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, and I need good mileage. I travel up to 1,200 km per month. Please suggest a suitable option.
We would recommend the Hyundai Exter for several reasons. Firstly, it's the best AMT in its class and has less ‘head nod’ because the typical interruption of power between gearshifts is the least of all AMTs. The ride and handling are quite good, and the Exter feels quite planted for its size on the highway, whilst in the city it’s nice and manoeuvrable. Lastly, it has a well-equipped cabin that makes the most of the space.

Hi Autocar team, I am an amateur driver looking to buy my first car. I am planning to buy an automatic (AMT) car with a budget of ₹11 lakh in Bangalore. I will be driving this car 85% of the time in bumper-to-bumper city traffic. I am confused between the Toyota Glanza and the Hyundai Exter top variants. My top priorities are ease of driving for a new learner and decent city mileage. I know each car has its strengths, but which one do you think I should choose?
My Wagon R has run 70,000 km in 3 years. I now want to buy a new car. Please suggest a car that offers good mileage and comfort. I am 6 feet tall, and my budget is Rs 10 lakh.
My parents (both 62) want to replace their old Spark with a new car. Requirements: automatic transmission, high ground clearance, good mileage, a refined engine, and reliable service. They’ve shortlisted the Tata Exter (4-cyl) and Tata Punch (3-cyl). Their concerns are the Punch’s 3-cylinder engine and service, and the Exter’s lack of body-safety ratings. They prefer a compact, easy-to-handle car (not bulky). Budget is under ₹10 lakh on-road. Any other recommendations?
As you've mentioned, the Hyundai Exter is the smoother and more refined car of the two, thanks to its four-cylinder petrol engine.
Its transmission is also relatively more seamless, and overall, Hyundai cars have a better reputation for their sales and support network too.
Other options you could shortlist are the Maruti Fronx or Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor 1.2 petrol AMT.
Please advise me on replacing my existing Santro Xing with a new automatic car. I am 66 years old and drive around 500 km a month.
I drive about 300 km weekly on the highway and 150–200 km in the city. I need a car with better mileage than the Ignis, good comfort, strong safety, and ample boot space. I’m open to CNG but not electric. My budget is ₹10-12 lakh. What do you advise?
The CNG Hyundai Exter would be a good option for you. The CNG setup consists of dual tanks that fit under the boot floor, thus you will still have a usable boot.
The seats are a bit firm, and the cabin is narrow, so if space and comfort are also very important, you can look at the Tata Nexon CNG. It too has a dual CNG setup below the boot floor, and the cabin is roomier than the Exter. The ride too is comfy and well composed at highway speeds.
I am looking to buy a petrol automatic car with a budget of up to ₹8 lakh. I travel about 90 km daily in heavy city traffic (Gurgaon–Noida). Is the Hyundai Exter a good option, or can you suggest a better alternative, as mileage is a priority? I’m not interested in cars as small as the Celerio.
The Hyundai Exter is a good all-rounder and will be a nice upgrade from your existing Maruti Wagon R. However, considering you drive a lot in peak traffic, an automatic would be ideal, so you could consider stretching your budget for the automatic version of the Exter.
However, if you want to stick closer to your 8 lakh budget, consider the Renault Kiger 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine. The automatic version would be only slightly above the 8 lakh mark, but you will get a car that is compact enough for the city, spacious inside, and has a good ride.
In both cases, the gearbox will be an automated manual (AMT), so there will not be a significant mileage difference compared to the manual versions.
