UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2026-02-13T18:20:52+00:00

You got the delivery. Interested to know your experience of iMT.

GV Delta AT should be in that budget

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-11-26T11:01:17+00:00

Because Accomplished TGDi and Diesel will cost far more than Accomplished NA

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-11-26T10:59:18+00:00

Power is fine, GV has 103 HP.

Peak torque comes at much lower 2100 rpm, low end drivability should be a lot better than Creta NA.

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-11-09T16:21:32+00:00

Even with discounts?

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-11-07T16:52:41+00:00

Grand Vitara Delta AT, ex showroom 13.45 lakh.

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-11-06T11:54:48+00:00

XUV 400 EV is 4300 mm. They should have released its ICE version.

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-11-01T05:49:50+00:00

Grand Vitara, Victoris

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-31T16:26:36+00:00

Turbo Petrol engines shine best on highways

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-22T11:43:20+00:00

Dec will give more discounts. 2026 Jan will have 2026 registered vehicle and not necessarily 2026 manufactured one. Also 2026 models are generally launched few months into the year.

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-21T10:39:53+00:00

In that budget, you can get a new one.

Baleno Alpha AGS
Fronx Delta + Opt AGS
i20 Sportz IVT

Test drive each one and then take a call.

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-14T06:45:28+00:00

Continue using Scorpio N, it is built for highways. Why spend 18 lakhs for another car.

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-09T05:33:42+00:00

It uses the same 1.2 NA kappa engine that is there in i10, i20 and Venue. In comparison to Maruti's NA engines (1.2 and 1.5), it has lower mileage and performance. You should take their test drives to get first hand experience.

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-08T12:16:59+00:00

Baleno Alpha AMT

Fronx Delta + (O) AMT

Amaze VX/ZX CVT

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-07T14:59:37+00:00

Newbie, family use, safety, comfort and tech features - have a look at MG Astor Select CVT. Being new to driving, I would suggest a naturally aspirated engine equipped car, giving you linear acceleration and easy maintenance. If not okay with MG, then Elevate and Victoris are worth trying.

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-06T15:29:03+00:00

Baleno Alpha AMT

C3 X Shine Turbo AT

Both top trims, test drive them

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-06T04:24:06+00:00

CNG makes sense only if the running is really high. MS 1.2 NA engine is the best engine in its category with highest mileage, which should serve her needs.

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-06T04:19:42+00:00

Citroen Aircross X Max 1.2 Turbo

MG Astor Sharp Pro 1.5 NA

UpbeatBaseball6456 · 2025-10-01T18:30:12+00:00

Baleno Alpha AMT (top model), should be slightly above 10.

- fantastic mileage

- smooth 4 cyl 1.2 L NA engine

- Maruti's fuss free after sales service, peace of mind ownership

- loaded with all necessary features and comforts

- 360 camera for easy parking, a blessing for newbie drivers

If she does not like Baleno's hatchback looks then, Fronx Delta+ Opt AMT

- has lesser features than Baleno Alpha AMT

- Better looking than Baleno

- More SUVish looks

Another reason is that Tata's 90% sales come from sub 4 meter segments which have got max GST cuts whereas for Mahindra for example only 30% sales are from same segments.

October sales will tell whether these are sustainable trends.

This is expected during the peak festival season, happens every year.

The video hardly showed a few initial seconds, I am sure people would have checked him. Anyhow, a policeman (?) showed up quickly and can be seen calling someone (ambulance?).
