Questions you may find useful

•3w

I am considering buying a car for my daily commute to the office. My daily running would be 90km, mostly on the highway, and my monthly usage will be around 2,500km. I need a budget-friendly, high-mileage car. My options are the CNG versions of the Alto K10, Celerio, and Tiago. Please suggest.

With a daily commute of 90km and monthly usage of around 2,500km, running costs become the most important factor. CNG is the right choice here, and among your options, the Maruti Alto K10 CNG is the most budget-friendly and efficient. It is simple and reliable, and it delivers excellent mileage, which is exactly what you need for high usage. The Celerio CNG is the better all-rounder, though. It offers a more comfortable cabin, better ride quality and a more refined driving experience, while still being very efficient.The Tata Tiago CNG feels more premium, but it is not as efficient as the Maruti car mentioned above, and Tata’s CNG network is not as widespread as Maruti’s. Given your usage, the Alto K10 CNG makes the most financial sense, but if you can stretch your budget slightly, the Celerio CNG is the better long-term ownership proposition.
