Hi team, I am planning to buy new compact SUV under 20 lakhs, confused between New Hyundai venue petrol dct and diesel tc. I heard diesel is not fuel efficient and dct is overheating if we drive more in traffic. I prefer diesel cars but iam not able to find a better mileage diesel automatic cars in the segment. I am open to any other compact SUV that should feature tech listed, fuel efficient, long engine lifespan, mainly should be sub 4 meter. Please suggest.
The Hyundai Venue with a diesel-automatic powertrain is efficient, but it would be more efficient with a manual gearbox. However, compared to a petrol-DCT, the diesel will definitely be better if mileage is the priority. The other option would be the Tata Nexon, which also has a frugal diesel engine. The downside, is the AMT gearbox that isn't as smooth or efficient as the torque converter on the Venue.
The Hyundai car also has more features, a well-sorted and high-quality cabin and a better after-sales network.

I own a Dzire petrol car and want to replace it with a new petrol car. Please suggest the best petrol car in the โน10-12 lakh range.
Without knowing your exact requirements, it would be hard to recommend one. If you've had a good experience with your Maruti Dzire, it might be worth considering the new-gen Dzire, which comes feature-packed. It also has received a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. Plus, this Maruti car also gets a smooth and efficient 1.2-litre petrol engine that can be had with either a 5-speed manual or AMT auto gearbox options.
If you prefer a hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20 are good options in this budget. As for compact SUVs, there are a plethora of options available like the Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, and more.

Iโm looking for an automatic SUV under โน14 lakh and am deciding between the Tata Nexon DCA and the new 2025 Hyundai Venue DCT. This will be my first automatic car, and my daily usage is about 80 km. Which of these offers the best value for money given my requirements?
On pure value for money alone, the Tata Nexon DCA appears to come out on top, as prices of its model range on the whole are lower than the new Hyundai Venue, which gets pricey at the top end. However, Hyundai offers its Venue 1.0 petrol DCT in lower and mid-range variants too, including the N Line N6 version, while the Tata car has just one Petrol DCT variant that falls into your budget.
You would have to go beyond Rs 14 lakh to gain access to more features in the Tata. Plus, the Venue is the newer vehicle with slightly more up-to-date tech, and its turbo-petrol DCT is the smoother powertrain too.
Hence, we would recommend checking out the Hyundai Venue.

I'm looking to upgrade my 2016 Celerio (manual) to a non-Maruti non-AMT automatic in the next 1 or 2 years within a budget of 12-15 lakhs on road. My usage would be 1000km monthly (80% city and 20% highways) plus occasional highway trips. My priorities are hassle-free maintenance & service experience, good resale value, mileage, driving comfort, lower NVH levels, jerk-free transmission, driver handrest, wireless Android auto, height adjustable ventilated seat, 360 camera. No sunroof. Please suggest.
In 1 to 2 years, there would be differences from what is available in the segment today. However, based on what's likely to be around, we would recommend you look at the Hyundai Venue, which meets your requirements of a good service experience, good resale value and being feature-packed.

Hi Autocar, I have booked the Creta King Edition 1.5 Turbo DCT. Now, as the new Kia Seltos is in line for launch, should I wait for it or go ahead with my booked car? When can we expect the delivery of the new-gen Kia Seltos? I am quite impressed by the co-passenger electric seat in the Creta King. Will we get that in the next-gen Kia Seltos?
While we don't have the features list for the new Kia Seltos yet, it is likely that it will get a powered front passenger seat with a boss mode for operation from the rear as well. We will know more when the new Kia Seltos makes its world debut on December 10.
This new-gen Kia car is expected to grow in size, with the price announcement not before January 2026, and deliveries only later in Q1 2026.
Therefore, if you'd prefer to get your car sooner, you might be better off going ahead with your booking of the Hyundai Creta King. It remains the midsize SUV segment benchmark for now and is a well-rounded and fully loaded package.

Iโm looking to buy a new compact SUV and am conflicted between the Sonet 1.2-litre petrol and the Maruti Brezza (1.5-litre petrol). My main concern is fuel efficiency - Iโve heard the Brezzaโs 1.5 is more efficient than the Sonetโs 1.2. Iโm also considering the Sonet diesel manual. My monthly running is about 1,000-1,200 km, mostly on highways. Which one should I buy?
Given that your usage is relatively high and mainly on the highway, you should go for the Kia Sonet diesel MT. Its strong pulling power compared to the naturally aspirated petrol engines you have mentioned will allow for more effortless cruising and overtaking, and the fuel efficiency will be considerably better too.
You should also consider the new Hyundai Venue, as it is a bit more modern and more spacious than the Sonet. As for the fuel economy of the petrol engines, it depends on your driving style and conditions. Since your driving is mainly on the highway, the larger, more powerful 1.5-litre petrol in the Maruti Suzuki Brezza would likely be more efficient on the whole, as it would be less strained at higher speeds than the Sonet's 1.2 petrol.

I am about to buy an automatic, petrol, 7-seater car, keeping the next 12 years in mind. Based on my budget, I have shortlisted the XUV700 AX5 and the Hyundai Alcazar Prestige (DCT). I am a moderate user; my current car has done only around 35,000 km in the last 12 years. My usage is a mix of highway and city driving. If I choose mileage, I feel the Alcazar is better, but in terms of build size and looks, I prefer the XUV700 AX5. I am a bit puzzled between these two. Any suggestions?
The Mahindra XUV700 is more spacious and has a punchier engine. Since you plan to hold on to your cars for a long time, we'd recommend you wait till the first quarter of 2026, when Mahindra brings in the updated XUV700 with the latest in terms of tech and features.
Another option which you may consider is the upcoming Tata Safari petrol AT - as a seven-seater, it is likely to be comfier than the XUV700 and Hyundai Alcazar.

I am looking for a car with easy ingress and egress for my mother, who is a senior citizen with joint pains. She has trouble getting in and out of my Swift. She finds the Wagon R very easy for ingress and egress, but I do not want to move from a Swift to a Wagon R. Hence, I am looking for cars that offer a similar seat height from the ground, where it does not feel like she has to climb into the car or get down to seat height, both of which are difficult for her.
The Tata Punch will be a good option and thanks to its high seating and tallboy design, getting in and out will be very easy for her. You could also look at the petrol version of the new Hyundai Venue, which will seem like an upgrade from your Maruti Swift, while meeting all other requirements.

My dad currently drives a 2018 Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Diesel manual, which has run around 1.2 lakh km. He is 65 and mostly drives in the city. We are planning to switch to an automatic for better comfort and convenience. 1. Should we retain the existing Dzire for a few more years or sell it now, considering running cost, age, and expected resale value? 2. If we go for a replacement, is the Maruti Fronx AMT a good upgrade? Any other automatic options (under โน10โ11 lakh on-road) that would be.
If you have a need for a second car, it makes sense to retain the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. However, if the vehicle is going to be parked for extended periods of time, minor issues could arise, leading to recurring maintenance costs. As far as resale value goes, you might want to get your vehicle from a reputed used car platform such as Spinny to find out its fair price.
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT is a good replacement - its engine is peppy, AMT (automatic) is smooth by segment standards, and the overall experience is likely to be quite trouble-free. You could also consider a Hyundai i20 IVT for its smoother automatic transmission and refined engine.

I purchased a Verna Turbo SX(O) DCT automatic in December 2024. Will the cost of ownership be higher in the years to come, considering spare parts and service costs? What would be its resale value now? The car has done 5,600 km to date.
It is too soon to worry about the maintenance and upkeep costs - you have just bought the Hyundai Verna in December 2024, and have barely driven it for parts to wear and warrant a replacement. So to answer your question, to keep any car in top shape, you will need to spend on its regular service and replacement parts (as required), which will drive up the costs over time.
However, it might not make much sense to sell your barely used vehicle for fear of (future) upkeep costs. If you insist on selling, keep in mind that demand for sedans isn't healthy in the new car market to begin with, which will certainly affect its residual value in the used car market, so be prepared to take a huge depreciation hit. Try getting it evaluated by some reputed used car platforms, such as Spinny, to get a good idea of what value you can expect.
