Questions you may find useful

•10w

Hi! I want to buy an automatic car between Rs 10-12 lakh. I want a car that is comfortable for five adults. My driving would be 70% in the city (Delhi), with 3-4 occasional intercity vacation trips annually, and my average monthly running would be around 700km. I am considering the Hyundai i20, Hyundai Exter, Toyota Glanza and Skoda Kylaq. Can you recommend which one I should go for, along with the exact variant name? Also, feel free to recommend any other cars besides these. I would like a sunroof, though it is not a deal-breaker.

The Skoda Kylaq Signature AT would be the recommendation here. Among the cars you've shortlisted, it offers the best balance of comfort, performance and long-distance ability. The rear seat is spacious enough for five adults on shorter journeys, the torque-converter automatic is smooth in city traffic, and the turbo-petrol engine feels effortless on highways. It also rides well and feels more substantial than the hatchbacks in your list. The Skoda Kylaq price range extends from Rs 7.59 lakh to Rs 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).If rear-seat space is the absolute priority, then the Hyundai i20 Sportz IVT deserves consideration. It has one of the widest rear benches in the segment, a smooth CVT automatic and a very easy-going nature in Delhi traffic. However, it doesn't feel as robust or versatile as the Kylaq on longer highway drives.The Toyota Glanza V AMT is the efficiency champion and will likely be the cheapest to run, but the AMT gearbox is not as polished as the automatics in the Hyundai or Skoda. The Hyundai Exter SX Tech AMT is a good urban runabout and gets a sunroof, but it feels narrower inside and isn't the most comfortable choice for five adults.
