Questions you may find useful

I am planning to buy my first car with a budget of around 8-9 lakh. I am also currently learning to drive, so ease of driving, visibility, and confidence for a new driver are important considerations for me. At present, my family consists of my wife and me, though my mother occasionally travels with us. My daily commute is around 15-20 km, but that could change significantly if I relocate to a different city in the future. In addition to daily commuting, I intend to use the car for long-distance travel, including trips to my hometown, which is approximately 20 hours away from my current workplace. Therefore, I am looking for a car that offers a good balance of comfort, safety, fuel efficiency, practicality, and long-term ownership experience. I prefer a CNG vehicle to keep running costs low. After my initial research, I have shortlisted the following cars in decreasing order of preference: 1. Hyundai Exter HX4 CNG 2. Tata Punch Pure Plus CNG 3. Hyundai Aura S CNG 4. Tata Nexon Pure CNG. I would appreciate your recommendations on which option would best suit my requirements and whether there are any other vehicles in this budget range that I should consider.

I am considering buying my first four-wheeler, and my budget is under Rs. 10 lakh. My requirement is mainly city driving, with occasional visits to villages and a few trips each year. Please suggest a family car or SUV that is practical for family use while also catering to occasional trips and village driving. I have explored the Tata Punch, Hyundai Exter, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, Maruti Suzuki Fronx, Renault Kiger, and Renault Kwid, and now I feel confused about which one to buy. Kindly help me with my dilemma.

Hi, need a car on urgent basis. Monthly drive of 1800-2000 km 70% Highway and 30%city. Budget of 10 -12 lakh intially considering Exter CNG but after test drive not sure about it. Also looking for used cars as there is lot uncertainty regarding fuel in recent times. Have. Selected one nexon xz 2021 model at 6 lakh price. Should I go with nexon or any other good option for new car in same budget...do not want actually big cars due to parking issues

Hi, my monthly commute will touch around 1800-2000km. Mostly highway running 70-80 %. I am considering Nexon used car 50k running 2021 XZ model @ 6 lakh. But I am confused as it right choice for me or 2021 model will be good option as it is not E20 complaints . Or should I go for new car also thinking of New exter CNg or Maruti fronx

I want an SUV-styled CNG car and am confused between the Nexon CNG and Exter CNG. I have taken a test drive of both. The Exter felt easy to drive, had smooth gear shifts, was silent, and I loved its driveability. The Nexon's gear shift felt a bit notchy and not as easy for city driving, but I loved its suspension, comfort, and looks. I'm buying the car for high-kilometre usage. I have an Aura CNG, which I've driven for 2 lakh km and it is still in A1 condition. I'm expecting the Exter CNG to be the same. I don't have much experience with the Nexon. I have concerns about the Nexon's long-term reliability for 3 lakh km over the next 5 to 6 years, as well as the service experience since there is only one dealership and service centre in my city, Bareilly, which has a population of over 13 lakh. My priorities are comfort, easy maintenance, long-term reliability, and no unexpected maintenance.Can the new Nexon deliver all this? Or should I stick to my safe option, the Exter?
