My budget is ₹10-11 lakh, and this will be my first car. My monthly driving will be less than 200km. Please suggest a suitable option.
Without knowing other requirements, it is hard to pinpoint the ideal car for you. However, given that you are a new driver, we will give greater weightage to ease of use and hassle-free ownership. Based on body style, here are a few suitable options to consider:
- Hatchback: Maruti Suzuki Swift
- Compact sedan: Honda Amaze, Maruti Suzuki Dzire
- Compact SUV/Crossover: Maruti Suzuki Fronx, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Exter

Asked by: Tushar Kon Dec 25, 2025
Hi, I am currently driving a 2021 VW Taigun 1.0 MT with annual running of ~10,000 KM (60% City, 40% Highway). The car is running fine, but it becomes a pain in heavy city traffic due to constant gear shifting & turbo lag. I am confused between 3 options: (1) Get the cheapest possible city automatic like an S-presso AGS and use it with Taigun, (2) Get a proper AT like Amaze/i20 CVT or Brezza AT and upgrade Taigun after a few years, or (3) Sell Taigun and upgrade to a proper AT SUV. Please suggest.
The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso AGS, which has an AMT thought convenient, doesn’t offer a smooth driving experience because of the way AMTs work - their main weakness is that annoying pause in between gear shifts, which feels quite jerky and causes ‘head nod’, a term that is synonymous with AMTs.
Upgrading to a proper AT leaves you with very few options; some of the ATs are diesels, and the only mid-size SUV petrol AT is the Tata Sierra. Your option of getting a city-centric car, keeping the Taigun for highway driving, and upgrading it later makes the most sense.
The Honda Amaze, with its CVT transmission, makes the most sense as a city car. It is smooth and comfortable, taking the stress out of city driving, whilst the manual 1.0 Taigun is a solid highway car. The Taigun is due for a facelift around February–March 2026, and other new midsize SUVs, including an all-new Creta, are expected around 2027. So yes, hang on to your Volkswagen Taigun and pick up an Amaze for your city chores.

I am having a Honda City ZX 2006 model in very good condition, which has been driven 82000 kms. But nowadays, servicing costs are increasing due to ageing spare parts. Confused whether to retain the car or buy a new sedan, which comes with more features. Meanwhile, I don't want to spend much on a car because it is a depreciating asset. Please suggest a budget-friendly car with good mileage and safety features.
If you are happy with your old Honda City, why not consider the new one? It maintains the same traits of reliability, comfort, fun driving dynamics and a strong engine - all of which have improved considerably since 2006, while also packed with modern trappings and safety features.
If you want to lower your budget further, the Honda Amaze is worth considering. It is just a City in a more compact package and includes features such as six airbags and ADAS. This Honda car has also received a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating.

Asked by: Devendra Samdanion Dec 22, 2025
I have a budget of ₹10-12 lakh and have shortlisted two cars: the Tata Nexon Creative S+ AMT and the Honda Amaze ZX CVT. My monthly driving will not exceed 500 km. Since this will be my first car, I am a bit confused about which one to choose.
The Honda Amaze will offer a better ownership experience for you. Firstly, it's a CVT, which is smoother and much more responsive than the AMT in the Tata Nexon.
It’s lighter and more agile than the Nexon too, which as a first-time owner makes it easier to drive and manouver especially in the city. Being a Honda car, you can expect it to be more reliable and easier to maintain. It’s efficient and fairly spacious too, and for your budget, the Amaze is the right choice.

Asked by: Balooon Dec 22, 2025
I am confused between the Honda Amaze ZX CVT, Honda Elevate ZX CVT, and Hyundai Venue HX10 AT. My main concerns are safety, ease and smoothness of driving, and reliability. I mostly drive in the city with an occasional highway trip once a month or so for vacations. Please suggest a good car among the ones I have listed. Thanks!
The Honda Amaze is a compact sedan, the Honda Elevate is an SUV, and the Hyundai Verna is a mid-size sedan. So, they are quite different in terms of body style and their usage.
The Honda Amaze suits buyers on a tighter budget, and since you’ve shortlisted the Elevate and Verna, we assume your budget is higher and around Rs 20 lakh.
The Hyundai Verna is a well-equipped sedan and works well for city driving. That said, we also suggest you look closely at Elevate. SUVs are generally more comfortable and confidence-inspiring on highways.
The Honda Elevate 1.5-litre engine paired with the CVT gearbox feels smooth and responsive in everyday city use as well. It also offers a large boot, which is handy for weekend trips and vacation luggage

Asked by: Sachin Kumaron Dec 21, 2025
Hi AUTOCAR, I want to purchase the smallest car for solo driving. It should be safe, reliable, comfortable, and equipped with a good engine that performs well. My budget is 10 lakh, and my running will be around 1000 per month. Also, should I go with automatic or manual? Please advise.
Given that you travel extensively, choosing automatic will add to your day-to-day convenience. The Honda Amaze CVT meets most of your requirements well. It is a comfortable car with excellent ride quality, and the 1.2-litre petrol engine offers smooth and dependable performance. The VX petrol CVT variant should also fit within your budget.

Asked by: Rakesh Godon Dec 20, 2025
I currently own a Grand i10 diesel manual, which has been a very good car with excellent mileage. However, I now want to shift to an automatic transmission as most of my driving is in city traffic. My monthly running is around 1,200 km, with an outstation trip once every three months. My budget is ₹13-14 lakh. Please suggest a suitable automatic car. I am confused about whether to choose diesel or petrol.
We can understand that after driving a diesel car, you appreciate the great mileage they offer. However, if you want to switch to a diesel automatic, consider the Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV 3XO diesels, which provide automatic transmissions and are within your budget.
However, both the Tata and Mahindra diesels come with an AMT automatic transmission, which is not very smooth and has a noticeable lag when changing gears. On the highway, you have to plan your overtaking manoeuvres.
If you are not too fixated on diesel, we suggest looking at the Honda Amaze, which has a CVT gearbox that is much smoother for city driving, good enough for the highway, and reasonably efficient.

Asked by: Prof Ramandeepon Dec 16, 2025
I want to buy a car for my wife for city driving of about 300-500 km per month. It must be automatic, safe and reliable. My budget is ₹10 lakh ex-showroom. I am torn between a used Honda Amaze at around ₹7 lakh and a new Amaze ZX CVT. Which should I choose?
The Honda Amaze ZX CVT is a good option for your wife. It is a spacious and comfortable car with a smooth CVT gearbox. The ZX variant is well equipped too, with features like a sunroof, a touchscreen infotainment system, and a rear parking camera.
The Amaze is also a safe car, with a 5-star Bharat NCAP crash test rating. The only downside is that the 1.2-litre petrol engine is not very powerful, and the CVT gearbox can be a bit slow to respond when you need a quick burst of acceleration.
If you are looking at a used car, the Amaze is a good option. However, we would recommend you buy a new car, as the price difference is not very large, and you will get the peace of mind of a new car warranty.

Asked by: Saravanabharathion Dec 16, 2025
I am planning to buy an automatic car with an on-road budget of Rs 10-12 lakh. I am not interested in AMT or iMT options. Safety features are a priority, including a rear defogger. Auto climate control would be a plus if available. I am not interested in three-cylinder naturally aspirated engines or hatchbacks. A good service network is also important.
The best option for you is the Honda Amaze, the ZX CVT variant. It's got a nice powertrain that comprises a 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine and a CVT gearbox. Performance is pleasant, and you'll like the performance on offer. Cabin space is also good for this size of car. The Amaze also packs in auto climate control and a rear defogger, and there is confidence in knowing it has also been rated 5 stars by Bharat NCAP.
Alternatively, you could consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, the VXi AT variant. While it is slightly out of your budget, it's a sensible pick. It's got a smooth 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine and a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The cabin is roomy and practical, while the feature set includes a rear defogger and auto climate control.

I need to change my car and am looking for an automatic petrol model. My monthly running is about 200-300 km in Bangalore city, and my budget is ₹10-12 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
There are a plethora of automatic petrol cars available within your budget. Given your monthly travel is just 200-300km, we will give less weightage to fuel economy and more weightage to driving comfort. As we don't know other preferences, here's a shortlist of the best options by body style -
Hatchback - Hyundai i20 IVT Asta (O), Citroen C3 X Shine AT
Compact sedan - Honda Amaze CVT ZX
Compact SUV - Nissan Magnite Turbo CVT, Renault Kiger Turbo CVT Emotion
