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.
