Hi, I’ve been driving a Hyundai Grand i10 for the last six years and now want to upgrade to an SUV. My budget is around ₹17 lakh, and I need an automatic gearbox (CVT or torque converter) and ventilated seats. Any suggestions? Should I wait for the Brezza facelift if it adds ventilated seats?

CarBikeGPT Says: If ventilated seats and an automatic are non-negotiable, the Kia Sonet GTX+ automatic is currently one of the best options in your budget. It offers a refined driving experience, a long list of features and, importantly, ventilated seats — which many rivals still miss in this price range.
If you're open to stretching your budget slightly, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder automatic is worth looking at. It’s larger, more comfortable, and comes with a smooth torque-converter gearbox along with ventilated seats.
As for the Brezza facelift, there’s no confirmed launch timeline or feature list yet. With ongoing festive and year-end offers, you may get a better deal now rather than waiting.
