I want to buy a sedan car with a budget of ₹10 lakh. Which car will be better in terms of mileage, power, and a smoother ride?

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire is the most complete sedan that you can get within Rs 10 lakh. It packs in quite a few features, and cabin space is impressive, though rear headroom could be an issue for tall passengers. 

What also works in the Dzire's favour is its peppy and efficient 1.2-litre petrol engine. Good ride comfort rounds off the package.

If you are looking for an automatic sedan within Rs 10 lakh and you value smooth gearshifts, consider the Honda Amaze CVT. The CVT gearbox is much smoother than the Dzire's AMT.

Please suggest the best car within a budget of Rs 20 lakh. My key requirements are fun-to-drive performance, ventilated seats, wireless charging, auto hold and hill assist, comfortable rear seats, a rear HD camera with dynamic guidelines, and a 360-degree camera.

Unfortunately, in your budget, no car ticks all those boxes without compromising in at least one area. The best option would be to increase your budget by a few lakhs and get the Hyundai Creta N Line N10, which offers all the features you are after, as well as a fun-to-drive package, including a potent 160hp turbo petrol engine and a well-set-up chassis. However, if you absolutely must stick to your budget of Rs 20 lakh, consider the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7 Luxury 1.2 T-GDi. You get a potent 131hp turbo petrol engine, a robust chassis that offers good ride comfort and handling, a comfy and spacious rear seat and a good feature set. All you miss out on are ventilated front seats.

Hi, I currently own a Virtus GT 1.5 DSG, which I bought around three years back. I am looking to buy an SUV in the next few months, and under ₹20 lakh. My running is a maximum of 200km in a month. 90% of my travel is within the city.

For your limited usage, most of which is in the city, a petrol automatic SUV makes the most sense. There are several options within your budget, but the new Kia Seltos and the Tata Sierra stand out.The Kia Seltos HTX with 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and DCT combination sits within your price range and comes with features like ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a power-adjustable driver’s seat and a Bose sound system.The Tata Sierra Adventure+ with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and automatic is an alternative, though it is slightly more expensive than the Seltos. It comes with features like a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera and a reclining rear seat.Do take a test drive of both before you decide.
