Asked by: Bhupesh I’m planning to buy my first car and I’m looking for an automatic (torque converter) under 4 metres. I live in Hyderabad, and my daily commute is around 40km, 20km on highways and expressways, and the rest in city traffic. I also drive about 500-1000km once a month on weekends, mostly on highways. Please suggest whether petrol or diesel would be better. My requirements are solid build quality and a reliable car. P.S. No Maruti cars Since your daily usage is somewhat high and split between city and highway, a petrol car would suffice, but diesel is advisable. This also rules out Maruti Suzuki cars, as they are not offered with diesel engines.Best suited to your requirements would be the new Hyundai Venue or the Kia Syros, both of which offer state-of-the-art interiors, torque-converter automatic gearboxes, and smooth and efficient diesel engines. Asked by: Dattu We are now a family of five, and our Swift Dzire MT is about to complete 15 years. We’re looking for a reliable family car that offers: Longevity (around 10 years), good mileage, comfort for occasional road trips, and preferably, an automatic transmission with hill hold assist. The budget is ₹15 lakh (+/- ₹1 lakh, on-road). We can also wait for 3-4 months if a new car or facelift is expected. Please suggest the best available options. The Maruti Suzuki Brezza will suit your needs well. Its E20-compliant petrol engine is efficient, and the SUV feels comfortable and stable on highways during long trips. The torque converter automatic comes with hill hold assist, and within ₹15 lakh, you can get the top-spec variant with a good feature set.Since you already own a Dzire, you’ll also benefit from brand familiarity and Maruti Suzuki’s strong service network.
