Asked by: SHUBH KHANDELWAL I'm very confused between the following options: Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Suzuki Fronx, and Tata Punch. I would like to know whether I should opt for a CNG variant. For the given budget, you will get higher or fully loaded variants of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx and Tata Punch, compared to mid- or entry-level variants of the Brezza and Nexon, which are larger. So, you need to choose whether you prioritise features or a larger, more premium driving experience. Between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Tata Nexon, both are very competent offerings, although the Maruti will be more efficient and slightly easier to maintain. Opt for the CNG variant if your usage is high (only then will you benefit from its lower running costs) and if boot space is not a major concern. Asked by: Uday Oak I've been a Maruti user for three decades: Maruti 800, Zen (old jellybean), Swift, and S-Cross Alpha (Diesel). Now, I am looking for a replacement for the S-Cross. I need the car to be compact (sub-4m), powerful, and convenient to maintain. Diesel or petrol, no EV. Price is not an issue, up to INR 40L. Can you suggest something? Unfortunately, there aren't any 'premium' sub-4-metre cars on sale, despite your healthy ₹40 lakh budget. You could consider the VW Taigun 1.5 DSG or Skoda Kushaq 1.5 DSG, which are as compact as your S-Cross (though not under 4 metres in length). Both vehicles offer strong performance and are fun to drive. However, if you want something strictly smaller, the Skoda Kylaq is your best bet. Asked by: Akshay I am a new learner of cars and wanted to buy an automatic car under ₹11 lakh. My annual running will be 7,000 to 8,000 km. Mainly 60% driving within the city, and occasionally (3–4 trips out of town in a year). Looking for decent mileage, good safety. I am OK with a sedan or compact SUV. Please suggest the top 3 suggestions to match my criteria. I am confused between Dzire VXI AMT, Honda Amaze V CVT, and Mahindra 3XO MX2 Pro AT. The Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT, being a high-riding option, will give you a better seating position than the sedans you've listed, making it easier to judge the car's dimensions. For your occasional highway trips as well, the Mahindra's suspension is likely to offer slightly better comfort. The Mahindra XUV 3XO price in Thane (Maharashtra) for the MX2 Pro 1.2 Petrol AT is ₹10.54 lakh (ex-showroom). Asked by: Sandeep Jadhav I’ve owned a Unicorn 150cc for 15 years. Over the past year, I’ve started touring with a group in Pune. On a recent 500km return trip, the bike performed well, but I experienced saddle soreness and hand pain. I’d like your expert advice on upgrading to a bike in a higher cc class that’s best in the segment, suitable for city use and long-distance touring. I’m looking for excellent comfort, good mileage, strong ride and handling, better ergonomics and control, and dual-channel ABS. First off, congratulations on starting longer journeys aboard a motorcycle – a fun time lies ahead for you! Now, since you haven’t specified an exact displacement class or budget, it will be tough to recommend precisely. That said, since you mentioned wanting to step up to the next "cc class," that would be the 160cc sporty commuters. They can handle both city and highway duties, and the likes of the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 / NS160 make for solid upgrade options. However, do take long test rides of both these machines, since you are planning to do longer stints in the saddle now. Can’t decide which car to buy?
