I want a comfortable, fuel-efficient car under 10 lakh for my wife for normal city driving and occasional long drives.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno or even its sister car, the Toyota Glanza, would be a good option to buy. The car is spacious with comfy seats, and it is fuel-efficient too, both the manual and the automatic version (AMT).
In our standard test cycle, we got 13.80kpl and 17.50kpl in our city and highway cycles for the manual, whereas the automated manual transmission (AMT) achieved 11.86kpl and 17.21kpl.
The Baleno sits below 4 meters in length and is compact enough for the city. However, if you would like something smaller, consider the Hyundai Exter. It won't be as efficient, in the manual we got 9kpl and 14kpl for city and highway runs, but this is still good. Also, you will also benefit from a slightly higher seating position and a lower price.

Iโm planning to buy a car. Iโm a 37-year-old man and feel confused about which option would be both safe and comfortable for city driving as well as occasional highway use. Iโm looking for an automatic variant, with a budget of up to โน8-9 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
Almost all cars today are equipped with basic safety features like ESP, along with ABS with EBD. It helps prevent an accident in the first place, and these also have 6 airbags to protect the occupants in case of a collision.
Hence, as far as safety features go, most cars have you covered. That said, if you're looking for an automatic vehicle with an excellent 5-star BNCAP crash test rating within your budget, the Maruti Dzire AMT is the one to go for.
The engine is smooth and refined, and even the AMT (automatic) is relatively smoother than many other options at this price. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, and it drives well on the highway, too.
Alternatively, you could consider the Maruti Baleno or Toyota Glanza, both of which are 4-star BNCAP-rated vehicles.

I am a first-time car buyer and completely new to driving. I want to purchase a car within a budget of 10โ12 lakhs for mostly city driving and occasional long trips. In the future, I may move to a tier 2 or tier 3 city based on my job. Please suggest whether I should purchase a manual or automatic (AMT/CVT/TC/DCT) as my first car, and suitable car models.
If you are a new driver, choosing an automatic transmission will be comfortable and convenient for city driving. Since most of your usage is in urban conditions, you can choose either Maruti Suzuki Fronx Alpha AT or the Hyundai Venue HX6 DCT.
Both are reliable and easy to maintain. Fronx makes more sense if you plan to move to a tier-2 or tier-3 city. Maruti Suzuki has the widest service network and easy availability of spare parts, which adds to long-term peace of mind.

I am 65 years old and will be superannuating from service soon. My current car is chauffeur-driven. I am now looking for a comfortable automatic car for city use that I can drive myself, with occasional long trips of up to 300 km. My budget is โน8 lakh on-road. Please suggest suitable options.
There are quite a few automatic options within your budget. However, we'd narrow the list down to models with high seating, which are more convenient to get into and out of. The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R would be the first model we'd recommend for you. Its high seating, excellent visibility and airy cabin are aspects you will appreciate. This Maruti car is easy to drive, and the brandโs hassle-free ownership is a plus in its own right. Opt for the AMT gearbox with the more powerful 1.2-litre petrol engine.
Within the Maruti line-up, you could also look at the Ignis AMT, though ride comfort is a bit harsh. Other alternatives with high seating include the Nissan Magnite AMT, Renault Kiger AMT and Tata Punch AMT.

I want to buy a seven-seater family car with a budget of around โน15 lakh. Which one should I choose? Iโm not a big fan of the Ertiga.
We'd suggest you check the Kia Carens Clavis. It's a very well-packaged MPV that offers good space for seven passengers. The Carens Clavis also feels superior to the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga in its cabin quality.
The base 1.5-litre petrol offers reasonable performance, but if you will drive on highways often, you should consider the stronger turbo-petrol whose added performance counts for a lot. Do note, your budget will allow the standard 1.5-petrol in higher HTK trim and the 1.5 turbo-petrol in lower HTE(O) trim. Features that you get on the HTK but not on the HTE(O) include auto climate control, front parking sensors, and LED DRLs, among others.

I want to buy a new SUV. Which is better, the Brezza or the Grand Vitara? Also, which transmission is better: manual or automatic?
While the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Grand Vitara essentially belong to different segments, there is a price overlap. Without more details, we assume you are considering like-priced models of the duo. From the Grand Vitara line-up, that means the standard 1.5-litre petrol engine, which, incidentally, is shared with the Brezza.
While the larger Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara does have a more upmarket air about it, we'd feel that opting for a better-equipped version of the Brezza would be a better use of your money. For reference, for the same money that you could get a fully-loaded Brezza ZXI Plus, you'll get a mid-spec Grand Vitara. The added features on the Brezza do count for a lot and your experience with the car.
What also strengthens the Brezza's case is that, despite being a smaller vehicle, it feels airier than the Grand Vitara at the back. In terms of performance, there is little real-world difference, since both models use the same engine.
If you live in a city and drive often on congested roads, an automatic would be the one we'd recommend. That said, manual gearbox versions of the Brezza and Grand Vitara are easy to live with too, thanks to their light clutches and smooth gearshifts.

Asked by: Samaron Dec 30, 2025
I have a budget of โน11 lakh. Is the Honda Amaze VX CVT a good option in terms of ride quality and reliability?
The Honda Amaze is a strong option, thanks to its polished and premium CVT automatic, which makes it very easy and pleasant to drive. Although the Amaze is a newer model, it uses the same tried-and-tested engine and gearbox that Honda has offered for years, and this setup has proven to be dependable and reliable.
The ride quality is good as well, though this is where the Maruti Suzuki Dzire has a slight edge. The Dzire feels more pliant over bad roads, whereas sharper bumps are felt a bit more inside the Amazeโs cabin, especially by rear seat passengers. That said, it is not a deal breaker.
We would recommend taking a proper, long test drive with your family before making the final decision.

Hi Team, we are a family of five with a monthly usage of around 1,000 km, of which nearly 90% is city driving. I am confused between the Hyundai Venue HX8 1.0 turbo-petrol DCT and the Maruti Grand Vitara Smart Hybrid Alpha Optional manual. The price difference between the two is around โน1 lakh after current offers. Please suggest a better option.
The Hyundai Venue, with its turbo-petrol engine and dual-clutch transmission, is more fun to drive and offers stronger performance along with the convenience of an automatic gearbox. So if your daily usage includes a lot of stop-and-go traffic, this could be a deciding factor for you. This Hyundai car is also equipped with a better audio system, and its relatively smaller size makes it a touch easier to park as well.
The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, on the other hand, offers light controls and a refined yet responsive 1.5-litre petrol engine. Its 5-speed manual gearbox is among the best in the segment. It also feels a touch more adept while dealing with bad roads, and its overall ride quality is better.
Yes, you are getting a larger car that's a bit more mature, but you are also paying more. So if you don't mind spending that extra amount, and you're willing to sacrifice the convenience of an automatic, go for the Maruti car.

Asked by: Adil Hussainon Dec 29, 2025
I am looking for a compact suv near 14-15 lacs. But can't decide . Initially I thought among Brezza, Venue and Sonet. Now I am seeing every car has some or the other shortcomings. I need a 5 seater comfortable car, automatic which will mostly be for city use and sometimes long drives with family. Should I consider the upper segments car like Elevate and Seltos but again budget will be high. So I am quite confused.
Given your budget, you should stick to the compact SUV segment, as you will only get a base model of a midsize SUV in this budget. Of course, any product will have its shortcomings, but the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Kia Sonet, and Hyundai Venue are all good options in the compact SUV space.
The Brezza is the most spacious and practical of the lot, and it also has a good ride quality. The Kia Sonet is a great car too, but it's not comfortable for five, and its suspension is quite stiff. The Hyundai Venue is the newest and a good all-rounder, but expensive for higher variants.
We would recommend the Hyundai Venue HX8 1.0 Turbo Petrol DCT in your budget as it is a great combination of features, safety, and comfort, and would best meet your needs.

I want to buy a car. I am a 36-year-old woman and am confused about which car would be safe and comfortable for city as well as occasional highway use. I am also unsure whether I should opt for a manual or an automatic. My budget is up to โน8 lakh. Please suggest.
You should look at the Maruti Suzuki Swift. It's an easy-to-drive car whose compact dimensions make it city-friendly. Performance is pleasant, while the light clutch and smooth gearbox mean even the manual gearbox version is convenient to drive.
However, if you often drive on congested roads, the AMT auto is worth a look. It's not the smoothest kind of automatic gearbox, but it sure beats having to modulate the clutch over long, bumper-to-bumper commutes.
