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 want to exchange my old 2016 Maruti Brezza diesel for a better SUV within a 15 lakh budget. I am 64 years old, and my driving is a mix of city and highway. Fuel efficiency is important. Please suggest.

City and highway use with low running costs within a Rs 15 lakh cap points us to the Hyundai Venue diesel HX5 automatic. Coming from your 2016 Brezza diesel, you will like the strong pull from low speeds, and the automatic will make life a lot easier in traffic. The steering is light, the seat is high, and the view out is clear, which helps on busy roads. Hyundai’s service reach is on par with what you are used to with Maruti, so ownership should be simple.One thing to keep in mind is that the back seat is fine for two adults, but fitting three across is tight. If you need more space, consider the Kia Syros diesel HTK+, which is easily the roomiest among the compact SUVs.Overall, for your mix of city and highway use and a focus on fuel efficiency, the Venue diesel fits your brief best. Also, with new diesels, try to do a good highway run every few weeks to help keep the exhaust filter clear.

Hi, I am planning to buy my first car and have shortlisted two options - the Hyundai i20 N Line N8 DCT and the Hyundai Venue HX6 DCT. I test-drove both and instantly fell in love with the way the i20 N Line drives and handles. However, I could feel and hear every bump and pothole quite clearly in the N Line. On the other hand, the Venue’s suspension felt more compliant and better at absorbing bad roads. Cabin insulation and seating comfort also felt better in the Venue. I also came across your review. Is the Venue’s steering and suspension a deal-breaker? At triple-digit speeds, does it feel bouncy or unstable while changing lanes? I understand these cars belong to different segments, but could you please suggest which one I should choose? My primary usage will be weekend road trips, with occasional city driving, as my daily office commute is on a two-wheeler.

You have already picked up on the core difference. The Hyundai i20 N Line is tuned for sporty driving, so the suspension is firmer, and you will feel more of the road. That is not a flaw; it is a deliberate setup to improve control and handling.The Hyundai Venue, on the other hand, is tuned for comfort. It has a softer suspension, better bump absorption and a more relaxed driving character. You also sit higher and more upright, and the cabin insulation is better, which makes it feel more comfortable in everyday use. Being the newer car in this comparison, that difference you felt is expected. The choice really comes down to what you value more. The Venue is the easier and more comfortable car, while the i20 N Line is the more engaging one to drive.If you were to compare the standard i20 instead of the N Line, it would feel noticeably more comfortable, closer to the Venue. But then you lose the turbo petrol performance that you liked.

I live in a small town called Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. My monthly driving mileage is approximately 1,400 km. I have a preference for modern and good-looking cars. I have shortlisted the Venue HX5 Diesel and the Victoris CNG. Please share your suggestions.

From your requirements, we feel the Hyundai Venue HX5 diesel will suit you better than the Maruti Suzuki Victoris CNG. It fits because diesel pulls stronger at low speeds and on open roads, so overtakes are easier even with family and luggage, and you will not have to plan trips around CNG pumps, which can be fewer and have queues in smaller towns. The new Venue is also compact and easy to park on narrow streets. This Hyundai car feels steady on rough patches common around small towns in Rajasthan, and Hyundai’s service network is wide.It also looks modern inside and out, which is what you are after. Even in the HX5 trim, the quality levels are high and there are modern design flourishes inside and out that keep the Venue from looking too basic or cheap. For instance, you still get a dual screen layout which looks crisp and high tech, as well as projector headlamps and LED DRLs on the outside. The Victoris, in comparison, looks a lot more conservative in its design, even though it is a larger vehicle. What's more, even though the Victoris has a larger boot than the Venue, its rear seat space is quite similar.
