Please suggest a reliable, safe, automatic mid-size SUV with the following requirements. Budget: ₹15-16 lakh on-road Running: Around 1,000 km per month, with 70% city and 30% highway use.
With your kind of driving, it would be better to opt for a diesel car. This will help you keep fuel costs in check. In the budget you have mentioned, a Diesel and Automatic combination is difficult to find in the midsize SUV segment.
Instead, you can opt for the Tata Nexon Diesel AMT. It is a good choice for your budget. Nexon diesel with AMT delivered 18 kmpl mileage in our real-world mileage test.
Yes, Tata Motors is not particularly known for reliability, but the Nexon has been in the market for a long and some of the earlier issues have been resolved. Tata Motors is also trying to change the perception of its reliability, and hopefully, customers will see the difference soon. Given that most of your driving is in the city, do remember to take the car out for a longer drive occasionally so the DPF can regenerate properly.

Hi, I’m looking for an entry-level EV for my daily office commute of about 120 km per day. My options are the Tata Tiago EV and Punch EV. Is there any update expected for the Tiago EV in the near future, or do you have any other suggestions?
Tata Punch EV is a better option for your usage. In our real-world range test, Punch EV Long Range delivered 229km with an efficiency of 6.54km/kWh. As you travel around 120 km a day, Punch EV LR will offer you more and a hassle-free ownership experience.
Tata Tiago EV has a real-world range of around 187 km (as tested by us), which is manageable, but will always be borderline for your usage. Punch EV's cabin is also more spacious and can carry more luggage compared to the Tiago EV. So, unless you are on a budget, you should go for the Tata Punch EV LR.

I am a first-time car buyer, 61 years old, and I want a tall car so I don’t have to slouch. I have knee and lower back issues, and want my first car to be a Tata. My budget can vary or be modified according to my comfort needs.
Tata Motors has a wide range of crossover and SUV options that you could consider depending on your budget. However, since you are a first-time car buyer, we would advise you against the Tata Sierra and Harrier, which are quite large and might seem intimidating to drive.
The Tata Punch is a good starting point and worth a look, but we feel the Nexon is the best pick for your requirements. It sits at a comfortable height, so you won't need to slouch down to enter it, and the vehicle itself is of a comfortable size - roomy enough to accommodate four adults with ease yet small enough to be convenient to drive.
We'd suggest you opt for an automatic transmission version that will help remove the bother of modulating the clutch pedal. If your budget allows, the smooth dual-clutch automatic version is the one to buy.

I am 69 years old and currently drive, and am driven in, an MG Hector. The vehicle feels too large for me, especially for parking and driving in NCR traffic. I want to sell it and buy something smaller, preferably an EV. I drive about 20 km daily and take one outstation trip a month, mostly to the hills (600-800 km). I want a slightly higher driving position, decent safety features, and an automatic transmission. I liked the Nexon EV 45. My budget is around ₹15 lakh, but I am open to suggestions.
In our congested cities, a small car does make better sense, and EVs are perfect for city driving. The Tata Nexon EV 45 has a claimed range of 489km; however, in our real-world range test, it delivered a range of 350km, which is more than adequate for your everyday usage. Long drives can be managed, too, with some planning.
Since you have mentioned driving to the hills, it is worth keeping in mind that EVs lose range quickly on uphill drives, so planning becomes even more important. Otherwise Nexon EV 45 seems like a good fit for you. This Tata car has a smaller footprint, making it a perfect vehicle for maneuvering in city traffic and finding parking spaces.

I am 65 years old and will be superannuating from service soon. My current car is chauffeur-driven. I am now looking for a comfortable automatic car for city use that I can drive myself, with occasional long trips of up to 300 km. My budget is ₹8 lakh on-road. Please suggest suitable options.
There are quite a few automatic options within your budget. However, we'd narrow the list down to models with high seating, which are more convenient to get into and out of. The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R would be the first model we'd recommend for you. Its high seating, excellent visibility and airy cabin are aspects you will appreciate. This Maruti car is easy to drive, and the brand’s hassle-free ownership is a plus in its own right. Opt for the AMT gearbox with the more powerful 1.2-litre petrol engine.
Within the Maruti line-up, you could also look at the Ignis AMT, though ride comfort is a bit harsh. Other alternatives with high seating include the Nissan Magnite AMT, Renault Kiger AMT and Tata Punch AMT.

Hi. I’m a first-time car buyer with no driving experience, but I want to buy a CNG automatic car. Please suggest between the Tiago and the Tigor. It should be value for money. My monthly commute will be about 500 km in the city and a weekly highway trip of around 300-500 km.
If you want CNG with AMT, you have a limited choice. Tata Tiago is a better option between the two. While Tata Motors has not updated the product in some time now, there are very few CNG AMTs in the market currently.
If that is your requirement, then the Tata Tiago makes more sense. It offers better cabin space, and it has a usable boot despite the CNG cylinders taking up some luggage room.
The other option you can consider is the Nissan Magnite. It is easier on the pocket and has been updated recently. Maginte too comes with the CNG and AMT combination.

Hi, I am planning to buy an automatic car for my dad. He wants a small car that is easy to drive and park in Chennai traffic. I am considering the MG Comet. Is it a good option?
The MG Comet is a wonderful city runabout thanks to its small footprint, light steering and tight turning circle, good visibility, as well as smooth and adequately zippy electric motor. What's more is that it is surprisingly spacious to ferry 4 adults, should the need arise.
Moreover, with just two occupants on board, it also makes for an excellent car for the airport run (by folding the rear seats), as it can accommodate four large suitcases with ease. Yes, its ride comfort or audio system isn't as good as the Tata Tiago EV's, which is available at a similar price. But purely looking at it from a convenience and ease-of-use point of view, this MG car is an excellent secondary car.

I have been using a Brezza diesel without any issues for the past eight years and am now looking to upgrade. My requirements include a decent mileage of around 15 kmpl, adequate power, reliability, and seating for five. I am considering the Sierra diesel or turbo-petrol, Creta, or the new 7XO. My budget is under ₹25 lakh, and I live in a tier-2 city. Please advise.
If you simply want a 'fill-it, shut-in, forget-it' type of car, get the Hyundai Creta diesel. It is very fuel-efficient, has adequate space to seat 5 adults, and it is feature-packed, too. And with Hyundai, your ownership experience is likely to be hassle-free. The new Kia Seltos is also a great alternative if you have a Kia touchpoint nearby.
The upcoming Mahindra XUV 7XO's diesel engine is smooth, refined, and delivers strong performance. But being a big, heavy car, you will have to make a conscious effort to drive with a light foot in order to achieve an efficiency of 15kpl.
The Tata Sierra is the newest product. Its diesel engine is noisier than the other two options, and the turbo-petrol isn't likely to deliver the fuel efficiency you are looking for.

Asked by: Saion Dec 29, 2025
My daily commute ranges between 40 and 50 km. Which EV would you suggest between the MG Windsor EV and the Tata Punch EV, or should I wait for the Tata Sierra EV? I am 6 ft 3 inches tall and need good legroom.
The MG Windsor EV is not only a superior electric vehicle but is also significantly roomier than the Tata Punch EV. The MG's added space is something you will really appreciate, making it the easy pick of the two models on your shortlist.
However, if you don't mind the wait, the Tata Sierra EV could be the best pick for you. It's larger than the Windsor EV and promises more headroom, legroom, and shoulder room. Final specifications for the Sierra EV aren't out yet, but we expect it to be more powerful and capable of delivering a longer range than the Windsor EV.

Asked by: Sharathon Dec 28, 2025
I’m looking for a diesel SUV and am torn between the Force Gurkha, Tata Safari, and Scorpio N. It will be my second car, mainly for highway trips and some city driving. Which one should I choose?
Out of the three options, the Tata Safari is the one to go for, for its excellent ride comfort, both on the highway and in urban conditions. It feels tough, and flattens bad roads very nicely.
Moreover, it is more comfortable in all three rows than the Mahindra Scorpio N. Tata's 2.0-litre diesel engine is punchy, although the Mahindra car has an edge in terms of refinement.
The Force Gurkha is the most rugged of the three, and the most capable off-road. But since you want a car for on-road driving, it is also the least comfortable, feels utilitarian, its diesel engine lacks performance, and there is a lot more body roll than the other two cars.
