I own a 2014 Skoda Rapid Petrol AT, which has done 73,000 km. I’m considering selling it due to multiple issues and switching to a petrol automatic SUV. We are a family of four, and usage will mostly be within Bangalore, with one or two highway trips a month. My budget is ₹15 lakh (on-road). Here are my options: Brezza AT – Sensible choice, but performance and safety are concerns Honda Elevate – Cabin noise is a downside Kiger – Concerned about maintenance Venue – Lacks space I’m not interested in the Nexon or 3XO. Please advise.

You can go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and there’s no reason to be concerned about its safety or structural integrity. The only drawback is that it might feel a bit dull to drive. On the upside, it’s a well-rounded and sensible choice in this segment.

If you're looking for something that feels as solid as your Skoda Rapid, the Skoda Kylaq is also a good option, though it doesn’t feel as spacious as the Brezza, particularly at the rear.

The Maruti Suzuki Brezza price in Bangalore for the petrol automatic variant ranges from Rs 13.81 lakh to Rs 17.28 lakh. Meanwhile, the Skoda Kylaq price in Bangalore for the petrol automatic variant ranges from Rs 13.57 lakh to Rs 17.29 lakh.
