Considering your daily running of around 80km, we would actually suggest opting for a CNG car to keep running costs down. The Hyundai Exter CNG is a good option, but it is available only with a manual gearbox. This is where the Tata Punch CNG AMT makes a lot of sense, as it combines lower running costs with the convenience of an automatic, which should reduce the stress of driving in Chennai traffic. This car also feels solidly built, has a comfortable ride and offers adequate performance. If you are open to a hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno CNG AMT is another option within a similar budget. This Maruti Suzuki car offers more cabin space and the convenience of a CNG automatic, although you will have to compromise on the SUV stance and the Punch's higher seating position.

Stick with the Exter CNG, you liked its easy drive, light clutch and smooth shifts - that matters every single day in traffic. You also already have a good experience with Hyundai’s CNG with your Aura and so you can expect much the same experience with the Hyundai and keeping it healthy to 3 lakh km is realistic without surprises. The Nexon CNG is tempting for comfort and looks and yes the ride is better too, but Tata Motor's dealer network quality varies a lot from city to city and with your plan of keeping it for quite a few years and clocking 3 lakh kms you will need a good proven dealer support which may not be the case with the Tata dealer in your area. Go with the Nexon only if you are absolutely confident of the dealer reputation, else stick with the Exter.

With 40 km a day and mostly highway, from your list, the Tata Nexon diesel fits best. It will use less fuel on long runs, feel more relaxed at 80-100 kph, and give easier overtakes with family and luggage. Your mix has enough highway, so the diesel’s exhaust filter should stay healthy. As a fuel type, CNG is cheap to run, but for 60% highway, it can feel slow, and needs more planning for refills. Better for mostly city use.Maruti Suzuki Victoris petrol will be simpler to own and should be reliable, but on highways with a full load, it will use more fuel than the Nexon diesel. Also consider the Hyundai Venue diesel, which is available with a smooth 6-speed auto. Overall, from your choices, the Nexon diesel lines up best.

Choose the Tata Nexon Smart (petrol manual). Within your budget for a car under Rs 10 lakh, it balances rear space, a 382-litre boot, and five-star safety for calm, stable highway cruising. Since you’re not a frequent user and most drives are on highways, the turbo-petrol setup suits you better than CNG and keeps the full boot usable. If you still prefer CNG, the dual-tank setup does retain a large part of the boot. The Nexon’s ride feels planted at highway speeds, and both the front and rear seats are more comfortable over long distances than most hatchbacks.If you prefer a simpler, naturally aspirated engine, then consider the Hyundai Venue 1.2-litre MT HX4.On your test drive, seat three adults in the rear and do a quick 80-100kph run to check stability and cabin noise.
