I am 32 years old and have three other family members. I am planning to buy my first car and am confused between the Hyundai i20 and the new Hyundai Venue. Please suggest which one to pick, and also recommend a suitable trim. My budget is close to ₹11-12 lakh. I would prefer an automatic. The car will be used mainly for commuting and occasionally for long trips. Thanks.
We have a Hyundai Grand i10 manual purchased in 2017, which my son currently drives. We now want to purchase an AMT car and are considering the Hyundai Exter, Maruti Suzuki Baleno, or any other option you may advise. Body strength, safety, and a comfortable AMT are our key priorities.
Hello Team I own a pre owned Grand i10 AT and planning to buy a new car. My driving will be in the city and only 10 % would be on highways. My budget is 10-12 lacs and short listed Venue HX 5 DCT Sonet HTK Plus iMT Kylaq Presitige AT My thoughts are driving to Sonet as it looks heavy and it has Matte Grey colour, as black is my favourite. Also I like the way Venue looks and TSI engine of Kylaq Kindly suggest me the best choice.
Considering you already own a Hyundai, the most familiar and natural upgrade would be the Hyundai Venue DCT in the HX5 variant, especially when compared to the Kia Sonet. The Venue has just been updated, whereas the Sonet is expected to be replaced by an all new model early next year. Buying the Sonet now means it will start to feel dated very quickly.
Also, the DCT automatic gearbox on the Sonet is not available within your budget. It starts only from the HTX variant, which is priced well above Rs 13 lakh. While your shortlisted HTK Plus iMT variant does offer more features than the Venue HX5, the iMT gearbox does not feel as convenient or as stress free as a proper automatic transmission. Additionally, with the new generation update, the Hyundai Venue has grown in size and is noticeably more spacious than the Sonet, especially for rear seat passengers.
The Skoda Kylaq is another strong option to consider. If driving enjoyment is important to you, this is the car to pick. It offers enough space for four adults to sit comfortably, and its ride and handling balance makes it genuinely enjoyable to drive. You can opt for the Kylaq automatic in the Signature variant, which is also better equipped than the Venue HX5.
My budget is around ₹24 to 26 lakh, and I am confused between the Hyundai Creta and the new Tata Sierra.
I am planning to buy an SUV in the ₹15 to 18 lakh range in petrol version and am confused between the Skoda Kushaq, Maruti Victoris, and Hyundai Creta.
I’m planning to buy a new car in the subcompact SUV segment. My usage is quite low, and I prefer an automatic transmission. My budget is between 15 and 20 lakh. The car will mainly be used as a family vehicle for driving within Mumbai city, with occasional highway trips once every couple of months. I’m considering the Hyundai Creta S(O) Petrol IVT, for which I’m getting a discount of ₹80,000. Do you think this is a good deal, or should I consider other options?
I have a usage of around 1000 km every month. Majority of it is in city approx 80%. I have selected Kia seltos HTK O, Tata nexon CNG, Hyundai Venue. But confused in these 3. Can you advice?
For around 1,000km of monthly running, a petrol SUV would suit your needs well. Since nearly 80% of your driving is within the city, an automatic will be far more convenient than a manual.
The Kia Seltos is the largest and most spacious SUV in this comparison, while the Nexon and Venue are both sub-four-metre SUVs. The Seltos HTK (O) variant is a tempting option, but it misses out on a few features you might expect at this price point. Automatic climate control, a 360-degree camera and ventilated seats are not offered. Also, the 1.5-litre petrol engine feels a bit underpowered compared to the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol available on the Venue HX 8, which fits within the same budget.
The Venue also offers a stronger feature set overall and if value for money is important to you, it is the better buy.
The Nexon CNG fits within the budget and will be the cheapest to run. However, you will have to deal with long waiting times at CNG stations, especially in the city where most of your driving will be.
If you want a spacious SUV with a smooth driving experience, the Kia Seltos HTK (O) with the CVT gearbox is a good choice. But if you want the maximum number of features and are willing to compromise slightly on rear seat space, the Venue is the one to go for. The Nexon is worth considering only if fuel efficiency is your top priority.
Planning to upgrade from Kwid. My budget is max 15L. Occassionally go for outstation. Monthly commute is less than 1000 km. For 4 members family with grown up kids please suggest reliable and performance oriented to keep next 10 years. In Future planning to go outstations also...every 3 months.
Considering you plan to keep the car for a long time and want something that is both performance oriented and a good family car, we’d suggest the new Hyundai Venue.
Since you’re based in Bangalore, the 1.0 litre turbo petrol with the DCT automatic makes the most sense. Within your budget, you should be able to consider the H8 variant, which is well equipped and feels premium.
The turbo petrol engine gives the Venue effortless performance, and the DCT gearbox manages both city traffic and occasional highway drives well. The new Venue is also larger than the older model, and it offers enough space for four adults to travel comfortably. Importantly, this engine and gearbox combination has been in use for several years in Hyundai cars, so it is a proven and reliable powertrain.
If you want even more space than the Venue, you can also look at the Kia Syros. It is roomier on the inside, similarly priced, and gets the same turbo petrol DCT combination. The only caveat is that the ride quality of the Syros isn’t as comfortable as the Venue.
I am looking for a 5-seater automatic SUV for city use of around 800-1,000 km per month, with two outstation trips per year of about 400 km each. My budget is ₹15-17 lakh. Please advise.
My monthly driving is around 2,000 to 2,500 km, with 60% on highways and 40% in the city and on countryside roads. I usually travel alone, but occasionally with family. I currently drive a 2013 Swift ZXi that has covered 1.3 lakh km. I am considering a sub-4-metre, five-seater car with enough space for a child seat, good mileage, and strong safety. I am not in a hurry and can wait if needed. Should I opt for a diesel now, or wait for a strong hybrid such as the upcoming Fronx? My budget can be stretched to ₹15-16 lakh.
