I’m 38 years old, earn more than Rs 1.5 lakh per month, and this will be my first car. I’m considering the Maruti Brezza, Fronx, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, and Honda Elevate. I’m currently planning to go for the Kia Seltos automatic IVT. Which car would be the most suitable for me? I’ll mainly use the car for monthly trips, with a running of around 500-1,000 km per month or every one and a half months.

I have to buy a car. So, I have shortlisted a few options: Sonet vs Syros vs Kylaq vs Xuv 3xo vs Tekton vs Seltos vs Clavis. My budget is under 13 lakh.
