I have recently bought a Tata Safari Stealth Black Accomplished Plus X variant and also own a 2016 Maruti Suzuki Ritz diesel. I am planning to buy a new sub-compact SUV or sedan and would like your suggestion on the best car I can get for up to ₹15 lakh.

Since you have a Tata Safari, we assume you want the smaller car primarily for city use, and interior space or highway stability would not be that high on the priority list. Thus, we would suggest the Skoda Kylaq. Measuring under 4 meters in length, it is easy to manage in crowded cities, and the 1.0-litre engine is peppy enough. Importantly, it comes with the option of a torque convertor gearbox, which is the smoothest type to have and something you will appreciate in stop-and-go traffic.

If it's a sedan, then check out the Honda Amaze. This too is under 4 meters in length, has light and easy controls, and while the automatic isn't a torque convertor. It has a CVT autobox, which is still the better option to have than an automated manual (AMT).

I am confused between the Tata Safari petrol and the Scorpio N. Which would be better, and what's the major difference between the Tata Safari Pure X and Adventure X Plus?

The Safari's three rows are much more comfortable and spacious than the Mahindra Scorpio N's, and its suspension feels a lot plusher too, making it better to drive as well. Overall, the Tata Safari feels more polished in comparison, hence it gets our vote.The price difference between Pure X and Adventure X Plus variant of the Safari is approximately Rs 1.40 lakh (on-road), with the latter being more expensive. For the premium, the Adventure X Plus variant gets larger 18-inch alloys (vs 17s in the Pure X), drive modes, one-touch up and down driver's power window, electonic parking brake with auto hold, rear defogger, leatherette upholstery and an electric driver's seat with memory.While these are nice to have, none of these features is a deal-maker. Instead, the Pure X variant is very well-equipped and actually a better value for money.

Is it a good time to buy the Innova Crysta now, or should I go with the Safari? Which is the better option? I am looking for a 7-seater SUV. Or is there any other option to consider?

While the Toyota Innova Crysta does have its merits, namely reliability and resale value, the Tata Safari is a better choice in almost every other way. The Tata Safari uses a monocoque chassis with independent suspension, which gives it much better ride quality than the ladder-frame chassis and solid rear axle of the Crysta.The Safari also has a more modern interior, is much better equipped, and offers better performance, with the option of an automatic gearbox, which the Crysta no longer has. Considering all of these factors, the Safari would be our pick between the two.However, if you are looking for alternatives, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is a more direct competitor to the Safari. The ride quality with the new Da Vinci suspension is superb. It is better equipped with things like the triple-screen setup as standard, and its diesel engine offers better performance too.

Hi team, I want to buy a 7-seater car. Need advice between Toyota HyCross GX (O), Tata Safari or Mahindra 7XO.

You should go for the Toyota Innova HyCross GX (O) if you want a true 7-seater with the roomiest third row of seats. The HyCross's 2,850 mm wheelbase and flat floor make the third row friendlier for adults than the Tata Safari or the Mahindra XUV 7XO. Furthermore, it's backed up by Toyota’s proven reliability and hassle-free ownership in India.However, you will have to compromise when it comes to the powertrain. The Hycross' 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine isn't as punchy as the Tata Safari and XUV 7XO's turbocharged units, and real-world mileage is quite poor, as we managed 6.9kpl in the city and 12.4kpl on the highway. The Toyota also doesn't get a diesel engine option like the other two.If you prioritise performance and high-end features, either the Safari or the Mahindra XUV 7XO makes more sense. As for pricing, the Innova HyCross GX (O) is priced between Rs 20.43 lakh and Rs 20.56 lakh (ex-showroom).
