Hyundai cars in India (16)

My budget is under Rs 12 lakh, and I want a petrol manual car. I currently drive a 17-year-old Maruti Dzire diesel and am looking to replace it with a compact SUV. My priorities are good highway performance, safety, decent fuel efficiency and a spacious cabin. I will sometimes drive the car myself, but it will mostly be chauffeur-driven. I have shortlisted the Mahindra XUV 3XO MPFi, but some people have advised me against buying it, leaving me unsure about its reliability. Should I go ahead with it or consider other options? At this price, I can also get the Hyundai Venue HX5+ and Maruti Victoris LXi. What would you suggest?

I currently drive a Ford EcoSport 1.0 EcoBoost and am planning to replace it with a new car. I am considering two options: the Hyundai i20 N Line N8 DCT and the Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX A. We are a young family of three, with a toddler, and the car will primarily be used for 70% city driving and 30% highway driving. We are based in a relatively remote part of the country, where road conditions, service accessibility and long-distance usability are important considerations. My priorities are safety, driving engagement, rear-seat comfort and ease of long-term ownership. Considering these requirements, which car would you recommend and why? In particular, does the XUV 3XO's larger boot and higher ground clearance make it a more practical family choice? Is the i20 N Line significantly more engaging to drive and better suited to everyday city use? How do the two compare in terms of rear-seat comfort, ride quality and highway stability? Which offers a more dependable ownership experience, especially considering the DCT versus a torque-converter automatic? If you had to choose one for the next seven to nine years, which would it be?

Hello team, I currently drive a 2023 Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI manual and am planning to buy a second car. My weekly running is around 700km. I live in Mysore and commute to my office in Bengaluru twice a week. I had booked the Tata Punch EV, but was hesitant about its sales and service network. Unfortunately, I also faced an issue with the dealer, who suddenly increased the price while I was waiting for the car, even after I had paid the booking amount. I cancelled the booking and started looking at diesel cars instead. I do not want to spend too much on my second car. I tried a few used diesel cars through Spinny, but most had multiple previous owners and high mileage. What I am really looking for is a car that delivers over 20kpl. I am considering the Kia Sonet diesel, but I have heard that the next-generation model is due to launch. However, there is no official launch date yet. Should I wait for the new model or book the current Sonet?

I am planning to upgrade from Skoda Rapid Monte Carlo 1.0 AT (2020) to a family-friendly SUV. Considering the new Renault Duster Hybrid and Hyundai Creta IVT/Turbo Petrol. With ageing parents and a 9-month-old baby, my priorities are easy ingress and egress, spacious rear seats and good boot space. My annual running is around 5,000 km which mostly involves city driving. Which SUV would you recommend?

I have finalised Sonet HTK plus and Hyundai Venue HX5. Please suggest me which one is better for city comfort, riding and overall is a better choice.
