I plan to travel 280 to 300 km weekly (140 km each way) and am looking at either the N-torq 125 or 150. At age 41, I’ll also be carrying rice and small grocery items on the return. Should I go with the N-torq (125 or 150) or an EV scooter?

Asked by: Rajasekar K

From what you have told us, it seems that you travel quite a bit and want something practical yet peppy. The Ntorq scooter models are a good choice - they are decently practical and fun to ride. However, if you are open to considering something else in the 125cc space, you can also look at the Suzuki Access. It sacrifices some performance compared to the Ntorq 125 but offers better fuel efficiency and more practicality.

Asked by: Jagdish Sharma I drive less than 200 km a month, and my current Nexon (petrol) has run only 40,000 km in 7 years. I want to upgrade and keep my next car for at least 7-8 years. I can wait until 2027 or 2028, as there is no urgent need. We are a small family of two adults and a 10-year-old child. My heart says sedan, but I am open to other body styles. My priorities, in order, are safety, comfort, style, AWD and a brand with good service and maintenance. My budget is within ₹1.5 crore. I like the upcoming Tesla S, Volvo S90/ES90 and Lexus 350h. If Ford launches the Mustang, then only Mustang. While 2027/28 is a long time away, and it's near impossible to gauge which launches will happen then, unfortunately, most of the cars you have listed are unlikely to be launched in India. This is simply because sedans, of which you are a fan, are not as popular anymore, and small-volume brands like the ones you have listed - Tesla, Volvo, Lexus and even Ford at this stage - are unlikely to take a risk launching a new sedan in an SUV-heavy market like ours.Of the lot, the most likely is the next-gen Lexus ES, which is a unique and tech-laden hybrid or EV alternative to the established luxury sedan set. It meets all your requirements, including an AWD option, though it remains to be seen the specification Lexus chooses for India. Lexus cars are known for their reliability and relatively low maintenance costs, so keeping the car for 7-8 years should not be a problem.

Asked by: Pendurthi Prasan I own a Dzire petrol car and want to replace it with a new petrol car. Please suggest the best petrol car in the ₹10-12 lakh range. Without knowing your exact requirements, it would be hard to recommend one. If you've had a good experience with your Maruti Dzire, it might be worth considering the new-gen Dzire, which comes feature-packed. It also has received a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. Plus, this Maruti car also gets a smooth and efficient 1.2-litre petrol engine that can be had with either a 5-speed manual or AMT auto gearbox options.If you prefer a hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20 are good options in this budget. As for compact SUVs, there are a plethora of options available like the Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, and more.

Asked by: Dhruv I am from Himachal and currently own a 4th-gen Honda City. It is very comfortable but sometimes hard to manage in the mountains. I am looking to upgrade to a rugged SUV/Jeep. I test-drove the Thar Roxx and loved the go-anywhere feel, but the lack of thigh support at the front is a deal-breaker for me. The Innova HyCross offers ideal comfort for my family and me, but an MPV feels too large for my liking, and I do not need the extra two seats. Please give some recommendations. If you are happy with the Honda experience, you should consider the Elevate. It scores very well on seat comfort and also has other pluses like good ground clearance and a robust build. The suspension can also take quite a beating and is something that you will appreciate, especially on rough roads in the hills. The engine is adequate but doesn’t have the punch of a turbo engine in case.Alternatively, you could wait for the new Renault Duster that will go on sale in early 2026. The Duster is a tough amd hardy crossover, and the new one that will be offered with turbo-petrol engines should also satisfy with performance.
