Trending Questions on Maruti Suzuki Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
Within a budget of around โน12 lakh (could extend some), I want to buy a petrol manual car which is fun to drive, reliable and will not be so heavy on my pocket for fueling and maintenance. My monthly usage is around 400km, mostly city and occasional road trips. Which car will you suggest?
Please suggest a good 5-seater NA petrol car with safety first, fuel efficiency, comfort, good handling and better ride quality.
My 80% running is in the city, approximately 60 km daily. I want a smooth gearbox, a smooth engine and reliability. I am confused between the Maruti Brezza petrol manual and the Hyundai Creta petrol manual.
My wife has recently started learning to drive and is looking to buy her first car, which she will primarily use for daily office commuting (around 40-50 km per day). She prefers a petrol automatic car with a relatively high driver seating position. Since this will be her first car, I am inclined towards a Maruti Suzuki model, unless a Hyundai option makes a very strong case. We are currently considering the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10, Maruti Suzuki Celerio, and Maruti Suzuki Ignis (we are not considering the WagonR). Among these, the Celerio and Ignis seem like better options, but we are slightly concerned about the possibility of them being discontinued in the near future. We would also consider the Maruti Suzuki Swift, but we are a bit apprehensive because it is a slightly larger car for a beginner driver. Our budget is โน6-9 lakh on-road. Which of these cars would be the best choice for her needs?
The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is the best option for your wife. Its compact dimensions make it easy to manoeuvre, and the relatively high seating position gives a good view of the road, aiding confidence behind the wheel. A peppy engine and the convenience of AMT also help its case. The Ignis is a bit firm in its ride comfort, though.
Maruti Suzuki has not announced plans to discontinue the Ignis, though the model has been around for a while. Even in the case of the model being discontinued, you will not have trouble with service support and parts availability for years to come.
I want to buy a 7-seater car for my family, but the budget is โน10 lakh. Most of the run is in the city, sometimes on the highway. I want space, but the interior should not feel cheap or compromised.
I currently own a Hyundai Xcent, which I purchased in 2015, and it has covered around 42,000 km so far. My driving is almost entirely in bumper-to-bumper city traffic (about 95%). I am now planning to buy an automatic car, preferably a sub-4 metre SUV, to make daily driving easier. My daily usage will be around 40โ50 km in heavy city traffic. Considering these requirements, which automatic sub-4 metre SUV would you recommend?
For bumper-to-bumper traffic, the Maruti Brezza 1.5 Petrol 6AT is ideal. The engine-gearbox combination is smooth, and it feels peppy within urban confines.
Also, the 6-speed torque converter is more suited for the constant stop-go usage than other transmission types like AMT or DCT. If you need something even smaller than the Brezza, you can consider the Nissan Magnite 1.0 Turbo CVT, which is another great option for you.
Hi, I am planning to buy my first car. Previously, I used my family car, a Maruti Ciaz, for 10 years. I am looking for an automatic, fuel-efficient car with low maintenance. My driving is 70% in the city and 30% on the highway. My budget is around โน15 lakh. For family comfort, could you please help me with this?
I have booked the Hyundai Creta Knight IVT Dual Tone, but Iโm still unsure whether itโs the right choice or if I should have considered alternatives like the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara or the Kia Seltos. However, Iโm not particularly fond of the new design elements of the latest Seltos. The factors that matter most to me are value for money, good resale value after 5-6 years, long-term reliability, and comfort for family use. My monthly driving will be less than 1,000 km. Given these priorities, is the Creta Knight IVT a good choice, or would the Grand Vitara or Seltos have been a better option?
The Hyundai Creta King is a good choice. It is a well-rounded SUV that offers a comfortable ride, a spacious cabin, and a refined petrol engine. The IVT (automatic) is smooth and responsive. Being a popular model, you can expect good resale value in the future.
The Grand Vitara is also a good option, but it is not as spacious as the Creta. Hence, long distance comfort could be hampered.
Before I begin, I would like to thank Autocar for always offering sensible and well-informed advice to its readers. I have been an Autocar India subscriber since 2002. As per your earlier advice, I am considering the 49 kWh battery version of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara for my monthly usage of around 900 km in Bengaluru. For longer journeys, I already own a Toyota Hycross Hybrid, so the EV will primarily be used for city driving. My main confusion is regarding the performance difference between the 49 kWh and 61 kWh battery versions. I recently test-drove the 61 kWh variant and drove it for about 20 km, and I must say it was a joy to drive and handled very well probably the best-handling Maruti I have experienced. However, I am concerned whether the 49 kWh version, which comes with a smaller motor, might feel noticeably less powerful or subdued in performance compared to the 61 kWh version, even though the torque figure is said to be the same for both.
Thanks for being a loyal subscriber.
As you've rightly mentioned, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara gets two versions 144hp/189Nm motor with a 49kWh battery, and the other is 174hp/189Nm motor, 61kWh battery. The common factor between the two versions is the 189Nm motor torque, which makes it zippy.
Of course, being more powerful, the larger battery version is likely to hit higher (three-digit) speeds more quickly, but within town (up to speeds of 60-70kph), the difference between their acceleration is likely to be negligible.
So opt for the 61kWh version only if you need more range, else as a city commuter, the 49kWh version's performance should be more than sufficient.
I am considering buying a used 2022 Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Alpha Plus Strong Hybrid that has done around 66,000 km and is available for โน16 lakh. The car will also require a tyre replacement. My expected running will be around 2,000 km per month, with 80% highway driving and 20% bumper-to-bumper city traffic.
The top-spec Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Alpha Plus is well-equipped, and the extremely efficient hybrid powertrain will be ideal for your usage. The asking price of Rs 16 lakh for a 2022 model with 66,000km on the odometer is on the higher side. We would recommend you negotiate the price down to around Rs 14 lakh.
Also, you need to factor in an additional Rs 30,000-40,000 (depending on the brand you opt for) for a new set of tyres. Since your usage is primarily on the highway, we'd advise you to replace the tyres immediately after taking delivery.
