Dear Team, I want to buy an SUV. As of now, my current driving is around 3100 Km, but there are chances it can be reduced to 800-900 Km per month or max 1000 km. Kindly suggest which SUV best suits me. My last driven car is the Hyundai Grand i10 Asta (O).

This is a tricky one because your monthly running is expected to reduce significantly, and that changes the ideal choice of fuel.

If you continue to cover around 3,100km a month, we'd recommend the Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG. It will offer the lowest running costs, and with the facelift expected to launch in July, it may be worth waiting for the updated model. If you don't want the inconvenience of refuelling at CNG stations, the Hyundai Venue Diesel Manual would be our alternative. Your current running is high enough to justify a diesel, and it should prove to be efficient and economical over the long term.

However, if your running settles at around 800-1,000km a month, we'd move away from diesel or CNG and recommend a petrol SUV instead. In that case, the Skoda Kylaq Petrol Automatic would be an excellent choice. It offers a refined turbo-petrol engine, a smooth torque-converter automatic, excellent driving manners and is well suited to lower annual running.

Go for Venue because if you re not in NCR, diesel has no issues of blending as of now and is likely to remain so. Brezza with cng refilling headache every 180km outweighs hassle plus on long run you spend 15 minutes on lower side every 160~170km or so in refueling. Kylaq is a good vehicle but issue is ethanol blended petrol. In humid conditions probability of bad fuel is high. Keep in mind, you have to drive diesel on highways for not running into dpf issues, only con.
