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.

Iโm looking for an automatic SUV under โน14 lakh and am deciding between the Tata Nexon DCA and the new 2025 Hyundai Venue DCT. This will be my first automatic car, and my daily usage is about 80 km. Which of these offers the best value for money given my requirements?
On pure value for money alone, the Tata Nexon DCA appears to come out on top, as prices of its model range on the whole are lower than the new Hyundai Venue, which gets pricey at the top end. However, Hyundai offers its Venue 1.0 petrol DCT in lower and mid-range variants too, including the N Line N6 version, while the Tata car has just one Petrol DCT variant that falls into your budget.
You would have to go beyond Rs 14 lakh to gain access to more features in the Tata. Plus, the Venue is the newer vehicle with slightly more up-to-date tech, and its turbo-petrol DCT is the smoother powertrain too.
Hence, we would recommend checking out the Hyundai Venue.

I currently own a 2020 Duster AWD and am planning to buy the new Sierra. My car is used occasionally, and when it is used, about 70 percent is in city traffic and the rest on the highway. Could you suggest which engine option would be best suited for me, considering I am coming from a diesel AWD? Also, are the terrain modes in the Sierra relevant to sleet and slush conditions?
The Tata Sierra 1.5 GDI turbo-petrol + AT seems to be a smooth and punchy option. Our detailed review will be out on 8th December, 2025, which should give you more clarity on how the car is.

Hi, I am a proud owner of a Tata Aria for the last 15 years, and now I am looking to give it a final rest. I am considering the Safari, HyCross, and XUV700. As per your suggestion, which one would suit me best? My budget is between Rs 30 lakh to Rs 35 lakh.
The Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid is a no-nonsense MPV that delivers on all aspects - comfort, space, fuel efficiency, and with Toyota's backing, promises a trouble-free ownership experience. Since you like to keep your cars for a long time, the Innova Hycross hybrid is the safest bet.
The Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV700 are tough SUVs, and while both are well-equipped, the Tata car is more comfortable than the Mahindra car for passengers seated in the third row. Meanwhile, the XUV700 is a lot smoother and more refined than the Tata Safari. If you are picking between these two, we'd suggest waiting for the heavily updated XUV700, expected in the first quarter of 2026.

My Wagon R has run 70,000 km in 3 years. I now want to buy a new car. Please suggest a car that offers good mileage and comfort. I am 6 feet tall, and my budget is Rs 10 lakh.
You could look at a Tata Punch CNG, which is a high-riding sub-compact SUV with an excellent driving position. It also feels tough and confident over bad roads.
The other option you must check out is the Hyundai Exter CNG Duo, which is smoother, more refined, and delivers slightly better performance than the Punch.

What is the major difference in driving feel between the WagonR 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre engines? The car will be used mostly in the city with an occasional monthly highway trip. I am also considering the Tata Tiago - any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
The 1.2-litre K-Series engine in the Maruti Wagon R makes it feel noticeably peppier and relatively more effortless than the 1.0-litre petrol version. Also, being a four-cylinder unit, it is a bit smoother and more refined as well.
Yes, the 1.0 will be a bit more efficient than the 1.2; however, if you like to drive and if it falls within your budget, quite simply go for the 1.2. The Tata Tiago has its strengths, like a good sound system, and better driving manners than a Wagon R; however, in terms of space, user-friendliness, smoothness and overall sales and support, the Maruti car is the one to go for.

I have been using a Wagon R CNG for the last 11 years with around 97,000 km on the odometer. I would now like to upgrade to an automatic. My preferences are safety, power and comfort. My budget is Rs 15 lakh, but I can stretch it to Rs 18 to 20 lakh. I am considering the Tata Sierra. Please suggest if there are any other alternatives.
The Tata Sierra seems to be a very promising car, and will certainly feel like a huge upgrade from you Maruti Suzuki Wagon R. We will be putting up our detailed review on 8th December, which will give you a better idea of what you can expect from the car as far as drive experience goes.

I currently own a Creta SX(O) IVT petrol, which guzzles a lot of petrol, especially after E20. I am getting single-digit mileage and spending around Rs 4,500 per week on petrol. I want to switch to a Tiago EV. My budget is Rs 15 to 18 lakh, and I need a boot space of around 450 litres.
As your budget is between Rs 15 to 18 lakhs, you could consider getting an MG Windsor - it is a big, spacious, feature-rich electric car, capable of delivering about 300km on a single charge, in a mixed cycle. A fully-loaded Tata Nexon EV 45 is also an option you could consider.

Asked by: Ankush Agrawalon Dec 1, 2025
I am getting a good deal on a used car on a good platform. The only issue is that it has a VIP number plate. It has also been listed for sale for the last two months. Could this create any issues?
If your concern is that the vehicle is wearing a fancy number plate with an unusual font, this will have to be changed by you at the earliest, since installing high-security registration plates in Maharashtra is mandatory.
However, if your concern is that the vehicle is not selling for two months despite a special number on its plate, that shouldn't be much of a concern - not everyone desires special number/s; a particular number for one person might not have any relevance for another. So if you are getting a good deal, and you are convinced that the used car is ideal for you, go for it.

Asked by: Pramod Yadavon Dec 1, 2025
I want to buy a new car. I have shortlisted three cars: Maruti Ertiga, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Tata Sierra. I want a petrol model with a manual gearbox, good mileage, good safety features, and the ability to handle both local and occasional long drives. Please advise.
All three cars listed are very different - the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is a no-nonsense seven-seater MPV; the XUV3XO is a turbo-petrol compact SUV with excellent ride and handling balance; and the Tata Sierra is a mid-size SUV which is likely to offer the most space and feel the most premium of the lot.
You don't seem to have a definitive requirement for a seven-seater since two out of the three cars you've listed can only seat five; the only reason to consider an Ertiga is for its fuel efficiency.
If that is something you can overlook, we'd recommend you shortlist the Mahindra XUV 3XO and Sierra. Out of these, even though the Mahindra car is likely to be punchier and more fun to drive, the Sierra's larger size and more cabin space are likely to deliver a nicer drive and cabin experience, making you feel like you've spent your money well.
The Sierra's NA petrol isn't likely to be much more efficient than the Mahindra's turbo-petrol, due to the Tata's heavier kerb weight; however, between the two, it is the one we'd recommend.
