Questions you may find useful

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.

How do you rate Hyundai Verna in comparison with Virtus and Slavia

•13w

I have a 2016 Hyundai i20 & I'm looking to upgrade to a Turbo DCT sedan. I test drove the 3 options and between the VW twins I prefer the exterior & interior of the Slavia. The interior of the Verna is much better than the Slavia and so far I've had a positive service experience with Hyundai, while Skoda does have a bad reputation for after-sales service. The Verna however felt less fun to drive. How likely is an N-line version of the Verna being launched? I'm finding it difficult to choose between the Verna & the Slavia.

I am planning to buy Honda City V CVT. Is it still worth buying the Honda City in 2026 from a long-term (7-10 years) ownership and reliability standpoint? Or should I consider other cars in the segment, such as the Virtus, Slavia, or Verna?

•16w

I need a sedan, I drive 80% in the city where roods are pretty poor. My priorities are efficiency and ability to handle bad roads. Which one should I pick among Slavia, city and Verna?
