I am from Goa, have sold my Celerio AMT & am planning to buy an automatic hatchback in the price bracket of ₹8.00 to ₹10.00 lakhs. My usage is about 50-60 Kms a day, mostly in the city with occasional highway runs. Would it be prudent to buy the existing Maruti Baleno or wait for the upcoming facelift, or go for the Hyundai i20 with the CVT(IVT)? My only grouse with the Baleno is that it's no longer available with the CVT, but the AMT. Also, neither of these cars is 5-star rated for safety, hence I was also thinking of the Tata Altroz DCT, but then it comes only with a 3-cylinder NA engine & not with the Turbo, what say?

You should go for the Hyundai i20 Sportz IVT for your next car. It costs just over Rs 10 lakh on-road, but it comes with a refined 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a seamless CVT automatic gearbox, which is what you're looking for. The Hyundai also has the nicest interior of the lot, a comfy ride and even though it hasn't been crash tested yet, it does come with 6 airbags, traction control and more safety features. Being a Hyundai, the i20 will also be reliable and stress-free to maintain. Alternatively, if safety is your top priority, go for the Tata Altroz DCA as it has received a 5-star crash safety rating from both Bharat and Global NCAP. Do note, the Altroz DCA won't be as smooth to drive as the i20 IVT, and as you mentioned, it only comes with a non-turbo, three-cylinder engine.

Hi, I am planning to buy a new car with an on-road budget of up to Rs 10.5 lakh. My usage is very low, not even 200 km per month, and I want a car that is reliable for long-term ownership, has low maintenance and delivers at least 15 kmpl mileage in the city. I usually drive at speeds of around 80-100 kmph. I am confused between the Maruti Baleno Zeta, Honda Amaze VX, Tata Altroz Creative, Tata Punch and Kia Sonet HTK Plus. Which car would be the most suitable choice?

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno will be the best pick for you. It delivers the best fuel economy and will be the most affordable to maintain and service. The Baleno is a nice product too. It's pleasant to drive with peppy performance for city use and is quite spacious for its size.

Which is the best car under 7.5 lakh? Nissan Magnite, Tata Altroz, or Maruti Baleno? Is the Nissan Magnite a good option to buy?

Verified
•31w

The Nissan Magnite is a good option to consider. It is spacious, has a comfortable ride, and the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is punchy and efficient. Plus, it has an SUV-like road presence that the other two hatchbacks lack. It also received a 5-star crash test rating from Global NCAP.The Tata Altroz also has a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, as well as a spacious cabin, comfortable ride, and good features. However, the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine in the Nissan Magnite is more efficient.The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the most efficient of the lot, but hasn't been updated in a while, and is now starting to show its age.

Hello team. I’m selling my old i20 and planning to buy a new car. I’ve shortlisted the Tata Altroz, Maruti Baleno, Toyota Glanza and Maruti Dzire. My priorities are an automatic transmission, good mileage, 4/5-star safety, an armrest and a rear wiper. I’m attracted to the Glanza for its styling and the UV-cut glass on the top variant. My maximum budget is ₹10.5-11 lakh on-road in Telangana. Please suggest which is best.

The Toyota Glanza is a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Baleno, and the only difference between the two is the badge, some interior trim colours and the warranty. The Glanza is sold with a 3-year/1,00,000km warranty, while the Baleno gets a 2-year/40,000km warranty.The Glanza is a good option if you like the way it looks, and the UV cut glass is a must-have feature for you. However, if you are looking for a car that will hold its value better, then the Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the better option, and also features UV cut class.The Tata Altroz does get you the option of a diesel engine, and a DCT automatic, which is the more sophisticated auto gearbox here. However, you could also consider the new Hyundai i20, which comes with a CVT auto or a DCT with its powerful turbo engine.
