Trending Questions on Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I want to buy a compact SUV (petrol, automatic) under a budget of Rs. 12-13 lakh. Help me decide between Brezza, Venue, Kylaq, XUV 3XO and Amaze (since it is a compact Sedan) considering that the mileage within city should not be less than 13-14kpl.
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.
I’m looking for a petrol automatic SUV under Rs 17 lakh that is safe, fun to drive and fuel-efficient. I’ve considered the Kia Seltos, the Hyundai Bayon and the Hyundai Creta (although the Creta hasn’t been crash-tested by Bharat NCAP). I could also step down to three-cylinder options like the Hyundai Venue or the Skoda Kylaq. German and Czech cars are really solid, but I don’t like their rear-view cameras. Most of my driving is in Gurgaon traffic, with occasional highway trips. Which car would you recommend?
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.
My budget is under Rs 12 lakh, and I want a petrol manual car. I currently drive a 17-year-old Maruti Dzire diesel and am looking to replace it with a compact SUV. My priorities are good highway performance, safety, decent fuel efficiency and a spacious cabin. I will sometimes drive the car myself, but it will mostly be chauffeur-driven. I have shortlisted the Mahindra XUV 3XO MPFi, but some people have advised me against buying it, leaving me unsure about its reliability. Should I go ahead with it or consider other options? At this price, I can also get the Hyundai Venue HX5+ and Maruti Victoris LXi. What would you suggest?
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.
I am planning to upgrade from Skoda Rapid Monte Carlo 1.0 AT (2020) to a family-friendly SUV. Considering the new Renault Duster Hybrid and Hyundai Creta IVT/Turbo Petrol. With ageing parents and a 9-month-old baby, my priorities are easy ingress and egress, spacious rear seats and good boot space. My annual running is around 5,000 km which mostly involves city driving. Which SUV would you recommend?
The Renault Duster (non-hybrid) has a large rear boot and the car is also newer and fun to drive, however your priorities of spacious rear seats and easy ingress/egress would be better met in the Creta and we would suggest the IVT as its smoother than the DCT autobox for everyday family use. Given that an all new Creta is around the corner you should bargain hard for a good deal and you could have a significantly lower purchase price too.
Hi, I currently own a VW Vento petrol and am planning to buy a big SUV preferably Tucson or Tiguan. Unfortunately, both are unavailable and there is a dirth of cars in this segment. Hence, I am looking at 7-seater cars like VW Tayron, Skoda Kodiaq and Kia Sorento. I am inclined towards Tayron but my brain is into Sorento. My usage is daily city drive and involves 3 to 5 long trips. I am quite unsure and confused with the future of petrol in india and also the longterm ownership of a hybrid. Look forward to your suggestion and take on this. Thanks.
The VW Tayron and the Skoda Kodiaq would both be more fun to drive. However, the Kia Sorento would be the more sensible buy with a well specced car at an attractive price. It would come down to what you want more from your new car. As for the future of petrol and hybrids, both are safe buys and should give you years of trouble free running. The hybrid system in the Kia is a proven unit too. The fuel issue if any is with diesel cars in Delhi where those cars older than 10 years are legally considered end-of-life vehicles.
