Asked by: Sharwan Kumar I want to add a new vehicle to my family. Since I drive very occasionally and do not take frequent highway trips, I would prefer sticking to petrol. I want a good 6 or 7 seater within Rs 20 lakh. I prefer a no-nonsense vehicle with low maintenance, good tech, no sunroof, comfortable seating and a reliable service network. I do not like Maruti, Jeep, Mahindra and Tata. Please suggest a good vehicle. Go for the Kia Carens Clavis 1.5 petrol. It is a spacious, practical and comfortable seven-seater, with an overall no-nonsense approach.You might want to consider one of the lower variants, which don't have a sunroof but have other goodies like LED lights, touchscreen, etc. Asked by: Bharat I am a first-time, amateur driver with a strict preference for an automatic transmission. My budget is up to Rs 10 lakh on the road, but I can stretch to Rs 12 lakh if required. My usage will be very low initially, around 50 to 100 km per month. My priority is low and hassle-free maintenance with dependable showroom service. As a bonus, I would prefer models that offer a 360-degree camera or blind view monitor, as this would greatly help my confidence, though it is not a deal-breaker. Please suggest suitable models. The Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Toyota Glanza will both suit your requirements well, depending on your brand preference, as they are essentially the same car beneath the cosmetic differences. They are easy to drive, come with a refined 1.2 litre four cylinder engine and a decent AMT automatic transmission. They are fuel efficient, spacious, comfortable for four adults and offer a large boot.In your budget, you can get the top variants of both models, and they come with a 360-degree camera as standard. While the camera quality is not the best, it is clear enough to help you park in tight spaces. Asked by: Rishabh I am looking to buy a second small car for Mumbai city for my wife. She is a new driver and will use it mainly for local commuting with my child. I want an automatic. My budget is up to Rs 10 lakh, and I am looking for something very compact and practical. I liked the MG Comet, but found it very overpriced and could not find any substitute for it. I also considered the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso, but could not get over the looks of the Comet. Any suggestions would be helpful. An electric car, especially the MG Comet, is a great option for Mumbai, especially considering your wife will only drive it in the city, and with only your child as a passenger. Its biggest advantage is its ultra-compact size, which makes it incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to park in the smallest of spaces. Plus, it has light controls and plenty of pep, and is surprisingly spacious for its tiny size.Do note, however, that the range from the small battery is not great, and it is best to have a charger installed at home. If you can get past its unconventional look, the MG Comet is in many ways the ideal city car.However, if you want something more conventional, the Tata Tiago EV is available at a slightly higher price. Asked by: Prasad Hello. I currently drive a 13-year-old Honda Brio and am planning to buy a new mini-SUV or SUV with a ₹20 lakh on-road budget. My monthly running will be about 1,000-1,500 km. Which fuel type is better for long-term ownership - petrol, hybrid, or electric - and which models should I consider?
