This alone, in our books, is enough reason to seriously consider buying one. Then there's the fact that the new engine brings with it a bucketload of efficiency and also solves the automatic’s drinking habit to a fair extent. On the other hand, The Skoda Slavia offers a sweet balance between the alternatives currently available in the segment, blending modern tech with great space, practicality, and driveability. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

  • The Carens immediately comes across as a practical all-rounder with the right pricing to make it a proper disruptor. It’s when you want these qualities combined with better interior quality, more features, a stronger safety package, and more sophisticated drive options, that you should consider the Carens. On the hand, Toyota Innova Crysta is an MPV segment car and it would be a reliable package, if you require a comfortable car for a large family and want good power delivery, safety, and a spacious cabin, you may go for Innova Crysta. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which is better between Ciaz Sigma or S-cross Sigma?
  • The Maruti Ciaz 1.4 Sigma has been discontinued. On the other hand, the S-Cross is a very capable city car. With a petrol engine, it will become even better in its city duties.
