Bury it in the garden...
You've come to buy or sell?
Sir, I want to buy a compact SUV...
Yeah, it's available...
Listen!
One tandoori chicken...
And salad separately...
What was that?
The thing is...
It's difficult to decide with an empty stomach!
Here's your amuse-bouche!
You mean Amaze?
That sedan from Honda?
Amuse-bouche means starter!
And what a way to start!
The Kia Sonet is a very rare breed of...
Great looks, a long list of features...
And a drive that is unparalleled...
Thanks to multiple combinations to pick from.
The one we prefer is the 1.0-litre turbo with DCT...
Just like an amuse-bouche itself...
Don't be fooled by the engine's tiny output...
It packs in a massive punch, and is great fun to drive!
But the driver's, not only the only one who'll be enjoying himself...
As the comfortable rear seats can accommodate two...
With more than enough comfort...
There's even a refreshed Kia logo...
That looks a lot more modern and youthful...
To go along with everything...
Hard to say no to this...
Honestly!
Sir!
Done! Done, done!
Where's my chequebook?
He's full after the starter only!
He's a vegan!
Four course are still left!
Now, we'll feed you the cream of compact SUV...
Soup!
There is nothing like hot soup...
On a cold evening...
Nothing as hearty and wholesome...
And the Hyundai Venue fits that bill perfectly!
The Hyundai Venue is the dose of common sense we all need...
There we say it, and we do - it's essential!
The cream of tomato soup of the car world...
The Venue may not excite you tremendously...
But, it will reassure you with its ease of ownership over an extended period...
It's comfortable, spacious enough...
And has a decent amount of features and won't offend most...
It's a no-nonsense runaround...
That will happily play its role of being a silent sidekick...
In whatever your endeavours may entail...
At the end of the day...
We all want someone like that, don't we?
VFM!
Value for money!
Sir, this is also great!
Hey! Only the boss is allowed to crack joke around here!
Value for money...
Let's talk about the main course!
Full, unlimited thali!
The new kid on the block trying valiantly to woo you away from the established runners...
Is the Magnite!
Its secret recipe is its value!
You get most of what you want at a drastically less price...
We love the way it looks...
Its tremendously refined Xtronic CVT...
And the amount of space on offer for the rear passengers...
This isn't just about playing the game for Nissan...
It's about changing it altogether!
It has been just a few months since it launched...
And it's well on its way to doing just that!
It's the quintessential main course that will fill you up...
To your heart's content...
Without compromising your wallet's integrity!
Excuse me...
Hey, what happened to the food?
It's showing that Shubarat... Shubababrat... Shubhabrata Marmar has picked up your order...
What a weird name!
If I buy the Magnite...
Then I'll save Rs 2,21,000!
Sir, decided!
Have some dessert!
How's any meal complete without dessert, right?
Tata's coming of age vehicle, the Nexon...
Is the carrot halwa or the gulab jamun that follows the sumptuous main course...
It wowed people with its incredible looks when it entered the market...
And it has only gotten better since for this compact SUV...
It's flashy, artsy, and its strong sales month on month...
Are a reflection of the value people see in the compact SUV...
Thanks to its healthy mix of usable performance...
A feature list and its good-looking facade.
If ????? there's even a Nexon EV...
Which might be a giant leap into the unknown for a country like India...
But Tata has to be commended for its forward-thinking attitude...
All said and done, the Nexon makes for one solid purchase!
So...
What comes after the sweet dish?
Paan!
To cap off a fantastic meal...
A paan is needed!
It's simple yet effective...
And it's honestly quite addictive...
All those qualities can be attributed to the Maruti Suzuki Brezza as well!
It's not perfect, mind you...
The dated interiors, the comparatively lacklustre styling...
And a features list that would fill up a post-it note at best...
Are all the things that are going against it...
But people focusing on all that are missing the point...
The Brezza is by far the most fun to drive car in this segment...
Especially if you spec it with manual transmission...
Which we insist you do!
The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine is delightful to listen to, all the way to the redline...
And the gear shifts are very smooth and well-defined...
Just what you'd expect from a Japanese car...
If it's the driving thrills that you're looking for in this segment...
Don't even think, the Brezza is for you!
Now what?
Bill!
Which one do you think is the tastiest compact SUV?
Please help me out and let me know...
