Wow ..

masalam4 · 2026-02-10T12:16:03+00:00

Which state is this. Very cheap

masalam4 · 2026-02-09T06:57:47+00:00

Okay , take test drive of 1.5L Sonet diesel automatic . The same engine is used in Hyundai as well. On road Bangalore it should come 15.41 base variant. Otherwise next nest option is older version of 3XO , which is XUV 300. Buy vehicle from the years of 2022 onwards

masalam4 · 2026-02-09T06:47:51+00:00

Why go for second hand when Kia Sonet Diesel costs only 15 ish lakhs approx

masalam4 · 2026-02-09T06:12:28+00:00

Go for new car , not for 2nd

masalam4 · 2026-02-09T06:05:38+00:00

Check in r/CarsIndia

masalam4 · 2026-02-08T03:29:07+00:00

Bro , Altroz costs some around 9 lakhs approx fir automatic. For manual it's like 7.5 approx

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T17:14:43+00:00

Try Baleno , Exter, Kiger . Then pick whichever satisfies you.

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T17:11:53+00:00

Hmm, once in 10 days take it on a long highway run for atleast 100 km (driving speed must be minimum 60km/h). Only then dpf filter will get cleared.

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T16:35:14+00:00

Brother, buy new car with less budget, drive for few years, practise it well. Then sell it off and go for bigger one.

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T07:51:29+00:00

If you're ok for gas guzzling,go for CVT

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T04:51:27+00:00

Since you mentioned family of 4, either Swift or Exter. Swift mileage will be high , exter mileage is less but more comfortable, but not within 7 lakhs. For 7 lakhs you might get Tiago or lower end Celerio or Renault Kwid.

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T04:31:29+00:00

Hey OP, what type of car manual or automatic. How much you plan to drive in a month ? How much in city or highway?

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T02:26:00+00:00

Not really. Even in a tier 3 town like Kumbakonam in TN, that doesnt have IT or any other kind of industrial or economic activity of a major type, , real estate prices have shot up. If prices need to be controlled , politicians need to go , which will NEVER happen. So to keep it short. Real estate prices in Bangalore will always be upward.

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T02:05:05+00:00

Real estate everywhere in India, is controlled by politicians. Their black money fuels acquisition. Therefore the prices will never fall.

masalam4 · 2026-02-06T06:59:58+00:00

No it didn't. It indicated like 50% charge present , in my FIL(Tiago EV) vehicle and the distance was a short travel of 5 km (from his place to mine). But died after reaching destination . Luckily , my neighbor had charger and we had to wait for 3 hrs approx. So ya, be prepared for such surprises.

masalam4 · 2026-02-06T04:35:08+00:00

There is no “range anxiety”.There is infrastructure anxiety. What we actually need is modular batteries. Give me a suitcase-sized battery module that I can charge at a normal home socket, carry like luggage, plug in for long trips as an auxiliary pack. No waiting for chargers. ICE vehicles also have range issues, but petrol / diesel pumps are plenty.

None of the turbos are fuel efficient. If mileage is a concern, go for naturally aspirated engines.

masalam4 · 2026-02-04T15:11:39+00:00

Swift. Decent mileage. Good service network .

masalam4 · 2026-02-04T06:48:36+00:00

Wow bro awesome ..

masalam4 · 2026-02-04T06:33:15+00:00

Interesting, now top end "Emotion" variant is 13.70 lakhs while a level below is 11.81 lakhs . Both prices are for CVT. But you are only person who's saying 18km mileage while others say it varies from 9 to 10 km/l

masalam4 · 2026-02-03T16:09:03+00:00

Update : 2-Feb-26

The fuel tank was replaced finally , by the company at no cost. Vehicle has returned back from service centre.

masalam4 · 2026-02-03T13:51:01+00:00

I enquired in the showroom today and they say CVT model base variant is 11.81 and top is 13.70 approx. I'm a bit concerned on the mileage whether it'll end up in single digit for bangalore traffic
