I plan to buy an SUV, which I’ll use for frequent out-of-town trips. My budget is up to Rs 15 lakh and I’ve shortlisted the Hyundai Creta and Ford EcoSport. Which one should I go for? Also, please let me know if there’s a better option within the budget.

AAA The EcoSport is a good choice for city commuting and if you are self driven. It’s a really nice car to drive with excellent ride and handling and good performance. However, the Creta is overall a better choice as it feels more premium, has better interiors and is very refined too. The Creta is a size bigger as well and hence offers greater passenger space and a larger boot.

The RS6 has so much grunt, it just keeps going, well past 200kph.

The 565-litre boot can easily accommodate four full-size suitcases with room left for some more!

All four seats hold passengers in comfort even at supercar-like speeds.

Poll of the month

There will be 12 new Citroen and Jeep launches by 2030. Will this boost interest in these brands?

Yes, fresh models is just what's needed.
Only if sales and service expands alongside.
Won't be enough. Established brands are too strong.
