You don’t have to sell the Figo yet. If it’s healthy, keep it 1-2 years more; parts and service are still fine, and depreciation from here is slow. The Rs. 2.75 lakh offer is fair for a 2019 petrol at 65k km. Try direct sale or multiple portals and aim closer to Rs. 3 lakh-plus if the car is clean.Pick the VW Taigun 1.5 if you upgrade now, because it’s the only one on your list that truly feels like a step up from your Figo for daily drives and relaxed highway runs. The 1.5 is punchy, and the steering and body control make city and highway drives enjoyable. One honest catch: the automatic can feel a bit hesitant in crawl; the manual is more fun if you don’t mind a clutch. The Honda Elevate is nice, but it isn't as enjoyable as the VW/Skoda SUVs.With 500-600 km a month in the city and about 2,000km a year out of town, an EV like the Nexon EV won’t pay back quickly unless you have cheap home charging and your running shoots up.Go petrol. Don’t stress about E20/E30 - the VW-Skoda 1.0/1.5 are E20-ready, and should not pose issues if and when E30 is rolled out.

Given your requirements, a compact SUV would be a good next car for you. The higher seating will put the new driver at ease and will have a great bearing on confidence behind the wheel. Your priority for space, reliability and stress-free ownership leads us to the Maruti Suzuki Brezza AT and Hyundai Venue DCT. The Brezza is a no-nonsense compact SUV with good space, proven reliability and a practical interior. Your comfort and experience with Maruti's aftersales make it the one we'd recommend for you. You'll get a similar hassle-free experience with Hyundai as well. The new Venue ticks the important boxes for you, but it is pricey at the top end, in case the latest features are a must-have. The Venue's turbo-petrol engine does deliver punchier performance than the Brezza, but fuel economy isn't as good. If you want a larger SUV, there's the Honda Elevate CVT. However, the new driver in the family might not feel as comfortable driving it, given its size. If the hatchback form factor suits you, the Hyundai i20 CVT is a very likeable choice. Among EVs, the Punch EV is an option, but your running doesn't really justify going electric. You'd rather spend similar money on a larger or better-equipped petrol-automatic car.

Both are great choices, but between the two, we would lean towards the Kia Seltos 1.5 petrol MT. The main reason is that it is a much larger, more spacious and more comfortable SUV, which makes it a better bet for a family. It also has a smoother and more refined powertrain, which will make your highway drives just that little more peaceful. Plus, it has a higher-quality interior, and though you aren't looking for features specifically, it does have the more up-to-date tech. Do note, however, that the engine is not as powerful as Honda's, and, combined with the added weight of this car, it doesn't feel as strong or effortless, particularly when overtaking on the highway.The Honda Elevate is a nice, no-nonsense midsize SUV with a rock-solid engine that makes a solid 121hp. The cabin is smaller, you'll hear some road, wind and engine noise inside at highway speeds, and it's not quite as comfy, but on the other hand, it's great fun to drive, more so than the Seltos. That said, as a family car, the Seltos feels like the better all-rounder for you.

Of your shortlist, it comes down to the Honda Elevate, Maruti Suzuki Victoris/Grand Vitara, or Toyota Hyryder, and finally the Kia Seltos.The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is simply not practical enough for the money, and its ride isn't suitable for touring. The Sierra's 1.5 NA petrol is its weakest engine, and the diesel is expensive, and between the Creta and Seltos, we'd pick the newer Seltos as it is more modern, larger and more spacious. And though we would recommend using the official service outlets, if you are interested in servicing the vehicle yourself, the naturally aspirated petrol manual is the best bet. The good news is that all these cars will fall comfortably within your budget, too.The Maruti and Toyota SUVs are superbly reliable and incredibly efficient, though rear-seat space is not as good as the others. The power figure is not great either, and though sufficient in the city, for your highway touring use, you might feel it wanting slightly.The Kia Seltos' 1.5-litre petrol engine produces slightly more power, but the vehicle is also heavier, so it does not feel dramatically quicker on the highway. It is larger than the others, though, offering noticeably more cabin space, better interior quality and a stronger feature list. While it costs roughly Rs 1.5 lakh more in higher trims, you do get more for your money.In terms of outright value, though, the Honda Elevate strikes the best balance. It is more spacious than the Maruti/Toyota, cheaper than the Seltos, and has the most powerful engine, which is also fuel-efficient and legendarily reliable. The 1.5-litre i-VTEC remains tractable at low speeds as well as strong enough on the highway. It is also backed by solid ride and handling dynamics. Downsides are that refinement isn't as good as the others, and even in top-spec guise, the feature set is not as good, though you do get the essentials. We would recommend the Honda over the others for your needs.

The Kia Seltos 1.5 Petrol IVT would be the recommendation here. Since you've enjoyed the refinement and smoothness of the Amaze's petrol engine and CVT, the Seltos feels like a natural upgrade. The IVT automatic is smooth in city traffic, the cabin feels significantly more premium and the higher ground clearance means you won't have to worry about scraping the underbody or damaging the oil sump on rough roads. It also offers a comfortable ride and a much more feature-rich cabin than your current car.If you'd prefer to stay within the Honda family, the Honda Elevate CVT is also worth considering. It offers excellent ground clearance, a comfortable ride and Honda's reputation for reliability. However, compared to the Kia car, the engine and transmission combination doesn't feel quite as refined, and the cabin lacks the premium feel and feature-rich experience of the Seltos.

Your choice of a Linea suggests that you enjoy a fun-to-drive sedan. If that is the case, then consider the Skoda Slavia or Volkswagen Virtus with the 1.0 TSI automatic combination. The smooth torque-converter automatic makes city life easy, and the engine has enough performance for highway driving too. Under the skin, both sedans are largely identical, so choosing between them comes down to which design you prefer and which brand has a more convenient service centre near you. Alternatively, the updated Honda City is a solid choice that is easy to live with and a good long-term proposition. If you want to move into an SUV, consider the Kia Seltos 1.5 IVT or the Honda Elevate CVT. Both are solid choices for long-term ownership and feel spacious on the inside. An SUV will also be easier to get in and out of, and the elevated driving position makes it easier to manoeuvre in the city.

The Skoda Kushaq or Volkswagen Taigun 1.0 TSI Automatic would be the top recommendations here.Since your usage is predominantly on highways, the strengths of these two SUVs align very well with your requirements. Both feel stable and confidence-inspiring at higher speeds, offer comfortable ride quality and have strong safety credentials. Their turbo-petrol engines deliver a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency, while the new 8-speed automatic transmission should further improve efficiency and drivability. They also represent a substantial upgrade over the Wagon R in terms of refinement, comfort and long-distance cruising ability.Another strong option is the Honda Elevate CVT. It may not feel as sporty or engaging to drive as the Skoda and Volkswagen twins, but it excels in comfort, reliability and ease of ownership. The naturally aspirated petrol engine is smooth and proven, while maintenance costs are likely to be among the lowest in the segment.

From your shortlist, we would pick the Honda Elevate V manual. For a growing family with two elders, its higher seat, wide door opening and upright rear bench make getting in and out easy, and it has good interior space and a big boot for luggage on trips. The smooth, reliable and strong 1.5 naturally aspirated petrol and manual are proven, and should be relatively hassle free for 8-10 years, and it has good ground clearance too.The next best option is the Syros, whose space efficient design gives it surprising room for a sub-four-metre vehicle. Ingress and egress are good too, which will be helpful for your elder passengers, and the HTK+ variant will get you more features than the Elevate V. However, its engines, while stronger, aren't as smooth or hassle free as the Honda's 1.5, and will cost more in maintenance over time. Plus, its suspension and ride quality are quite firm, which will be bothersome over time.The Fronx and Amaze are excellent vehicles in their own right, but for a family of four, they just don't offer as much space and practicality as the others, and thus we'd skip them. All things considered, the Honda Elevate V MT suits your needs best.

Consider the Hyundai Venue HX5+ with the 1.2 petrol manual. It fits comfortably in your budget, has a spacious and comfortable back seat and gets features like rear AC vents and a rear window sunshade. If you'd like, and even a roomier rear seat, the Kia Syros is a great choice, but it only comes with the turbo petrol, which will be slightly less fuel efficient.Stretching your budget to Rs 14 lakh gets you options from the midsize SUV segment. Among these, the Kia Seltos and the Honda Elevate 1.5 petrol manuals are strong choices. The will be roomier than the Venue, with more comfortable rear seats, and will be relatively fuel efficient in the city. However, your budget will get you the lower-end trims, which may lack some features. Alternatively, you could consider the Honda City.Overall, for your budget, the Venue is a great fit.
