Asked by: Rohit Manchandaon Nov 18, 2025
Hi, I am a regular reader of your page. Your suggestions are excellent. I want to buy a 5-seater diesel car. My running is around 1,500 km per month, and my budget is Rs 12-15 lakh. Is the Tata Nexon diesel AMT a good option?
While the Tata Nexon AMT is a good choice, the Kia Sonet would be a better buy. It has a nicer, well-finished interior, the infotainment and touchscreen interface is a lot better, and the overall quality is nicer.
The diesel engine, too, is more refined, and the torque converter automatic gearbox is smoother than the AMT. You also get more equipment and kit, and Kia's aftersales is better than what Tata offers.
The downsides are space in the rear is not as much as the Nexon, but if that is not a high priority for you, the Kia Sonet diesel is a very strong option worth considering. The HTX variant in particular.

Hi Autocar team, need your expert suggestion. I have a 5-year-old petrol Nexon Automatic (XZA+). I'm fed up with the regular mechanical faults (one or another) and am now looking to change my car to another automatic. My preferences are safety, low maintenance, reliability, fuel economy, good interior, and comfort . I have a stretched budget of 12-13 lakhs for the automatic gearbox. Which car should I buy?
Since you are coming from a Tata Nexon, we'd recommend you narrow down your choices to the VXI AT variant of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and the G Turbo AT variant of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor.
Both options are fuel efficient, pack in all the safety features, and come with the peace of mind associated with their respective brands. The Brezza is a bit more spacious, while the Taisor offers stronger performance.

My budget is โน11 lakh on-road in Delhi. I need a reliable petrol car for long-term use, suitable for highways and hilly terrain. It should seat five adults comfortably, have good boot space, low NVH levels, and feel solid and robust. Iโd prefer the engine to stay under 2,500 rpm at 100โ110 kmph. Iโm open to hatchbacks or sub-compact SUVs. Please advise.
The Tata Nexon fits your requirements for its space for 5 adults, decent boot, strong turbo-petrol engine, and six gears; however, engine revs while cruising will be quite low.

Iโm confused between the new Venue diesel and the Nexon CNG because of mileage. I also want good boot space, features, and safety. Suggest which variant or any other car to consider.
Both models are good in their own ways. The Hyundai Venue diesel feels stronger, and the performance advantage counts for a lot on highway drives. Fuel economy is also good be it in the city or out on the highway. Boot space is fair, and there are plenty of features, especially in the higher-spec variants of this Hyundai car.
However, modern BS6 diesels make most sense if you drive a lot and frequently use highways. This is because highway driving gives the DPF (diesel particulate filter) an opportunity to regenerate; failure to do so can cause engine trouble.
If your running is primarily in the city, a CNG might make more sense. The Tata Nexon CNG is a good choice, offering CNG flexibility with ample boot space thanks to its clever twin-cylinder layout.

The Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG is another option worth looking at, though it does come with a significantly smaller boot.

Iโm currently using a Tata Tiago Diesel XZ (2020) and want to upgrade to a diesel SUV under 4 metres. My daily running is about 15-20km. Please suggest suitable options.
There are 4 diesel compact SUV options you can choose from. The new second-gen Hyundai Venue makes for a great choice and is now better than its cousin from Kia, the Sonet. The Hyundai and Kia torque converter automatic gearbox is a highlight in case you are looking for an auto.
You could also look at the Mahindra XUV 3XO and Tata Nexon, though weโd recommend the Mahindra car overall. For a detailed comparison between the two, read the Mahindra XUV 3XO vs Tata Nexon diesel article.
Do note, given your limited running, a diesel SUV isn't an ideal choice. Not only will it be more expensive than a petrol SUV to buy, but it will also require more care to keep the systems running without issue. BS6 diesel engines require slightly longer running, ideally on a highway, to let the diesel particulate filter (DPF) regenerate properly.
There are plenty of petrol sub-4m SUVs that you can look at.

Asked by: Sauravon Nov 10, 2025
Hi, I need your advice for buying my first car. Iโm choosing between three options: XUV 3XO (AX5 variant), Tata Nexon (Creative), and the New Hyundai Venue (HX5 1.0). Which one should I pick, and why?
The Mahindra XUV 3XO has the best rear seat space and comfort. The ride, while not as good as the Nexon, is still good enough. It gets good equipment, and the performance is good too. The Nexon has the best ride quality but isn't as fun to drive as the others, so unless ride quality is a high-priority requirement, the Mahindra is the better choice than the Tata. The Venue is high on features, it is new and fresh in terms of design, and it has a well-equipped cabin. However, it falls short on rear seat space. As an overall package, the Mahindra XUV 3XO is the better bet overall.

Iโm looking for a car for my dad. Heโs a sedate driver, with daily usage of around 20-30 km and occasional highway trips. Annual running may be around 10,000 km. I want an automatic SUV with decent mileage. Iโve shortlisted the Tata Nexon Pure Plus AMT and the Skoda Kylaq Signature AT. Which would be the better choice? If not these, what would you recommend?
Of the two options you have shortlisted, the Skoda Kylaq is the one we'd recommend. It has a smoother automatic gearbox, which your dad will appreciate. Do note, the Kylaq's rear seat isn't as spacious as the Tata Nexon's, in case that is a requirement for you.
If you don't mind increasing your budget, the ideal fit for your father would be the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, the VXI AT variant. It's got a smooth gearbox, comfortable ride quality, and a practical interior. Fuel efficiency is decent, and performance is adequate.

I want a mid-size/compact SUV for a family of five. My budget is โน13 lakh and my top priorities are safety and fuel efficiency. Which models should I consider?
The Tata Nexon in Creative trim with the diesel engine will be a good choice. It has good space for a family and is practical too. In your budget, the Creative spec gets a decent spec list with a 360-degree camera, cruise control, and a sunroof, among others. The diesel engine is efficient, and the Nexon is also rated 5 stars in Bharat NCAP crash tests and gets a host of safety features.

I currently own an Alto K10, which is 15 years old. I plan to upgrade to an SUV or hatchback (petrol or hybrid). My budget is โน12-13 lakh. Around 70 percent of my driving is on highways and 30 percent in the city, covering 900-1,000 km monthly. I want good mileage, comfort, safety, and ample rear legroom.
The Tata Nexon diesel would suit your needs well. Its 1.5-litre diesel engine is both efficient and strong on the highway. This Tata car offers good rear-seat space, and the ride comfort is the best in the segment. The Creative MT variant fits within your budget while offering all essential features.

I am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and the Tata Nexon. My usage will be limited to around 500 km per month. Please suggest.
Given your limited usage, a petrol car would make the most sense, as it would be more cost-effective than a diesel or CNG car. Without knowing much more about your requirements, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Brezza between the two options.
Its petrol engine is smoother and more efficient than the Tata Nexonโs, and both its 6-speed automatic and 5-speed manual gearboxes are smoother.
