Questions you may find useful

•1w

I own a Grand i10 (2019) model and my annual running is 1,42,000 km. My daily running is 88 km. Should I install Lovato CNG kit or replace it with Exter CNG or Swift CNG. The car is in good condition.

•6w

Which would offer better value for money between the Swift and Exter? I am considering the Swift HX4 and Exter VXi variants. Which one offers better driving dynamics and more space? The Swift is wider, while the Exter is taller. Which one is more spacious?

•8w

I am a first-time car owner, and my budget is around Rs 7 lakh. My monthly running is about 500km, mostly on highways, and I also plan to do a trip of around 1,000km every six months. I am planning to buy the car for family use. Please suggest which is best. I am confused between the Tiago Pure Plus, Dzire LXi, Baleno Sigma, Exter HX3, Swift LXi, and Grand i10 Nios Magna.

I am a senior citizen, 5'10" tall, and currently own a 2012 Maruti Wagon R. I am planning to replace it and am considering the Swift, Wagon R, and Exter. How is the Hyundai Exter Petrol AMT for my needs? My usage is limited to city driving with low annual running. Which one would you recommend?
