Ground clearance is a valid concern, but we don't think it should be a deal-breaker. The new Toyota Camry has a quoted 145mm ground clearance, which doesn't sound like much on paper. However, in our road test, we found that it cleared most speed breakers without scraping, and its suspension does an excellent job of absorbing sharp potholes and broken roads.That said, you'll still need to exercise some caution on Bengaluru's larger speed breakers and deep potholes, particularly when the car is fully loaded. Approaching such obstacles at an angle and at low speeds will help avoid scraping the underbody.

With a family of four, a budget of Rs 10-12 lakh, an annual running of just 3,000km, and this being your first car, we'd recommend sticking to a petrol SUV rather than an EV or a hybrid. At such low running, you'll find it difficult to recover the higher purchase cost of either.Our top recommendation would be to wait for the updated Maruti Suzuki Brezza, which is set to debut later this month. It is expected to get a refreshed design, more features and mechanical updates while retaining the qualities that have made the Brezza such a dependable family SUV.As for your concern about ethanol blending, we wouldn't let that influence your purchase decision. While there is discussion around higher ethanol blends in the future, there is currently no confirmed roadmap beyond E20, and modern petrol cars are already engineered to handle it.

Without knowing your annual running, it's difficult to recommend the ideal fuel type. However, for a mix of 50% city driving, 50% open roads and occasional trips to the hills, we'd lean towards a strong hybrid or a refined petrol automatic.Our top recommendation would be the Maruti Suzuki Victoris Hybrid. It fits within your ₹20-25 lakh budget, offers excellent fuel efficiency in city traffic, is smooth and refined to drive, and remains comfortable on long highway journeys. It also has a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating, making it a very well-rounded family SUV.If you'd rather have a conventional petrol SUV, we'd recommend the Kia Seltos Petrol IVT. It offers a refined naturally aspirated petrol engine, a smooth IVT automatic, a premium cabin and a comfortable ride. It is equally at ease in city traffic, on the highway and during occasional hill drives.If you enjoy driving and don't mind slightly higher running costs, the Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI Automatic is another excellent option. Its new 8-speed torque-converter automatic is smooth in traffic, while the turbo-petrol engine performs well on highways and in the hills.
