I want a turbo-petrol car, and most of my driving will be on the highway. I’m a bit confused between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza turbo and the Hyundai Venue turbo. Please suggest which one I should buy.

•5m

For mostly highway use, the Maruti Brezza would be our pick. The Venue's light steering doesn't weight up sufficiently as speeds rise, which doesn't inspire confidence. The Brezza also has a more absorbent and composed ride than the Venue. Performance from both cars is good, but the Brezza feels a bit more tractable, with less turbo lag around town.

I am confused between Brezza 1.5 NA Manual and Mahindra XUV 3XO 1.2L turbo-petrol Manual considering that my car will be ideal for 2 weeks and will cover upto 5000km yearly. Please suggest.

Given your usage pattern, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5 petrol makes more sense. Since your usage isn't a lot and the car will be idle for certain periods, you need something that's reliable, easy to maintain and stress free to own, all of which the Brezza is. The Brezza will also be more fuel efficient than the XUV 3XO turbo petrol and it has a bigger boot as well. The Maruti may not be as feature-rich as the Mahindra or have as punchy an engine, but the Brezza makes up for it by being comfortable, fuel efficient and easy to live with. If you do want the punch of a turbo petrol, consider the Brezza turbo which comes with a 1.0-litre engine and feels more peppy than the Brezza 1.5 and it will be more efficient than the XUV 3XO. To top it off, it will be more affordable the than the equivalent Brezza 1.5 version as well.

I am confused between Brezza ZXi manual 1.5L and ZXi manual 1L. Considering 60km of daily driving in partial city area, please suggest which between the two is the best fit for me?

You should consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.0 turbo petrol. In terms of efficiency, both the engines are quite similarly matched but you'll enjoy the peppy midrange of the turbo engine more than the 1.5 naturally aspirated engine. Since you looking at the ZXI variants for both, there will be no difference in features. What really swings the decision in turbo's favour is the fact that it will be around Rs. 1 lakh more affordable (on-road) as compared to the 1.5 NA.

I want to buy a compact SUV (petrol, automatic) under a budget of Rs. 12-13 lakh. Help me decide between Brezza, Venue, Kylaq, XUV 3XO and Amaze (since it is a compact Sedan) considering that the mileage within city should not be less than 13-14kpl.

•22h

Between your picks, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5-litre automatic is your best bet since city fuel efficiency is your main priority. The Hyundai Venue, Skoda Kylaq and Mahindra XUV 3XO all use turbo-petrol engines, which aren't particularly known for their fuel efficiency in the city. That said, achieving your target of 13-14kpl in city driving with any of these cars will require a very sedate driving style.The Brezza also comes with a smooth-shifting 6-speed torque converter automatic, which makes driving in the city very easy. One drawback is that, its interior won't feel as modern as the Hyundai Venue. The Honda Amaze is another good choice, but being a compact sedan, it won't feel as spacious as the Brezza.

I’m a first-time car buyer and I’m confused between the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Delta (Rs 12.7 lakh on-road), the Brezza VXi automatic (Rs 11.4 lakh) and the Brezza ZXi manual (Rs 11.5 lakh). I’m not sure how much of my driving will be in the city and how much on the highway. If I choose the automatic, I’ll miss out on many features that come with the Brezza ZXi and the Grand Vitara Delta. Is it okay to give up those features and choose the VXi automatic?

It is a tricky choice, but we would lean towards the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi automatic. In today's increasingly congested traffic conditions, the convenience of an automatic transmission is something you will appreciate every day. The additional features on the Brezza ZXi manual or Grand Vitara Delta may seem attractive initially, but over the years, the ease of driving an automatic is likely to matter more.The Brezza VXi AT is not poorly equipped either. It gets a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, six airbags, ESP and hill-hold assist. You will miss out on features such as cruise control, a rear parking camera and a sunroof, but some convenience features can be added later through accessories.

What are Mahindra’s plans for an ICE SUV positioned above the XUV 7XO? Specifically, does Mahindra plan to launch any ICE SUVs in the Rs 30-40 lakh bracket?

•3d

Mahindra has not yet confirmed an all-new ICE SUV positioned above the XUV 7XO in the Rs 30-40 lakh bracket. However, there are some interesting developments on its future product roadmap. The company has outlined plans for 10 new ICE models by 2031, including nine new nameplates, with several expected to use its upcoming NU_IQ platform. The Vision X and Vision SXT concepts are among the products to watch, although their final positioning and specifications are yet to be revealed. A more immediate development is the possibility of a strong-hybrid version of the XUV 7XO, which Mahindra is evaluating and could introduce around 2027. This would potentially sit above the current petrol and diesel variants, offering better fuel efficiency and a more sophisticated powertrain. Mahindra is also working on a coupe-styled hybrid SUV, internally codenamed W623, which could arrive around 2028, although its positioning is not yet clear.

Hi team, I’m confused between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi AT and ZXi MT. Both are within my budget and cost the same through the CSD (Canteen Stores Department). I drive around 700-1,000 km a month, mostly in the hills and on highways, with very little city driving. Which one should I choose?

Given your usage, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi manual over the VXi automatic. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is smooth, but it isn't particularly peppy. The six-speed manual makes better use of the engine's performance and gives you greater control on hilly roads, particularly when climbing or overtaking on steep gradients. The torque converter automatic is more convenient in city traffic and relaxed highway cruising, but the manual is better suited to your predominantly hilly usage.There is another option worth considering: the Brezza Turbo ZXi manual. Its 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine produces 110hp and 170Nm, offering stronger mid-range performance and better flexibility on climbs and highway overtakes. Its low-speed response and clutch operation are also quite manageable. We would suggest test-driving both manual versions, but the Turbo would be our pick if performance is a priority.
