Between your picks, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5-litre automatic is your best bet since city fuel efficiency is your main priority. The Hyundai Venue, Skoda Kylaq and Mahindra XUV 3XO all use turbo-petrol engines, which aren't particularly known for their fuel efficiency in the city. That said, achieving your target of 13-14kpl in city driving with any of these cars will require a very sedate driving style.The Brezza also comes with a smooth-shifting 6-speed torque converter automatic, which makes driving in the city very easy. One drawback is that, its interior won't feel as modern as the Hyundai Venue. The Honda Amaze is another good choice, but being a compact sedan, it won't feel as spacious as the Brezza.

Given your requirements, you should consider the Skoda Kylaq 1.0 TSI AT. It has a punchy 115 hp turbo petrol engine, a smooth 6-speed torque converter automatic and a sorted ride and handling balance, which makes it one of the most fun-to-drive SUVs in your budget. It is also safe as it has 6 airbags and has a 5-star crash safety rating from Bharat NCAP. However, it isn't the most economical and as you rightly pointed out, the camera quality isn't the best. Alternatively, you could also consider the Hyundai Bayon. It won't be as punchy or as fun to drive as the Kylaq but it will be more economical and have better camera quality.

The Mahindra XUV 3XO is a great choice for your needs. It has good performance on the highway, decent efficiency and a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating. If you are being chauffeured and spend time in the back seat, you'll find the seat is wide and comfortable, with good space too. Reliability is also quite good, though some owners report electronic glitches.Among your alternatives, the Maruti Victoris LXi is larger overall and therefore roomier, but being the base model, it will feel a bit bare-bones. The Hyundai Venue HX5+ is a better choice, offering a good balance of features and passenger comfort. However, if you want the most space in the sub-4-meter SUV segment, consider the Kia Syros. It has a very spacious and comfy back seat and a large boot. It is offered with the same 1.0-litre turbo petrol as the Venue, so highway performance is good too.Overall, the XUV 3XO is a solid choice, but if you are not convinced, then consider the Venue or the Syros.

The Maruti Suzuki Brezza AT would be the best pick for you. Its 1.5-litre petrol engine is unexciting but offers good pep for city driving which is where you will spend the majority of your time. The Brezza's 6-speed auto is also smooth and delivers better real-world economy than other turbo-petrol automatic models in the segment. The Brezza also offers good space for its size with comfortable seating for four adults, and room for five at a squeeze. Softly cushioned seats, an absorbent suspension and easy entry and exit further makes the Brezza well suited to your parents' needs.

For your needs, consider the Kia Seltos Diesel AT. It has the ground clearance you're looking for to tackle bad roads, is large yet reasonably manoeuvrable, and offers good engine performance and fuel efficiency. Kia also has a strong reputation for after-sales service and reliability, which is something you'd want coming from a Toyota. The cabin is also among the most spacious in its class, with enough room for a family of five and their luggage.If you can install an EV charger at home, an electric vehicle could be a good alternative. Within your budget, the MG Windsor Pro, Kia Syros EV and Tata Nexon EV are all strong contenders. All three offer sufficient range for your city driving and can manage your highway trips with a charging stop along the way. However, since they are smaller than the Seltos, you might find space a little tight for your family of five.Overall, the Seltos is the best diesel option for your needs. However, if you're open to an EV, the MG Windsor is worth considering.
