I am planning to buy a car with a budget of Rs 5 lakh. I am looking at either the petrol Tata Indigo CS LX at one end or the Suzuki Ritz, Wagon R and the Ford Figo. It’s primarily for city travel, but the boot is often needed. The ground clearance should be good because Lucknow roads aren’t so great. What would you suggest?

In terms of boot space, the Indigo CS LX is your best bet, followed by the Figo and Ritz. All these three cars have excellent ground clearance too and have robust underpinnings. If it’s a sedan that you want then the Indigo CS will work fine, but among hatchbacks look at the Figo.
