maruti's reputation for low maintenance costs, wide service reach and a long-standing reputation for hassle-free ownership. The Brezza CNG is also a very reliable and efficient package. However, the Nexon CNG is the more modern car and feels more premium inside.

At 150 km daily, the key is to choose the car you will enjoy driving every day. The Nexon CNG is a solid choice, and there is no reason to change your decision.

@autocar.india did you took note of mileage during suggestion? Nexon cng mileage is around 17 which breeza petrol would offer it. Breeza cng mileage is almost 25kms.

@praveen_jp Nexon CNG mileage on 60-40 highway and city is 20-22.5 km/kg. On 70-30 highway and city, nexon mileage can reach 22-25km/kg. On a 80-20 highway and city, its mileage is 24-27km/kg. Note - Nexon has a turbo engine, so you enjoy revving it, but if you are unnecessarily revving it, the above figures and your mileage will die. @deepakrochhiya please refer nexon mileage above.

Go for nexon cng. Or you may check for alternate technology. Since daily running is high you may opt for EV instead in case you don't have charging constraints. The slight higher cost initially will be easily covered with your daily driving requirements. Main advantages . Very low running costs even when compared to cheapest fuel driven options . Low maintenance as their is no engine no transmission and very less moving parts . Battery warranty coverage for the life of the vehicle . Very smooth driving . Fun to drive You may consider nexon LR CURVV.EV

Breeza is the right pick, 1.The TATA service network is offering poor experience 2.Even when CNG dries/unavailable 1.5 NA is economical compared to nexon turbo 3.Reliability of NA engine is much reliable comparatively 4.refinement is great in 1.5 NA Above are genuine points... Last but not least your inner satisfaction is very much required, so go with your desire since the flaws won't be seen if have love or interest in a thing...!

@deepakrochhiya, if your driving are mostly on highways, then please consider nexon as your best mate. Because, nexon cng gives great mileage on highways. But if you are driving your car 70 city and 30 highway or 80 city and 20 highway, your mileage will drop drastically, around 13-18km/kg. In case of city driving, brezza cng is a better choice. So you 150km daily office route will surely include mostly highways and less city that is why Nexon CNG is your perfect car. And on a 1-1 lane roads, that has no divider, Nexon CNG has a great advantage of quick overtaking than Brezza CNG. Nexon CNG is far greater than Brezza CNG if you are overtaking on highways. Secondly, Tata Nexon needs your attention. If its your first car, then you need to be sensitive towards your Tata Nexon and it will need your attention. But if its your second or third car, then, major Go with Nexon CNG.

I am looking for an automatic SUV under Rs 14 lakh, preferably with a torque-converter or CVT gearbox. The car will primarily be used for city driving, with occasional highway trips and long-distance journeys. I am leaning towards a petrol model rather than an EV, as I feel EV charging infrastructure is still not widely available. My main priorities are mileage and long-term reliability. I have shortlisted the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Skoda Kylaq, Hyundai Venue and Mahindra XUV 3XO.

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza automatic. Your priorities are mileage, reliability and predominantly city driving, and the Brezza lines up perfectly with that brief. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is proven, the 6-speed torque converter automatic is smooth and reliable, and Maruti's service network and low maintenance costs make it a very easy car to own long-term. It is also one of the more fuel-efficient naturally aspirated petrol SUVs in the segment, which matters given your usage pattern.The Skoda Kylaq and Mahindra XUV 3XO are both excellent cars, but they are turbo petrols and will not be as fuel efficient in city conditions. The Hyundai Venue is a good all-rounder, but it comes with a DCT automatic that is nowhere as smooth as a CVT or torque converter. The Brezza is not the most exciting car to drive, but it is the most sensible choice for your requirements.

I’m planning to buy a compact SUV for my dad, who is 64 years old. He currently owns a 2015 Hyundai Creta diesel automatic (torque converter), but he now finds it a little difficult to drive because of its size. He prefers a smaller, easy-to-manoeuvre automatic SUV. The expected usage would be around 70% in town and 30% on highways. The options I’m currently considering are: Kia Sonet 1.5 Diesel Automatic Toyota Taisor Petrol Automatic Mahindra XUV 3XO Petrol Automatic What other options would you recommend considering his age, ease of driving, comfort, size, and our usage pattern? My budget is a maximum of Rs 14 lakh. I’d really appreciate your suggestions and a comparison of the best options.

For your father, the priority should be ease of driving, comfort and a manageable size. The Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor turbo-petrol automatic is the best choice from your shortlist. It is compact, easy to manoeuvre and the torque converter automatic is smooth and reliable, making it ideal for city use. The Mahindra XUV 3XO petrol automatic is also a strong contender with a spacious cabin and good safety credentials, but this Toyota car is smoother to drive, more efficient, and an easier car to live with on a daily basis. The Kia Sonet diesel automatic is a good car, but the diesel AT powertrain is not worth the extra outlay for the kind of usage you have in mind. Your father will also have to contend with relatively higher maintenance costs as well as maintaining a DPF, which requires regular highway runs.If you are open to other options, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza petrol automatic is worth serious consideration. It is one of the easiest cars to drive in the segment, has a comfortable ride and the torque converter automatic is well suited to city driving. This Maruti Suzuki car also has a wide service network and low running costs, which adds to long-term peace of mind. Overall, the Taisor petrol automatic or the Brezza petrol automatic would be our top recommendations. Both are compact, easy to drive and well suited to your father's needs.

Hi, I am planning to buy sub-4 meter SUV for very low monthly usage of around 500 km in Mumbai and trips of around 500 km twice in a year on highway. We have shortlisted Kia Sonet HTK (O) and Skoda Skylaq Signature+. It should have very low breakdown, need less repairs and overall should be a headache free experience as I am a senior citizen. Please suggest which car should I have.

•1d

Go for the Kia Sonet. With your low monthly running and a couple of annual highway trips, petrol is the right choice, and the Sonet is the more dependable option. We would stick with the 1.2-litre petrol engine as it is simpler, more efficient and lower on maintenance costs, but unfortunately there is no automatic gearbox with this engine, in case you want one. For that you can move up to the 1.0 T-GDi engine, but purchase and maintenance costs will also go up correspondingly. Kia’s service network is strong in Mumbai, the car is easy to drive, compact and well suited to city use, and maintenance costs are reasonable. The Skoda Kylaq is the better driver’s car, but Skoda’s service network is not as extensive, fuel economy is poor and the ownership experience can vary based on the dealership. As a senior citizen looking for a hassle-free, dependable car, the Sonet is the safer and more sensible choice. If you want to consider one more option, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza petrol automatic is also worth a look as it is extremely reliable, Maruti has a wide service network and is very easy to live with.

I want to know the launch date of the new Toyota Innova Hycross model.

•2d

The Toyota Innova Hycross facelift is expected to launch in early 2027. Toyota has already been testing the updated Hycross in India, with spy shots showing a revised front end, new lighting elements and a redesigned bumper. The facelift is expected to bring some interior and feature updates as well, while the existing 2.0-litre petrol and strong hybrid powertrains are likely to continue. Toyota has not announced a confirmed launch date yet, so early 2027 is the current expectation rather than a firm date.

Hi, I want to buy my last car as I am 66 years old. I have been driving a Honda City for the last 12 years without any major hiccup. The Honda City engine and its reliability is excellent although its ground clearance is an issue. I have looked at Elevate and given its ground clearance as an SUV, I am impressed although the issues on E20 and abrupt blending issues are surely technical issues. Windsor EV was a great test drive but all controls on screen could be a bottleneck for me at my age and am planning to move to an automatic. Please recommend as experts. My monthly running will not be more than 500 km. Should I also look at Seltos. I will appreciate a feedback from experts. I want a reliable, easy to drive car with low maintenance cost and good family value with. There won't be any great pick ups or many highway drives will not be there.

Given your 12 years of trouble free City ownership, the Elevate is the most natural replacement. It retains Honda’s simple 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, adds substantially better ground clearance and gives you the easier ingress and SUV driving position you liked. The CVT is also very well suited to your low speed, low running usage and should make the transition to an automatic easy.On your E20 concern, we would not treat it as a reason to avoid the Elevate. Honda says all its cars manufactured in India since January 2009 are E20 material compatible, and the current Elevate is officially certified for E20. Honda also says E20 should not cause durability concerns or require any component changes. There can be a marginal reduction in fuel economy because ethanol contains less energy than petrol, but with your 500km monthly running, that is unlikely to be significant.The Seltos is worth a look, particularly if you want a more feature rich and premium cabin, but given your priorities of reliability, easy driving, low maintenance and long term ownership, the Elevate fits your requirements more naturally. The Windsor EV is also an interesting option, but at just 500km a month, there is little financial reason to move to an EV, especially when you have concerns about its touchscreen heavy interface.

I’m planning to buy my first car, and my primary goal is daily office commuting. The distance from home to office is 30 km one way in Mumbai, which is roughly 1,000 km a month. My requirement is an automatic car. Which fuel type should I choose - petrol or diesel? My budget is Rs. 10-15 lakh.

•2d

At around 1,000km a month, with a 30 km each-way commute in Mumbai traffic, petrol is the better choice. The running is not high enough to make a diesel automatic's higher purchase price and more complex emissions system worthwhile, particularly when much of the driving will be in stop-start traffic.For a first car under Rs 15 lakh, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5 AT would be a sensible choice. Its naturally aspirated petrol engine and torque converter automatic are smooth and well suited to Mumbai traffic, while Maruti's service network and generally low maintenance costs make it an easy car to live with. The automatic's certified efficiency is also a respectable 20.17kpl.If you want something more fun to drive, the Kylaq 1.0 TSI AT and XUV 3XO 1.2 turbo AT are worth considering, although their turbo petrol engines and overall ownership proposition are different from the Brezza.
