Hello, I'm a Honda fanboy and looking to buy a new vehicle in 2026. Inclined towards a subcompact SUV. Will Honda launch the WRV? I have checked the Elevate and really liked it. But the automatic variant is above my budget. My regular usage will be on the highway, going to my hometown and back. Plus, once or twice a month 200 km one-sided and basic city runs on the weekends.
While there are plans for Honda to eventually re-enter the compact SUV segment, they are unfortunately very far away. While Honda is reportedly planning 10 new model launches for India by 2030, the compact SUV will likely be one of the last of these. Honda plans to first launch CBU-imported halo products, followed by a localised midsize electric car based on the Honda Zero Alpha, then new-gen ICE and hybrid replacements for the City and Elevate on a new platform. Finally, after these, there is a chance this new platform could be scaled down to a compact SUV once the development costs have been absorbed, but given the expected launch cycle, this won't be before 2028-29.
If you're really a fan of the Honda Elevate, see if you can stretch your budget to buy one new. Or better yet, check out the used market for a lightly-driven example that's not too old, which you should get at a better price. Check out Spinny for vetted and approved used examples.

My budget is โน10-11 lakh, and this will be my first car. My monthly driving will be less than 200km. Please suggest a suitable option.
Without knowing other requirements, it is hard to pinpoint the ideal car for you. However, given that you are a new driver, we will give greater weightage to ease of use and hassle-free ownership. Based on body style, here are a few suitable options to consider:
- Hatchback: Maruti Suzuki Swift
- Compact sedan: Honda Amaze, Maruti Suzuki Dzire
- Compact SUV/Crossover: Maruti Suzuki Fronx, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Exter

I need a car for my family under 15 lakhs. My height is 6 ft, so smaller cars are uncomfortable for me. I would like to go for a safe & reliable car. My running is under 500km monthly, with 80% city and 20% highway. I'm okay with a pre-owned car/SUV as well. Thanks!
Given your height, we feel a compact SUV will best suit your requirements. Among the models within your budget, the Kia Syros is the roomiest and will be very comfortable for your build. There's a lot of space at the back too, and the luggage room is also good.
This Kia car comes packed with plenty of safety kit as standard, and has the added reassurance of a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating. It is easy to drive, though the ride quality can feel slightly firm.
Of the other new options within your budget, the Nissan Magnite Turbo, Renault Kiger Turbo, Maruti Suzuki Brezza and lower trim versions of the Honda Elevate and Hyundai Creta are also worth a look.

I'm looking to buy my first car. Although I have good experience in driving cars, this will be my first own car. We are a family of 4 + 1 kid living in Kolkata and have a relocatable job (mostly in tier 1/2 cities). I'm looking for a long-term car (5+ years). Monthly, I need to drive ~500kms and 3/4 long drives in a year. Preferably automatic, as monthly 500kms are inside the city. Had evaluated Kylaq, Elevate, 3X0 and Brezza. Now with the Sierra and MG Hector 2026 models, I'm completely lost. Suggest
Since this is your first car, it's best to play it safe and go with a trusted brand you know will be reliable and cost-effective. The Maruti Suzuki Brezza, though not an exciting car, will best suit your needs. It is pretty spacious, has a smooth automatic option and is reasonably well-equipped.
If your budget allows, consider the Honda Elevate, which is more spacious than the Brezza and hence more comfortable for your 4+1 family. It has a bigger boot too. If you are relocated to a Tier 2 city, the Brezza will benefit from Maruti Suzukiโs extensive dealer network.

I want to buy my first car within a budget of โน15 lakh. Iโm considering the Honda Elevate CVT based on reliability. How is it, and is there any better option that is good in all aspects?
Yes, the Honda Elevate CVT will be a reliable option, and the SUV also delivers a good driving experience with a well-sorted ride and handling balance and a spacious interior. However, refinement is not good, and the engine does sound very strained when pushed a bit for performance.
You could thus also consider the Hyundai Creta iVT (CVT), which is a very good all-rounder, spacious and comfy and very refined to drive. Its engine and gearbox combination is working very well to deliver good performance and refinement.

Hi, I am currently driving a 2021 VW Taigun 1.0 MT with annual running of ~10,000 KM (60% City, 40% Highway). The car is running fine, but it becomes a pain in heavy city traffic due to constant gear shifting & turbo lag. I am confused between 3 options: (1) Get the cheapest possible city automatic like an S-presso AGS and use it with Taigun, (2) Get a proper AT like Amaze/i20 CVT or Brezza AT and upgrade Taigun after a few years, or (3) Sell Taigun and upgrade to a proper AT SUV. Please suggest.
The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso AGS, which has an AMT thought convenient, doesnโt offer a smooth driving experience because of the way AMTs work - their main weakness is that annoying pause in between gear shifts, which feels quite jerky and causes โhead nodโ, a term that is synonymous with AMTs.
Upgrading to a proper AT leaves you with very few options; some of the ATs are diesels, and the only mid-size SUV petrol AT is the Tata Sierra. Your option of getting a city-centric car, keeping the Taigun for highway driving, and upgrading it later makes the most sense.
The Honda Amaze, with its CVT transmission, makes the most sense as a city car. It is smooth and comfortable, taking the stress out of city driving, whilst the manual 1.0 Taigun is a solid highway car. The Taigun is due for a facelift around FebruaryโMarch 2026, and other new midsize SUVs, including an all-new Creta, are expected around 2027. So yes, hang on to your Volkswagen Taigun and pick up an Amaze for your city chores.

I am having a Honda City ZX 2006 model in very good condition, which has been driven 82000 kms. But nowadays, servicing costs are increasing due to ageing spare parts. Confused whether to retain the car or buy a new sedan, which comes with more features. Meanwhile, I don't want to spend much on a car because it is a depreciating asset. Please suggest a budget-friendly car with good mileage and safety features.
If you are happy with your old Honda City, why not consider the new one? It maintains the same traits of reliability, comfort, fun driving dynamics and a strong engine - all of which have improved considerably since 2006, while also packed with modern trappings and safety features.
If you want to lower your budget further, the Honda Amaze is worth considering. It is just a City in a more compact package and includes features such as six airbags and ADAS. This Honda car has also received a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating.

I am looking for a reliable car under โน16 lakh (on-road) for long-term use (10 to 12 years). My monthly running is 2000 km, primarily on highways. Which car should I go for?
The Honda Elevate will fit your requirements well. It should prove to be reliable and dependable in the long run, and within your budget, you can opt for the VX variant, which comes fairly well-equipped. This Honda car also gets features, like a single-pane sunroof, wireless charger, 17-inch machine-finished alloy wheels, and more.
Another safe option is the Hyundai Creta. Even in the EX(O) variant, it offers a panoramic sunroof, but it does miss out on a few features compared to the Elevate.

I am a loyal Honda customer and have driven an Accord in the Gulf and currently own a Honda City in India. I would now like to replace my car with an automatic. I am considering the Volkswagen Virtus, Hyundai Verna, and the Honda City e-HEV. Please advise.
The Honda City e-HEV is the best option for you. It is a spacious, comfortable, and feature-loaded sedan that is also very efficient. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is smooth and refined, and the electric motor adds a nice dose of performance, especially in the city.
The downsides are that the boot space is a bit small, and at Rs 19.48 lakh (ex-showroom), it is pricey. But since you love the Honda brand, the City e-HEV represents the best option out of the contenders you've mentioned.

Asked by: Devendra Samdanion Dec 22, 2025
I have a budget of โน10-12 lakh and have shortlisted two cars: the Tata Nexon Creative S+ AMT and the Honda Amaze ZX CVT. My monthly driving will not exceed 500 km. Since this will be my first car, I am a bit confused about which one to choose.
The Honda Amaze will offer a better ownership experience for you. Firstly, it's a CVT, which is smoother and much more responsive than the AMT in the Tata Nexon.
Itโs lighter and more agile than the Nexon too, which as a first-time owner makes it easier to drive and manouver especially in the city. Being a Honda car, you can expect it to be more reliable and easier to maintain. Itโs efficient and fairly spacious too, and for your budget, the Amaze is the right choice.
