Must Buy Car

The Tata Punch is a compact SUV (often called a “micro-SUV”) from Tata Motors with SUV-like styling, a high seating position, and a strong safety reputation. It’s available in petrol, iCNG, and EV versions (EV version is often referred to as Punch EV).

Superb

Good looks and mostly new models stylish design and good features in car motor-driven power steering and good fat with digital display and mostly like of front fast USB charger

Citroen C3 Live 1.2 Petrol

Looks are stunning at this price range. Suspension is awesome. The second servicing was done recently. The base variant does not have a central locking feature. I got it installed in the aftermarket. Engine performance is also good. Mileage is around 19 With AC and Four passengers

Maruti Fronx AMT vs Hyundai Exter AMT: Space, Features, Mileage & Performance Comparison

By Sagar Bhanushali19 Mar 2025

So you have Rs. 10 lakh to spend on a nice automatic car, but you don’t want a typical hatchback or a compact sedan. What are your options then? It’s pretty much either the Hyundai Exter or the Maruti Fronx.

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray17 Jul 2023

With the Exter, Hyundai has done its homework and has made the overall package quite difficult to overlook.
