•3dI’m looking for a compact mini SUV or a small car with a petrol automatic. My daily usage is under 25 km, and my monthly usage is under 1,000 km. My budget is a maximum of Rs 6 lakh, and my priority is the best fuel economy.

The Maruti Alto K10 VXI AMT is the only one that fits your requirements.It suits your use because the car is small and light, so the 1.0 petrol delivers excellent fuel efficiency. In our experience, this Maruti 1.0 engine paired with the AMT is among the most fuel-efficient petrol automatics you can buy. It is also simple to own, with low service costs and a wide dealer reach, which will make your ownership experience stress-free. Do note the trade-offs. The back seat and boot are small, on rough roads it can feel a bit bouncy, and it's not best suited to highway duties.If you really want a taller, mini SUV look, the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso VXI AMT is the closest match, but in many cities, its on-road price will cross Rs. 6 lakh.

•6dI want to buy a small car with AMT. My budget is 6 lakh. Please advise.

City use on a tight Rs 6 lakh cap, and you want an automatic that shifts on its own, in that case, the Maruti Alto K10 VXi (O) AT is the one that fits best. The automatic is smooth as far as AMTs go, and it makes stop-start traffic easy without pushing the price too high. The engine feels lively at city speeds, so you do not have to work it hard to keep up. It also uses less fuel in daily use, and Maruti’s wide service network keeps upkeep simple and affordable.As for the trade-offs, the back seat and boot are small, so it is best for one or two people. Also, the AMT has a brief pause when it changes gears, so shifts are not as smooth as a costlier full automatic, though you get used to it quickly.If you prefer a higher driving position and can stretch a bit, check the Maruti S-Presso VXi (O). In some cities, it may cross Rs 6 lakh on-road, so confirm local prices. Overall, for mostly city driving at this budget, the Alto lines up best with what you want.

•3wI’m looking to buy my first car. Usage is 90% city and 10% highway. Budget under ₹5 lakh.

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 VXi (O) MT as it fits your requirements.At roughly 3.5 m long with a tight turning radius, it will be ideal for driving in congested city traffic and will fit into small parking spots. As a first-time buyer, you’ll appreciate the light steering and clutch in stop‑and-go traffic and being a Maruti car, you'll also appreciate the stress-free ownership experience it comes with.The one thing you give up is high‑speed composure. Above about 90kph, it feels light and gets noisy, so highway stints are best kept calm and brief. If you prioritise stronger crash safety or expect more highway runs later, consider a well‑kept pre‑owned 2021-22 Tata Tiago XZ instead. It scored 4‑star adult protection in NCAP tests.

•5wSuggest a good automatic car petrol within 6 lakh.

Unfortunately, you don't have too many automatic options within Rs 6 lakh (on-road). Your options are Maruti Alto, Maruti S-Presso, Renault Kwid, and thanks to some on-going discounts, you could even manage to get a Celerio VXi AMT, which is the nicest and most premium option among the ones listed.

•6wI am looking for a small automatic car primarily for city driving. My priorities are a low price and good fuel efficiency. Could you please suggest the best options available?

Autocar India
Unfortunately, given your tight budget of Rs 6 lakh, you don't have too many options. Choose between the Maruti Alto and the Maruti S-Presso, both of which come with the same 1-litre petrol engine mated to a 5-speed AMT automatic gearbox. Both are also fairly similar in terms of fuel efficiency, with the Alto returning a claimed 24.90kpl while the S-presso is said to do a marginally higher 25.3kpl. Maruti Alto AT prices range between Rs 5.53 lakh to Rs 6.07 lakh (on-road Delhi), while S-presso automatic prices range between Rs 5.31 lakh and Rs 5.85 lakh (on-road Delhi). Alternatively, dealers will be offering discounts on models like the Maruti Celerio and Renault Kwid, so you could even consider those.
