I am 62 years old, 5’11” tall, and currently suffering from sciatica/lower back pain. I am looking for a comfortable automatic car, mainly for city driving and occasional highway trips.
My priorities are:
Easy ingress and egress without bending too much
Comfortable seats with good lumbar and thigh support
Soft suspension and comfortable ride quality
Automatic transmission for relaxed driving
Good visibility and driving position
Reliable long-term ownership
My budget is under ₹20 lakh on-road.
I would also prefer modern safety and convenience features such as:
360-degree camera
ADAS features, if available in this budget
Could you please suggest the most suitable cars for my condition and age?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0280.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-compact-suv-is-best-for-mumbai-traffic-447539</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-16T19:00:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am based in Andheri, Mumbai, and currently driving a Honda City sedan.

So I don’t want just a typical city car. I’d like something that feels a bit fun to drive as well. Could you suggest some options? I see there are turbo-petrol choices available, but the Honda City’s 1.5 i-VTEC also seems like a strong and powerful naturally aspirated option. One thing I noticed during a test drive, though, was the tyre noise. Even at around 30kph, it felt noticeable and a bit annoying. Is that actually a concern in real-world city or moderate-speed driving, or am I overthinking the NVH levels? Some owners do mention that tyre and road noise in the Honda City can be more noticeable than expected, especially depending on the road surface and tyres.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/volkswagen/Virtus/500_8349.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-automatic-car-to-buy-under-18-lakh-with-360-camera-ventilated-seats-and-good-build-qualit-447853</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-16T09:30:16+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>My budget is Rs 18 lakh.

My usage is roughly 50% city and 50% highways, with occasional road trips carrying 5 people. I currently drive a 2019 Dzire manual, and I’m comfortable with manuals-I actually prefer downshifting for overtakes and like having some pickup on demand.

During test drives, I noticed turbo lag in the Venue at low speeds, while the Seltos manual felt smooth and linear, but I couldn’t really test it properly at higher speeds due to traffic.

I also took a test drive of the Seltos IVT, but I felt it might lack during highway overtaking, especially with full load, so I’m leaning more towards the manual with the 1.5 NA engine.

My main questions are:

Will the Seltos 1.5 NA manual feel underpowered on highways with 5 people + luggage during overtakes?
Is the IVT actually capable enough for highway overtakes, or does it start feeling strained with full load?
In the long run, which would be the better choice for my usage between these two?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0276.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/defender-leads-jlr-india-sales-in-fy26-439737</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-15T12:28:02+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Defender continues to lead JLR India sales in FY26</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260515_064435_36767d7f.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/can-i-drive-bs4-innova-crysta-diesel-in-delhi-447788</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-15T12:00:20+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I own a 2018 Innova Crysta, 3rd owner. with Odo at 1.16 lakh km.

1. It is a BS-IV model, and can I drive it in Delhi safely, without being penalised?
2. Looking at the policy fluidity concerning diesel vehicles,
what would you recommend-
A replacement car-
I love Ecosport.
