Is it worth buying Nissan Gravite? I currently own a 2015 Grand i10 Magna and am planning to buy a new car. Instead of a 5-seater, I am planning to buy a 7-seater within a fixed budget. However, I am confused whether I will enjoy 1 litre engine or not ?

The Nissan Gravite is a sensible upgrade from your 2015 Grand i10 Magna, especially if you need a 7-seater on a budget. The 1.0-litre petrol engine is however down on power and delivers decent performance in city driving if driven in a sedate and relaxed manner. Also with a full load of passengers and luggage, it can feel strained on highways and overtaking requires more planning. So look at it as a relaxed daily commuter and it should be fine. The Gravite's biggest strength is its value proposition as it offers genuine 7-seat practicality at a very accessible price point. However, if you regularly do long highway trips with a full family, you will notice the engine's limitations and you might want to consider upping your budget for something like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. Overall, the Gravite is a good budget-friendly 7-seater, but be realistic about your expectations from the 1.0-litre engine.

Hi, I’m planning to buy an SUV under Rs 25 lakh. I’m considering the Nissan Tekton and the Hyundai Creta. However, since I can wait another 3-6 months, is it a good idea to wait for the next-generation Hyundai Creta before taking a decision? I’m looking at the Creta IVT option and am not interested in a strong hybrid.

If you can wait 3-6 months, it is worth waiting for the next-generation Hyundai Creta. Hyundai is expected to launch the all-new Creta in 2027, and it will be a completely new car on a new platform, not just a facelift. The current Creta is still a strong product, but it is nearing the end of its lifecycle, and the new model will likely bring significant improvements in design, technology and overall ownership experience.The Nissan Tekton is a good alternative and is a very good drivers car, so its a good buy if driving pleasure is high on your list. The new Creta is likely to be more of a relaxed commuter. Thus, if you can wait, it makes sense to see what the next-generation Creta has to offer before making a decision.

I am looking for a new car in the 4 meter segment. I am leaning towards tekton 1.3 Dct. Is it a good option compared to the rivals in this segment?

Hi Autocar, I own a Nissan Magnite CVT and am very happy with it, as it perfectly suits my usage of 20 km daily in Bengaluru's bumper-to-bumper traffic and 500 km of highway driving per month for weekend trips. I am now planning to upgrade to a larger car with a spacious rear seat that can comfortably accommodate three passengers. I recently test-drove the Nissan Tekton, but I found the DCT unsuitable for my daily city driving. It also doesn't offer the CVT that I have grown to like in the Magnite, although the dealer mentioned that a CVT variant may be launched soon. Would it be worth waiting for the Tekton CVT? I am not in a hurry and can wait for around six months. Or should I consider alternatives like the Hyundai Creta CVT or the Honda Elevate CVT? Are there any other automatic SUVs that would suit my requirements for daily city commuting while also being comfortable for regular weekend highway trips?

Given your usage pattern of heavy Bangalore traffic and monthly highway trips, the priority should be a smooth, reliable automatic gearbox and a spacious rear seat for three.The Hyundai Creta IVT (CVT) would be the most sensible upgrade for you. The IVT gearbox is smooth and well-suited to stop-start traffic, and the Creta offers a genuinely roomy rear seat that can comfortably accommodate three adults. This Hyundai car is also a proven, reliable package with good highway manners for your weekend trips.The Honda Elevate CVT is also worth considering. The CVT is equally smooth in traffic, and Honda’s long-term reliability is a strong point. However, the rear seat is not as wide as the Creta’s, so it is not as comfortable for three adults on longer journeys.Overall, the Creta IVT is the most balanced upgrade from your Magnite CVT, offering the right combination of gearbox smoothness, rear seat space and long-term ownership confidence.
