Questions you may find useful

•4w

I currently own a 2021 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga petrol, which has covered around 85,000 km and delivers approximately 7-8 km/l in city driving. Due to rising fuel costs, I am considering switching to a CNG car. I plan to sell my Ertiga before buying the new car. Since my children are now in college, I no longer need a 7-seater. I am specifically looking for a CNG + AMT combination, as I am 48 years old and feel an automatic transmission would make frequent city driving less tiring. The cars I am considering are: Tata Punch Adventure S CNG AMT, Tata Altroz Creative S CNG AMT, Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi CNG, and Maruti Suzuki Baleno Zeta CNG The Tata Punch is currently my preferred choice. I also considered the Brezza, but its lack of a proper spare wheel concerns me, as I have experienced several tyre punctures in the past. My maximum budget is Rs. 14 lakh. I am also unsure whether an EV would suit me within this budget, as I do not want to deal with range anxiety at this stage. Based on your road tests, which car would you recommend? Is the Tata Punch Adventure S CNG AMT the best choice for my requirements, or should I consider another option?

I currently own a petrol Maruti Suzuki Ertiga purchased in 2021, that has covered around 85,000 km. It currently gives me around 7-8 kpl in city driving, so increasing fuel costs have made me consider switching to a CNG car. I also no longer require the Ertiga's third-row seats, as my son and daughter are now in college, so a five-seater would be sufficient for my needs. I am interested in the CNG and AMT combination, as I am 48 years old and believe an automatic transmission would make frequent city driving and traffic much less tiring. Currently, I am considering Tata Punch Adventure S CNG AMT, Tata Altroz Creative S CNG AMT, Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi CNG, Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi CNG and Maruti Suzuki Baleno Zeta CNG. The Punch Adventure S CNG AMT is currently my preferred choice because it seems to offer a good balance of features, practicality and running costs. At its price, I also get more features, a CNG + AMT combination and what appears to be a very strong safety package. I was also considering the Brezza ZXi and VXi CNG, particularly for their larger size and Maruti's reputation for reliability. However, the lack of a proper spare wheel concerns me, as I have experienced tyre punctures several times. My budget is a maximum of Rs. 14 lakh. I am also unsure whether an electric car under Rs. 14 lakh would be suitable for me, as I would prefer to avoid range anxiety at this point. Based on your road tests and experience, which of these cars would you recommend? Is the Punch Adventure S CNG AMT the best choice for my requirements, or should I seriously consider one of the other options? Also, is there another car I may have overlooked?
