I'm considering purchasing a compact SUV under ₹10 lakh primarily for city driving. I prioritize good fuel economy and low maintenance costs. My monthly driving is less than 500 km. Could you please suggest the best options available?

You would have far more options opting for a manual gearbox with a CNG engine. Since you are used to a manual, this should be fine, and we would suggest you look at the Hyundai Exter or the Tata Punch.Both have the dual tank CNG option, which sits below the boot floor, thus leaving you with enough boot space, and both cars offer you a slightly elevated seating position and an easy entry and exit.If, however, you would like to opt for an automatic, an AMT - which is the only type of automatic available with CNG - will not be a very smooth gearbox as far as automatics go, but in heavy traffic conditions would still be better than a manual. In this case, look at the Tata Tiago, which also has the dual CNG tank advantage.

It will be better if you go for an SUV; even small SUVs will give you better headroom. In the small car segment, you can look at the Tata Punch, which has wide-opening doors, making ingress and egress easier, good headroom, and an adjustable headrest can also add to your comfort.This Tata car also gets a spacious cabin, lots of features, a 5-star safety rating, and is widely popular, so you get better resale value, too.

The Triumph Speed T4 is a great bike in its class and one you should certainly consider. In a few months, Bajaj will be downsizing all the 400cc Triumphs to 350cc in order to benefit from the new GST 2.0 structure, and it remains to be seen how the T4 fits into this new lineup.Similar bikes to the Speed T4 are the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Honda CB350 models, although their simpler, air-cooled engines offer significantly lower performance but have a deeper, thumpier exhaust note and more laidback character. This could be a good thing depending on the sort of experience you're after, so take a test ride of these bikes before you decide.

The Honda CB300R has presently been discontinued in India, and there is no official word on its return. However, we do know that the company is working on bringing the Rebel 300 cruiser - a bike that shares its engine with the CB300R - to India with a lot of localised content to ensure competitive pricing.This also paves the way for the CB300R to return to our market in the future, perhaps with a few new features thrown in. We recommend reaching out to your nearest Honda BigWing dealer and speaking to them for more clarity.
