Questions you may find useful

Hello Autocar Team, I obtained my car driving licence over a year ago, but I have almost no real-world driving experience apart from the driving test. Since my father drives a Mahindra XUV300 Manual (he lives in another city), I was initially inclined to buy a Mahindra XUV 3XO AT (AX5/AX5L/REVX A). However, some advice I found online has encouraged me to consider buying a smaller, less powerful used car to drive for a year. After giving it some thought, I completely agree with the idea of starting with a smaller car, especially since I'll mostly be driving alone. After some research, I narrowed my options down to the Hyundai i20 AT (2021-2023 IVT) over the Toyota Glanza and Maruti Suzuki Baleno in Bengaluru. My plan is to use the car mainly for highway trips (I'm planning lots of temple visits across South, East, and West India) while also practising city driving over the next few months. As a motorcyclist, I've been riding a Triumph Scrambler 400 X for the past two years and occasionally go on highway rides. Although I'll be a new car driver, I don't want to feel that the car is underpowered after a short period of ownership. Along with the i20 (and the Glanza/Baleno), I've now also added the Hyundai Venue to my shortlist. P.S. I'm also planning to enrol in a 10-day doorstep driving instruction course. Could you please suggest which car would be the right choice for me? My key requirements are: Automatic transmission, beginner-friendly automatic gearbox, reasonably quiet cabin, good highway stability, and good or decent resale value after 12-15 months

The Hyundai i20 IVT is an excellent city car; however, its 1.2 petrol engine will not feel effortless for highway drives. The Hyundai Venue is a good alternative, and its turbo-petrol and dual-clutch automatic combination will feel well-suited for highway drives. Also, visibility is very good thanks to its high seating, and with light steering, it feels quite easy to drive. The Hyundai Venue price starts at Rs 8.00 lakh and goes up to Rs 15.65 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).Given that you plan to take the car for highway drives frequently, we'd recommend you also consider the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Turbo AT or Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor Turbo AT. Both are essentially the same car and are powered by a turbo-petrol engine and a smooth torque converter (automatic). Their turbo-petrol engine delivers strong performance, which will make the drive experience rather enjoyable. Also, these cars are quite stable for highway drives, are feature-rich, yet compact enough for the city. Between the Taisor and Fronx, pick the one you think looks better and the brand you're more comfortable with.

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.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.
