I own a 2017 Hyundai Xcent SX(O) diesel that has been driven around 1.07 lakh km. Now I am thinking of changing it. The options in my mind are the Kia Sonet HTK+(O) petrol or the Honda Amaze ZX (MT), but from my research, both feel underpowered due to their naturally aspirated engines. Are there any better petrol options around a ₹10 lakh budget? I don’t want to continue with diesel because they are now overpriced and have many emissions concerns. Please suggest.
Yes, you are right. The Kia Sonet’s and Honda Amaze’s 1.2 litre naturally aspirated petrol engines, although fine for city use, will feel a bit down on power for highway duties. Especially compared to your Hyundai Xcent diesel, you own currently. It has a lot more torque; these cars will feel slower in comparison and won’t really feel like an upgrade.
In your Rs 10 lakh budget, you can look at either the Mahindra XUV 3XO REVX M or the Skoda Kylaq Classic Plus. Both these cars are powered by turbo petrol engines, which give them strong performance, and both are genuinely enjoyable to drive. The Mahindra scores big on cabin space, making it one of the most comfortable cars in the segment for five adults. While the Skoda Kodiaq offers a much larger boot, which adds to its practicality.
If you are looking for better efficiency and a lighter clutch for a more effortless driving experience, you could also consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza LXi. However, in Maruti’s case, we would recommend waiting as an update is due soon.

Which car would be more suitable for city use and occasional highway driving: the Swift or the Ignis? My budget is around Rs 8 lakh, which can be stretched. Or should I look at lower variants of the Sonet or 3XO?
In your budget, you can get the Swift VXI (O) and the Ignis Alpha petrol manual. Between the two, we would suggest going for the Maruti Suzuki Swift as it is the newer car of the two and has a more modern cabin with better interiors.
The one distinct advantage the Maruti Ignis has over the Swift, however, is that it still uses the older 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine, which is smoother and feels more peppy compared to the new three-cylinder engine in the Swift. On the upside, the Swift will prove to be more efficient.
If you are going to be driving more often on the highway, we would also suggest considering the Mahindra 3XO or the Skoda Kylaq. We would not recommend the absolute base variants, though, and suggest the REVX M in case of the 3XO and the newly launched Classic Plus in case of the Kylaq, as they offer the basic features you would want without feeling too stripped out.
The advantage of the 3XO and the Kylaq is their turbo petrol engines, which make them more versatile as the added power helps them handle both city and highway duties better. They are also five-star rated in Bharat NCAP, which adds an extra layer of safety.
We would not recommend the Kia Sonet right now as it is due for an update soon, and the lower variants come with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine, similar to the Swift and Ignis.

I have a Kia Carens diesel automatic and an older 2011 Honda City. My native place is Bhopal, but I am currently working in Maharashtra. Due to limited parking space at my rented house, I cannot keep the Kia Carens with me, so I am using my old 2011 manual Honda City. I am a 57-year-old fit person, and I like to drive. On the highway, my normal speed is 80-120 km/h, according to permissible limits. The Honda City is still excellent to drive, but covering long distances in it is very tiring compared to the Kia Carens. Please advise me on a sub-4-metre automatic SUV that is comfortable for long-distance highway travel. I usually travel approximately 600 km in a single run. My budget is Rs 12 to 13 lakh. Safety, decent mileage, and easy ingress and egress are my priorities. One vehicle that comes to mind is the Skoda Kylaq. Please suggest a vehicle that could be even more comfortable than the Kia Carens on long distances.
Yes, you're right, the Skoda Kylaq is an excellent choice that fits your needs well. Apart from being comfortable and stable out on the highway, its 1.0 TSI engine has a lot of punch, and its 6-speed AT gearbox is very smooth. Mileage is decent, too, if driven carefully, and ingress and egress are quite easy.
However, you should also consider the Mahindra XUV 3XO, which has more powerful engines and an able chassis, since you like to drive. It is slightly more comfortable than the Kylaq, which can feel a bit stiff, and since you do such long distances, unlike the Kylaq, it offers a strong but efficient diesel engine option, which will reduce the running costs slightly.

Dear Autocar India Team, I’m planning to buy a mid-size SUV for my father, who is currently using a Hyundai Elite i20. After shortlisting options, I am considering the Skoda Kylaq Classic Plus variant. Recently, I watched your video/article mentioning that Skoda has upgraded the AC compressor on the Skoda Kushaq to improve cooling performance. I would like to know: Has this upgraded AC compressor also been introduced on the Skoda Kylaq (specifically the Classic Plus variant), or is it exclusive to the updated Kushaq? There are also discussions about Skoda introducing a new 8-speed automatic gearbox. Is Skoda planning to offer this 8-speed automatic on the Kylaq in the near future, or will it continue with the existing 6-speed automatic? Your clarification will greatly help me make an informed purchase decision. Thank you for your time and continued insightful automotive coverage.
The update to the AC has only been implemented on the Kushaq, as it was necessary and a weak point. The Kylaq already has good AC performance and a variable geometry compressor. As for the gearbox, there is no confirmation on a new gearbox for the Kylaq, as the 6-speed torque converter suits the engine well.

Hi Autocar India! I’m planning to buy a car and am deciding between the Mahindra 3XO AX5 and the Hyundai Venue HX5+. I live in Coimbatore and have a family of four. My driving is mostly city (90%) with some highway use (10%), about 300 km per month. Could you help me choose which car would suit my needs best in terms of city driving, comfort, fuel efficiency, and overall ownership?
If you are looking at a car purely from the city driving perspective, the Hyundai Venue HX5+ powered by the 1.2 litre naturally aspirated engine will do. It will also prove to be more efficient than the Mahindra 3XO’s 1.2 litre turbo petrol engine. But from the performance perspective, there is a huge gap here. The Mahindra 3XO in the AX5 variant will be much nicer to drive and will feel at home, be it in the city or on the highway. It is also wider, can seat five people in decent comfort and as compared to the HX5+ variant, it has more features too.
Considering you drive 90% of the time in the city, we would also recommend you to, go for an automatic transmission. It will be a lot easier to drive and reduce fatigue by a lot.
Another car you can consider is the Skoda Kylaq which again is a nice car to drive and is very well priced. You can get the Signature manual transmission variant in your budget or the newly launched Classic + variant if you are looking to buy an automatic.

For a small family with a maximum budget of ₹15 lakh in Mumbai, and with mostly city driving (~400 km/month) plus two long trips (~1,600 km each) per year, I’m inclined toward the Kyaq Signature Plus (or a better variant you might suggest), but I’m concerned about reported AC issues. I’m also considering the Aircross X Turbo if I can get it within budget. Should I also test-drive the 3XO RevvX variant? I believe the mileage is similar across these three cars. My priorities are fun to drive, safety, reliability, and peace of mind. What would be your recommendation, and are there any other suitable options I should consider?
The Skoda Kylaq meets all your requirements of fun to drive and safety. It’s fairly reliable, too, but doesn’t have the reputation for reliability like a Japanese brand. The sales and service are considerably improve and Skoda has worked to bring down spare parts and service costs as well.
The air conditioning is an issue with Skodas, but the company has fixed it in the new Kushaq, and we expect to see these improvements in the Kylaq too. The Aircross is a lovely car to drive, but its dealer and service network needs to improve. The Mahindra XUV 3XO is a great all-rounder and the best equipped, but it's not as much fun to drive as the Kylaq.

What is the difference between different types of automatic transmissions (AT, AMT, CVT, TC, etc.), in terms of smoothness, driving comfort, mileage, etc?
This question is often asked, and here is an easy explanation of its advantages and what to watch out for.
AMT (Automated Manual Transmission): This is the most basic type of automatic. It is essentially a manual gearbox with an automated clutch. It is the most affordable automatic and usually delivers good fuel efficiency, often close to that of a manual. However, shifts are noticeable and can feel jerky at low speeds. You will find this gearbox in affordable cars like the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, Tata Punch, and Hyundai Exter.
Torque Converter Automatic (TC / AT): This is now commonly used in many mass-market cars like the Kylaq, Sierra, and Mahindra 7XO. It is the most consistently smooth and comfortable automatic. Gear shifts are seamless, especially in slow city traffic, making it very easy to drive. Modern torque converters have improved fuel efficiency, though they still trail the others in this regard.
CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission): This is the smoothest gearbox when it comes to city driving. CVTs don’t have fixed gears, which makes them very smooth in stop-start traffic. They are usually excellent for fuel efficiency, especially in the city. The downside is the “rubber band” effect under hard acceleration, where engine revs rise without a matching increase in speed. Overall, they are best for relaxed city driving.
DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission): This is best suited to drivers who enjoy performance and fast shifting action. DCTs offer quick gear shifts and feel sporty on open roads. They are also quite efficient. However, in heavy traffic, they can feel hesitant or jerky if not well calibrated, and long-term maintenance costs can be higher than those of other automatics.

I am a 44-year-old male with a right leg disc issue. My budget is Rs 10 to 12 lakh, and my height is 5 feet 10 inches. I will be driving mostly in the city. Please advise whether I should buy an automatic or a manual car.
Given your right leg disc issue and predominantly city driving, an automatic car is strongly recommended. It will significantly reduce strain on your leg and make daily driving far more comfortable.
Within a Rs 10 to 12 lakh budget, look for cars with a smooth, relaxed automatic and easy ingress. The Honda Amaze CVT is one of the most comfortable city cars. The CVT is smooth, the driving position is relaxed and running costs are low. It is especially easy to live with in stop-start traffic.
At similar money you can also consider the Skoda Kylaq automatic, which has been introduced in the new mid Classic Plus variant. It is really well priced at under Rs 11 lakh on-road and doesn’t stint on features. You get a premium kit such as a sunroof, automatic wipers, cruise control and steering-mounted controls. Being an SUV, ingress and egress are easy, and overall, the Kiyaq is a comfortable, easy car to drive in city conditions.

Hi team, I am looking to buy an automatic petrol SUV for a family of four, mainly for city use in Hyderabad. I prefer non-Indian brands and want a car under ₹15 lakh with strong safety and performance features. Please suggest a couple of suitable options.
You can look at either the Skoda Kylaq or the recently launched Hyundai Venue. Both cars have scored a full 5 stars in BNCAP, so your safety requirement is well covered.
Within your budget, you can get the top Prestige+ variant of the Kylaq. While it misses features like a 360° camera, it comes well loaded with a premium kit. It includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a single-pane sunroof, powered front seats and more.
Between the two, the Kylaq is the nicer car to drive; it offers confident handling, a comfortable ride and a spacious cabin that’s supportive for four adults. The boot is also generous.
The Venue, on the other hand, is more spacious overall and benefits from Hyundai’s wider sales and service network. It adds peace of mind to ownership.
If driving feel and feature content matter most, the Kylaq Prestige+ is a strong choice. If you prioritise overall space and a broader dealer-service network, the Venue makes more sense.

Hi, I am confused about whether to buy the Altroz diesel or the Kylaq.
Both are very different cars. The Tata Altroz diesel makes sense if you are driving long distances and spend long hours on the highway. The Altroz’s relaxed cruising ability, stable high-speed manners, and diesel efficiency and running costs are a better choice.
The Skoda Kylaq has superior engineering, brilliant ride and handing and a very smooth 1.0 TSI engine. The Kylaq is much nicer to drive, more spacious, and overall the better car of the two.
