Trending Questions on Maruti Suzuki Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
Which car should I buy with a budget of around ₹15 lakh if I want a petrol manual variant with a panoramic sunroof, good safety and mileage, and should I wait for the Kia Seltos 2026 or choose between the Toyota Hyryder and Grand Vitara, considering I can stretch my budget by only Rs. 50,000?
If ₹15 lakh is a strict budget and a sunroof is a must, we suggest you consider either the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder or the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. With year-end offers currently available, you can negotiate and secure a good deal.
The new Kia Seltos is an attractive option as well, but at this price point, the variant you get may not include a sunroof, and the Seltos is not particularly known for fuel efficiency. That said, if you are keen on the updated Seltos, it may be worth waiting for the price announcement on 2nd January.
I am looking to purchase a new car for my wife’s office commute, and driver use with a budget of ₹5 lakh, focusing on reliability and decent safety features, without any fancy extras since our Kia Syros is already fully loaded; which car should I choose?
If you want to buy a new car, you can buy the Maruti Suzuki Alto VXi. It is a reliable car- called Lord Alto for a reason, and now it gets 6 airbags for safety. You can also look at pre-loved cars, which will increase your options in terms of price.
Also, now there are many organised players in the used car segment, which give great service and peace of mind.
I currently own a Wagon R CNG, but I want to move to a comfortable 7-seater car for my family with low maintenance costs. Usage will mainly be within the city for office commuting, along with some outstation trips.
I currently own a 2016 Ford Figo diesel manual with around 62,000 km on the odometer. My annual usage is about 8,000-10,000 km, mostly in bumper-to-bumper Mumbai traffic, with occasional highway trips two to three times a year. Given the traffic conditions, I am considering switching to an automatic. However, after test-driving a few petrol cars, I felt they lacked the torque and handling I am accustomed to in the Figo. Should I retain my current car for a few more years or upgrade to a new one? If upgrading, please suggest an SUV that offers strong performance with decent mileage.
If you are happy with the Ford Figo and it is running fine, you could hold on to it, however it will get progressively difficult to maintain it. Thus, if you can change it might be a good idea to do so now.
Consider the Maruti Suzuki Fronx / Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor. The car will feel similar in its fun-to-drive character to your Figo, and you could opt for either the turbo or the naturally aspirated engine.
The 1.0 litre turbo will be more peppy and fun to drive but given that turbo's are very sensitive to driving style, you will likely see real world efficiency figures than quote. In this regard, the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine will be better, though at a lower performance level.
Test drive the two and see which you prefer.
I currently own a 2019 Ecosport Diesel with approximately 50 km daily mileage. It has covered around 2 lakh km in 5 years, averaging 18 kmpl. I’m looking to purchase an automatic car with good mileage, preferably above 15 kmpl. My budget is between 15-25 lakhs. I’m short-listed for the XEV9e, Creta, Creta Electric, and Be6. However, I’m unsure about the reliability and resale value of EVs. I’m also speculating about the average mileage of the Creta. Please suggest.
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?
I am currently using a Maruti Suzuki Swift (2013 model) and would like to upgrade to a sub-4m car. I prefer a diesel engine, and my budget is under Rs 16 lakh. My monthly driving is around 500-600 km, mostly on highways. Kindly suggest two options.
For a first-time user, which is more suited between my shortlisted Skoda Kylaq Manual and the Toyota Fronx AMT?
The choice between an automatic and manual will really be down to your comfort levels.
If you are not confident about driving a manual or have a lot of traffic to deal with, then an automatic would be better. In this case, pick the Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT; the shifts will not be as smooth as a torque converter unit. But at least you won't have the hassle of changing gears yourself.
If you can stretch your budget, opt for the 1.0 litre Turbo Fronx, which comes with a torque convertor automatic gearbox, or you can also opt for the Skoda Kylaq automatic, which also has a torque convertor and the lower variants would be a bit cheaper.
I am planning to buy an automatic car with an on-road budget of Rs 10-12 lakh. I am not interested in AMT or iMT options. Safety features are a priority, including a rear defogger. Auto climate control would be a plus if available. I am not interested in three-cylinder naturally aspirated engines or hatchbacks. A good service network is also important.
I want to upgrade to a seven-seater, but I am confused between a new Triber or Ertiga, and a used XL6. My usage is mostly in the city with occasional highway trips. My priorities are low maintenance and good mileage. Please suggest. Also, I would like to know what good automatic car options are available under Rs 8 to 9 lakh. Thank you.
