My car usage is hardly 300km per month. I am planning to buy a new vehicle since my current car is 15 years old. I am 68 yrs of age and drive myself. I mostly do city driving. Which car should I buy? My budget is anything between 14 and 17 lakh.

The Honda Elevate would be a good choice for you, given your usage and requirements. It is equipped with a smooth 1.5-litre petrol engine with the option of a convenient CVT gearbox that is perfect for city drives.
The seats are comfortable, and the suspension performs well over bumps and bad roads. The seat height makes getting in and out easy, without much crouching or discomfort. The V CVT offers a well-appointed interior with the necessary features, and the Honda badge brings with it peace of mind and reliability.

We are a family of four (two children - one aged 3 years and the other an infant). Please suggest a good car within a budget of ₹10 lakh (can extend up to ₹11 lakh). Our usage will be 90 % city and 10 % long drives/highways. Our priorities are good safety, easy maintenance, essential features, and reasonable mileage (which can be compromised a bit if other criteria are met). I was considering the Honda Amaze (CVT), but I’m open to suggestions, including hatchbacks or compact SUVs. Please suggest good automatic options (1st preference CVT or eCVT, and if not available, AMT or others).

You're on the right track with the Honda Amaze CVT. For a small family like yours, it's the right size of vehicle - compact enough for city use and spacious enough for four. Plus, for your occasional highway drives, it feels quite surefooted and even gets ADAS features on the top-spec version that should take some of the stress out of highway driving. 

It has also achieved a 5-star Bharat NCAP crash test rating, and it comes with most essential features that you might want.

I currently own a Maruti Ritz VXi petrol MT and am considering buying either the Maruti Brezza AT or the Honda Amaze CVT. Which one should I go for? My budget is Rs 15 lakh.

While the Honda Amaze CVT is an excellent car, since your budget goes all the way up to Rs 15 lakh, we would recommend stretching to the superior Maruti Brezza AT.
For one, you've already lived with a Maruti, and are thus already integrated into the aftersales and service network. You could even seek out a loyalty bonus from your local dealer. That aside, the Brezza is a larger, more spacious vehicle with a larger and more powerful engine. And while the Honda's CVT is smooth, the Brezza's 6-speed torque converter AT is smoother still, although fuel economy isn't quite as good as a result.
That said, if you can wait a little while, a facelift of the Brezza is expected in the coming months, which should offer even more creature comforts.

Hi Autocar India team, I am planning to upgrade from my 2017 Maruti Suzuki Celerio automatic, which I currently use for about 7,000 km per year. I will mostly drive on highways, and I require a vehicle with a strictly automatic transmission and cruise control as a must-have feature. My budget is ₹11-₹11.5 lakh (all-inclusive). I am currently considering the Maruti Suzuki Baleno Alpha AGS and the Honda Amaze ZX CVT. Could you please advise which of these two automatic options would be better suited to my needs, particularly in terms of: Highway driving comfort and stability Transmission performance and responsiveness Fuel efficiency Feature set and overall value Long-term reliability and ownership costs Thank you.

The Honda Amaze ZX CVT is the one we'd recommend for you. It's got the smoother gearbox, which has a big bearing on your overall highway experience. Further, the Amaze also feels more confident at highway speeds. The Amaze doesn't stand out for tech features, but it packs in all the essentials (touchscreen, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, cruise control, and auto climate control) and more to ensure a comfortable drive. 

A key differentiator on the Amaze is ADAS, which adds a layer of protection, especially on highway drives. Also, Honda's CVT is reliable. In general, the Amaze is a hassle-free car. 

Where the Amaze trails the Maruti Baleno is in fuel economy. The Baleno's AMT ekes out a better real-world economy than the Amaze's CVT. Even so, as a package, the Amaze is the one for you.

Asked by: Ramesh Jon Jan 25, 2026

Is it possible to customise the 2024 Amaze with all the new 2026 model features, like 6 airbags, ADAS, 360-degree camera, rear AC, etc.?

No fitting things like airbags and ADAS are a very complex affair. It isn't like fitting a music system or a new horn. To work properly or even at all, these systems need deep integration with the electronics and the mechanical systems, which is nearly impossible to retrofit. If you would like these new features, your only real option would be to sell your Amaze and buy one that has these features.

Asked by: Mmmon Jan 23, 2026

Which is better: Honda Elevate ZX automatic or Toyota Hyryder V petrol automatic?

The Honda Elevate is the better of the two. The biggest difference is in the powertrain. Honda’s 1.5 litre is far superior to the Toyota Hyryder’s Maruti-sourced 1.5 litre engine. Plus, the Honda car is more spacious, has a large boot, and is nicer to drive. Both cars are very reliable and are backed by good service. Overall, the Elevate is our pick.

I am looking for my second car with a stylish design, best ground clearance, 5-star safety, and top features like Level 2 ADAS, tyre monitoring system, sunroof, large boot, and cruise control. My preferences are Curvv, new Duster, XL6, Harrier, or Toyota cars. Please advise which would be the best suitable option and which variant as well. My usage is about 60% city and 40% highway, with a budget of ₹15 lakh.

None of the cars you have shortlisted have Level 2 ADAS, within your budget of Rs 15 lakhs. Since this is a must-have, you may consider the Tata Nexon, which satisfies all your requirements. It includes a 5-star crash safety rating, ADAS, tyre pressure loss indicator, sunroof, cruise control, and its boot space is quite respectable too. Also, the Nexon feels tough, and its ride comfort is very good for your city and highway drives. 

If you are comfortable with sedans, then the Honda City and Hyundai Verna meet all your requirements, and have a much larger boot than all the compact SUVs on sale. Between the two, the Verna feels more modern, and is a bit more refined, too.

Asked by: Sanjay Pandayon Jan 22, 2026

I am considering buying the Honda Elevate CVT. I drive approx 10,000 KM a year max. Of this, 90% is in the city and the rest on highways. I understand that the Elevate is not the most popular compact SUV, but my research tells me it may be a value buy. I am not a fan of too many gadgets, as most people never end up using all that they pay for. And the attraction goes off once the car gets a bit old. Hence, I would rather save on frills and focus on reliability, mileage, and safety. What is your take on this car?

Since you aren't a fan of too many gadgets in your car, the Honda Elevate makes sense for you. This SUV is spacious, comfortable, and easy to drive, especially with the CVT automatic. Being a Honda car, it will also be reliable and give you that peace of mind.
The only downside is that the petrol engine is not the most efficient. In our time with the Honda Elevate CVT, we managed between 10-11kpl in the city, which is decent. On the whole, the Honda Elevate is an SUV that’s got the fundamentals right, and while it’s a frill-free SUV, it’s a fuss-free one, too.

I am a 44-year-old male with a right leg disc issue. My budget is Rs 10 to 12 lakh, and my height is 5 feet 10 inches. I will be driving mostly in the city. Please advise whether I should buy an automatic or a manual car.

Given your right leg disc issue and predominantly city driving, an automatic car is strongly recommended. It will significantly reduce strain on your leg and make daily driving far more comfortable.
Within a Rs 10 to 12 lakh budget, look for cars with a smooth, relaxed automatic and easy ingress. The Honda Amaze CVT is one of the most comfortable city cars. The CVT is smooth, the driving position is relaxed and running costs are low. It is especially easy to live with in stop-start traffic.
At similar money you can also consider the Skoda Kylaq automatic, which has been introduced in the new mid Classic Plus variant. It is really well priced at under Rs 11 lakh on-road and doesn’t stint on features. You get a premium kit such as a sunroof, automatic wipers, cruise control and steering-mounted controls. Being an SUV, ingress and egress are easy, and overall, the Kiyaq is a comfortable, easy car to drive in city conditions.

Hi team, I have been using a Baleno Delta MT for the past 9 years and am now looking to change my car. My preference is a midsize SUV with an automatic transmission. My budget is around Rs 15 lakh. Please suggest a good option.

If you want to buy a midsize SUV, we would suggest stretching your budget slightly, as the automatic versions of the Honda Elevate, Hyundai Creta, and Kia Seltos sit just above this price point.
Among these, the recently launched Seltos HTE(O) CVT stands out as the best pick. While the model itself is new, the 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with the CVT automatic is a proven and reliable powertrain that has been in use across earlier Seltos models and several Hyundai cars for years.
This Kia car also offers good space and a comfortable ride, and even the lower HTE(O) variant is well-equipped with features such as a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an electronic parking brake with auto hold, and a 60:40 split folding rear seat.
