Trending Questions on Honda Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am looking for my second car with a stylish design, best ground clearance, 5-star safety, and top features like Level 2 ADAS, tyre monitoring system, sunroof, large boot, and cruise control. My preferences are Curvv, new Duster, XL6, Harrier, or Toyota cars. Please advise which would be the best suitable option and which variant as well. My usage is about 60% city and 40% highway, with a budget of ₹15 lakh.
None of the cars you have shortlisted have Level 2 ADAS, within your budget of Rs 15 lakhs. Since this is a must-have, you may consider the Tata Nexon, which satisfies all your requirements. It includes a 5-star crash safety rating, ADAS, tyre pressure loss indicator, sunroof, cruise control, and its boot space is quite respectable too. Also, the Nexon feels tough, and its ride comfort is very good for your city and highway drives.
If you are comfortable with sedans, then the Honda City and Hyundai Verna meet all your requirements, and have a much larger boot than all the compact SUVs on sale. Between the two, the Verna feels more modern, and is a bit more refined, too.
I am considering buying the Honda Elevate CVT. I drive approx 10,000 KM a year max. Of this, 90% is in the city and the rest on highways. I understand that the Elevate is not the most popular compact SUV, but my research tells me it may be a value buy. I am not a fan of too many gadgets, as most people never end up using all that they pay for. And the attraction goes off once the car gets a bit old. Hence, I would rather save on frills and focus on reliability, mileage, and safety. What is your take on this car?
I am a 44-year-old male with a right leg disc issue. My budget is Rs 10 to 12 lakh, and my height is 5 feet 10 inches. I will be driving mostly in the city. Please advise whether I should buy an automatic or a manual car.
Hi team, I have been using a Baleno Delta MT for the past 9 years and am now looking to change my car. My preference is a midsize SUV with an automatic transmission. My budget is around Rs 15 lakh. Please suggest a good option.
Hi Autocar Team, I am Neel. I am buying my first car and need suggestions for a non-AMT automatic car with an on-road budget of Rs 10 lakh and Rs 14 lakh. My priorities are safety, mileage and features like a 360-degree camera and cruise control. Kindly provide your suggestions.
I am looking for a mid-size SUV under Rs 17 lakh and have narrowed it down to the Honda Elevate and the new Kia Seltos. Most of my driving will be on highways, and I prefer a manual transmission. Which one should I choose?
I’m looking for a family car with comfort as the top priority. My usage is mostly in the city, with occasional highway runs to the airport. I want something reliable and easy-going. I am considering the Kia Sonet GTX, Hyundai Venue HX10, Honda Elevate ZX, and Kia Seltos HTX(A) IVT. I’m looking for your opinion.
My driving is mostly on highways. I am confused between the Honda City and the Victoris. Please advise.
I want to purchase a new automatic car for city driving with a budget of around ₹15 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
Since you currently have a Maruti Suzuki Baleno, we would suggest you upgrade to something like the Honda Amaze or the Skoda Kylaq. Both cars come in under 4 meters in length and so are better suited to crowded city conditions.
The Amaze's CVT automatic gearbox is smoother than many AMTs that come at this price point. Especially when driven at low, constantly changing speeds in the city and being a sedan. It will feel like an upgrade and offer you more boot space, too, should that be a requirement for you.
If you don't like the idea of a sedan, you can opt for the Skoda Kylaq, which will offer you a higher seating point and better ground clearance. Also, the automatic gearbox on the Kylaq is a torque convertor, which is the smoothest autobox around.
I am planning to buy my first car with a budget of up to ₹10 lakh, although I can stretch it slightly if required. My preferences are an automatic transmission, long-term reliability, less-gimmicky features, and a decent level of safety. I am currently confused between the Honda Amaze and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. Are there any other options I should consider?
The Brezza, on the other hand, feels better to drive thanks to its larger 1.5 litre petrol engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. However, the most affordable automatic Brezza is available only in the VXI variant, which costs close to Rs 13 lakh on road, putting it well above your stated budget.
A more affordable alternative is the Skoda Kylaq in the Signature variant, priced at around Rs 12 lakh on road. The Kylaq is engaging to drive, and its 1.0 litre turbo petrol engine paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic offers smooth performance with enough power for both city and highway driving.
If you want to stay well within a Rs 10 lakh budget, the Hyundai i20 is also a strong option. It is powered by a 1.2 litre petrol engine and comes with a smooth CVT transmission, making it suitable for daily urban use.
