Questions you may find useful

Hello everyone, I would like to know which would be the better car for highway driving. My average monthly running is around 3,000 km. I am considering the Kia Sonet 1.0-litre Turbo Petrol DCT and the Skoda Kylaq Automatic. My main priority is highway comfort, especially for driving 5-6 hours in a single day. Which one would you recommend for my requirements?

I am planning to buy a subcompact suv for city driving. After test driving Hyundai Venue1.0 HX8, Kia Sonet HTX DCT and Škoda Kylaq Signature + , I am getting a good deal on the Sonet. Is it because a new model is in the offing. Its poor NCAP rating worries me a bit. Should I consider the other two or wait for a new Sonet.

Hi Team, Please help me choose the right car. I am planning to buy a car with a budget of around Rs. 11-12.5 lakh (on-road price in Delhi NCR). I need an automatic car, and my monthly running will be approximately 600 km, mainly in city traffic, especially on the Delhi-Gurgaon peak traffic stretch. I prefer to keep my cars for a longer period and will be upgrading from a Hyundai i20 manual. Based on my requirements, please suggest the best option among the following: Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi AT - Rs. 11.9 lakh on-road Kia Sonet DCT HTK(O) - Rs. 11.2 lakh Maruti Suzuki Fronx Delta Plus AMT - Rs. 9.6 lakh Skoda Kylaq Signature Automatic - Rs. 11.2 lakh I am unable to decide which one would be the most suitable choice for my needs. Kindly suggest the best option.

Hi, I am planning to upgrade from my Volkswagen Polo 1.2 MPI to an automatic car. My monthly running is around 800 km, mostly in the city. My priorities are excellent NVH levels, comfortable ingress and egress for my elderly parents, and a plush ride quality. I am confused between the Hyundai Venue Turbo Automatic and the Skoda Kylaq Automatic. Should I buy one of these now, or would it be better to wait for upcoming models like the Maruti Suzuki Vision S, Hyundai Bayon, Renault Bridger, Kia Clavis, or the new Kia Sonet? Also, is there any other car that would suit my requirements better? I have also heard that DCT gearboxes are not ideal for heavy city traffic. Is that true?

I have an Alto Lxi 2005 model and want to upgrade to compact SUV with 10 lakhs budget. My driving is in city and occasional highways with about 400 kms a month. Which is the right car Brezza / Venue / Sonet / Nexon / Kylaq for me keeping in mind a long term perspective. If brezza shuld i wait for new face lift since there is good discount on the old model.
