Asked by: HK Rath I am very happy with my Honda BR-V, but it’s time to change the car. Which model would be the best replacement for my BR-V? I drive about 20,000 km per year. Given that you still want a three-row MPV, you should consider the Kia Carens Clavis. This Kia car has a spacious and practical interior, it's feature-packed, and what's nice is that passengers will be comfortable in all three rows of seats. The Carens Clavis can be had with a 115hp, 1.5-litre petrol, a 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and a 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine options. However, given that your yearly running is high, it's best to opt for the diesel, which can even be had with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox for greater convenience. Asked by: Benny I own a 2010 Ritz diesel that has served me well. I’m looking to buy a new sub-4-metre car with an on-road budget of up to ₹13 lakh. My monthly driving is about 800 km, mostly in bumper-to-bumper city traffic, so I want an automatic with a torque-converter gearbox, fuss-free maintenance, and excellent city fuel economy. Please suggest suitable options. Given your requirements, you should choose between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. Both models come with petrol engines mated to a torque converter automatic gearbox, and being a Maruti car, you know they will be reliable and fuss-free to live with. The Brezza gets a 103hp, 136Nm, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine, and it has more interior space and features than the Fronx. The Fronx, meanwhile, gets a punchier 100hp, 147Nm, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, and it comes across as the better-looking model of the two thanks to its coupe-SUV-like design. In terms of fuel efficiency, the Brezza's naturally aspirated engine should be more efficient than the Fronx's turbo on your daily city commutes. Asked by: ANURAG GUPTA I want to buy a new petrol automatic SUV in the next 2–3 months. I’m deciding between the Tata Sierra, Maruti Victoris, Honda Elevate, and Toyota Hyryder. My driving split is roughly 70% city and 30% highway. Top priorities are passenger comfort and safety, with modern tech, low maintenance, and decent power. Which of these four is best for my needs? Out of all the options you've listed, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris seems to be the best fit for you. Since you drive majorly in the city, you'll appreciate the Victoris strong hybrid's refinement and efficiency, and it comes feature-packed with things like a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats and much more. The Victoris is also comfortable for four passengers, and being a Maruti car, it'll be easy and affordable to maintain as well. The Victoris has also received a full, 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. It's worth noting, however, that we're yet to review the Tata Sierra, so stay tuned to our channels. Asked by: Rohit Dhiman I currently own a 2016 Celerio CNG VXi and want to buy a new manual petrol or CNG car. I drive 1,000-1,200 km monthly, about 80% in the city, so good boot space is important - I prefer Maruti CNG models and don’t want a Tata. The car must have at least a 4-star safety rating, no sunroof, and a rear wiper/washer. My family dismissed the Tata and Skoda Kushaq but likes the Taigun Highline Plus, which is above our budget. Please suggest suitable options. Given your requirements, you should consider the Maruti Suzuki Victoris CNG. The Victoris' CNG tank is mounted under the car, so you don't lose out on boot space. It also gets all the features you want, and it has a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. Maruti Suzuki Victoris price (CNG) ranges from Rs 11.50 lakh to Rs 14.72 lakh (ex-showroom). Can’t decide which car to buy? Ask our experts and get answers to all your car related queries. Ask experts
