For some reason, the Creta felt more balanced over rough roads and was also quieter. I initially wanted to purchase the HTX(A) Turbo DCT, but it wasn't available for a test drive. Now, I'm confused about two things: Seltos vs Creta and manual vs DCT. Around 60-70% of my driving will be in the city, but I still want a punchy engine. Having driven manual cars for years, I've always enjoyed them and am comfortable with them. However, considering the advancements in automatic transmissions in 2026 and the fact that I plan to keep the car for 7-8 years, a DCT seems like a convenient option. I'm now unsure which combination would be the right choice for my needs.

Many people have suggested the Brezza because of its mileage and lower running costs, but Tata is also a large company and has a wide service network.

I have narrowed my choice down to the Skoda Kushaq 1.5 Monte Carlo and have already booked one. I currently own a Hyundai Venue 1.0 Turbo manual. Most of my driving is within Chennai city, and I will primarily use the car for my office commute, around 25km each way. Both the morning and evening drives involve moderate to heavy traffic, with frequent crawling movement. My main concern is the DSG gearbox and its behaviour in heavy traffic. I have read about potential heating issues with DSG transmissions during prolonged stop-and-go driving, and I am wondering whether this should be a significant concern for my usage. Should I reconsider the Kushaq 1.5 DSG and look at another car instead? I really like the performance of the 1.5-litre Kushaq, and it feels like a genuine upgrade over my current Venue. However, the concerns around the DSG in heavy city traffic are making me hesitant about going ahead with the purchase. Could you please advise whether the Kushaq 1.5 DSG would be suitable for my usage, particularly from a long-term ownership perspective?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kushaq/Skoda-Kushaq-front-quarter.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/skoda-to-hike-prices-from-october-2026-440886Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T14:59:33+05:30Skoda to hike prices from October 2026https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260930_084539_fb3bb08c.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/tvs-ronin-fleet-to-forts-expedition-flagged-off-440885Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T14:33:47+05:30TVS Ronin Fleet to Forts expedition flagged offhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260930_084816_94b31ce1.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-to-buy-citroen-c5-aircross-for-long-term-ownership-503325Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T14:20:19+05:30I am interested in the Citroen C5 Aircross and currently have an opportunity to buy a 2024/2025 model that is still unsold and available at a substantial discount.

The new-generation C5 Aircross is already available in Europe, while the current-generation model sold in India has been discontinued. I am looking at keeping the car for 10 years or more, so my main concern is whether Citroen will be able to provide parts and after-sales support for the C5 Aircross over the long term, especially since it is a CKD model. Citroen already has a relatively small service network in India, and not all technicians may have experience working on the C5 Aircross. If parts are no longer available locally, will Citroen India be able to source them from France or other markets in the long term? I am willing to bear a higher cost for parts if necessary, but I would not want the car to eventually become unusable simply because essential parts are no longer available. I am quite confused about whether to go ahead with this purchase. I would appreciate your advice based on the current facts and Stellantis’ plans for Citroen in India, particularly regarding long-term parts availability and support for discontinued models.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/model/uploads/modelimages/Citroen-C5-Aircross-270320241251.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/industry/new-cafe-3-norms-revealed-evs-get-3x-credit-440884Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T14:02:32+05:30New Cafe 3 norms revealed; EVs get 3x credithttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260930_083129_4ae781c1.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/adas-meets-autopilot-the-hyundai-venue-and-the-akasa-boeing-737-max-441120Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T13:47:44+05:30ADAS Meets Autopilot: Hyundai Venue and Akasa Boeing 737 Maxhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260929_110804_c5291ca4.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/porsche-cayenne-electric-makes-india-debut-440872Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T13:15:44+05:30Porsche Cayenne Electric makes India debuthttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260930_090012_85910234.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-to-buy-for-first-time-buyer-within-rs-10-lakh-503329Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T12:56:19+05:30I am a first-time car buyer and have recently started driving, so I have limited driving experience. My usage will be around 200-300km within Chennai city, with highway travel to my native place, around 650km away, twice a year. I am looking for a reliable and safe car with a naturally aspirated (NA) engine. I am not looking for fancy or premium features, although useful features would be appreciated. The car will mainly be used by a family of five, including three adults and two children. My budget is around Rs 10 lakh, but it is not a strict limit.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Brezza/2026_Maruti_Brezza_Front_Quarter_Tracking.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/honda-adv160-deliveries-delayed-to-2027-440883Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T12:03:35+05:30Honda ADV160 deliveries delayed to 2027https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260930_062422_66a24666.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-fun-to-drive-manual-car-under-rs-15-lakh-should-i-buy-for-city-and-broken-road-driving-503310Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T11:55:01+05:30I am looking for a fun-to-drive manual car around the Rs 15 lakh budget. I live in a city with very little traffic and already have two sensible cars, so I now want something small, manual and fun to drive. Automatic transmission and mileage are not priorities. I am also an enthusiastic driver and enjoy revving the engine to extract performance. I am currently considering the Kylaq Sportline, which I can get for around Rs 13 lakh. Would the XUV 3XO or lower variants of the 1.3-litre Duster be better choices? I am also open to sedans such as the Honda City and Hyundai Verna, but I may not always be able to avoid bumps and broken roads when driving fast, so I would prefer something with more ground clearance. I also find them relatively large compared with what I am looking for.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kylaq/Skoda%20Kylaq_5.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/eighth-gen-bmw-3-series-revealed-440882Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T11:03:28+05:30Eighth-gen BMW 3 Series revealedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260930_051929_ffcd169e.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/is-the-honda-elevate-zx-cvt-a-good-deal-at-rs-18-5-lakh-with-extended-warranty-and-rsa-503319Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T10:53:32+05:30Hi, I’m planning to buy the Honda Elevate ZX CVT Adventure, and the dealer has offered it to me for Rs 18.5 lakh on-road. As part of the deal, they are also offering a seven-year extended warranty, five-year RSA (Roadside Assistance) and a dashcam. Do you think this is a good deal and worth buying at Rs 18.5 lakh? I’d appreciate your advice, especially on whether the additional warranty and RSA add meaningful value to the deal.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Honda/Elevate/Beauty_11_003%20copy.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/renault-india-believes-strong-hybrids-can-be-major-volume-drivers-440880Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T10:00:00+05:30Renault India believes strong hybrids can be major volume drivershttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260929_150204_42da9f2a.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/upcoming-car-launches-and-debuts-in-october-2026-440877Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T09:00:01+05:30Upcoming car launches and debuts in October 2026https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260929_122509_ce1b7cc6.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/hyundai-verna-vs-honda-city-petrol-cvt-real-world-mileage-compared-441119Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T08:00:00+05:30Hyundai Verna vs Honda City petrol CVT real-world mileage comparedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260929_100719_c30c0476.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/ather-crosses-8-lakh-sales-milestone-even-before-konarc-picks-pace-440875Autocar Indiaen2026-09-30T07:00:00+05:30Ather crosses 8 lakh sales milestone even before Konarc picks pacehttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260929_111958_a27697c2.jpg
