Questions you may find useful

Hi! I want to buy an automatic car between Rs 10-12 lakh. I want a car that is comfortable for five adults. My driving would be 70% in the city (Delhi), with 3-4 occasional intercity vacation trips annually, and my average monthly running would be around 700km. I am considering the Hyundai i20, Hyundai Exter, Toyota Glanza and Skoda Kylaq. Can you recommend which one I should go for, along with the exact variant name? Also, feel free to recommend any other cars besides these. I would like a sunroof, though it is not a deal-breaker.

I'm planning to purchase a car, but I'm confused between the Kylaq AT, Venue DCT, and i20 N Line DCT. My primary usage will be mostly city driving.

Hi, I’m planning to buy a petrol manual car under Rs. 10 lakhs, and I’ve shortlisted two options: Hyundai i20 Sportz Skoda Kylaq Classic+ I’m confused between choosing more features vs a better engine and SUV-like driving feel. In the i20, I’m getting features like: Digital instrument cluster Wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay Reverse camera Rear AC vents Rear defogger Auto climate control Hill hold assist Whereas the Kylaq offers: Better engine performance Stronger driving dynamics SUV feel and a higher seating position But it misses some basic convenience features. I’m also a new driver, so ease of driving, comfort, confidence, and long-term ownership matter to me. My usage is mixed: The office is only 3 km from home, so sometimes I’ll use my bike And for occasional highway family/friends trips Which one would you recommend for my use case and why?

I want to buy a car that offers great features and strong performance, which is my top priority. My budget is ₹14 lakh max. Currently, I am considering the i20 N Line and the Kylaq. Can you suggest if there is a better car in this price range?
