Asked by: Satyaon Dec 23, 2025
Reasons for the upgrade: AMT fatigue, better highway safety, improved suspension, and a bit more space. My usage: 1. Bangalore (Whitefield), moderate city driving 2. Around 20 days of highway driving per year 3. Planning to keep the car for about 9 years Must-haves: 1. 360-degree camera 2. Budget of ₹15-16 lakh on-road (maximum) 3. Good suspension 4. Mileage is not a concern Considering the Hyundai Venue HX8 Turbo DCT with dealer-fitted 360-degree camera versus the Nissan Magnite Tekna+ Turbo CVT, which is feature-rich and reliable, at around ₹13 lakh? Which offers strong value for money? How do Magnite’s reliability and service compare?
The Hyundai Venue HX8 Turbo DCT is the better pick for you. The Nissan Magnite Tekna+ Turbo CVT is a good option, but it competes more closely with cars like the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. If you are looking for something that feels more premium and will stay fresh in the long run, the new Hyundai Venue makes more sense.
While this Nissan car is more affordable on paper and offers impressive space, the Venue does most things a notch better if your budget allows. It feels more comfortable and premium, has better feature execution, and delivers a more polished overall driving experience.
In terms of reliability, both brands have a good track record. However, Hyundai’s wider service network is an advantage, especially if you plan to keep the car for a long time.

Suggest a family car for five members with good rear seat comfort within a ₹10 lakh budget. Is the Skoda Kylaq a good option?
The Nissan Magnite is a good option for you. It has a spacious cabin and a comfortable rear seat that can accommodate three adults.
Apart from a 1.0 NA petrol engine, the Magnite is also available with a punchy 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that can also be had with a CVT automatic. Meanwhile, the Skoda Kylaq's rear seat isn't as spacious for three adults.

Asked by: kiranon Dec 18, 2025
Which is better between the Nissan Magnite and the Maruti Baleno base models? Which is more spacious and powerful?
The Nissan Magnite is a compact SUV, while the Maruti Baleno is a premium hatchback. The Magnite is more spacious and has a bigger boot, but the Baleno is more powerful and fuel-efficient.
If you want a car that is more spacious and has a higher seating position, then the Magnite is the better option. However, if you want a car that is more fun to drive and has a more premium feel, then the Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the better option.

Please suggest which car to buy between the Renault Kiger Automatic and the Nissan Magnite Automatic. My budget is ₹11-12 lakh. Alternatively, you can suggest other options. My preference is automatic only.
The Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger share their turbo-petrol CVT (automatic), which is a smooth yet powerful powertrain option.
Both cars have been refreshed recently with quite a few upmarket touches. Between the two, the Magnite looks a bit more SUVish and has slightly better cabin ergonomics.
If you have a Citroen touchpoint nearby, you must check out the C3 Turbo AT. It is a much better car at a more affordable price tag.

My budget is ₹8 lakh and my family has five members. I am looking for the best family car within this budget, with rear-seat comfort being the top priority. Please suggest suitable options.
Given your requirements, the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger are worth a look. There's plenty of space for rear seat passengers, and there is enough room for three passengers to sit in the back in reasonable comfort.
You could also consider the superbly packaged Renault Triber. It's three rows of seats give lots of flexibility in seating, and the option to slide the middle row also means you can open up lots of legroom by moving the seat to its rearward position.

I need to change my car and am looking for an automatic petrol model. My monthly running is about 200-300 km in Bangalore city, and my budget is ₹10-12 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
There are a plethora of automatic petrol cars available within your budget. Given your monthly travel is just 200-300km, we will give less weightage to fuel economy and more weightage to driving comfort. As we don't know other preferences, here's a shortlist of the best options by body style -
Hatchback - Hyundai i20 IVT Asta (O), Citroen C3 X Shine AT
Compact sedan - Honda Amaze CVT ZX
Compact SUV - Nissan Magnite Turbo CVT, Renault Kiger Turbo CVT Emotion

Asked by: Ssaon Dec 15, 2025
I want to upgrade to a seven-seater, but I am confused between a new Triber or Ertiga, and a used XL6. My usage is mostly in the city with occasional highway trips. My priorities are low maintenance and good mileage. Please suggest. Also, I would like to know what good automatic car options are available under Rs 8 to 9 lakh. Thank you.
The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is a more premium version of the Ertiga, and it is based on the same platform. However, the XL6 is a 6-seater, thus consider between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or the Renault Triber, both of which are 7-seaters.
The Renault Triber is a sub-4m MPV, though, so while it is more affordable, it is smaller than the Ertiga, and the 1.0 litre engine is not powerful, especially so when fully loaded.
As for your query about a good automatic car under Rs 9 lakh, you can consider the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, or if you would like an SUV body style, the Nissan Magnite would be a good choice.

Asked by: Nageshkumaron Dec 12, 2025
Which is the best car under 7.5 lakh? Nissan Magnite, Tata Altroz, or Maruti Baleno? Is the Nissan Magnite a good option to buy?
The Nissan Magnite is a good option to consider. It is spacious, has a comfortable ride, and the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is punchy and efficient. Plus, it has an SUV-like road presence that the other two hatchbacks lack. It also received a 5-star crash test rating from Global NCAP.
The Tata Altroz also has a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, as well as a spacious cabin, comfortable ride, and good features. However, the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine in the Nissan Magnite is more efficient.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the most efficient of the lot, but hasn't been updated in a while, and is now starting to show its age.

I need cng automatic car that 65yr old male and young female could drive easily. Ground clearance is another factor which is important for my terrain. Do let me know if these priorities fit in a budget of 15L
There isn't much to choose from in terms of CNG automatics below Rs 15 lakh. Your best choice would be the Nissan Magnite. Ground clearance is good, and the car is pretty easy to drive with light controls and a nice and high seating position.
The only issue is that the boot space is compromised with the large tank; however, there is just enough space for some small bags or a suitcase.

I currently own an i10, which has reached the end of its life. I am looking to upgrade to at least a mini or micro SUV. My budget is ₹6 to ₹10 lakh, with a requirement of at least a 4 or 5-star GNCAP rating. I am open to sedans as well. Please suggest the best cars. However, I am also confused between buying a new car versus a used one or stretching my budget, as I am planning to move abroad in the next 6 to 12 months. I initially thought of buying a used car from trusted online portals, but I am worried about investing additional money in used cars in case they require major repairs.
Your best options for sub-compact SUVs in your budget are the Tata Punch and the Nissan Magnite, both of which have received a 5-star NCAP crash test rating. Of the two, we recommend the Nissan Magnite, as it has recently received a facelift, which has given it more features and a more upmarket cabin. And overall, it is the more spacious of the two, and has the advantage of a turbo-petrol engine option, which also falls in your budget.
As for whether you should buy a used car instead, it's always an advantage, as you will not suffer the same depreciation hit as you would buying a new car, and yes, you can get a vehicle from a segment or two above within the same budget.
Or else you could lower your budget and save some money. As long as you choose a relatively young used car and have it inspected thoroughly before purchase, the repairs should not be major in 6-12 months. Try a trusted used car portal like Spinny, which does thorough vehicle evaluation on its used cars for a bit more peace of mind.
