The above car was bought by my father. We are now looking for a new car with a budget of up to ₹14 lakh. He lives in a village in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. All male family members are close to 6 feet tall. We are looking for safety, comfort, and low maintenance. We have shortlisted the Victoris, Creta, the new Venue, or any option from Mahindra.
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris would be a natural upgrade from your Wagon R, especially since in remote areas, where Maruti’s widespread service is a significant advantage. The Victoris is reliable, well-built, and offers a smooth drive, which should satisfy your father.
The only possible deal breaker is the rear seat space, which is less spacious by mid-size SUV standards, especially in terms of headroom. This could be a problem for tall family members, especially if everyone is travelling together.
Please take a test drive and make a point of checking the cabin space before making the purchase. A slightly more spacious alternative is the Hyundai Creta, which is also a tried-and-tested model. The Hyundai Venue is too cramped, and the Mahindra options are larger but not as user-friendly.

I currently own a Tata Nexon XZ+ petrol manual. My daily run is about 20km. Additionally, I travel around 350km fortnightly to my parents' place. After the introduction of E20 fuel, mileage has dropped from 13-14 kmpl to 10-11 kmpl. I am planning to upgrade to a hybrid. Based on my running, could you suggest the best options below 20 lakh?
We would suggest opting for the Maruti Suzuki Victoris ZXi variant, as it falls just under Rs 20 lakh on road in Vadodara, where you are based. The Victoris is very well priced, and even though the ZXi is a mid-spec variant, it comes well-equipped with all the essential features.
More importantly, in terms of Victoris' mileage, you can expect over 20 kpl not just in the city but on the highway as well, which is almost double what you are currently getting with your Tata Nexon.
Do note that this Maruti car does not come with a spare wheel as standard and instead gets a puncture repair kit, with a space saver spare available as an optional extra. The boot space is also slightly compromised due to the hybrid battery mounted under the boot floor.

My daily running is 60km (50% highway and 50% city). I am confused between buying a Hyundai Creta diesel or an EV. My budget is ₹20 to 22 lakh. Please suggest.
The Hyundai Creta diesel is a strong option for your needs. The 1.5 litre engine is refined, offers a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency, and suits highway heavy usage well. The Creta is also spacious and comfortable for long drives.
Within your budget, you could also consider the Maruti Suzuki Victoris Hybrid. It will be significantly more fuel efficient than the Hyundai car and is a very cost-efficient choice for your running. The only downside is the smaller boot, as the battery pack eats into luggage space.
An EV is another sensible and cost-effective option, especially if you have home charging. In your budget, you can look at the Vinfast VF6 or the Tata Nexon EV.

Asked by: Ravi kumaron Dec 23, 2025
I plan to purchase a car next June with a budget of up to ₹17 lakh on-road. Should I choose the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Tata Sierra, or the new Kia Seltos?
Without knowing further requirements, it is hard to recommend the ideal pick for you. However, we feel the New Kia Seltos will be the best pick in your budget.
Prices will only be announced on January 2, but assuming a reasonable increase over current model prices, you should be able to get a decently equipped model within Rs 17 lakh. The Seltos has the edge over the other two with a far superior naturally-aspirated petrol engine. The Seltos also scores for space.
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris is a sensible package and is good value. However, the dull engine and relatively small cabin mark it down. Tata's Sierra is the roomiest of the three options, but versions within your budget miss many features that you'd expect.
The bigger issue is that the Sierra's 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine feels underpowered, and performance is disappointing.

Asked by: Vijayon Dec 21, 2025
I am planning to buy my first new car with an automatic transmission and expect to drive around 20,000 km annually for the next 10 years. It will be mainly used in Mumbai’s bumper-to-bumper traffic with daily office commutes of about 80 km, weekly family outings, and occasional long trips. I am also considering the future risk of diesel restrictions like those in Delhi NCR. While I like the Victoris' strong hybrid top trim, the rear seat comfort is a concern for my family. Although I find the Syros, Kylaq, and 3XO top trims comfortable. I am unsure about their long-term cost effectiveness - which option would be the right choice for me?
Firstly, we don’t think you should worry about diesel restrictions on new cars in Mumbai. The current diesel engines are quite clean, and if there is a ban in the future, it will only be the older diesels that will be taken off the road.
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris hybrid would have been a good choice. But as you said and we have pointed out too in our tests, the boot space is compromised because of the hybrid batteries, and the rear seats are not very spacious.
The other cars you have listed are all turbo-petrol petrol, so they won’t be economical and will burn a hole in your pocket if you drive 80km every day. Since you have shortlisted some compact SUVs, we suggest you look at the Hyundai Venue diesel. It has just been launched, so it's very fresh and will age well over a 10-year lifecycle, and the diesel engine is very efficient and keeps your running costs under control.

Asked by: Ananton Dec 18, 2025
Dear advisor, I am looking to purchase a new SUV with a budget of approximately ₹17 lakhs. My usage is roughly 500 km per month, primarily within city limits, with occasional highway trips. I am looking for a vehicle that is robust and trustworthy, offering a balance of decent mileage and good boot space for luggage. I specifically prefer an automatic transmission, ideally a Dual-Clutch (DCA/DCT) or a Torque Converter (TC). Given my requirements, could you suggest 3 specific value-for-money models?
Considering your requirements, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris will be a good fit. Within your budget, you can choose either the VXI AT or the ZXI AT if you want more features.
It is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which is more than adequate for city use. The torque converter automatic is smooth and should deliver decent efficiency as well. The boot is well-shaped and deep, making it easy to accommodate even larger suitcases. Being a Maruti Suzuki car, it should also prove to be reliable and easy to own in the long run.
If you want something smaller but more feature-rich, you could consider the new Hyundai Venue. It gets a peppy 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. Within your budget, you can opt for the top HX10 trim, which is loaded with premium features such as a Bose audio system, Level 2 ADAS and ventilated front seats.

Asked by: Daksh Agrawalon Dec 16, 2025
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.
Unfortunately, your worry about the resale value of an electric car is correct. The battery is the biggest cost in EVs, and there is no effective way for second-hand car buyers to judge the battery health; hence, they sell at a discount.
Instead, you can go for Maruti Suzuki Victoris strong hybrid, it will give you good mileage and will be in your budget too.

Asked by: Yuvrajon Dec 14, 2025
I am looking to buy an SUV with a budget of up to Rs 22 to 23 lakh. My must-haves are a minimum 3-star safety rating, excellent suspension, at least 13 kmpl fuel efficiency with a 60% city and 40% highway usage pattern, the ability to pre-cool or pre-heat the car before entering it, and a fuss-free ownership experience.
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris hybrid seems to fit the bill. It has been awarded 5 stars by BNCAP for its crashworthiness. Ride comfort is excellent, and it handles well, too. And with the hybrid powertrain, you can expect excellent fuel efficiency, significantly higher than 13kpl (average).
It also gets an option to pre-cool or pre-heat the vehicle, and being a Maruti Suzuki car, the ownership experience is likely to be fuss-free. Alternatively, you may consider the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder hybrid or Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara hybrid, which share the same platform and boast of similar strengths.

Asked by: Himanshu Singhalon Dec 14, 2025
My wife doesn’t like the comfort of the Jimny - the seats hurt her back and neck, and she dislikes the bouncy ride on highways. She wants to sell it and get something like a Creta or an Innova for comfort in the city and smooth highway drives. I want a vehicle that can handle 4x4 duties (winter Spiti trips) and take a beating. Is there a car that can strike that balance, ideally under ₹25 lakh? We drive in the city about 75% of the time and take highway trips 25% of the time.
Yes, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny is very adept off-road, thanks to Suzuki's All-Grip Pro 4X4 system, which also features a low ratio. However, it does feel bouncy on regular roads - just like most 4X4s. Thus, we would recommend you look at the all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara / Toyota Hyryder or the Maruti Suzuki Victoris.
These SUVs use Suzuki All-Grip Select, which does not have a low ratio but has a Snow mode and also allow you to lock AWD. For the winter Spiti trails, this should suffice. Moreover, these SUVs will be far better in terms of ride comfort in the city and on the highway.

Asked by: Mohanrajon Dec 12, 2025
I am buying my first car with a budget of Rs 10 to 12 lakh, which can be stretched to a maximum of Rs 13-14 lakh. My usage is around 40% city and 60% highway, with a daily running of about 100 km, mostly on highways. I also do a long drive of around 500 km once a month. We are a family of five, and I am looking for an SUV with safety, mileage, and maintenance as my top priorities. I have evaluated most compact SUVs and some midsize SUVs, but am unable to make a clear decision. Please suggest the best options along with exact variants.
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris is a good option for you. The car is a good all-rounder that will satisfy you on the highway as well as the city streets with an easy and comfortable drive. The Victoris will also deliver well on your requirements of mileage, maintenance, and safety with a good equipment list, and it has also secured a 5-star crash rating from both GNCAP and BNCAP.
The rear headroom of this Maruti Suzuki car is tight, though, and since you travel 5 aboard, we would recommend you personally have every member sit inside and check if this is okay for you.
