I liked the new Tata Tiago AMT petrol, as my initial running will be under 500km a month. I shortlisted it over the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R and Celerio mainly because of its safety features. Speed and performance are not major concerns, as both my wife and I are new to driving. Is the Tiago AMT the right choice for our needs? Please advise, particularly in terms of maintenance costs and overall cost of ownership.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/tiago/Tata_Tiago_Facelift_Front_Quarter_Tracking.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/skoda-kylaq-vs-kia-sonet-diesel-which-car-is-suitable-for-mountain-trips-and-daily-use-501201Autocar Indiaen2026-08-20T08:30:05+05:30I am upgrading from a Brezza diesel and am looking for a car under Rs 15 lakh for a daily run of 30km+ and occasional mountain trips. I am currently confused between the Skoda Kylaq and Kia Sonet diesel, and am more inclined towards the Kylaq. However, I have read reviews mentioning mileage of under 5kpl in the mountains and concerns about low-end torque. I am also moving from a diesel car and am worried about E20 fuel. My priorities are that the car should not feel underpowered, while also offering good features, comfort and fuel efficiency of 10kpl or more. Which one should I choose?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kylaq/Skoda%20Kylaq_2_OP709803.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-maruti-swift-variant-offers-the-best-value-and-is-now-a-good-time-to-book-501240Autocar Indiaen2026-08-20T08:00:40+05:30I am planning to buy a Maruti Suzuki Swift next month.
