My father strongly prefers diesel vehicles, while I am also considering an electric vehicle within a ₹20 lakh budget. We currently own a 2017 Hyundai i20 (top model), which is nearing 3 lakh km and needs replacement. The new car will be used mostly for city driving, along with occasional long trips of 300-500 km.

I am confused between the HTK (O), HTX, and HTX (A) variants. While I can stretch my budget up to the HTX (A), I am unsure about the value-for-money factor and feature balance. Since I live in Delhi, I feel features like a 360° camera and blind spot detection (ADAS) could be useful. However, I am not certain if they justify the higher price.https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20251210_094834_6f17550e.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/mrf-superbike-tyres-launched-in-india-439360Autocar Indiaen2026-04-02T15:01:21+05:30MRF superbike tyres launched in Indiahttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260402_092807_3548e1f0.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/maruti-dzire-is-the-bestselling-car-in-india-in-fy2026-439359Autocar Indiaen2026-04-02T15:00:18+05:30Maruti Dzire is the bestselling car in India in FY2026https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260402_093209_7f433a1d.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/hyundai-unveils-rugged-boulder-suv-concept-439358Autocar Indiaen2026-04-02T13:49:53+05:30Hyundai unveils rugged Boulder SUV concept https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260402_072523_97c7f3c7.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/suzuki-burgman-new-generation-spotted-testing-again-439356Autocar Indiaen2026-04-02T12:56:17+05:30New-generation Suzuki Burgman spotted testing againhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260402_072538_41d9cade.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-xev-9s-or-wait-for-plugin-hybrid-or-safari-ev-444037Autocar Indiaen2026-04-02T12:40:00+05:30I am looking for a 7-seater car with a lower running cost.
