Honda Amaze variants

Hi, we have shortlisted two cars but are unable to decide which one to finalise: the Honda Amaze CVT ZX and Hyundai i20 IVT Asta (O). Both my wife and I will drive the car, so we want good rear-seat comfort and space. Our daily usage is around 50km. Of the 365 days in a year, around 65 days will involve highway driving, while the remaining 300 days will be city driving, usually in traffic in Chennai. We are a family of five, with four adults and one eight-year-old child. We have previously owned a Ford Fiesta and Santro Xing, so we are comfortable with both sedans and hatchbacks. Which one would you recommend?

I m driving Honda Amaze 1.5 diesel since 2018 and want to upgrade my car, so which car is best. My yearly running is 15000 km

I own a Tata Nexon AMT 2024 Pure S variant. My mother and I are the ones who drive the car. I like to take it on the highways and hills; my mother uses it for short distances: 80 city, 20 highways But the jerky shifts annoy me, and the visibility annoys my mother; lack of a 360 camera and seat height adjustment further adds to the stress for her Will the Amaze CVT VX variant be a good choice? For both of us, or which compact SUV with automatic transmission is a good choice with visibility and efficiency as well for city drives

I want an automatic car for my daily commute in Pune traffic. My daily running will be approximately 20 km for my office commute, along with occasional long trips on weekends. Considering the increasing ethanol blending and rising petrol prices, please suggest which option would be more practical for my usage. I am confused between Honda Amaze VX CVT and the Hyundai Venue HX6 DCT. I have heard that the 1.0-litre turbo DCT delivers significantly lower mileage than the CVT in traffic conditions like those in Pune.

Hi Autocar Team, I'm a first-time car buyer and have narrowed my shortlist down to these three automatic variants: - Honda Amaze ZX CVT - Tata Punch Accomplished+ S AMT - Skoda Kylaq Signature AT Initially, our budget was around ₹16 lakh, but we've consciously reduced it to around ₹12 lakh because of the uncertainty surrounding the future impact of ethanol blending. We felt that if regulations or technology change significantly over the next few years, we'd be more comfortable having spent less on our first car. I've managed to test drive only the Punch AMT, Amaze manual, and Kylaq Prestige manual, as the automatic variants weren't available. My impressions: Tata Punch Accomplished+ S AMT - Overall, I liked it but felt lag in the starting gear changes. - The seating position, visibility, and 360-degree camera were impressive. - However, I noticed noticeable lag and jerks during the 2nd-to-3rd gear shift, and the pickup felt slow at times. Is this something owners get used to, or does it remain noticeable in daily driving? Honda Amaze ZX - I drove the manual since the CVT wasn't available. - The engine and driving experience felt smooth. - My main concerns were the front seats lacking under-thigh support, the infotainment screen being difficult to see in bright sunlight, and the cabin feeling a bit dated compared to the others. Skoda Kylaq - I drove the Prestige manual. - The cabin quality and overall driving experience felt very good. - Since I couldn't drive the automatic, I'm unsure how the torque converter behaves in city traffic. A bit about our usage: - This will be our family's first car. - Both my parents (50+) will also be driving it, so ease of driving and confidence behind the wheel are very important. - We plan to keep the car for 6-8 years. - Current expected usage is around 50% city and 50% highway, although our usage may increase once we own a car. Considering long-term ownership, reliability, service experience, overall build and quality, ease of driving for first-time drivers, and lower chances of issues over 6-8 years, which would you recommend among these three? Also, if your recommendation is the Skoda Kylaq Signature AT: - Can the infotainment system be upgraded later to include a rear-view camera or even a 360-degree camera while retaining good integration and warranty? - Or is it better to stretch the budget and buy the Signature Plus AT from the start?
