Hi All, From last 4 months I am searching the best car which fits my requirement under 20 lakh. My Requirement: - Spacious like back side, it should be comfortable for 3 people, and good boot space - Premium looks from inside and if possible outside - Good ground clearance, thats the reason I was thinking more towards Compact SUVs or Mid Segment SUVs - Currently from last 3 years doing wfh, so during the day some chores come up and cab here in my city isn't great thats the reason I was thinking to buy car, which can accomodate me, spouse and my upcoming child. - Dont want to drive too much on daily basis like 5-7km daily on avg, unless we go outside city during weekends. Hence looking for Petrol and Automatic - Budget: 15-20 lakh on road Car Company which has better servicing in my city: - Hyudai, Maruti, Kia, Tata, Honda Cars Shortlisted based on above requirements: - Tata Nexon Creta 2023 Creative Plus DCT Petrol ~15 lakh -> No test ride available in DCT engine, and somehow I didnt like fit and finish from Tata. - Kia Sonet GTX 2023 DCT 1.0 Turbo Petrol ~16.60 lakh -> Buy spending so much on Compact SUV still no 360 Degree cam or ADAS. It comes in X-Line just putting 20k more, but comes only with MATT finish, its RED Flag - Kia Seltos HTX 2023 1.5 IVT Petrol ~19.14 lakh -> Everything looks fine, just that it doesn't have 360 Degree cam or ADAS. But Pros, it has better boot space and panaromic view. - Hyundia Creta SX Tech 2024 1.5 IVT Petrol ~20.24 lakh -> Going above the budget. It has ADAS features and comes with additional Bose Speakers which Seltos doesnt. But it has Front Parking Sensors missing. Because of my low daily running I was thinking to buy some car under 15 lakh and also automatic, but after cross-checking the market and cars, I came up with these 4 options. Let me know what do you guys think? TC: 63 lpa YOE: 12 #personalfinance #car
0.24 ko 20 lakh ke saamne koi above budget kaise bol sakta hai.
Earlier my budget was only 15 lakh, I am stretching because all we are doing is wfh currently and it will be standing most of the day unless we go out intentionally, so spending extra is pinching me on this.
Honda, Skoda, Volkswagen are much better without the frills of a toy.. Honda Elevate, kushaq and taigun in your range..
Already mentioned services of these companies are not very good.
Tata Harrier

This post is more suited for r/carsindia The folks there are car enthusiasts and can comment better
Yes realised. Have posted there also.
Also check this. Might help.
Also out of curiosity what is your title at Amazon?
ADAS and 360 camera are gimmick features. Skilled drivers don't need these. Driving dynamics are more important in a car. It should give you confidence driving at higher speeds. Also, a diesel is a diesel is a diesel.
True 360 camera is a gimmick however I don’t agree with ADAS, Automatic emergency braking and blind spot monitoring are active safety systems which are lifesavers. Especially in India trucks park on highways and so many lives are lost when cars rear end them. The AEB applies brakes and helps in averting a collision. Similarly you may not notice a fast moving vehicle in your blind spot ( holds good for longer vehicles which have thicker B and C pillars), so the system would alert you.
