Both have that 1.4 liter petrol engine. Their Automatic variants start from Rs. 12.84 lakh and Rs. 12.75 lakh ex-showroom respectively.

Both car’s Resale value are pretty good compared to other cars and also they both have an average Global NCAP safety rating of 3 stars.

If you are interested in buying more safer cars you can consider buying cars like Volkswagen Taigun and Tata Nexon with safety ratings of 5 Stars.

Question by Tanniru - Jul 20, 2022Hindi

I am bit confused in deciding for compact SUV, Diesel, Automatic (New driving), best safety, build quality, low maintenance, for long term use, daily 50 kms, 80% city, 20% highway and once a year long drive. My budget is 15 Lakh. I am thinking of Tata Nexon XZ+S (Diesel), Skoda Kushaq active. Please suggest if any other good car.

Ans: Hello Tanniru,

Yes Tata Nexon is indeed an excellent choice with a diesel mileage of 17 KMPL in city driving and 20 KMPL in highway driving and safety rating of 5 stars it’s a great select. As per our knowledge Skoda Kushaq does not have a Diesel engine option and only comes in petrol engine but Kushaq is also a great choice with mileage of 19.2 KMPL and good safety features like automatic headlamps, ABS with EBD, rear parking camera, hill assist, multi collision braking system etc.

You can also buy Hyundai Creta or Kia Seltos in this range which offers a great set of features and are value for money.

You can also consider newly launched cars like Mahindra Scorpio N, Maruti Brezza 2022 and Hyundai Venue Facelift which are also a great choices.

Ans: Hello Sunil,

Considering your budget if you want a great mileage car you can buy Maruti cars like Wagon R, Celerio, Ignis, S-presso. But considering your age safety really matters, that is why you should consider buying cars like Tata Punch, Tata Altroz, Renault Kiger, Renault Triber (which is a very good value for money 7-seater cars) and Nissan Magnate.

It depends on your preference. Because features wise you have decent features in all the above mentioned cars. The only deciding question is: Does safety rating matter to you? If not go for the mileage cars and if it does matter than we would suggest safer cars mentioned above.
