Asked by: Daksh Agrawalon Dec 16, 2025
I currently own a 2019 Ecosport Diesel with approximately 50 km daily mileage. It has covered around 2 lakh km in 5 years, averaging 18 kmpl. I’m looking to purchase an automatic car with good mileage, preferably above 15 kmpl. My budget is between 15-25 lakhs. I’m short-listed for the XEV9e, Creta, Creta Electric, and Be6. However, I’m unsure about the reliability and resale value of EVs. I’m also speculating about the average mileage of the Creta. Please suggest.
Unfortunately, your worry about the resale value of an electric car is correct. The battery is the biggest cost in EVs, and there is no effective way for second-hand car buyers to judge the battery health; hence, they sell at a discount.
Instead, you can go for Maruti Suzuki Victoris strong hybrid, it will give you good mileage and will be in your budget too.

Asked by: Yuvrajon Dec 14, 2025
I am looking to buy an SUV with a budget of up to Rs 22 to 23 lakh. My must-haves are a minimum 3-star safety rating, excellent suspension, at least 13 kmpl fuel efficiency with a 60% city and 40% highway usage pattern, the ability to pre-cool or pre-heat the car before entering it, and a fuss-free ownership experience.
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris hybrid seems to fit the bill. It has been awarded 5 stars by BNCAP for its crashworthiness. Ride comfort is excellent, and it handles well, too. And with the hybrid powertrain, you can expect excellent fuel efficiency, significantly higher than 13kpl (average).
It also gets an option to pre-cool or pre-heat the vehicle, and being a Maruti Suzuki car, the ownership experience is likely to be fuss-free. Alternatively, you may consider the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder hybrid or Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara hybrid, which share the same platform and boast of similar strengths.

Asked by: Himanshu Singhalon Dec 14, 2025
My wife doesn’t like the comfort of the Jimny - the seats hurt her back and neck, and she dislikes the bouncy ride on highways. She wants to sell it and get something like a Creta or an Innova for comfort in the city and smooth highway drives. I want a vehicle that can handle 4x4 duties (winter Spiti trips) and take a beating. Is there a car that can strike that balance, ideally under ₹25 lakh? We drive in the city about 75% of the time and take highway trips 25% of the time.
Yes, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny is very adept off-road, thanks to Suzuki's All-Grip Pro 4X4 system, which also features a low ratio. However, it does feel bouncy on regular roads - just like most 4X4s. Thus, we would recommend you look at the all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara / Toyota Hyryder or the Maruti Suzuki Victoris.
These SUVs use Suzuki All-Grip Select, which does not have a low ratio but has a Snow mode and also allow you to lock AWD. For the winter Spiti trails, this should suffice. Moreover, these SUVs will be far better in terms of ride comfort in the city and on the highway.

Asked by: Mohanrajon Dec 12, 2025
I am buying my first car with a budget of Rs 10 to 12 lakh, which can be stretched to a maximum of Rs 13-14 lakh. My usage is around 40% city and 60% highway, with a daily running of about 100 km, mostly on highways. I also do a long drive of around 500 km once a month. We are a family of five, and I am looking for an SUV with safety, mileage, and maintenance as my top priorities. I have evaluated most compact SUVs and some midsize SUVs, but am unable to make a clear decision. Please suggest the best options along with exact variants.
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris is a good option for you. The car is a good all-rounder that will satisfy you on the highway as well as the city streets with an easy and comfortable drive. The Victoris will also deliver well on your requirements of mileage, maintenance, and safety with a good equipment list, and it has also secured a 5-star crash rating from both GNCAP and BNCAP.
The rear headroom of this Maruti Suzuki car is tight, though, and since you travel 5 aboard, we would recommend you personally have every member sit inside and check if this is okay for you.

Asked by: Suneel kumaron Dec 11, 2025
Hi, I have a Hyundai i10, 2011 model, that I have used for around 90000 km. My average running is around 7000 km. I want a car with good average, boot space and proper safety. I intend to keep it for the next 15 years. My budget is around 13 lakhs. I have shortlisted 3XO AX5 petrol manual, Kylaq Signature Plus and Victoris VXI. Kindly advise.
With a budget of 13 lakhs, we would recommend the Skoda Kylaq, the Signature+ MT variant, which will give a good balance of performance, comfort, space, safety and features.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO has many features, but it scores low on real-world fuel efficiency, and you will have to stretch your budget to around 14 lakhs on road for the Maruti Suzuki Victoris VXI.

Asked by: Chandraon Dec 5, 2025
Hi, I'm planning to buy my first car. I drive about 1500-1800 km per month (80% city). My budget is about 15 -17 lakhs. I'm so confused between Nexon, XUV 3XO, Venue, and all of the diesel automatic variants. I'm open to hybrid variants as well. My priorities are: safety, fuel efficiency, comfort & features. Also thinking about Sierra & Duster of automatic variants. Please suggest a good one. Thank you.
Since you drive 50–60km a day (about 1,500–1,800km a month), it’s understandable that you want something efficient and economical to run. A hybrid would normally make sense, but the Maruti Suzuki strong hybrids (Grand Vitara / Victoris) and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder sit above your budget. More importantly, with your running, it would still take years to recover the higher upfront cost of the hybrid powertrain.
The upcoming Renault Duster is promising, but will launch only with petrol engines — no diesel and no hybrid — so fuel efficiency won’t match a diesel automatic in daily city use. As for the Tata Sierra, it’s a very appealing SUV thanks to its design, space, and premium cabin. However, the 1.5 diesel in the Sierra isn’t the most refined or punchy in the segment, and the pricing of the higher variants, especially the autos, will stretch well past the upper end of your budget. Also, the Sierra is more of a lifestyle SUV than an efficiency-focused one.
Given your budget and priorities — safety, fuel efficiency, comfort, and features — a diesel compact SUV still fits best. Rear-seat space is not a big concern since you’ll mostly be driving yourself, so you don’t need to pay extra for a larger mid-size SUV.
Among your shortlist, the recently launched Hyundai Venue 1.5 diesel automatic is the most balanced choice. It offers:
- Excellent fuel efficiency
- Strong, relaxed performance
- Smooth and city-friendly automatic
- Long feature list that rivals larger SUVs
- Proven safety and reliability
Overall, the Venue diesel auto gives you the best combination of economy, comfort, and everyday usability within your budget.

Asked by: Pankajon Dec 5, 2025
I want to buy a five-seater SUV with good fuel efficiency and the latest features. I’m open to petrol or hybrid variants, and my budget is ₹20–25 lakh. Which should I choose?
You should consider buying the Maruti Suzuki Victoris. It falls within your budget, and it's got an efficient, strong hybrid powertrain that's claimed to do 28.65kpl.
The Victoris also comes packed with features like a panoramic sunroof, large touchscreen, ventilated front seats and more. What's nice is that the Maruti Victoris has also received a full, 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP as well as Bharat NCAP.

Asked by: Ravi Radhakrishnon Dec 3, 2025
My monthly driving will be around 1,000 km, and I will be doing 2 to 3 highway trips a year. I am looking for a car between Rs 15 to 17 lakh. I have test-driven the hybrid versions of the Hyryder and Victoris and liked both. Now I am in a dilemma about which one to purchase. The Hyryder is a tried and tested product, whereas the Victoris is entirely new in the market. Kindly help. My main priorities are fuel efficiency and safety.
While the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder has been in the market for longer, it is important to realise that the Maruti Victoris is the same car under the skin, as is the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. All three SUVs use the same platform and indeed the same strong hybrid powertrain. It really comes down to which brand you prefer and which sales and service infrastructure is more convenient for you.
That said, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris is the newest of the three, and as such has some feature improvements, like a new-gen infotainment system and a more modern set of full-digital dials and ADAS with Level 2 autonomy, although these are only on the top-spec versions.

Asked by: Mahaboob Alion Dec 3, 2025
Hello Autocar, I want to replace my existing Chevrolet Sail diesel 1.3 with a new car. My daily commute is 40 km, covering both highway and city driving. I have shortlisted the Brezza ZXi and Victoris LXI petrol. Which one is more suitable for me? I am concerned about safety and mileage. Please suggest.
If you're okay with missing out on certain feel-good features like a sunroof, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris suits your needs better. The Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Victoris are both powered by the same 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine.
The Victoris petrol-MT has a claimed fuel efficiency of 21.18kpl, and what's nice is that it has received a full, 5-star safety rating from both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP.

Asked by: Jagannath Nayakon Dec 2, 2025
I am a first-time buyer and do not have much idea about cars. Upon research, I feel a hybrid (petrol and EV) is a good option to go with. My budget is Rs 12-14 lakh, and my top priorities are safety, mileage, and comfort. I feel the Maruti Suzuki Victoris might be the right option, but I am not sure about its boot capacity. Looking at the launch of the Tata Sierra, I am also attracted to its modern features at a similar budget. Please help me decide. Or is there any other option I should be considering?
Unfortunately, there isn't any hybrid vehicle in the Rs 12-14 lakh range. You will get the petrol versions of the Victoris and Tata Sierra in your budget.
While the Maruti Suzuki Victoris shares a lot with the Grand Vitara, it is likely to be an efficient, reliable option. The Tata Sierra is an all-new vehicle with a new engine; hence its reliability is still unproven.
If you want to buy a car immediately, go for the Victoris. Otherwise, if you can wait, we'll be putting the Sierra through our efficiency and other real-world tests in the coming weeks, and the results will be published on our website, for you to take a more informed decision.
