•24wI'm planning to upgrade to a compact SUV with a monthly driving distance of around 700 km. My budget is approximately ₹12 lakh. My priorities are safety, features, fuel efficiency, and better front visibility (headlights). I've shortlisted the Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai Venue. Could you please advise on the best option considering these factors?

Considering your priorities, we recommend looking at the Mahindra XUV 3XO. While it may not be as fuel-efficient as the others, it scores well on safety and comes well-equipped.
