Asked by: Navee Non Dec 19, 2025
I am planning to buy an automatic car with a budget of up to ₹16 lakh. My driving will be mostly in the city, and I am confused between the Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, and the new Hyundai Venue. Safety and driving experience are my top priorities. Please advise.
The Skoda Kylaq is the best option here. It has a comfortable ride, the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is very punchy, and the 6-speed torque converter gearbox is smooth and quick too. This Skoda car has also received a 5-star crash test rating from Bharat NCAP, so it should be safe too.
The new Hyundai Venue is a great option too. It's got more features and tech, but it's not as comfortable as the Skoda, and its auto gearbox isn't as smooth. And while it has a lot of safety features, it hasn't yet been tested by any crash test authority. Most of all, though, spec for spec, it's more expensive than the Kylaq, and doesn't feel like as good a value for money.

I am with the Maharashtra police and currently own an old Scorpio. Can I buy the new Hyundai Creta? Please suggest.
Yes, the new Hyundai Creta is definitely something you can buy. It’s the default choice in the mid-size SUV segment and a tried-and-tested product.
However, this Hyundai car doesn’t have the same authority or toughness as a Scorpio, which most police officers appreciate, but it's more user-friendly and easier to live with.

I am planning to buy a new AMT car with a total budget of ₹10 lakh, including insurance and road tax. My driving will be a mix of city and highway use. I travel up to 1,000km. Please suggest a suitable option.
We recommend the Hyundai Exter, a very well-rounded compact car with a refined engine, good features, and the AMT is the smoothest in the segment. The ride and handling are also excellent, and being a crossover, it has good ground clearance too to make easy work of bad roads, both on the highway and in the city. The Hyundai Exter SX variant will fit your budget.

I am planning to buy an automatic car and am confused between the Nexon DCA and Venue DCT; my preference is reliability with good safety, and since I have heard that the Nexon has reliability issues, is the Venue DCT more reliable and which car should I choose?
Indeed, the Tata Nexon doesn’t have the best reputation for reliability. However, the quality and service have improved recently, especially for Nexons made at the Sanand plant, which formerly belonged to Ford.
But it's not just reliability, but the fact that the Hyundai Venue DCT is a quicker shifting and smoother transmission than the Tata DCA or dual clutch automatic.
Besides the Venue, which has recently been updated, feels a lot more premium and plush, and is definitely the better option.

I have been using a Grand i10 Nios for the past five years. I am 6 feet tall and have a family of five, including three children under the age of five. My monthly running is around 1,000km, with about 20% highway usage. I have almost finalised either the Tata Harrier Pure X Dark AT Edition, the Hyundai Creta S(O) diesel automatic, or the Creta N Line N10, which is about ₹50,000 more expensive. All three are priced similarly. I like strong performance, but comfort is not negotiable. Please suggest the best option with justification that can turn my decision.
From a power and comfort standpoint, the Tata Harrier has an edge over the Creta, which is neither as spacious nor as powerful. The Harrier is also the better highway car – it feels solid and planted at speed, and the higher driving position gives you a lot of confidence on longer runs.
In the city, though, its size makes it a bit more cumbersome than the smaller Hyundai Creta, which can slip into tighter gaps and parking spots more easily. If your top priorities are power and comfort, the Harrier, with its bigger cabin and more supportive seats, is the stronger choice. While it is larger, the Harrier can still double as a city car once you get used to its dimensions.

My parents have used a Zen Estilo for the past 13 years and now want to upgrade. The car is used mostly for city driving with occasional long trips. Their budget is around ₹10 lakh. Which car would be most suitable for them?
The Hyundai Venue is a good option for your parents. It is a spacious and comfortable compact SUV that is easy to drive in the city, and its tall stance will make ingress/egress quite easy.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine is smooth and refined, and while it isn't the most powerful, it feels adequate, keeping the Venue's size in mind. Its cabin is well-built, and it is well-equipped too.

I have been using a petrol Hyundai Xcent for the last 10 years and have driven more than one lakh kilometres. I am now planning to buy a new car. My usage is roughly 70% highway and 30% city. I am considering an electric car and wondering if it is the right choice, or if I should stick with petrol. Please suggest suitable options.
If 70% of your driving is on the highway, it's best to stay away from an electric car, as the public charging infrastructure in India is still hit or miss, and that can be stressful on a highway drive. Since in your Xcent you averaged just 10,000km a year, you can stick to petrol.
We suggest you go for the Hyundai Creta 1.5 CVT, which is a popular and proven SUV offering decent highway performance and a smooth drive in the city thanks to a top-notch CVT auto transmission. Also, being an Xcent owner, you are familiar with the Hyundai brand, which is a plus.

Hi experts, I’m planning to purchase my first car with an automatic transmission within a budget of ₹15 to ₹17 lakh for 60% city driving and 40% in hilly areas. I’m confused whether the Honda Elevate with its NA engine and CVT transmission will have enough power to perform well with a full load of 5 adults and luggage in hilly terrain, or if there is another suitable car that fulfils my needs - please advise.
Honda Elevate gets a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which churns out 121hp power and 145Nm torque, which is sufficient power for your everyday use.
Naturally aspirated engines deliver power in a smooth, linear manner and lack the sudden surge experienced in turbocharged units, and that is often mistaken for a lack of performance when compared to turbos. Power won’t be an issue; the real drawback is at the rear, where the central passenger has to contend with a prominent floor hump and a protruding AC vent, both of which eat into legroom and make long journeys uncomfortable. If travelling with 5 is your priority, we recommend you go with the Hyundai Creta.

Asked by: Harshaon Dec 16, 2025
I want to upgrade my car, and my budget is under Rs 10 lakh. I am only looking to buy a pre-owned BS4 diesel automatic or AMT car to avoid issues related to E20 fuel. I am considering a 2019 Brezza AMT. Are there any better suggestions?
The Maruti Suzuki Brezza AMT is a good option to consider. However, since you are looking at a pre-owned model, you can also consider the Hyundai Venue DCT.
The Venue is a good option, and the DCT gearbox is a good match for the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. The only issue is that the DCT is a bit jerky at low speeds, so you will have to take a test drive to see if you are comfortable with it.

Which is the best vehicle type for a daily commute of around 100 km: EV, petrol, CNG, or diesel? We undertake long drives only once every six months. Please help me choose the right car.
Given that your monthly running is quite high, we would recommend you consider an electric car. Most EVs on the market today will easily offer a range sufficient to cover your 100 km a day, and over the course of time, you will definitely save a lot in fuel bills.
However, it is very important to note that you must have access to your own charging at home or your place of work. Relying on public chargers will be difficult, given that you will have to find one vacant and working and then spend your time there.
We are unaware of your budget, but you can consider the Tata Punch EV or the Hyundai Creta Electric, both of which are good choices in their respective segments.
