Hi, currently i am using SUV 700. Since i moved back from Delhi to Manjeri, Kerala, where parking is an issue in most of the town area, can you suggest a Sedan with good features and mileage. Even hatchback will also do, if we have some storage space. The range should be 7-10L maximum. Thank you

GOOD CAR PROS--- BUILD QUALITY....... TECH.................... BUT (TATA SERVICE ISSUES) (LACK OF PETROL MILEAGE) (VERY UNDERPOWER ENGINE 3 CYL EVEN MORE IF DRIVEN IN CNG) NOT SUITABLE FOR SPEEDS ABOVE 150.... OR HIGHWAYS THOUGH IT CAN BE RELIABLE IF YOU DRIVE IT BETWEEN 50 TO 100 IN CNG OR ALMOST ALL TIME IN CNG IF SINGLE HAND DRIVEN WITH. BETTER CAR MAINTENANCE

If features are not your priority do check out for the Maruti Breeza. The 1.5 litre NA engine has much better driveability than that of 1.2 NA Kappa engine of Hyundai in case of Hyundai Venue. However if you pick the 1.0 litre turbo/1.5 litre diesel for the Venue then it's a different story but you have not mentioned your average monthly/annual usage,if your driving is on the lesser side with limited highway trips purchasing any diesel powered car is strictly not suggested. Beside the Breeza & Venue you can also check out the Fronx though it's a crossover and the Tata Nexon/Mahindra 3XO. In case you live in a Tier 1 city and there are outlets of Skoda & Citroen please avail a test drive of the Kylaq & C3 Turbo before making a final decision.

I have been looking for a secondary car, primarily to be driven in the city. A petrol automatic would be preferred. Mileage is not a very big criterion. Good engine performance, features and a hassle-free ownership experience are on the must-have list. We are looking for something compact and easy to maneuver in the city and park in tight spaces. Budget is around ₹15 lakh, plus or minus a lakh. A lack of dealerships in the city we reside in restricts us to only a few brands: Maruti Suzuki (Nexa too), Kia, Hyundai, Mahindra, Toyota and Tata. We test drove the Hyundai Venue (new gen), Kia Sonet and also looked at the Toyota Fronx and Nexon. Which car would you kindly suggest?

The Hyundai Venue is a good option to consider. It is compact, has a good feature list, and the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is punchy and fun to drive. The DCT automatic gearbox is also smooth and quick to respond. Being the newest entrant to the compact SUV segment, it gets a modern cabin that is well-equipped and gets all the features you would want.This Hyundai car also has decent space at the rear, and the ride comfort and sales and service experience is good, too. Overall, it is a well-rounded package that does everything the way you'd want it to. The HX 8 trim is one shy of the top-spec, but it will fit in your budget and offer a long equipment list.

I am currently driving a Maruti Suzuki WagonR (2017), and I now feel the need to upgrade as my monthly running is around 1,500-2,000 km. What car should I buy within a budget of ₹14 lakh?

Since your monthly running is on the higher side, a diesel SUV would make sense. The newly updated Hyundai Venue in HX 5 trim would fit in your budget and is a big upgrade from the WagonR. The engine is refined, frugal and tried and tested, and should you get the manual gearbox, it has a light clutch that makes it easy in traffic. The HX 5 also gets a good level of kit, like a sunroof, cruise control, touchscreen, reversing sensors, TPMS, etc. The ride quality is good too, and it has a decent-sized boot for outstation trips. Hyundai's after-sales network is also one of the best, and it would be a hassle-free ownership experience.

I currently own a 2018 Honda WR-V diesel manual (6-speed), which has run about 50,000 km, along with a Tata EV purchased in 2023, which has covered around 20,000 km. I have now decided to replace my WR-V with a BS6 diesel automatic car. Could you please suggest which diesel automatic model would be the best choice according to Autocar?

Without knowing your budget and more requirements, we can't recommend the ideal choice for you. We have shortlisted models that you should consider, and why they are of interest. Compact SUVs- Hyundai Venue: (+) Smooth diesel engine and auto gearbox combo, good interior space, upmarket interior | (-) Expensive for its size- Kia Sonet: (+) Smooth diesel engine and auto gearbox combo, upmarket interior, good value | (-) Rear seat space is limited, due to be replaced in the coming year Midsize SUVs- Kia Seltos: (+) Spacious interior, well equipped, good ride comfort | (-) Performance is adequate only- Tata Sierra: (+) Class-best space, feature-packed, tough build, ride comfort | (-) Engine feels noisy, road noise- Hyundai Creta: (+) Well equipped, decent performance | (-) Due to be replaced in the coming year
