I am a first-time car buyer, 61 years old, and I want a tall car so I don’t have to slouch. I have knee and lower back issues, and want my first car to be a Tata. My budget can vary or be modified according to my comfort needs.
Tata Motors has a wide range of crossover and SUV options that you could consider depending on your budget. However, since you are a first-time car buyer, we would advise you against the Tata Sierra and Harrier, which are quite large and might seem intimidating to drive.
The Tata Punch is a good starting point and worth a look, but we feel the Nexon is the best pick for your requirements. It sits at a comfortable height, so you won't need to slouch down to enter it, and the vehicle itself is of a comfortable size - roomy enough to accommodate four adults with ease yet small enough to be convenient to drive.
We'd suggest you opt for an automatic transmission version that will help remove the bother of modulating the clutch pedal. If your budget allows, the smooth dual-clutch automatic version is the one to buy.

I am 65 years old and will be superannuating from service soon. My current car is chauffeur-driven. I am now looking for a comfortable automatic car for city use that I can drive myself, with occasional long trips of up to 300 km. My budget is ₹8 lakh on-road. Please suggest suitable options.
There are quite a few automatic options within your budget. However, we'd narrow the list down to models with high seating, which are more convenient to get into and out of. The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R would be the first model we'd recommend for you. Its high seating, excellent visibility and airy cabin are aspects you will appreciate. This Maruti car is easy to drive, and the brand’s hassle-free ownership is a plus in its own right. Opt for the AMT gearbox with the more powerful 1.2-litre petrol engine.
Within the Maruti line-up, you could also look at the Ignis AMT, though ride comfort is a bit harsh. Other alternatives with high seating include the Nissan Magnite AMT, Renault Kiger AMT and Tata Punch AMT.

I am a retired person. I may travel around 200 km per month and also take 2-3 long trips of 500-800 km per year. Should I choose the Tata Punch Automatic or the Tata Punch EV Automatic?
The Tata Punch EV is a pleasure to drive and an excellent city car, but unfortunately, it doesn’t have the range to do 500km without a charge. Stopping to charge on the highway is not advisable, as the charging infrastructure isn’t very reliable.
If this is going to be your only car, it's best to go for the Tata Punch 1.2 petrol automatic. It’s nowhere near as smooth or peppy to drive as the Punch EV, but you get the same rugged build and comfortable ride.

Hi Autocar Team, I learned to drive in my 2011 Santro and have been driving it for almost a year. I now want to buy a new car with a budget of approximately ₹9 lakh. Safety is my top priority. My usage is low at around 200 km in the city, and I also plan to take monthly highway trips. I am confused between the Tata Punch Adventure Plus and the Maruti Fronxx Delta Plus. Please suggest which one I should consider with reasons, and whether I should prefer an automatic.
Of the two options you have shortlisted, it's the Maruti Suzuki Fronx that we'd recommend. It's got the peppier engine, which will make a big difference on your highway journeys.
Given your limited usage in the city, an automatic isn't essential. Again, were you to opt for the automatic options, it's the Fronx's AMT that's superior to the one you get on the Tata Punch AMT.

Asked by: SUDARSHAN ARUN Pon Dec 25, 2025
My running is about 1,000 km per month, and I mostly work in villages in Rajasthan. Which car should I consider?
Since your monthly driving is around 1000km, it will be better if you go for a diesel car. If you prefer a manual gearbox, the Tata Nexon diesel is a good option for its good ride quality. But if you want an automatic, you can consider the Hyundai Venue diesel AT.
The ride quality of the 2025 Venue has been improved significantly, and now it gives a good ride quality on Indian roads.
The Nexon’s automatic option is an AMT, which has noticeable gearshift jerks and can become tiring on long drives.
In the smaller segment, the Tata Punch manual or the Hyundai Exter AMT are good alternatives.
Exter’s AMT is one of the smoothest AMTs in the market.

I want to purchase a new car, and my budget is up to Rs 8 lakh. I am 70 years old. Please advise.
There are multiple options that you could consider in your Rs 8 lakh budget, but we'd recommend you shortlist the Maruti Suzuki Baleno Zeta or the Toyota Glanza S, and the Tata Punch.
The Baleno/Glanza (essentially the same car with some cosmetic modifications) will be smoother, more efficient and nicer to drive. And the ownership experience with Maruti or Toyota is likely to be trouble-free.
The Tata Punch, due to its high seats and wide-opening doors, will make getting in and out very easy. Also, being an SUV, visibility is also better from the Punch's driving seat. So if you'd like to opt for an SUV body style, the Punch is a good option.

I have been using Tata Punch for a year. For me, this car met all my expectations being a new driver as well as a first-time owner. Now, I want to move towards a more premium segment and comfort with more latest features available in the market. Which car should I buy? I bought the Punch under 10 lakh (on-road). This time, my budget is under 20 lakh. I prefer Indian brands only.
The Tata Safari is the one for you. It will feel like a huge step up compared to a Tata Punch in all aspects - road presence, cabin space, interior quality, equipment, drive experience, etc. Multiple variants of the Safari will fall within your budget - petrol, diesel or turbo-petrol, so based on your usage, you could pick the one that's right for you.
We've experienced the Turbo-petrol AT and Diesel AT, and out of these, the former is our pick for its smoothness, refinement and strong performance.

I’ve been driving a Datsun Redi-GO for two years and now plan to buy a compact SUV, preferably automatic. I will commute about 50 km daily. I’ve shortlisted the Tata Punch, Citroën C3X and Skoda Kylaq. My budget is around 11 lakh. Which is the best option for me?
Considering your budget, the Citroen C3X Shine 1.2 Turbo Petrol AT is a solid choice. The Tata Punch offers only an AMT, and the automatic variant of the Skoda Kushaq will take you well past ₹11 lakh.
The C3X’s 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine is reliable, performs well, and comes paired with a 6-speed torque-converter automatic, which will give you a smooth and enjoyable driving experience.

Asked by: Ghanaon Dec 10, 2025
I am a new learner and still not fully confident with my driving lessons. I am looking to buy my first car, which should be safe and within a budget of ₹5 to ₹7 lakh. Can you help me decide which option to go for? Also, I am not keen on Maruti cars as they do not have a good safety rating.
The Tata Punch would make for a good first car for you. Compared to hatchbacks, the high seating will offer you a good view outside, and the compact dimensions will make it easy to maneuver and park, especially if you live in a congested area. Moreover, this Tata car also has a very good ride quality, is well-equipped, and is safe too.

I currently own an i10, which has reached the end of its life. I am looking to upgrade to at least a mini or micro SUV. My budget is ₹6 to ₹10 lakh, with a requirement of at least a 4 or 5-star GNCAP rating. I am open to sedans as well. Please suggest the best cars. However, I am also confused between buying a new car versus a used one or stretching my budget, as I am planning to move abroad in the next 6 to 12 months. I initially thought of buying a used car from trusted online portals, but I am worried about investing additional money in used cars in case they require major repairs.
Your best options for sub-compact SUVs in your budget are the Tata Punch and the Nissan Magnite, both of which have received a 5-star NCAP crash test rating. Of the two, we recommend the Nissan Magnite, as it has recently received a facelift, which has given it more features and a more upmarket cabin. And overall, it is the more spacious of the two, and has the advantage of a turbo-petrol engine option, which also falls in your budget.
As for whether you should buy a used car instead, it's always an advantage, as you will not suffer the same depreciation hit as you would buying a new car, and yes, you can get a vehicle from a segment or two above within the same budget.
Or else you could lower your budget and save some money. As long as you choose a relatively young used car and have it inspected thoroughly before purchase, the repairs should not be major in 6-12 months. Try a trusted used car portal like Spinny, which does thorough vehicle evaluation on its used cars for a bit more peace of mind.
