Questions you may find useful

Namaste Autocar Team, I am from Kolkata and am considering two cars within a budget of Rs. 15 lakh on-road: the Hyundai Venue HX7 diesel manual and the Kia Syros HTK+ (O) diesel manual. My monthly running is around 1,500-1,750 km, with a 90:10 split between city and highway driving. I mostly drive in the city, and my 2017 petrol Hyundai i20 is becoming expensive to run. Hence, I am considering a diesel car, although I am not interested in an EV at the moment. Which of these two cars would be a more practical and reliable choice for long-term ownership, considering a 10-year ownership period, service costs, comfort and mileage? I am tempted by the new Venue, but the Syros offers slightly more rear-seat and boot space, which is important for my family of four. I would appreciate your honest opinion and observations.

I am planning to buy my second car, a sub-4m petrol automatic SUV, with a budget of around Rs 15 lakh. I currently own a WagonR, and my usage is primarily city driving, with occasional long trips. I am confused between the Kia Sonet, Kia Syros and Hyundai Venue. I particularly like the Syros, but I am concerned about its low sales figures and the positioning of its headlamps. I am also unsure whether a 360-degree camera is worth having, as it is available only in the top variant of the Sonet, while the Syros does not offer one. I would appreciate your guidance on which of these SUVs would be better suited to my requirements.

I’m a first-time car buyer in Bangalore, and I’m currently learning how to drive. Should I buy a manual car to learn how to drive a manual and then switch to an automatic for my next car, or should I get an automatic right away? I’m considering the manual Kia Syros and the automatic Hyundai Venue.

Hello Autocar, I am quite confused between the Kia Syros and Hyundai Venue. Which one should I buy? My usage will mainly be city driving in moderate to heavy traffic, and I have shortlisted the HTK+ and HX5+ variants.

Hi Team, I am a first time buyer and I am comparing Syros, Venue and XUV 3xo diesel models. My running isn’t that much but I intend to take my car for longer journeys. I am not sure about the petrol with this ethanol policy hence wants to buy diesel car. The DpF issue, I think I can manage it by driving more every week. Which car should I go for? I have 4-5 people of family: thank you.
