I want to buy an SUV, and my priorities are as follows: mileage - hybrid or EV, safety - Level 2 ADAS, and comfort - Ventilated seats. Please suggest an SUV within a budget of ₹20 lakh.

You could consider the range-topping Tata Nexon EV with the 45kWh battery, which gets Level 2 ADAS and ventilated seats, both. The Tata Curvv EV is the only other option with the ADAS and ventilated seats.There are no hybrid SUVs for Rs 20L which get ADAS and ventilated seats, and you will have to pay a lot more for the other electric cars that are equipped with these features.

You can consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi variant. It comes with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox and is known to be a reliable car. Maruti Suzuki is planning to update the Brezza very soon, so it would be better to wait for the updated model to arrive.Another option that fits your priorities is the Skoda Kylaq Prestige AT. It is a solid car, though it is smaller in size compared to the Brezza.

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Honda Amaze are the best automatic sedan options under Rs 10 lakh. If a smooth, automatic transmission and drive experience are priorities for you, the Honda Amaze CVT is the one you should look at. It's a great pick, especially if rear seat space isn't a deciding factor.The Maruti Suzuki Dzire uses a less sophisticated AMT-type automatic transmission. Gearshifts aren't slick, and there is a noticeable pause in power delivery between shifts, especially under quick acceleration. In other areas, though, the Dzire does come across as the more wholesome package. It's got a more spacious interior, packs in more features, is more fuel-efficient, and also costs a whole lot less.

The Kia Syros is a well-rounded package that stands out for its spacious cabin. It is the roomiest compact SUV with ample space for all passengers. The large glasshouse makes the cabin feel airier, and even the boot space is impressive. The Syros also boasts a well-finished interior and many wow features, like - a large touchscreen, digital dials, slick 360-degree cameras, front and rear seat ventilation, a panoramic sunroof, and more. Pricing has also been tweaked since launch to make the product better value.Given that you drive 2000km a month, it makes sense to consider the diesel-automatic versions. The diesel engine is refined and delivers ample power, while the torque converter automatic transmission is particularly smooth. In fact, the diesel engine and automatic gearbox combo deliver a premium feel. What takes away a bit from the overall experience is the stiff ride. The suspension isn't as absorbent as it should have been.
