Questions you may find useful

•10w

I’m Kathir from Chennai. I have been following Autocar for many years, and it has always been interesting and useful, with clear explanations. I often recommend Autocar to others for reliable information, so thanks to the entire team! I currently drive a 2008 i10 1.2 Magna, and my wife drives a 2016 Grand i10 Asta automatic, which has now covered 92,000 km. We are planning to sell this car and buy a new automatic petrol car within a ₹20 lakh on-road budget. Earlier, choosing a car was easier, but now it feels more confusing. We like Hyundai cars but now, we are open to trying other brands. We have test-driven the Ertiga AT, Victoris AT, Creta AT, and Carens AT, and are also planning to test Volkswagen and Skoda models. I like the Sierra, Duster, and XUV 7XO, but I am not fully confident about buying them. I am also unsure whether to buy a new car or consider a used one. Please suggest both a new car option and advice on buying a used car.

You are upgrading from a Grand i10 automatic and want something that is easy to drive, comfortable for family use and reliable for long-term ownership. The Creta ticks all those boxes. The IVT automatic is smooth and effortless in city driving, the ride is soft and comfortable which your family will appreciate, and Hyundai’s aftersales experience is something you are already familiar with. It also feels like a proper step up in space, comfort and overall refinement without being intimidating to drive.The Grand Vitara automatic is a good alternative if fuel efficiency is a priority. It is smooth and easy to drive, but the engine feels less responsive and overall it does not feel as premium or as refined as the Creta. The Ertiga and Carens Clavis are practical, but they are more MPV-focused and since you do not specifically need a third row, they are not the best fit.Cars like the Sierra, Duster and XUV 7XO are interesting, but your hesitation is valid. They are either new or evolving products, and compared to the Creta, they do not offer the same level of proven reliability and ownership peace of mind yet.
