When you factor in inflation and how the segments have moved, a 7-seat SUV like the BR-V would cost Rs 25 lakh today, so your estimate is spot on there. The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is an excellent MPV, but might not feel like a sufficient upgrade from your BR-V in terms of size, space, quality and creature comforts. Plus, to match the running costs of your CNG BR-V, you'd have to choose a CNG version of the XL6, which is only officially available in a low-spec Zeta spec, and only in manual-gearbox guise.Our recommendation would be the Hyundai Alcazar diesel automatic. It's smooth, efficient and spacious, while also giving you the SUV body style with arguably greater road presence than your BR-V, and will thus feel like a proper upgrade. You will get a fully loaded variant for around Rs 26 lakh, which offers plenty of creature comforts and tech.If your budget is tighter than that, also consider the Kia Carens Clavis diesel AT. It costs a little less, and doesn't get you the SUV body style, but it's actually more spacious than the Alcazar, with the same efficient powertrain, and a similarly high-quality cabin.Overall, however, we feel the Alcazar diesel AT is the best bet for you.

If 6 people are going to sit in the vehicle, you should get a 6/7-seater. Among your choices, the Kia Carens Clavis lines up best. Even though it doesn't have an official crash test rating, it is much better than having one extra unbelted occupant in a 5-seater. As standard, it comes with 6 airbags, ABS, 4-wheel disc brakes, rear parking sensors, 3-point seat belts with reminder, and ISOFIX mounts. It isn't very large, so it doesn’t become cumbersome to drive and park in the city, and the light steering helps in tight spaces. It also has a very usable third row that can seat adults comfortably.Your Rs. 20 lakh budget will get you the HTK Plus with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol DCT combo. It is a refined powertrain with enough performance for quick overtakes even with a full load. The XL6’s torque-converter auto will feel slightly smoother in traffic, but overall, the Clavis is the better choice.

For mostly city use with tight parking and a focus on comfort, safety and efficiency, the Maruti Suzuki XL6 Zeta petrol suits you better. It is easier to manoeuvre in traffic and small parking spots, and the light steering makes low-speed driving effortless. It is more economical in daily city use, while also offering a comfortable ride over broken roads and very relaxing second-row captain seats for everyday runs. It also gives you the option of a smooth automatic, which adds to ease of use, whereas the Kia Carens Premium (O) is manual only. The Carens, in comparison, is the more spacious and premium feeling car with better overall comfort for longer journeys, but it is larger and less convenient in tight urban conditions. The only drawback with the XL6 is that it cannot match the Carens for outright space and cabin feel, but overall, it is the more sensible and user-friendly choice for your usage.

The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is a more premium version of the Ertiga, and it is based on the same platform. However, the XL6 is a 6-seater, thus consider between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or the Renault Triber, both of which are 7-seaters.The Renault Triber is a sub-4m MPV, though, so while it is more affordable, it is smaller than the Ertiga, and the 1.0 litre engine is not powerful, especially so when fully loaded.As for your query about a good automatic car under Rs 9 lakh, you can consider the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, or if you would like an SUV body style, the Nissan Magnite would be a good choice.
