Q. I want to purchase a petrol hatchback car, and my budget is around 8.5 Lakh and my running is around 30-40 km/day and mostly in city. Sometime goes for short trips on highway. I have selected 3 cars- i20 Sportz, Baleno Zeta, Freestyle T+ but I am very confused in all these cars, so suggest me which is better for me or any other option.

Selecting the right car would depend on certain factors such as your budget, features required, brand preference, comfort, cabin space, etc. If you are looking for a hatch that ticks a lot of boxes, the Baleno is a great option. There's plenty of features, efficient engine options, and more space than a number of more expensive sedans. On the other hand, The new Hyundai i20 doesn’t just offer loads of new tech, it also works better as a family car than before, albeit for a bit of a price increase. Whereas, the Freestyle adds some zing as well as practicality. Yes, the interior quality could’ve been better, and it isn’t any better in the space department either. The real big miss in our books is the lack of an automatic variant and the persistent quality issues carried over from the Figo and the Aspire. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test drive for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for the dealership details.
