I’m planning to buy a new motorcycle in the adventure tourer segment. I’m confused between the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX and the newly launched TVS Apache RTX 300. My main priorities are comfort and reliability. I’m not very keen on features, as they might increase service costs in the long run.

Given your requirements, you should consider the Skoda Kylaq. It comes with a punch 115hp, 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine that's paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The Kylaq also comes feature-loaded with equipment such as a 10-inch touchscreen, a sunroof, ventilated and powered front seats, a wireless charger and much more.The Skoda SUV has also received a full, 5-star crash safety rating from Bharat NCAP. However, the Kylaq is a bit short on space in the rear for three adults, and it misses out on ADAS features. If you want a more spacious cabin and ADAS, consider the Mahindra XUV 3XO.

Since you're after the best infotainment system in a sub-four-metre SUV, it has to be the new Hyundai Venue, whose Nvidia-based dual-screen system is the best in the segment by a long shot. What's more, the 8-speaker Bose sound system is an excellent companion for driving around town, and while the previous Venue had a firm suspension and choppy ride, things are far improved with the new version that's built on an all-new platform.Being a Hyundai car, service is no problem, with plenty of coverage and easily available parts. Since your usage is primarily around town, we recommend the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with the 7-speed DCT gearbox.Another alternative is the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, which is perhaps even easier on the maintenance side, but is not as spacious or comfortable as the Venue, and misses out on some features in comparison.

The Kia Seltos is newer, smoother, and it feels more modern compared to a Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. The Kia's petrol-IVT combination is very smooth and seamless, and Kia has got the suspension tune spot on for comfort.Moreover, its front seats are broader and more comfortable than the Toyota's, so you will be able to spend long hours driving on the highway without fatigue.

A car that will meet most of your requirements is the Tata Sierra Turbo Petrol, which gets one of the longest wheelbases in the segment, translating to ample cabin space. It features a 450-liter boot (measured to the parcel tray) that is comparable for this segment class, while the 60:40 split-folding second row offers flexible luggage space.This Tata car is packed to the hilt with features, including a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, a three-screen setup, a 360-degree camera, 8-speaker JBL with surround sound and many more. The 1.5-litre Hyperion turbo petrol engine is refined with minimal turbo lag; its linear power delivery makes it much easier to drive in city traffic. It also delivers strong performance.In our preliminary testing, it clocked 0-100kph in just 10.09 seconds, making it one of the fastest mid-size SUVs available. Sierra also gets one of the best ride qualities and handling in the segment.
