Questions you may find useful

I am looking for an automatic SUV under Rs 14 lakh, preferably with a torque-converter or CVT gearbox. The car will primarily be used for city driving, with occasional highway trips and long-distance journeys. I am leaning towards a petrol model rather than an EV, as I feel EV charging infrastructure is still not widely available. My main priorities are mileage and long-term reliability. I have shortlisted the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Skoda Kylaq, Hyundai Venue and Mahindra XUV 3XO.

Hi Autocar Team, I’m looking to replace my current Tata Punch Accomplished Dazzle Sunroof AMT. I’m not very happy with the AMT gearbox and specifically want to move to a smoother automatic for Hyderabad traffic. My hard on-road budget is Rs 15 lakh. The car will mainly be used by my wife and me, along with our kid, so I’m looking for something that offers good safety, comfort, an automatic transmission, and a sunroof. My biggest priority is long-term ownership and reliability. I plan to keep the car for at least 6-8 years, so it should be reasonably easy and affordable to maintain, with good parts availability and decent resale value. Could you please suggest which car and variant you would personally recommend within a Rs 15 lakh on-road budget in Hyderabad? I’m currently considering cars such as the Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Škoda Kylaq, and other compact/mid-size SUVs, but I’m open to better options. If you had Rs 15 lakh as a hard maximum budget and were replacing a Punch AMT, which car would you shortlist and why?

I currently own a 2015 Swift Dzire diesel and want to replace it with a car that is powerful, reliable, comfortable for long trips, fuel-efficient, easy on the pocket, safe, and practical for a family of two adults and two kids. My budget is Rs. 12-13 lakh. I am considering the Tata Nexon, Skoda Kylaq, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Kushaq Classic variant. Please suggest which car and variant I should choose. My annual running is around 10,000-12,000 km.

I am planning to purchase my first car. I don't have any specific requirements or daily running. I will mainly use it for city rides with family when needed and occasional weekend highway trips. My budget is up to Rs. 12 lakh. Which one should I choose among the Tata Punch, Skoda Kylaq, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Tata Nexon? I am also open to other options.

•7w

Which is the better car between the Kylaq and the new Brezza 1.0-litre turbo? Most of my driving will be in the city, but on road trips, the car will cover around 600-700 km in a day. My priorities are decent suspension, good handling and drivability, along with confidence-inspiring highway manners. At speeds above 100 kph, which of the two offers better stability and performance?
