Hi Autocar India, I’m planning to buy a new car under Rs 16 lakh for my family of five. My monthly usage is around 500km, mostly on highways. I’m currently considering: Hyundai i20 N Line, Hyundai Verna 1.5 MPI, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Virtus, and Skoda Slavia. I personally prefer low-slung cars over SUVs. My priorities are long-term reliability, family comfort, highway stability, good safety, reasonable maintenance costs, and overall ownership experience. Which one would you recommend for my requirements, especially for long-term ownership? Also, which engine and variant would be the best choice within my Rs 16 lakh budget? Thanks! I’d love to hear your expert recommendation.

I am getting a Hyundai Verna 2013 FLUIDIC 1.6 VTVT SX at 3.8 lakh on road and an i20 2015 Asta 1.2 at 3.84 lakh on road through a renowned used car platform. Please let me know which out of above two should be preferred ideally. I have occasional office drives of around 600 km monthly, weekend city drive with family and annual 4-5 trips to our native in Konkan. I am a fan of Hyundai's fluidic design hence I am attracted to the looks of both cars. Also the price seems to be tempting. Please let me pros and cons of both vehicles in terms of their usage life, mileage, maintainance and their suitability to my use.
