Asked by: Pendurthi Prasanon Dec 4, 2025
I own a Dzire petrol car and want to replace it with a new petrol car. Please suggest the best petrol car in the โน10-12 lakh range.
Without knowing your exact requirements, it would be hard to recommend one. If you've had a good experience with your Maruti Dzire, it might be worth considering the new-gen Dzire, which comes feature-packed. It also has received a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. Plus, this Maruti car also gets a smooth and efficient 1.2-litre petrol engine that can be had with either a 5-speed manual or AMT auto gearbox options.
If you prefer a hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20 are good options in this budget. As for compact SUVs, there are a plethora of options available like the Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, and more.

Iโm a new driver looking for a premium automatic hatchback within a โน10 lakh budget. Iโve shortlisted the Baleno Zeta AGS, Tata Altroz Creative AMT, and Hyundai i20 Sportz iVT. Considering fuel efficiency, reliability, safety, comfort for long drives, and ease of driving as a beginner, which of these three is the best option?
The Maruti Baleno AGS is a proven, reliable hatchback, which will be the most fuel-efficient option from the bunch. It offers good space, comfort and is likely to deliver a trouble-free ownership experience.
Between the three, it is the best option for a new driver. You could also consider a Toyota Glanza, which is the badge-engineered Baleno, but comes with beige-black interiors.

I am looking to buy my first car as I have just started driving. My main priorities are safety, mileage and comfort. The car will be used mostly in the city and on highways. My budget is around Rs 10 to 12 lakh.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno would be a good first car for you. It fits within the sub-4-meter mark, and that, along with its light controls, will make it easy to drive. The car is also spacious inside for all occupants and has a decently sized boot too.
The ride is good, and the car is stable at highway speeds, and as for safety, it comes well equipped with features like 6 standard airbags, electronic stability program, etc. This Maruti car has also secured a respectable 4-star rating in the BNCAP safety tests.

I am a first-time, amateur driver with a strict preference for an automatic transmission. My budget is up to Rs 10 lakh on the road, but I can stretch to Rs 12 lakh if required. My usage will be very low initially, around 50 to 100 km per month. My priority is low and hassle-free maintenance with dependable showroom service. As a bonus, I would prefer models that offer a 360-degree camera or blind view monitor, as this would greatly help my confidence, though it is not a deal-breaker. Please suggest suitable models.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Toyota Glanza will both suit your requirements well, depending on your brand preference, as they are essentially the same car beneath the cosmetic differences. They are easy to drive, come with a refined 1.2 litre four cylinder engine and a decent AMT automatic transmission. They are fuel efficient, spacious, comfortable for four adults and offer a large boot.
In your budget, you can get the top variants of both models, and they come with a 360-degree camera as standard. While the camera quality is not the best, it is clear enough to help you park in tight spaces.

Hello, Autocar. I currently drive an Alto K10, and Iโm considering upgrading to a Baleno Alpha MT. Is this upgrade worthwhile? Or can you suggest any other good options within โน10 lakh?
Yes, the Maruti Baleno will certainly feel like a big upgrade from your Maruti Alto K10 in every aspect - space, comfort, features and performance. Alternatively, you could also check out the Toyota Glanza, a badge-engineered Maruti Baleno, for its beige interiors, which feel a touch airier than the Maruti's.

Iโm planning to buy a new automatic car with a budget of โน8-9 lakh (maximum). I drive about 250โ300 km per week, and Iโm a first-time car buyer. Please suggest suitable options.
The Maruti Baleno Zeta AGS will be a good option to consider. This version will fit in your budget and has good fuel economy for an automatic. Your high usage, it also has comfy seats, a good ride and a decent feature list.
Adding to the convenience is Maruti's widespread network and low maintenance cost. It is easy to drive in the city, has a practical and spacious cabin and a comfy ride for long drives.

Asked by: Uzairon Nov 25, 2025
I have an offer for a 2024 Grand Vitara Sigma with 3,000 km for Rs 12 lakh. When compared to a new Baleno Delta or a new i20 base variant priced at around Rs 8.5 lakh, which should I buy? Finance is not an issue, and running and usage are also not a concern. Should I buy the used Grand Vitara or a new Baleno/i20? Kindly advise.
The on-road price of a brand new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.5L petrol MT Sigma in many cities is Rs 12.50-13.00 lakh. Simply going by these numbers, Rs 12 lakh for a used 2024 car isn't a good value at all. Sure, the Grand Vitara is a superior car to a Maruti Baleno, but you will need to bargain a lot harder for a better deal.

I want to upgrade my car to an AMT version. I have two choices: the Renault Kiger Evolurio and the Maruti Suzuki Baleno AMT. Could you please choose which is better considering low maintenance cost, fuel efficiency, and safety? My budget is under โน9 lakh.
Considering your requirement, we would suggest choosing the Maruti Suzuki Baleno with the automated manual transmission (AMT) as compared to the Renault Kiger. It has a more powerful and smoother 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine along with a better-tuned AMT gearbox.
In a recent BNCAP crash test, it also scored a decent 4-star rating. Being a Maruti Suzuki car, you wonโt have to worry about maintenance costs, fuel efficiency, or overall ownership experience, as it is among the best in its segment.

I want to buy a new car by exchanging my existing one. My budget is 9 lakhs. I will drive mostly in the city, with highway trips or long drives 4-5 times a year. My priorities are safety, comfort, a good engine and gearbox, reliability, and good after-sales support or service network. I prefer a manual. Since parking in the city is a challenge, I donโt want a very big car.
The Maruti Suzuki Swift is a car that meets all your criteria. Its 1.2-litre engine delivers good performance for the city, the gearbox is very slick to use and, in size, it's not too big either.
Being a Maruti Suzuki, excellent reliability is a given, as is a hassle-free ownership experience. The Swift hasn't been rated on crash safety, but it packs in plenty of safety kit, and there's also comfort in knowing that the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, which is based on the same platform, is a 5-star Global NCAP-rated car.

Asked by: Soumya Sinhaon Nov 21, 2025
I have followed your writing for two decades and now request your advice: Among hatchbacks and crossovers with 1.2 NA engines โ from MS (Ignis, Swift, Baleno, Fronx), Hyundai (Grand i10 Nios, i20, Exter), Tata (Tiago, Altroz, Punch), and Citroen (C3 1.2 NA) โ which is the most fun to drive? I personally feel that the older Swift with its 1.2 K12 engine was best, but with the current Z-series 3-pot engine things are less exciting. Considering performance, is Ignis perhaps the best of the lot now, thanks to its light weight and decent road manners?
The Maruti Suzuki Ignis and Baleno share the 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, which is known for its smoothness, refinement, free-revving nature and fuel efficiency. The Ignis is relatively smaller in size than the Baleno, and with its light controls, will be a touch easier to drive and park in tight spaces.
That said, the new Maruti Suzuki Swift is still an excellent, fun-to-drive option, with a nicer steering (it returns to centre more naturally than the Ignis' unit), and its darty nature. Its 3-cylinder petrol engine is also very good in terms of drivability; yes, it doesn't revv as freely as the 4-cylinder 1.2 unit, but if you don't regularly spin the engine beyond 4000rpm, it'll keep you satisfied.
Do drive the new Swift once, it might just be the one for you.
