Trending Questions on Maruti Suzuki Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am planning to buy a bigger car which has features, is not underpowered and gives good mileage. Should I go for Hyryder or Victoris Strong Hybrid, or wait for Honda Elevate Strong Hybrid or Duster Strong Hybrid?
Hey I want to buy a family car which is spacious for atleast 5 peoples and comfortable even for long trips. My budget is around 12-13 lakhs. I want a car which is reliable, low maintenance cost and most importantly safe.
The ideal car for your requirement is the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. Thanks to its wide rear seat, five adults can sit in good comfort, and the ride quality is comfortable enough even for long journeys. It is a proven product and, being a Maruti Suzuki, you can expect low maintenance costs and reliable ownership.
There are, however, two caveats. The Brezza facelift is expected very soon, so it may make sense to wait if you are not in a hurry. Also, the current generation of the Brezza has not been crash tested yet, while the previous generation was tested by Global NCAP and had scored a four star rating.
If you want to buy a car immediately, the Mahindra 3XO is another strong option. It comes with a more powerful turbo petrol engine that delivers effortless performance even with a full load. Its wider body makes it one of the best five seater options in the segment. It has also scored a full five star rating in the Bharat NCAP crash tests.
Within your budget, you can opt for the REVX A variant of the 3XO or the ZXi variant of the Brezza.
I have a Duster RXZ 110PS petrol top-end manual transmission. I have completed 49,000 km and am planning to replace it, but my budget is limited as I cannot afford a bigger down payment. With the Duster being an icon, which car would you suggest? My budget for an automatic only is ₹12 lakh.
I need to switch from a diesel Ertiga to a petrol automatic car or SUV. My usage will be around 100 km per month in the city and 2,000 km on the highway yearly. My budget is ₹20 lakh. Please suggest a low-maintenance vehicle.
Hi Autocar Team, we are a family of five and are looking to buy our first car. It will be used for a daily commute of around 30 km, along with long trips of about 1,000 km every three months to our hometown. Please suggest a car under a ₹10 lakh budget. I can stretch it by another ₹1 lakh if required. I am open to spacious hatchbacks as well, apart from mid-range SUVs. I prefer an automatic transmission due to heavy traffic in the NCR.
I own a 15-year-old i10 and am looking for an upgrade. We are a family of five. Most of my driving is on highways, and my annual driving would be around 10,000 km. I am looking for a long-term ownership option that is reliable and fuel-efficient. My budget is around ₹9 to 11 lakh.
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.
There is a steep incline from my parking which my Jimny handles well by crawling up the hill with 1st low or even without engaging 4×4. All other cars have to climb up with strong momentum right from the parking which gives you quite a panicky experience while steering clear of the pedestrians and the blind curve ahead . I have Maruti Swift 2011 model which cannot handle the stress and therefore want to sell it and buy a family suv up to 20 lakhs which can handle the above challenge with Jimny like or near Jimny like confidence. Kindly help me in decision making. Thanks
The main reason the Jimny is adept at handling the slope up is its rear-wheel-drive layout. Unlike the rest of Maruti's model range, the Jimny (like the Gypsy before it) uses a ladder-frame chassis and a longitudinally mounted engine that sends power to the rear wheels. This is in accordance with its AllGrip Pro 4x4 system, which can then engage the front axle on command. However, a rear-wheel-drive layout is inherently better at tackling steep slopes as the weight of the car falls onto the rear wheels when the nose is pointed upwards, and power at the rear 'pushes' the car up the hill.
In a front-wheel drive car like the Swift, the car is trying to 'pull' its way up the hill using wheels that don't have enough traction, hence momentum is required to get it going. While an AWD car like the Maruti Suzuki Victoris will help to an extent, what you want is a RWD car. Our recommendation at your budget is the Mahindra Thar Roxx, which is available at your budget in a decent mid-spec variant. Its combination of rear-wheel drive and strong petrol and diesel engines should make light work of that slope, with enough control to tackle the sharp turn at the end safely.
I am 72 years old. My driving is limited to only about 10 km per day in the city only. My budget is about 6 lakhs. I want to purchase an automatic hatchback small petrol car fit for city driving, and easy to drive with minimal fatigue. Earlier I have never drove automatic car. Please advice which car will be suitable for me. I have little weakness in my right leg.
We would recommend you to consider the Maruti Suzuki Celerio VXI AGS, which should fall within your budget. It is a tall hatchback, with good visibility all around, a light steering, and its petrol-automatic combination is smooth and efficient. Being a Maruti, it is likely to deliver a fuss-free ownership experience.
If you can increase your budget slightly, you could consider the Maruti Wagon R, which will be even easier to enter and exit the vehicle. Being a very popular model, its resale value will be stronger than the Celerio too.
I want to purchase an SUV with a budget of ₹15 to 18 lakh. My usage will be around 80% city and 20% highway. I am confused between the Tata Sierra and the Maruti Victoris.
