We would suggest you opt for the Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX M. Its turbo petrol feels clearly stronger than your Maruti Suzuki Swift and the Brezza, so gaps in traffic and highway passes need less effort, and the car feels steady and comfortable at speed. For the money, it also feels like a real “upgrade” in the way it drives and the way the cabin feels.Why it fits your brief: you asked for the best engine performance and driving feel first, and here the 3XO delivers without blowing the budget. You also want long-term peace - Mahindra upkeep is usually reasonable, and parts availability is broad in most cities. The ride and handling balance is also very good, and it does a good job out on the highway or even over broken city roads.The trade-offs: mileage is not its strong point, and Mahindra service isn’t as smooth or uniform as Maruti's everywhere. The Tata Nexon petrol is strong on paper, but it does not feel as smooth at low speeds, and the clutch can feel heavy. As for your question on the Brezza being the most practical? Yes, if you value low running cost, easy service and resale over performance.

The XUV 3XO fits your brief better on key counts. It has a wider rear seat and better rear seat space than the Brezza, which makes it more comfortable for five occupants. It is also the more engaging car to drive, with a stronger, more responsive engine and a more modern overall feel. For your mix of city driving and occasional highway runs, it strikes a good balance between performance and usability, while also offering a richer feature set.The Brezza, however, still holds its ground on ease of ownership and reliability. Its torque converter automatic is smooth and predictable in traffic, and Maruti’s service network and long-term dependability remain a big advantage. It is also comfortable and easy to live with, but it does not feel as modern or as engaging as the 3XO.The difference is simple. The 3XO offers more space and better driving performance, while the Brezza offers greater peace of mind and a more proven ownership experience.

Since you're looking for an easy, comfortable automatic car under Rs. 15 lakh, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXI AT is the one you should be looking at. It is very easy to drive in traffic thanks to the light controls, the torque converter automatic shifts smoothly, and the tall seat makes getting in and out easy for a 60-year-old. The ride is calm over broken roads, so daily runs and longer trips feel less tiring. Maruti’s wide service network and low part costs also make life easier over 8-10 years, and resale is usually strong.Two things to note: it is not the quickest thanks to the naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine that puts out just 103hp, and if the ZXI is over your budget in your city, you'll have to settle for the VXI automatic that will feel a bit basic inside. Pick the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT only if he wants stronger pull and more features for the money. Overall, for comfort, ease, low upkeep and trust, go for the Brezza automatic.
