Asked by: Pendurthi Prasanon Dec 4, 2025
I own a Dzire petrol car and want to replace it with a new petrol car. Please suggest the best petrol car in the โน10-12 lakh range.
Without knowing your exact requirements, it would be hard to recommend one. If you've had a good experience with your Maruti Dzire, it might be worth considering the new-gen Dzire, which comes feature-packed. It also has received a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. Plus, this Maruti car also gets a smooth and efficient 1.2-litre petrol engine that can be had with either a 5-speed manual or AMT auto gearbox options.
If you prefer a hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20 are good options in this budget. As for compact SUVs, there are a plethora of options available like the Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, and more.

My dad currently drives a 2018 Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Diesel manual, which has run around 1.2 lakh km. He is 65 and mostly drives in the city. We are planning to switch to an automatic for better comfort and convenience. 1. Should we retain the existing Dzire for a few more years or sell it now, considering running cost, age, and expected resale value? 2. If we go for a replacement, is the Maruti Fronx AMT a good upgrade? Any other automatic options (under โน10โ11 lakh on-road) that would be.
If you have a need for a second car, it makes sense to retain the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. However, if the vehicle is going to be parked for extended periods of time, minor issues could arise, leading to recurring maintenance costs. As far as resale value goes, you might want to get your vehicle from a reputed used car platform such as Spinny to find out its fair price.
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT is a good replacement - its engine is peppy, AMT (automatic) is smooth by segment standards, and the overall experience is likely to be quite trouble-free. You could also consider a Hyundai i20 IVT for its smoother automatic transmission and refined engine.

My monthly usage will be about 400 km inside the city, and I will make long trips twice a year. Iโm considering upgrading from my Xcent to the Venue. I need your insights to decide between the Venue HX6 1.2 litre and the HX6 DCT versions. Iโm particularly concerned about the 1.0/1.2 engineโs reliability and the DCTโs maintenance requirements.
The 1.0-litre turbo petrol with the DCT has been used across several Hyundai and Kia cars, such as the Venue, i20 and the Sonet, and has proven reliable over time.
Hyundai has also improved the gearboxโs smoothness, making it a well-rounded powertrain. Compared with the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine, the turbo offers a significant performance advantage, especially on the highway, and the 1.2-litre does not offer an automatic option either.

Iโm buying my first car and want an automatic hatchback for mainly city driving with occasional long trips. My budget is around โน12 lakh. Iโm torn between the Hyundai i20 and the Tata Altroz - Iโm worried about Tataโs after-sales service and the i20โs mileage. Iโve researched for months and still need guidance. Thanks!
If you are looking for a peace of mind ownership experience, we suggest the Hyundai i20. Its smooth 1.2 litre four cylinder petrol engine and CVT transmission make city driving a breeze. You can choose the Hyundai i20 Sportz or Sportz O variant depending on your feature preferences.
As for efficiency, neither the i20 nor the Tata Altroz will be rated as very good, but both offer acceptable figures for what they deliver.

Asked by: Ankush Agrawalon Nov 27, 2025
I want to buy a car for Pune with high ground clearance. I have had past experience with excessive noise from a 3-cylinder engine. Is there any car with a 4-cylinder engine, high ground clearance (above 180 mm), under 4 metres in length, and an automatic transmission other than AMT? Please suggest.
The Maruti Suzuki Brezza will fit your requirements really well. It is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, which is mated to a 6-speed torque-converter transmission. The engine is smooth, and gearbox combination makes it easy to drive in traffic. There is ample ground clearance on offer as per your requirement.
Another good and more reasonable option in terms of price would have been the Hyundai i20 with the iVT transmission. This Hyundai car has a smooth 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine paired to a CVT automatic transmission, which makes driving a pleasure. Yes, it doesnโt have as much ground clearance as the Brezza, but in our experience, for most situations in the city, you will be fine with the Hyundai hatch.

Asked by: Rangarajon Nov 27, 2025
Hi, I am planning to buy an automatic car under 10 Lakh rupees. I was in a dilemma between the i20 Sportz IVT and the Tata Altroz Creative AMT. Which one would suit both city and highway driving with good fuel efficiency? Please advise.
Pick the AMT version of the Tata Altroz only if fuel efficiency is extremely important to you. Do keep in mind, the AMT is quite jerky, and the drive won't be as seamless as the Hyundai i20 CVTs or as the Altroz DCA's, both of which are far smoother options.
If you love the Altroz for what it is, consider spending a bit more and getting the dual-clutch automatic version for a much superior drive experience.

I want to buy my first car. I am 43 years old. I have booked a pre-owned Hyundai i20 Sportz, 2023 registration, which has only run 9,500 km and has no dents or major scratches, at Rs 6.35 lakh. At the same time, if I spend Rs 2 lakh more, I can get a new Hyundai Exter SX model at Rs 8.35 lakh. What should I do? Should I buy the pre-owned i20 or the new Exter at Rs 8.35 lakh? Please reply this time.
If you don't mind owning a pre-owned car, and have thoroughly checked the vehicle for accident, flood, or any other damages, the i20 will feel like a much superior car than the Hyundai Exter - its quality is better, its cabin is more spacious, and it feels more confident while driving too.
We'd suggest going ahead with the 2023 Hyundai i20. You could also consider extending its warranty for added peace of mind.

I am confused between the i20 N Line N8 DCT and the new Venue N Line N6 DCT. Looking at trends, SUVs are favourable, but I like the features and looks of the i20 N Line. My budget is 12-13 lakhs. Please advise.
If you enjoy driving, the Hyundai i20 N Line is the pick for you. Its tweaked steering and suspension make it genuinely fun to drive.
The Hyundai Venue N Line is more of a cosmetic update and doesn't drive very differently from a standard Venue. Further, the i20 N Line N8 packs in a lot more features and equipment than the Venue N Line N6.

Asked by: Dinesh Kumaron Nov 17, 2025
I've driven only 23,000 km in 9 years and use my car very little. I'm planning to upgrade to an automatic hatchback within a โน15 lakh budget. I first considered the Swift and Altroz, but now I'm confused by the many options in this segment. Which automatic hatchback should I choose for reliability and low maintenance?
Given your requirements, you should choose between the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20. The Baleno comes with an efficient 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that's mated to a 5-speed AMT automatic. It has a spacious cabin, and being a Maruti car, it will be reliable and affordable to maintain. The i20, meanwhile, also comes with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, but that comes mated to a smoother CVT automatic gearbox. Do note, this Hyundai car can also be had with a punchy 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic in the i20 N Line.

I need a compact city car - automatic, petrol or electric. I checked the Comet but found it overpriced and the seats uncomfortable. My budget is under โน10 lakh, though I can stretch slightly. Which models should I consider?
If you are open to buying an electric vehicle, the Tata Tiago EV is a good option for city use. It's got a smooth powertrain and is much more practical than the MG Comet you also considered. There's also the option of the Tata Punch EV, though it is slightly out of your budget.
Among petrol automatic cars within your budget, the Hyundai i20 iVT and Citroen C3 AT have the smoothest automatic gearboxes. The Maruti Suzuki Swift AMT is also a good city car, though the AMT gearbox isn't as nice.
