I just sold my Ford Aspire diesel. I am looking to choose between Fronx CNG and Brezza CNG. We are a couple with 2 kids. My run will be 40% city and 60% highway. My preference is a comfortable ride for the family and an easy-to-manoeuvre car between these two. I will wait for the underbody CNG updates in both cars. Which car should we buy? Please assist. Monthly running is 1,200-1,500km.

You can't go wrong with either of the two cars. However, since you are looking at ride quality and drive more on highways, we'd recommend you lean towards the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. The ride and handling set-up of the Brezza has an emphasis on a cushioned low-speed ride, and thus, potholes in the city are well absorbed with hardly any harshness. The softer spring, though, means there is some pitch and squat on undulating highways, and since you drive more on the highways, the Fronx would thus be better.

It offers a more stable high-speed ride, and while the ride quality is definitely stiffer than the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, it’s not uncomfortable or jarring. The rear room is also lower than the Brezza, but given that it's your two kids who would sit at the back, the Fronx should not be a problem here, too.

Hello Autocar Team, I am planning to buy a new car with a budget of around ₹12-14 lakh. I am considering the Hyundai Venue HX5 DCT, Kia Sonet HTX 1.0 DCT, Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXI AT, and Tata Nexon EV 45 Creative. My primary car is an EV (MG Windsor), which I use daily for around 60-65 km. This new car will be my second vehicle, with a daily running of around 20-25 km. I did not like the road presence of the Venue much, although I liked its cabin. The Sonet has a strong road presence but feels a bit dated inside. The Brezza feels outdated both inside and outside, although it offers Maruti’s reliability. I also liked the Nexon EV, but the variant within my budget misses some features like rear AC vents. I am quite confused between these options and am specifically looking for an automatic variant. Could you please guide me on the best choice?

Since you already have an electric MG Windsor, it would be advisable to get a petrol vehicle that can be used for longer journeys as well as the short commutes you mentioned. Among your choices, the Hyundai Venue is a very good pick. Although it shares its powertrain with the Kia Sonet, the Venue is based on a more modern platform. In the HX5 trim you’ve chosen, it comes equipped with most of the essential features, including a 10.25-inch infotainment screen and even a sunroof.A facelift for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza is expected, but the timeline is not yet confirmed. Sources suggest it could arrive around the festive season this year or even early next year. The exterior is not expected to get a radical makeover, but we do expect it to receive the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and 6-speed torque-converter automatic that does duty in the Fronx. If you are willing to wait, it could be a good option.

I am looking to buy a car within a budget of ₹13 lakh (on-road) in Mumbai. My usage will be around 80-90% in the city and 10-20% on highways. The car should be well-equipped with all essential interior and exterior features, offer good comfort for my parents, and ensure low maintenance along with reliable, hassle-free ownership. I may also use it occasionally for long trips. I am specifically looking for an automatic variant and have shortlisted the Honda Elevate V AT. Could you please advise if this is the right choice or suggest better alternatives within my budget?

Your budget rules out the Honda Elevate V CVT in Mumbai (it sits around the Rs 15.5 lakh; check with the dealer for current pricing). But if you are able to get a good discount and stretch your budget a bit, it is definitely worth going for. The Elevate has a peppy 1.5 petrol engine mated to a seamless CVT gearbox, and being a Honda model, it will be reliable and stress-free to maintain. Getting in and out of the Elevate is also easy, and it has a comfy ride quality, which means your parents will be comfortable in this SUV. Being the V variant, it misses out on some feel-good features, but it does get all the necessary features. However, if you want to stick to your budget strictly, consider the Maruti Brezza. Although it is a smaller SUV than the Elevate, it still has a spacious cabin, a comfy ride quality, and a smooth engine-gearbox combination. Also, being a Maruti, it will be reliable and easy to maintain.

I am looking to buy a vehicle for daily use. It should comfortably accommodate up to four people and be suitable for elderly passengers, with easy entry and exit. Could you please suggest the best options?

Consider getting the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. The Brezza is easy to get in and out of, and it has a comfy ride quality, so your parents should be comfortable travelling in this SUV. It also comes with a refined 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine that offers decent fuel economy and can be had with either a manual or a torque converter automatic gearbox. There's even a CNG option, should your daily running be high. Furthermore, it is a Maruti product so maintaining it will be an easy and stress-free affair.
