I need a compact city car - automatic, petrol or electric. I checked the Comet but found it overpriced and the seats uncomfortable. My budget is under ₹10 lakh, though I can stretch slightly. Which models should I consider?
If you are open to buying an electric vehicle, the Tata Tiago EV is a good option for city use. It's got a smooth powertrain and is much more practical than the MG Comet you also considered. There's also the option of the Tata Punch EV, though it is slightly out of your budget.
Among petrol automatic cars within your budget, the Hyundai i20 iVT and Citroen C3 AT have the smoothest automatic gearboxes. The Maruti Suzuki Swift AMT is also a good city car, though the AMT gearbox isn't as nice.

My budget is ₹12-15 lakh. I need a car for a family of five, with priorities in this order: safety, reliability, comfort on bad roads, value for money, and highway comfort. I’m not keen on gimmicky features. I’m leaning toward the Citroen Aircross X but also considering the 3XO, Taisor, and Honda City.
We suggest going for the Citroen Aircross X or the Basalt as they are larger than the Mahindra 3XO, Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor or even the Honda City.
Both are these Citroen cars are spacious, have excellent ride quality, and offer great comfort in the front and rear seats. The turbo petrol engine has ample power for city and highway use, and the massive boot adds to its practicality. While it misses out on a few features compared to the Mahindra XUV 3XO, it more than makes up for it with comfort and practicality, which perfectly suit your needs.

We currently have a 2011 Hyundai i10 Sportz AT that my mother uses for office travel. We’re looking to replace it with another automatic car, preferably a hatchback, within a ₹10 lakh budget. Our usage is around 600km per month, mostly within the city. Our main priorities are fuel efficiency, ease of driving within the city, good features, and easy ingress and egress for senior citizens. Please suggest suitable options.
Given that the car will be primarily used by your mother, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is an easy car to recommend. Its height makes it easy to get into and out of, visibility is excellent, and it's generally a friendly city car. Good fuel economy is a given, and the AMT gearbox is decent for average city use. Opt for the 1.2 AGS that is well within your budget.
If you are open to trying a Citroen, you could also consider the Citroen C3 Turbo AT. While it's just out of your budget, its slick engine and gearbox make it worth a look.

Hi, I’m looking for an automatic car for my daily office commute, which is less than a 20 km round trip. The traffic is dense, so my main priorities are ease of driving and good safety features. Please suggest which automatic would be best between the Tata Punch, Citroen C3X, and Hyundai Exter. My budget is under ₹12 lakh.
Of the three, we’d recommend the Citroen C3X. It’s the nicest to drive, thanks to its excellent 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine and smooth 6-speed torque-converter automatic - a combination that feels far more refined and responsive than the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engines and AMT gearboxes in the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter.
The C3X doesn’t match the Punch’s five-star crash-test rating, but since your driving is mostly at low city speeds, its compliance with current Indian safety norms should be adequate.
The only drawback is Citroen’s limited service network, which isn’t as extensive as Tata’s or Hyundai’s. That said, Citroen cars have proven to be reliable and well-engineered, so maintenance shouldn’t be a major concern.

I drive around 600-800km per month, and my budget is ₹15 lakh. I want a car that’s over 4 meters long, but I can’t decide which one to buy. Please help me choose.
Considering your usage and budget, we suggest shortlisting the Citroen Basalt. If you’re looking for a manual variant, you can opt for the top Max trim, which now comes with all essential features.
Citroen has recently added previously missing features, like push-button start and ventilated front seats, which add a touch of premiumness to the experience. The Basalt is among the most practical and comfortable cars in its category, offering excellent space, very comfortable seats, a large boot, and a plush ride quality.
If you’re concerned about Citroen’s limited sales and service network, you can also consider the Honda Elevate. While this Honda car isn’t as spacious or comfortable as the Basalt, it still offers good value, and even the lower variants are well equipped.

Please suggest a low-budget 7-seater SUV.
The most affordable 7-seater car currently available is the Renault Triber, though it’s technically an MPV. Since you want an SUV, the most affordable option will be the Citroen Aircross X.
The Citroen stands out for its innovative packaging (removable third-row seats), smooth turbo-petrol engine, and composed road manners. You could also consider the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga as an alternative.

I own a Grand Vitara Delta automatic, which I bought mainly for its mileage. However, now I feel that the monthly EMI I pay for the Vitara isn’t worth it, as it lacks comfort and driving quality. Please advise what I should do, should I consider switching to a hatchback since we are a family of three? Please help and suggest.
Since you’re not satisfied with the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, replacing it makes sense, but be prepared to take a hit when it comes to resale value. You could try the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Turbo AT, which is more engaging to drive and offers the same peace of mind that comes with the Maruti Suzuki brand. If you are open to the Citroen brand, the C3X Turbo AT is also another fun-to-drive option.

Hi team, I’m planning to sell my 2020 Kia Seltos (manual) due to unforeseen circumstances and traffic issues. I’m getting around ₹7-7.5 lakh for it and can add another ₹7-8 lakh at most for a good automatic car with modern features. I’ve explored the Sonet, Syros, Altroz, Aircross, Kylaq, and Baleno, but I’m quite confused. What would you recommend as the best option in this budget?
Among your shortlisted options, the Citroen Aircross is the biggest, most comfortable, and nicest to drive. The company has recently updated the interiors, making them far more upmarket than before. However, opt for it only if you have a Citroen service centre nearby, as the brand’s dealer network is still limited.
If you don’t need such a large car, then opt for the Kia Sonet. It offers a similar experience to your Kia Seltos with the added convenience of an automatic transmission.

I own a Wagon R and like its space, ease of driving, and entry/exit due to its tall, boxy doors and seats. I have back pain, often use a driver, and also use the back seat. While driving, I often deal with zigzag traffic in Bengaluru and don’t enjoy driving much. I test-drove the Nexon, but entry and exit were difficult due to the door shape. Which car should I buy as an upgrade, focusing on better safety, boot space, and modern features than the Wagon R, without spending too much?
You can consider upgrading to the Citroen Basalt. It checks most of your key boxes, easy access, a spacious cabin, and a large boot. It’s comparable in size to the Hyundai Creta but is priced closer to the Tata Nexon. While it includes all essential features, it misses out on a few wow elements like a sunroof and push-button start.

I am planning to replace my 2015 Polo petrol. I drive less than 10 km daily, and once every three months, I take a 1,100 km trip to my hometown. We are a family of three, and my budget is around ₹14 lakh. I am looking for a car with premium features and a petrol automatic turbo engine.
If you have a Citroen touchpoint nearby, the Basalt X could be worth considering. It offers a fantastic turbo-automatic powertrain and an excellent ride-handling balance, something you will appreciate. Its new feature set is quite good as well.
The Hyundai i20 N Line is another well-equipped hatchback that is good to drive too.
