Questions you may find useful

•5w

My budget is Rs 15 lakh. I will be the primary user of the car, although five people may occasionally travel in it. I have shortlisted the Skoda Kylaq and Renault Kiger, with the latter being considered with both the turbo-petrol and CVT options. My daily usage will be limited to around 8km, with occasional long-distance trips. Considering that the Kylaq’s rear-seat space is not particularly comfortable for three adults and that the Kiger’s RPM fluctuates even when driving at a constant speed, which of the two would be the better choice? Please also consider E20 compatibility while making the recommendation.
