Asked by: Ravi Vardhan After comparing various sedans, I have liked the Verna SX(O) DCT Turbo the best. I drive about 500 km a month and occasionally make road trips of around 400 km one way. Is this car a good choice? While the Hyundai Verna DCT is good, the Skoda Slavia would be a better highway car. It is more stable, the engine and gearbox are smoother, and it is more spacious too.

Asked by: Soumya Sinha I have been your regular follower for more than two decades. I’m confused between the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Asta AMT and the Maruti Suzuki Ignis Alpha AGS. This car will primarily be driven by my wife. Please share your views. Thank you for being our long-time reader and viewer; we really appreciate it!While both cars are a little old now, they’re still very competent at what they do, and each has its own small advantages. The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios offers a better back seat and boot, in case that is your priority.However, if it is not, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Ignis for a few reasons. It’s more fuel-efficient, with an ARAI-rated Maruti Ignis mileage of 20.89 kmpl. its slightly taller stance makes ingress and egress easier with great forward visibility. Plus, it’s a bit more compact, which really helps with maneuverability in the city.

Asked by: Anil Goyal I own a 2019 Honda City Automatic (48,000 km, no issues) and a Skoda Octavia 2023 for outstation use. I need a moderate automatic SUV for personal city driving. My maximum budget is ₹12-15 lakh. Please suggest suitable models. Thanks and regards. The Kia Syros is a good city car with compact dimensions without sacrificing interior space. The automatic gearbox is smooth, it is light to drive in the city, and the gearbox is smooth too. Another option worth waiting for is the newly revealed Hyundai Venue.

Asked by: Avi Rohila My weekly commute is around 500 km, solo, and 95% of my driving is on highways. I want a car that offers both power and fuel efficiency. My budget is ₹10 lakh. The Tata Altroz diesel manual would be a good choice as it fits your budget and offers decent power for highway use, along with good efficiency. If you prefer an SUV, the Mahindra Bolero Neo is also a solid option.

Asked by: Yarlagadda Mouli I want to replace my 2017 Dominar 400, but I can’t buy a new one since it’s over my budget. I enjoy riding at triple-digit speeds on highways. Please suggest a suitable replacement under ₹2 lakh (ex-showroom). Considering your budget and familiarity with the Bajaj Dominar 400, you can look at the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z. It recently received updates with more power and better cycle parts, and despite the GST 2.0 changes, its price hasn’t increased.

Asked by: Sunil K Upadhaya Please suggest a petrol / mild hybrid / hybrid / EV SUV within ₹15-20 lakh. My driving is mostly in the city with around 150 km daily and interstate trips every quarter with a family of five. For your extensive city drives, an EV car will be the best choice. Given your budget, requirement for range and space, consider the MG Windsor in its Essence Pro guise. It gets a 52.9 kWh battery with a real world range of over 400km and lots of room in the cabin with a good set of features as well.

Asked by: Rajan Maximum budget ₹8L to 10L. Third row space is a must. The Toyota brand is my first preference. The Renault Triber is a well-packaged MPV with a good third row. Renault Triber price ranges between ₹6.93 - ₹10.01 Lakh in Chennai, which is within your budget. Your preferred option would be the Toyota Rumion, based on the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, but that starts at Rs 12 lakh on-road.
