Cars with Reverse Camera in India (85)

I have a strict budget of Rs. 12 lakh, and I'm looking for an automatic car, preferably with a DCT transmission in Kochi, Kerala. This will be my first car, and I don't have a lot of driving experience, so ease of driving is an important factor. My monthly running is around 500 km, with about 60% of it being in bumper-to-bumper city traffic. I'm primarily considering sub-4-meter SUVs. A reverse camera is a must-have feature for me, and after-sales service is also important. I recently test drove the Kia Sonet Petrol DCT and really liked it. However, I'd love to hear recommendations for other sub-4-meter SUVs in this budget. I'm also curious about the long-term reliability of DCTs. I've come across reports of jerking and drivability issues in heavy traffic after around 70,000 km. How common are these problems, and should they be a concern given my driving pattern, especially considering this will be my first car?

Hi Autocar India, I recently booked the Maruti Suzuki Brezza LXi Turbo. With a budget of ₹Rs 8–9 lakh, I chose the base variant and plan to add a music system and rear camera later. This is my first new car, and my monthly running will be around 1,000–1,200 km, mostly highway commuting. I chose the Brezza Turbo over the Hyundai Exter HX4 because it offers better value, is a segment above, and suits my highway usage and preference for a higher seating position. I have two questions: First, should I be concerned about the turbo engine with increasing ethanol blending, as some reviewers advise against it? Second, I prefer a simple, low-maintenance car and only need a music system and rear camera apart from the standard LXi features. Can these be installed after a few months in the aftermarket without affecting the warranty, assuming the factory wiring and connectors are already provided? I am open to any other car suggestions that suit my needs if Brezza is not advisable.

I am looking to buy a new AMT car to replace my 9-year-old Hyundai Grand i10. My budget is Rs, 8 lakh (on-road price). I am confused between Maruti Suzuki WagonR ZXi Plus 1.2 Petrol AMT and Hyundai Exter HX3 AMT. The car will also be driven by my father, who is 70 years old. Both cars have a good seating position and offer easy ingress and egress. The WagonR offers better fuel efficiency, even with E20 petrol, along with electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs, rear power windows, and a rear wiper. The Exter, on the other hand, has a more modern design, higher ground clearance, a reverse camera, and driver seat height adjustment. The car will be driven mostly in the city. Which one should I choose?

Hi Autocar team, I'm replacing my 2017 Maruti Baleno Alpha petrol and would appreciate your recommendations. Location - Currently based in Pune - BH registration planned because there is a reasonable possibility of moving to another state in the future (likely Madhya Pradesh or Bangalore or Delhi) Usage - Primarily city driving (90%+) - Occasional highway trips, sometimes very long (up to 1,000 km) - Usually 2 adults + 1 child - Must comfortably accommodate 4 adults + 1 child when required - Annual running currently under 8,000 km, but could increase significantly because there will be two drivers and an automatic car is likely to be used more Drivers - One experienced driver comfortable with any size car - Second driver is relatively new and gets intimidated by judging the front-left corner and vehicle dimensions - Features such as a rear camera have helped significantly in building confidence Budget - Initially started looking around the Rs. 10 lakh on-road mark - Comfortable spending around Rs.14-16 lakh if the improvement in safety, confidence and ownership experience is clearly noticeable - Looking for the best overall fit rather than trying to maximise budget Priorities (in order) 1. Reliability and hassle-free ownership 2. Safety 3. Easy manoeuvrability and confidence in city traffic What I dislike about my current Baleno - Feels flimsy and dents very easily - Doesn't inspire confidence on highways anymore - Braking confidence is not great Preferences - Automatic transmission is mandatory - Open to petrol, hybrid or EV - Dedicated parking is available, and home charging is possible - Mostly good roads with occasional monsoon-related road damage - I value predictable ownership, service quality and peace of mind more than outright performance Test-drive observations We have driven a few hatchbacks and compact SUVs with automatic transmissions. One thing that became clear is that a commanding seating position and a clearer view of the road ahead significantly increase confidence, especially for the newer driver. However, we are still unsure whether this benefit alone justifies moving up from a hatchback to an SUV. Long-term thinking Initially, I thought a small hatchback would be ideal because I could pass it on to my parents after 3-5 years. However, if a slightly larger vehicle provides substantially better safety, comfort and confidence, I would rather keep it for 5-10 years and buy my parents a separate car later. Question Based on the above requirements, what would be your top 5 recommendations and in what order? More importantly: - Which body style would you choose: premium hatchback, compact SUV, midsize SUV, hybrid SUV or EV? - Which popular models would you eliminate despite their popularity, and why? - How much weight should I give to reliability versus crash safety when choosing a family car that will mostly be driven in the city but occasionally undertake long highway trips? - Am I likely to regret staying with a hatchback, or is moving up a segment the more sensible long-term decision for my use case?

Hi Autocar team, I need your help in choosing an automatic family car that is reliable, safe and builds confidence in a new driver. I am planning to replace my 2017 Maruti Baleno Alpha petrol as it feels flimsy and dents very easily. Further, it no longer inspire confidence on highways and its braking confidence is also not great. I would appreciate your recommendations for another car. I am currently based in Pune and have planned for BH registration because there is a reasonable possibility of moving to another state in the future (most likely among Madhya Pradesh, Bangalore or Delhi). I will be primarily using it for city driving (90%) with occasional highway trips that may be very long (up to 1,000 km) sometimes. I usually travel with 2 adults and 1 child. I am looking for a car that can comfortably accommodate 4 adults and 1 child whenever required. My annual running is currently under 8,000 km, but it could increase significantly because there will be two drivers and an automatic car is likely to be used more. There will be one experienced driver who is comfortable with car of any size. Second driver is relatively new and gets intimidated by judging front-left corner and vehicle dimensions. I am looking for features such as rear camera that can help in significantly building confidence. I want to first look for a car in Rs. 10 lakh on-road mark but am comfortable with spending around Rs. 14 to 16 lakh if the car offers more safety, confidence and better ownership experience. I am looking for the best overall fit rather than trying to maximize budget. My priorities are reliability and hassle-free ownership, safety, easy maneuverability and confidence in city traffic. I value predictable ownership, service quality and peace of mind more than outright performance. I am comfortable with either petrol, hybrid or EV car with automatic transmission. EV seems interesting because I have a dedicated parking and home charging is possible. My area has mostly good roads with occasional monsoon-related road damage. We have taken test-drives of a few hatchbacks and compact SUVs with automatic transmissions. One thing that has became clear to me is that commanding seating position and a clearer view of road ahead significantly increase confidence, especially for the newer driver. However, we are still unsure whether this benefit alone justifies moving up from a hatchback to an SUV. Initially I thought a small hatchback would be ideal because I could pass it on to my parents after 3-5 years. However, if a slightly larger vehicle offers better safety, comfort and confidence, I would rather keep it for 5-10 years and later buy my parents a separate car. Based on the above requirements, what would be your top 5 recommendations and in what order? More importantly, which body style would you choose among premium hatchback, compact SUV, midsize SUV, hybrid SUV or EV? Which popular models you will not choose despite their popularity, and why? How much importance should I give to reliability versus crash safety while choosing a family car that will mostly be driven in the city but I make take it occasionally for long highway trips? Also, will I regret staying with a hatchback, or moving a segment up, the more sensible long-term decision for my use case?
