The Honda Amaze CVT VX is a very sensible upgrade from the Nexon AMT. The CVT gearbox is far smoother than the AMT, which will make both city driving and hill climbs much more pleasant. The Amaze also offers excellent visibility, a comfortable driving position and a reliable ownership experience. However, it is a sedan, so you will lose the higher seating position and ground clearance of an SUV, which can be useful on highways and rough roads.Given your usage, a compact SUV with a proper automatic gearbox is a better fit. The Maruti Suzuki Brezza automatic is a strong recommendation here. It uses a 6-speed torque converter automatic, which is much smoother than the Nexon AMT, and it offers excellent visibility, a comfortable driving position and low running costs. But it is on the pricier side.Overall, the Amaze CVT is a good alternative if you are happy to move to a sedan, but if budget permits, the Brezza is the more versatile choice.

For your usage, the Honda Amaze VX CVT is the more practical choice. Your 20km daily commute in Pune traffic means you need a car that is smooth, reliable and easy to live with, and the Amaze’s CVT gearbox is far better suited to stop-start conditions than the Venue’s DCT. The Venue HX6 DCT is a good car, but the 1.0 turbo petrol paired with a dual-clutch automatic of this Hyundai car is not the most efficient setup in heavy traffic, and the gearbox can feel a bit jerky at low speeds. The Amaze’s naturally aspirated petrol engine is also simpler and more predictable in terms of power delivery and mileage. This also helps with long-term ownership, and Honda’s reliability record is strong.On ethanol blending, both cars are E20-compliant and there is no official roadmap beyond E20, so it should not be a deciding factor. Higher ethanol blends will reduce fuel economy, but most cars are built with higher materials tolerances to handle slightly higher blends, should they be introduced. Honda, especially, has been at the forefront of compliance, being among the first brands to introduce E10 and E20 compatibility, well before their official introduction.The only reason to pick the Venue would be if you specifically want the SUV body style, a more feature-rich cabin or a more premium feel, but for your usage the Amaze is the better fit. The Venue HX6 DCT is also far more expensive than the Amaze VX CVT.

For your usage, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire is actually the most sensible choice. Your running is low, your usage is mostly city with occasional weekend trips, and you want reliability, low maintenance, and fuel efficiency. The Dzire is built exactly for this brief. The 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine is smooth enough in everyday use, and the car is light, easy to drive and very efficient in the city. Concerns about the three-cylinder engine are largely overstated. Modern 3-cylinder engines are well balanced and refined at city speeds, and the Dzire is tuned for efficiency and reliability rather than outright performance. In our real-world testing, the Dzire has managed 14.5kpl in the city and 20kpl on the highway. The Maruti Suzuki Swift is essentially the same mechanical package in a hatchback body, so the decision there is simply whether a hatchback or a sedan better suits your needs. The Honda Amaze is a good alternative if you specifically want an automatic. If the Honda Amaze price fits your budget, it gets a CVT, which is much smoother compared to the AMT on the Dzire, but it's not as fuel efficient. In our standard test cycle, the CVT Amaze mileage is 9.94kpl in the city cycle and 16.62kpl on the highway loop. The Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Fronx are both good cars, but they will not be as efficient in the city as the Dzire.Go for the Dzire manual and do not worry about the 3-cylinder engine – it is a well-proven, efficient and reliable package.
