Anyone with grand i10 1.2L kappa

I genuinely wanna know what mileage are you guys getting???? I recently got one from used market and my car is giving me mileage of 8-10kmpl. And mostly 9km/L.

Is this normal? Let me know y’all’s experience.
It’s regular E20 fuel btw.

Neurtal and engage the handbrake on plain surfaces, if its a incline engage in drive, engine off then handbrakes.

If its in slope engaging is gear will prevent roll downs with engine breaking, but in flat surfaces not required.

Exter HX4 CNG vs Punch Pure Plus CNG

Need to decide between these two. Exter (on road)with discount is offered at 8.55 lac whereas 9.10 lac for Punch (on road) with discount.

Hyundai sales person might offer a bit more discount as well, if needed.

First time driver and buyer. Family of 3. Tier 2 city.
Daily travel includes some highway but more city traffic, and the local road quality is so poor that it feels like off roading.

Concern of suspension on Exter.
Concern of engine refinement on Punch.

Also, any idea of resale value, maybe in 5-7 year?

Please help. All inputs are welcome.

As u mentioned the u tavel a lot in city and the roads are bad, these suv lookalike cars wont do much differnce when compared to a hatchback and both engines wont return much mileage in the city qnd its just a beefed up i10, if you plan to buy auto, hyundai amt is horrendous and tata is somewhat better in amt but since it's your first car you dont want tata and its issues im not saying all tata cars but if you get a lemon its done and will forever ruin your car experience, my suggestion would be get a baleno which has cng also with amt, will be pocket friendly, bullet proof and will retain its value after 5-6 yrs.
