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.

fronx automatic or kylaq automatic for first time user

Which automatic cars with good comfort and practical, no-nonsense features would you recommend for 95% city driving? My budget is around Rs. 12 lakh. The options I am considering are Citroen C3X, Tata Punch, Nissan Magnite, Maruti Suzuki Fronx, Toyota Taisor, Skoda Kylaq and Hyundai Exter. I particularly miss the Honda Jazz CVT, as it would have made my decision much easier. Is there any possibility of the Honda Jazz making a comeback in the Indian market?

I am confused between choosing a manual or automatic car, and also between the Skoda Kylaq, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Toyota Taisor/Maruti Fronx. My daily driving is about 8 km in the city, along with a monthly highway trip of over 250 km.
