Asked by: Rahul Hello - I’ve moved to Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and I’m planning to buy a new car by the end of December to get maximum discounts. My on-road budget is up to ₹15 lakh. My usage will be about 50 km per week, and I need good ground clearance because the roads here are poor. I’m unsure whether to pick an EV or an ICE car, and I don’t know if I should wait for any upcoming updates or facelifts (I noticed the Venue N Line was recently released). Please advise on the best option and whether I should wait or buy now. The new Hyundai Venue is an excellent choice which packs in all the modern tech and features. You may or may not opt for the N Line version, which adds cosmetic bits over the regular Venue to give it a sporty look and feel.Also, check out the Maruti Victoris. It is a larger, more spacious car, than the Hyundai Venue, and its suspension makes it more comfortable too.For your limited usage, it is better to opt for a petrol, since the premium you pay for an EV and its low running cost, will not be justified. Asked by: Dalip I’m buying my first petrol car for a hilly area with a budget of ₹10–12 lakh. My priorities are safety, comfort, fuel efficiency, and high ground clearance. Daily running will be no more than 40 km. Between the Maruti Brezza and Hyundai Venue, which variant suits me best? Please guide. The Hyundai Venue, with its turbo petrol engine, will be a better option for the hills due to its stronger performance, making it more effortless, especially when fully loaded. The Brezza is more spacious than the Venue, so if you usually travel with 5, you could consider it, or pick the Mahindra XUV3XO instead, which is as spacious and also gets a strong turbo engine. Asked by: Vishvesh Sawant I’ve shortlisted the Kia Sonet GTX Plus DCT and the Hyundai Venue HX8 DCT. Both are priced around ₹15.5 lakh. Which one should I choose, considering the HX8 misses out on Level 1 ADAS, Bose speakers, and an auto day/night IRVM? My monthly running is around 1,000km. I’m leaning toward the Sonet since it looks sportier than the new Venue, though it misses a few features. Please share your suggestion. Between the two, we would suggest the new Hyundai Venue. Being the newer generation, it's got a lot more tech, as you have mentioned, and it would also fare better when it comes to resale value.With the new car, Hyundai has also increased rear seat space, something that is tight on the old Venue and Kia Sonet. If a sporty look is what you're after, you could also check out the N Line variant of the Venue 2025. Asked by: Somesh Sen I want to buy a new automatic transmission car for my mother that's smooth. The car needs to be petrol/hybrid, compact, niggle-free, and have very good ground clearance because of the bad roads in our area. Also, the car must have an excellent, factory-fitted 360-degree camera that’s user-friendly for parking and navigating tight spaces. Our budget is flexible. The mileage is likely to be less than 300 km per month, mostly in the city, and the car will be used sparingly. We would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Victoris as it meets your requirements well. It comes with a strong-hybrid engine, a 360-degree camera, and more than sufficient ground clearance.However, given your low running, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza is also a great option. It may not have a strong hybrid option, but it offers a 360-degree camera, good ground clearance, and a smaller footprint, which will help your mother navigate and park the car easily. The interior space of this Maruti Suzuki car is also good, and the low-speed ride is comfortable and pliant. Can’t decide which car to buy?
