If your desired car isn't included, you can go for the lower or middle variant with only important features and less electronics. It will be a lot more reliable in the long run!
I completely agree that the premium hatchback segment cars have more spacious cabins than these so-called sub 4-meter SUVs. For instance, my 2013-manufactured i20's cabin is so very spacious as compared to Sonet/Venue. Yes Brezza, Nexon & XUV300 have got decent-sized cabins .. But the way a hatchback runs on a highway at higher speeds is seriously superior .. Hassle-free 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine my i20 has, as smooth and silent as a new car's, that too after 12 years & 6 months (& 2 lakh plus kilometers).
Having Hyundai exter sx AMT. 4.3k done in 6 months. In 10-11 lakhs budget, it's go getter. Most of i10 parts will work for Exter. That means all India parts & service even with local mechanics.
I really like this guy. Wanted to know if others think he is reliable. I saw his videos of NA vs Turbo, different transmission types and realized that for a person with usage like mine, I would prefer only NA engine and go for manual or CVT or TC (and I would avoid DCT). Incidentally, he has covered the cars I was considering to buy in this video ...
Just hit 10 years with my Hyundai Grand i10 Magna! Total maintenance cost so far: 68k, plus 12k for a tyre change & 16k for LEDs+Android+Back Camera Installation . Drove it 16 hours nonstop from Chandigarh to Jodhpur, and 12 hours nonstop from Delhi to Kasar Devi, Even done Leh Ladakh tour via Manali, Delhi to Goa Tour & it never failed me! It’s the petrol version, and I’m planning to keep it for the next 5 years easily. 😅 Way better than those fake SUVs 😂 Also, the boot space is perfect for 4 people’s luggage, such a reliable family hatchback.
you won my subscription, i am first time car buyer and your video is to the point, exactly what a frist time buyer looks while buying new car. i20 - breza and elevate are very good options for me.
I20 is good,premium and royal hatchback, cost is very less compared to elevate or brezza. Now in suv, Elevate anyday compared to brezza, brezza looks good from outside but interior is cheap, elevate will surely elevate your happiness and status!
I really agree on the hatchback part. I bought ALTROZ last month and it really has good space on back seats. I’d even say it is as similar as Venue. Compact SUVs are nothing but a hatch back car with a bit of more height. That’s the new terminology.
Great video, I like your focus on reliability My only point is safety, some of these cars aren’t rated highly on safety and in my opinion safety should be considered when discussing long term reliability as well
You forgot to mention Compact Sedans especially Honda Amaze with CVT option. I will recommend that over Baleno AMT for the Gearshift Quality abd Safety and i20 over Fuel Efficiency.

Hi, I enjoyed your informative video. I was actually searching for content related to this topic. I also watched some of your past videos and found them really helpful for my current situation. I think your content covers unique topics that most others don't usually address. I hope you continue creating this kind of content. Question: I have good driving experience and was previously the owner of a Swift diesel model. I am planning to buy an SUV suitable for both highway and minimal city driving. My yearly usage is around 2000 kms mostly long trips with family or friends. I'm fed up with the condition of our roads, and from my past experience, I’ve realized that suspension plays a major role in driving comfort. So, I’m looking to buy an SUV with good suspension. I took test drives of the Honda Elevate and Toyota Hyryder, and they both have decent suspension. I’ve now narrowed down my options to cars in the same category, such as the Elevate or Hyryder. The Hyundai Creta is also under consideration. My main priority is reliability, as I am looking for a car that will last at least 7+ years. However, my family and friends suggested I should consider a 7-seater since I’m planning to spend 18-19 lakhs. After doing some research, I thought of extending my budget a bit upto 20-21 and ended up considering the Mahindra Scorpio N or MG Hector. However, I’m unsure about the long-term reliability of the Scorpio N. I also see both are not mentioned in your video. My first option was Innova Hycross but my budget doesn't allow it. Could you please suggest whether the Scorpio N or MG Hector (if it fits my budget) would be a good option for long-term use, like 7+ years? Or should I go with Honda elevate/ Toyota Hyryder. Note: I am specifically looking for a petrol car.

@@DriveShrive took test drive of virtus 1.5 dsg, verna 1.5 dct Virtus outshines verna in every aspect. Everyone loved it. Then out of curiosity we took TD of Seltos IVT and it amazed us all with the relaxed driving, stability and comfort were top notch. Till this morning, seltos was not even in our consideration but after TD, we are almost finalising it as i felt the power of DSG or DCT is not required and seltos was also easily running at 100 on expressway which is mostly the speed driven on expressway. Not sure if buying Seltos will be right option. Care to help here?
@@huntrz there is not much of a price diff. Seltos cvt is 18.9L on road. Virtus is 19.2 something. Atleast in virtus i am getting 5* safety. And 6 yrs warranty.

@@dhirendersingh539 Avoid youtube opinions. Most guys who own one car will never admit anything wrong about it. Anything above 7 yrs Skoda/VW becomes difficult to own and maintain. During my initial days I bought one european brand due to similar mind vs head internet sterotypes, tank like built and handling blah blah blah. It turned out to be a pain to maintain. Engine developed problems in 7 yrs(same casewith friend's car ofsame brand). Simple rules to follow- buy a car that you won't need to rip,downshift to extract power. Relaxed engine lasts longer. As far as possible buy segment leader. Stay well within your budget

Kushak taigun awesome Cars but be ready for spending more if any parts change Or damage. Elevate is next level, honda name is enough. Seltos Or creta same story. Just take test drives and choose.
Bhai sahab lower segemnt ki sari gadiya jo apne batayi hai baleno, alto, i20 reliable toh hain, lekin unsafe itni hai ki highway pe bhid gaye toh reliably swarg pahuchoge.

Will Brezza get any facelift in 2025 or 2026 since it looks very dated now with competition Also, is it important to include battery replacement cost for hybrid Brezza since currently its cost is around 60K and fan belt which beats entire purpose of owning MS car
First of all thank you for your efforts in making these videos for us :D I saw your video regarding turbo and NA earlier since I wanted to take a car thats peppy but reliable. I was thinking to go for xuv 3x0 aswell but it only has turbo options. I saw your NA vs turbo video and all the points you mention are so relatable, reliable and to the point. So eventually I took test drives and the only thing that stood out to me was 11:45. Brezza was so easy to drive that it felt like I have been driving this car for 5-8 years, even though it was a test drive model. I eventually bough brezza for 1.5 Litre NA engine and the sweet sound it makes when revving to 3-4k And now today I see you telling the same exact points that I have felt during testdrive and during the 2.2k kms I have driven my brezza. I went for manual variant so the peppyness of the car is top notch. I have reached speeds of 120 in 4th gear at 3.8k revs I love the car not just because it gives good mileage but because of its peppyness, mileage, easy maintanence and spaciousness combo! On top of that the BONUT view is so goooooood Helps me drive it ez pzz I have driven hatchbacks mostly, because thats what my father had. Yet it felt brezza is so easy to drive
Bhai me hyundai creta diesel lu or grand vitara cng lu ? Priority = full comfort , fuel efficiency , service center koi bi problem solve karde , premium ho , low maintenance ho Budget = 17 lakh . Please sir reply me

As I said, majorly city traffic use, delta is good, some highway use also with people at the rear, opt for 6 airbags
I feel GV delta us good if you are driving in night more than day then check zeta as I feel the light could have been better in delta apart from that delta ll be fine
Hello Brother, I am planning to buy Ciaz AMT in 2025. Shall i buy it or not? I am working in Qatar so we dont have much options in 10 Lakh budget segment. Please suggest
Take it and live with peace of mind
Honda Jazz 😊😊😊 she is with me since 2016.
Awesome product, sadly discontinued 😔
Bahut badiya...brother..nice n appropriate analysis ...but one thing
In gv hyrider section...u have only said about HYBRID n also recommend s n delta...variants...
What about. It's mild hybrid..d u recommend that also or go with ertiga or brezza....Pl. revert.
For reliability, Recommend those as well! I was talking about both variants
Brother which compact suv will be a great fit for me.
Budget: 13lakh max
Priority: no nonsense, full comfort, reliable/easy to maintain
Brezza
Very informative video
Sir punch ya tiago le sakte hai kya?
Kisne mana kia hai lene se?
Hello, I need a car with high sitting position, spacious and comfortable in long drive. Hate sunroof, need manual transmission with petrol engine (considering diesel ban in some city and 5 yrs less life). Elevate (second top model) or Scorpio N z2E or something else? My height is 5.10ft. i already had wagonR and datsun go plus, drive for approx 1.5L km. Pls suggest.
ScorpioN
@@DriveShrive what fuel efficiency to consider for Scorpio N z2E petrol?
Please watch my scorpioN video. All details there
ua-cam.com/video/4JM5j8Y81Ak/v-deo.html
@@DriveShrive Thanks, just for understanding, why you suggested Scorpio N z2E, which specific reason? Why not Elevate or any other in same price range? Need to know just for my understanding. Thank you once again. Appreciate your efforts!
@@DriveShrive pls suggest

Reliability , Maintenance

thanks Sir
Grand i10 nios me kuch issues hai kya ????
Hello bhai, very nice inputs and infos. Can you do Honda Amaze long term review please? I am really thinking about it and looking forward to it.
Sure! Will try
I have a Ford Ecosport and recently purchased Slavia. Ecosport was a no nonsense vehicle with great driving dynamics and control.
Drives both , but Steering feedback of Ecosport is much better than Slavia.
Never compromise Safety at the cost of Service cost and mileage.
Agreed with the steering part but people have their own needs! We cant school anyone without being in their shoes
seems underpowered to me anyway now ford is gone so no reason to discuss
@@techguy67 Correctly said, Ecosport seems under-powered on lower speeds, but not on highways

Is it good to buy second hand venue 1.4 diesel sx which has no DPF issue model 2022 50k driven for 9.5L ??? Thinking to keep it for long term.. please reply
Nope
I have budget for 1.5L DSG/DCT, so should i go for 1.0AT in VW and 1.5 ivt in hyundai?
Considering for long term, have celerio for city usage. Please reply
More run on highway 1L AT
More in city then IVT
@@DriveShrive took test drive of virtus 1.5 dsg, verna 1.5 dct
Virtus outshines verna in every aspect. Everyone loved it.
Then out of curiosity we took TD of Seltos IVT and it amazed us all with the relaxed driving, stability and comfort were top notch.
Till this morning, seltos was not even in our consideration but after TD, we are almost finalising it as i felt the power of DSG or DCT is not required and seltos was also easily running at 100 on expressway which is mostly the speed driven on expressway.
Not sure if buying Seltos will be right option. Care to help here?
@@dhirendersingh539 buy IVT save the money and invest it. Anything above 100 is not safe anyway in India.
@@huntrz there is not much of a price diff. Seltos cvt is 18.9L on road. Virtus is 19.2 something. Atleast in virtus i am getting 5* safety. And 6 yrs warranty. And DSG is refined as many youtubers are abusing it to the max and still it is working fine without any issues. Rest cant say for sure.
Cvt is good for city for sure. It is relaxed and comfortable.
@@dhirendersingh539 Avoid youtube opinions. Most guys who own one car will never admit anything wrong about it. Anything above 7 yrs Skoda/VW becomes difficult to own and maintain. During my initial days I bought one european brand due to similar mind vs head internet sterotypes, tank like built and handling blah blah blah. It turned out to be a pain to maintain. Engine developed problems in 7 yrs(same casewith friend's car ofsame brand). Simple rules to follow- buy a car that you won't need to rip,downshift to extract power. Relaxed engine lasts longer.
As far as possible buy segment leader. Stay well within your budget
Highly sensible post.
I have selected skoda 1.0 turbo, but after watching ur video on “turbo & NA engines”, i choose brezza.
sir,
Monthly running:- 700-800kms
Road:- 80% highway
Budget:- 13lacs to 15.50 lacs
Type:-Suv preference
Driving style:- *Need low maintenance car as m not so serious on car maintenance(too lathargic on ontime service ya agar kuch garbar hai gadi me to rehne do, baad me dekhenge type attitude)*
Milege:- Not a big concern
Power:- Gadi urani nhi hai, par jaisa apne bola tha na, kbhi kbhi single road me overtake krna ho to ho jaye.
Looks:- Grand vitara & nexon ke looks pasand nhi hain sir mujhe.
Pl suggest waiting for ur reply sir. Jo bologe wo aankh mund ke le lunga.
Creta S optional pasand hai, q ki usme 17 inch ke tyre hain and sunroof hai. Lekin, uska burhapa kaisa hoga???
Han s (o) le sakte ho, lambi rakhni hai to
@@DriveShrive but sir jee, sun roof of sO is not in accordance with your guidelines. Kya 10-15 saal ke baad bhi sunroof me koi problem nhi ayega agar timely service kraya to?
Hyundai sunroof ki service bhi krti hai isliye special care lgegi but with sunroof, always wear seatbelts on highways.
This is awesome ❤
Bhaiya ji ek doubt tha aapne turbo engines ki baat kyu nhi ki hai. Like mai creta lene Jaa rha tha s optional beech wala varient lekin ab soch rha hu seltos htk plus turbo lelu power aur torque bhi zyda milega haa imt hai usme woh jo clutchless manual hota hai. Mai gaari zyda drive nhi karunga pitashri karenge toh uss hisaab se suggest kriyega. Waise m seltos na aur creta na ki test drive kr chuka hu. Ghar ki doosri caar hogi Thora power m upgrade mil jayega aur mileage bhi lagbhag same hoga. Maintenance bhi zyda naa ho. Waise pehle xcent thi hamare paas. Thank you
@@AlmightyBeast2k bhai ek bar turbo wali video dekhlo
ua-cam.com/video/MWETG_5Mfu8/v-deo.html
Hi sir mein apni i20 se upgrade karke suv Leni hai.meri pehli pasand creta SX (O) hai par man karta hai Honda elevate vx pe. But Mera son tells me Kia aur Hyundai same par seltos htx looks far better than creta .so I'm confused. Kushag aur taigun ka 1 ltr engine kaisa behave karenge hilly area mein. Because I'm a proper north indian region 1.5 engine mere budget se upar hai . thankyou
Seltos has the best quality among all your choices, but do test drive the New Apex addition of Honda elevate vx addition as it gets new features
Kushak taigun awesome Cars but be ready for spending more if any parts change Or damage. Elevate is next level, honda name is enough. Seltos Or creta same story. Just take test drives and choose.
Kushaq 1.0 ltr. Best in segment car. actually 1.0 ltr. TSI /GDI engine. TSI is advanced version of GDI . Kushaq 1.0 tsi. में...! पावर चाहिए मिलेगा , एवरेज चाहिए मिलेगा , safety चाहिए मिलेगा, drive quality चाहिए मिलेगा , ड्राइविंग डायनॉमिक्स चाहिए मिलेगा ।।।। Car में quality चाहिए मिलेगा ।। 100% Pure drivers car.......!
Very helpful video,
How about Fronx 1.2 Variant ?
Exactly same as Baleno 🙃
@@DriveShrive Thank you sir 😊😊
I think grand vitara zeta is best vfm.. best balance b/w features and cost..
Sir Ignis you could have considered,you can't deny the car's overall usability and performance 😊
Honda is Honda
Debate over
Japanese engineering at its very best
What about Spresso ? Is it also going to be discontinued ?
Skip and step ahead to wagonR or Celerio
Awesome review
Good to buy used fiat punto diesel ?
If you can find parts then why not!
I'm confused between the Honda Amaze cvt and Hyundai i20 cvt, can you please help.
In the same confusion as you are.. Do let me know what you decide 😅
Both should wait for the new Amaze launch. If you absolutely can't then right now, i20 CVT is overall better in road and suspension noise insulation
@@DriveShrive Thanks for the reply! Can't wait much though.. Also, do both the cars give similar mileage? I have heard i20 has mileage issues?
Very nice topic
Hi sir
Kia carens turbo petrol 4 cylinder will be reliable or not
Creta NA patrol me kon si model value for money hai plz btaye
Bhai sahab lower segemnt ki sari gadiya jo apne batayi hai baleno, alto, i20 reliable toh hain, lekin unsafe itni hai ki highway pe bhid gaye toh reliably swarg pahuchoge.
Topic k hisab se btaya jata hai. Safety k liye alag video aegi. Subscribe for that 📍
Safety is must bro... reliability must embrace safety by default.
As you said low profile tyres are unreliable, same way unsafe cars are non reliable too....
Otherwise topic should be city cars vs highway cars
City nd highway car nhi hoti hai bro ittw paise nhi hai Indian k pass ki 2 cars rkhe be practical. Nd road p bhidne k liye car nhi liya jata hai bhidne pe crash test kaam km hi aayega because idol condition m nhi bidhta hai car ki tmhara rating kaam aaye nd 1 chis k liye daily dhakke kahyega service center wo shi hai . Isse accha control m chle nd reliable car le ki sukun ka neend le ske ye nhi car leke nikle to mind m yhi rhe ki kuch ho n jaye car m aaj
@@crusader1234 looks like I've mentioned many safe cars also! Baleno Swift fronx all based on same Dzire platform.
@@DriveShrive oh please don't bring this up...🙏🙏
Same platform or same this or that only fancy terms used to cover up, maruti cars k परखच्चे उड़ जाते हैं accidents mei...and yes all cars run at 90 or 100 on highways which is way beyond the safe limit of 50 or 60 max at which dezire is tested.
At this speed only tata, mahindra , VW skoda cars can bear the impact due to their high strength body frame. Hope you understand now🙏
I am getting confused on which one to buy: i20 or venue s optional. My budget is max 10.5 lakhs. I don't have much idea about cars as this is my first car. Can anybody help.
I want good safety and less maintenance.also, this car will be in my village and for my parents. Usage will be very less and occasional.
Kindly suggest.
Don't want to buy tata due to its painful bad service in remote areas.
Safety and maintenance as priorities, idk of you know about Dzire getting 5 stars, you can buy Dzire or Fronx, later has more ground clearance for village use
@@DriveShrive thanks for your valuable insight.
I am considering Elevate VX Apex Wdition and Taigun GTline 1.0 and confused which one to pick. Need to keep car for 15 years. Plz tell me
15yrs? Elevate anyday
What about Swift Dzire in Sedan? Especially new one launching on 11November
All mechanical parts will be same as the new Swift
Will Brezza get any facelift in 2025 or 2026 since it looks very dated now with competition
Also, is it important to include battery replacement cost for hybrid Brezza since currently its cost is around 60K and fan belt which beats entire purpose of owning MS car
First of all thank you for your efforts in making these videos for us :D
I saw your video regarding turbo and NA earlier since I wanted to take a car thats peppy but reliable. I was thinking to go for xuv 3x0 aswell but it only has turbo options.
I saw your NA vs turbo video and all the points you mention are so relatable, reliable and to the point.
So eventually I took test drives and the only thing that stood out to me was 11:45. Brezza was so easy to drive that it felt like I have been driving this car for 5-8 years, even though it was a test drive model.
I eventually bough brezza for 1.5 Litre NA engine and the sweet sound it makes when revving to 3-4k
And now today I see you telling the same exact points that I have felt during testdrive and during the 2.2k kms I have driven my brezza.
I went for manual variant so the peppyness of the car is top notch.
I have reached speeds of 120 in 4th gear at 3.8k revs
I love the car not just because it gives good mileage but because of its peppyness, mileage, easy maintanence and spaciousness combo! On top of that the BONUT view is so goooooood Helps me drive it ez pzz
I have driven hatchbacks mostly, because thats what my father had. Yet it felt brezza is so easy to drive
Awesome to know bhai ❤️🙃
What about scorpio n petrol automatic?
Bro, what do you think about 3xo. Its the hot cake in the market right now. What's your opinion???
Some manual cars are getting towed right now, so it's good to wait for it to become mature like xuv700
PEACE OF MIND INFO
Brezza vx or elevate v
Automatic. Pl guide
Buy Elevate V Apex
Brezza at is better than cvt

Bhai Amaze aur Dzire mein kya kahoge ? Small sedans with Great 👍 👌 💕 boot space 👌
Dono bohot achi hain. Video bnate time reveal nai Hui thi. Both recommended for long term use 👌🏻
@DriveShrive Thanks 😊 🙏 But still I prefer Amaze coz the premium feel of ⭐❤HONDA❤⭐ and Complete refinement and high quality proper CVT
what about Citroen C3 for long term use service centre is there near my house and please suggest best reliable amt under 8 lakhs for long term
Yes it's good if the SVC is near
What about petrol mt 3XO ?
My monthly running is aprox 500 km
