        Swift and Swift dzire shares the same engine (DDis 74bhp), Polo uses Tdi engine and i20 use Crdi engine (90HP). Crdi has the best refinement in the segment, Highest Power/Torque, Good FE and easy to maintain than the swift/polo.

        The i20′s engine is the most powerful and the most refined. Polo has the better suspension. Maintenance costs are similar for all 3.

        The i20 CRDi has got the most powerful diesel engine and it is quite spacious and segment leader when it comes to features, fit and finish; The Swift DDiS is very agile and fun to drive of the lot; The DZire DDiS has got softer suspension than the Swift and therefore it has got better ride quality for day-to-day needs; The Polo TDI has got…[Read more]

        It is a bit complicated to just compare engines, especially when the figure on paper is at the flywheel, an engine component that you may not even see in years of ownership of the vehicle. Also there are many other components which give a vehicle different characteristic behaviors such as suspension components, steering components, chassis…[Read more]

        So basically you are asking which is better the swift or i20 right? I say i20 because it has way better feature list than the swift(or in your case dzire)even though swift has a edge over the i20 when it comes to performance,but I think the new i20 looks better than swift,even when it comes to cabin space i20 is better,but i20 is a bit more expensive.

        Other members have already replied on the similar post below but regarding boot factor as well – the 20 is more spacious and practical. Let us not forget, it has got seat folding feature and that also includes 60:40 split seats.

        In that segment, the cars to go for are the City AT and the Fiesta AT. Oh yes, the Ecosport AT will soon join that list. Reliable, trouble free vehicles, and the best ATs in that price range

        I always recommend people to go for the top end variants for the sake of the safety kit, in which case I would ask you to raise the budget else look at the Ritz / Figo / Vista. Regards.

        Completely agree with others here. When you are buying something for yourself and for your family by spending Lakhs of Rupees, why to ignore basic safety option and compromise with life-saving features like – ABS, EBD, BA, Air-bags, etc.

        Advantage Figo Titanium (P): rear leg room, Bluetooth connectivity, boot space and superb driving dynamics. Advantage Ritz ZXi: Adjustable head rests at rear, 60:40 split seat, rear power windows, better engine, better fuel economy and easy ingress / egress due to tall boy structure. My choice – Ritz ZXi.

        There are so many diesel sedans out there around ~10L price bracket: Indigo eCS, Verito, Manza, Sunny, Scala, Etios, Classic, Sail, DZire, Amaze, SX4, Linea, Fiesta and Verna. I would suggest you to buy the Verna CRDi (either 1.6 or 1.4) because you want a premium luxury car. As an alternate, you can select either Classic by Ford or the SX4. FYI:…[Read more]

        Well, Etios is probably one of the most spacious car among the list I have mentioned above but it is not a feature-loaded or luxurious at all.

        My top pick would be the SX4, decent luxury with leather seats space, decent feature though not a huge list like the Verna, poor resale value but that is something nobody can guarantee and is highly dynamic, decent build quality unlike typical Marutis which have lost of cost cutting, most important thing being the huge discount running on it.…[Read more]

        If its features that you are looking for then the Verna still has the most number of features in it. Resale value of Hyundai cars is also fairly good.

        You are welcome. Regarding Sarthak’s comments – he is correct but this is really not (at all) a deal-breaker in your case. It is just that most of the Hyundai cars possess lighter steering feedback across all speeds (good to have in city but makes drivers a little bit nervous during sudden / sharp turns on high speeds). This is an area where Ford…[Read more]

        Hyundai i20 will easily accommodate five members and it has got bigger boot as well. The only problem I see is – the variant you have selected is not having two airbags. Having said that, your daily run is hardly around 20 KMs so the i20 Sportz petrol would be the natural choice as per my opinion.

        One thing I would like to tell you is that the EcoSport is a sub-four meter vehicle and it’s interior space cannot match with the Duster, which is far, far more spacious. If the XUV 5oo is part of your short-listing then it would be the preferred choice because after all you can accommodate additional passengers as and when required.
