I’m looking to buy an automatic car within a ₹10–15 lakh budget, mainly for city commuting with the occasional highway trip. What would you recommend?”

CarBikeGPT Says: For your usage pattern, a petrol automatic makes the most sense thanks to smoother drivability and lower city running stress.
The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder with the 1.5-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox are strong picks in this price range.
Both are comfortable in traffic, refined on the highway and easy to live with.
They share the same mechanicals, so the final choice should come down to design preference, interior feel and dealership experience.
