Asked by: Chinmay C Hi, I currently drive my car for 6,500-7000 km a year. 85% of my drive is within the city (mainly home-to-office) and 15% on NH. Looking to buy an Automatic Petrol car (SUV) with a Rs 15-16 lakh budget. Interested in a car with good handling, which is comfortable for 6-foot-tall people to sit, and has annual maintenance not in excess of Rs 10,000. Please advise. The Kia Syros is a good option given your requirements. It's not an SUV, but it has an incredibly roomy cabin, enough room for tall passengers in the seat, and has a lengthy equipment list as well.Since most of your driving is within the city, its easy driving manners and compact dimensions will offer an advantage. Kia's maintenance is also reasonably priced, and it should fit within your budget. Asked by: Suraj Nadar We are a family of two (newly married). I am confused between the i20 N Line N8 and the Verna 1.5 NA petrol manual. My budget is ₹16 lakh. Fuel preference is petrol manual. Brand preference is Hyundai, Kia, Honda, Volkswagen, and Skoda. My yearly usage is about 10,000-12,000 km, with 60% highway and 40% city driving. I am more concerned about mileage and want to know which of these two will be more fuel-efficient. While turbocharged engines theoretically could offer better efficiency, due to more air intake and thus better burning, they are very sensitive to driving style and in real-world scenarios return a lower mileage than a naturally aspirated engine (other factors being the same).This is because a turbo engine injects more fuel into the cylinder every time it senses upcoming knocking. This happens when you give a bit more throttle input than required. Thus, you will very likely see better mileage with the naturally aspirated Hyundai Verna. Asked by: NIKKHIL SATHE I have been using an Audi A6 for the past decade. I now want to purchase a new full-size luxury SUV with the latest tech features. My budget is ₹80 lakh on-road. I am willing to wait for new launches in 2026. I prefer a hybrid and am not fixated on any particular brand. I plan to use the vehicle for the next 15 years. Can you suggest a good luxury SUV that I can buy? At your price range, there aren't any full-size hybrid luxury SUVs, but you do have a few options. You could consider the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which, while not from one of the traditional luxury brands, offers comparable tech, space, and interior appointments to a full-size luxury SUV at excellent value for money.Alternatively, you would have to move a size down, but you can get an excellent, strong hybrid SUV in the form of the Lexus NX. It has a uniquely Japanese take on luxury, and its reputation for rock-solid reliability and low running costs means it will last you 15 years with little issue. Can’t decide which car to buy?
