I am looking for a driver’s car, preferably a hatchback or sedan. My budget is around Rs 10-12 lakhs and I don’t like pretentious compact SUVs. I am confused between the Hyundai i20 N Line and the Tata Altroz. Which one would you recommend between the two?

Autocar India says: If you are looking for a driver’s car, that gives you driving pleasure, then the Hyundai i20 N Line is the better choice. The Tata Altroz handles very well and has a superb ride quality, but it is let down by a weak petrol engine. The i20 N-Line, although a bit more expensive, has a more potent 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and a nice ride and handling balance.
