Please suggest an affordable EV. My usage is around 100 km per month.

•9w

With just 100km a month, an electric car is unlikely to make financial sense for you. The fuel savings are too small to offset the higher purchase price, and you will not be using the car enough to justify the investment in a battery-powered vehicle. At this usage level, a simple, reliable petrol car is the better choice. Something like a Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 or a Celerio will be far more affordable to buy, cheap to maintain and perfectly suited to your low running. But if you are set on an EV, the Tata Tiago EV is your best option, but be aware that at your usage, the cost savings will be negligible. The smarter decision is to go petrol and keep your ownership costs low.

Don't buy ev car if monthly running is below 1500 kms.... If less running then go with petrol engine Less maintenance and lesser upfront cars... No range anxiety.... Buy ev car always when you have an Primary petrol/Diesel car

@arif.786 I already have a petrol car, Can I buy EV car for city usage(around 250 kms/month)? I am prefering EV because of petrol shortage issues.

•9w•

@srinivask buying an ev for just 250 kms monthly is not a good practical idea.. Investing so much for few miles... Just add 13-15 litres of extra petrol in your existing car solves the problem... Buying and maintaining another car unnecessary for just 250 kms is not a good idea... In case 2: In case you and your family members need secondary vehicle for monthly daily short rides, and don't want to engage your primary petrol car... Then go with Alto Spresso For simple city rides also you can go with automatic transmission.... Paying less upfront And always near to zero maintenance meets to your monthly running. Hope this helps

@arif.786 I have Honda City which is difficult to travel and park in city, so I want to buy a small car for daily commute to office. What would you go with if you are in my place?

I am looking to buy a new car for my parents with a budget of Rs 9.5 lakh. It should be petrol-powered, offer good fuel efficiency of over 17kpl, and have decent safety and reliability. The biggest constraint is parking space, so the car must be under 4,225mm in length and 1,745mm in width.

•1d

Given your budget, parking constraints and the need for good fuel efficiency, safety and reliability, the Maruti Suzuki Swift is the most sensible choice. At 3860mm long and 1735mm wide, it fits comfortably within your parking limitations. The 1.2-litre petrol engine is efficient, reliable and easy to drive, making it well-suited for your parents, though achieving 17kpl+ will depend greatly on the driving conditions and driving style. Maruti's service network and low maintenance costs add to the ownership peace of mind, and the Swift also comes with decent safety features, including multiple airbags and ESP on higher variants. And on your budget of Rs 9.5 lakh, you should get a ZXi or ZXi+ variant.If you want something smaller still, consider the Maruti Suzuki Celerio, which offers much of what the Swift does in a smaller package. If anything, its 1.0 litre petrol engine is even more efficient, though lacking a bit in punch compared to the 1.2, and the high seating position and great visibility will be a boon to your parents. Overall, however, the Swift feels like the more upmarket and comfortable choice, and makes better use of your Rs 9.5 lakh budget.

Hi, I’m looking for an electric car priced around Rs 10–12 lakh. Which would be the best option in terms of service support and charging convenience?

•3d

Go for the Tata Tiago EV. It is the most sensible electric car under Rs 10-12 lakh, and Tata Motors has the widest EV service network in this price range. The Tiago EV is a well-proven product with a decent real-world range for city use, and Tata’s charging network is one of the most extensive among mainstream manufacturers. If you want something slightly larger, the Tata Punch EV is also worth considering, but it will stretch your budget a bit. Overall, the Tiago EV strikes the best balance for your requirements.

I want to buy a strong hybrid car for an approximate monthly running of 800-1,000 km, mostly in the city, with occasional outstation trips.

•5h

The Victoris Hybrid is the most sensible choice here because it is essentially the same car as the Grand Vitara and Hyryder underneath, but it gets a more premium interior and a better feature list, including level 2 ADAS, at a similar price. The hybrid system is proven, the ownership experience is straightforward, and the car is well suited to both city and highway use. The only thing to keep in mind is that the boot is on the smaller side due to the battery pack, but overall it is the most balanced and value-for-money hybrid option in this segment.

I currently drive a Hyundai i10 CNG, with daily running of around 6 km in Gurgaon city traffic and a monthly highway drive of around 200 km. I am now planning to upgrade my car, with an on-road budget of Rs. 12 lakh for a petrol sub-4-metre SUV, up to Rs. 14 lakh for a petrol midsize SUV, and Rs. 15 lakh for an EV. I live in a rented apartment on the second floor, so I am apprehensive about getting an EV. I prefer an EV, but installing a charger could be complicated due to the sanctioned load. My running could increase to nearly 800 km per month in the future. My key priorities are: - Good suspension and ride comfort, as I have a back problem - Decent fuel efficiency in heavy city traffic - Low to medium maintenance costs - Auto hold and ventilated seats would be good to have I sometimes consider buying a manual, but I mostly prefer an automatic. I am currently considering the Maruti Brezza, Baleno AMT, Fronx AMT/AT, Sonet iMT, Exter AMT, and even the upcoming Inster, VF3, and Bayon. I am open to other suggestions as well. Note: I had a bad driving experience with the Punch AMT, as it caused back fatigue.

•3d

Given your priorities of ride comfort, fuel efficiency and low maintenance, the Maruti Brezza automatic is the most sensible upgrade. It offers a comfortable ride, a proven naturally aspirated petrol engine and Maruti's strong service network, which keeps long-term ownership costs in check. The torque converter automatic is smooth in city traffic, and the Brezza's higher seating position will help with your back issues. The Sonet iMT is not the right choice here. While it is a good car, the iMT is not a true automatic and will not offer the same ease of use in Gurgaon traffic. The Baleno AMT and Exter AMT are also not ideal given your back issues and the fact that AMT gearboxes are not as smooth as torque converter automatics in stop-start conditions.On the EV front, your apprehension about charging is valid. Without a straightforward home charging solution, an EV will add unnecessary complexity to your ownership experience. The upcoming Bayon is interesting and if you can wait a few weeks you would have a better picture before making a decision. For now, the Brezza automatic strikes the best balance between comfort, efficiency and hassle-free ownership.

Hi, I’m confused between the Skoda Kylaq and Tata Punch EV and would like some advice on which one to buy. The car will primarily be used for city driving, with occasional highway trips. The budget is Rs 10-14 lakh on-road. I previously owned a Volkswagen Polo GT TDI, so I’m looking for a car that can offer a similar level of driving satisfaction while also being practical for everyday use. I’m currently confused between these two options and would appreciate some guidance.

Go for the Skoda Kylaq 1.0 TSI. With your budget of Rs 10-14 lakh, mostly city usage and occasional highway runs, the Kylaq is the better fit. It offers a familiar driving experience coming from a Polo GT TDI, with a punchy turbo petrol engine, solid build quality and a sorted ride and handling balance. The Tata Punch EV is a good city car, but the Kylaq is more versatile for occasional highway trips and long-term ownership. The Kylaq also offers better rear seat space and a more premium feel overall. The Punch EV makes sense only if your usage is almost entirely city-based and you have reliable home charging. Given your budget and usage pattern, the Kylaq is the more balanced and sensible choice.

I am planning to buy a new vehicle for myself and my parents. I have seen the new Audi Q3 2026 and am quite interested in it, but I am not fully convinced about the petrol-only option. I was hoping for a hybrid version, especially considering fuel efficiency at this price point. Secondly, I am also looking for a 4x4 and am currently waiting for the new Fortuner. However, I am confused because many people are suggesting the new Scorpio N or Thar Roxx, saying that if the primary purpose is off-roading, there is no need to spend so much on a Fortuner. Please suggest what would be the better option for my requirements.

•1d

The Audi New Q3 is a good choice if you want a premium, comfortable SUV, but I would not buy it expecting a hybrid. The India-spec Q3 is expected to use a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with 204hp, a 7-speed DCT and quattro AWD, with no confirmed hybrid version for India.If your requirement is genuine 4x4 capability, the Toyota Fortuner remains a very different proposition. The next-generation Fortuner is already being tested and is expected in India by early 2027. It is expected to retain petrol and diesel engines, 4x4 capability and the ladder-frame construction, while gaining a much more modern cabin and ADAS.The Mahindra Scorpio N is the sensible alternative if you want a capable 4x4 without spending Fortuner money. The Thar Roxx makes more sense if off-road ability is the priority, but it is less comfortable and practical as a family SUV.For parents, the Q3 will be considerably easier to live with in the city, while the Fortuner is better suited to long-distance touring and serious rough-road use.
