Booked Swift (yes this red colour!!) yesterday after 2 years of saving up. Still can't believe it, nervous and excited at the same time.

Let me start by saying I love Autocar and its team. Keep up the good work. I currently own a Ertiga (petrol). I am looking for a 7-seater vehicle (preferably petrol) mainly to be used within city and occasional (once in a quarter) outstation trips. My daily driving is around 80-90 km. I have not thought about the budget at this stage. Kindly advise.

Thank you for the kind words! For your usage, the Toyota Innova HyCross Hybrid is the best fit. Your daily almost 100 km city driving makes fuel efficiency and ease of driving very important, and the HyCross Hybrid excels here with its strong hybrid system that delivers excellent fuel economy in city conditions. It is also a genuinely comfortable and spacious 7-seater, making it ideal for family use, and Toyota’s reputation for reliability and low maintenance costs makes it a sensible long-term ownership choice. For your occasional outstation trips, including hills, the HyCross Hybrid has enough power and refinement to handle highways and inclines comfortably. The only drawback is the higher upfront cost, but given your high daily running, the fuel savings and ownership experience justify the investment.

Currently driving a Wagon R, looking to upgrade with a budget of around 11-12 lakhs on road. Mostly city driving with one long trip a year. What would you actually recommend, confused with too many options.

I am a lady driver and drive around 65 km every day on the expressway. Twice a month, I also drive in the city and traffic. I am currently driving a Celerio, but it is 9 years old, so I am looking for a change. My budget is Rs. 10-12 lakh.

For your usage, the Skoda Kylaq is a good upgrade. Your 65 km daily expressway run means you need a car that is stable at speed and comfortable over long distances. The Kylaq delivers that very well. At your budget, you could get a lower-spec automatic, which would make it easy to drive in city traffic, which matters for your twice-a-month urban runs. The automatic gearbox is a torque converter, so its shifts are very smooth and it is very reliable too. The only possible downside is that fuel efficiency is not going to be very high, and given your high daily running, this is something that might bother you. If so, opt for the Maruti Suzuki Fronx 1.2L, which is also good at higher speeds and would be more fuel efficient. The auto box in this case is an AMT, which would not be as smooth, but this would only be a bit of a bother in city traffic and not on steady highway cruising.

I want to buy a new car for a family of five, and I am confused between the Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI Signature and the Kia New Seltos HTK naturally aspirated petrol.

Go for the Seltos HTK NA petrol. With a family of five, the Kia Seltos is the more sensible choice because it is simply the bigger and more comfortable car. The rear seat is wider, the cabin feels more spacious, and the boot is larger, which makes a difference on family trips. The naturally aspirated petrol engine of this Kia car is smooth and reliable, and the overall ownership experience is easy and stress-free.The Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI Signature is the better driver's car with a more engaging turbocharged engine, but it is a smaller SUV, and the rear seat is not as accommodating for three adults. For a family of five, comfort and space matter more than driving dynamics, and that is where the Seltos has a clear advantage.

Hi, I have been using Honda City CVT for the past 10 years and now, I am looking for an SUV with similar comfort but with the latest technology. My monthly running is approximately between 700-800 km mostly within Delhi.

Given your usage of 700-800 km a month in Delhi and a 10-year ownership of a Honda City CVT, the Honda Elevate CVT is the most natural upgrade. It retains the same Honda ownership experience, offers a comfortable ride and the CVT gearbox is smooth and well-suited to city driving. The Elevate also sits at a sensible price point and is backed by Honda’s strong reliability record, making it a stress-free long-term ownership proposition.If you want a more premium experience with a richer feature set, the Kia Seltos IVT is a good option. The IVT gearbox is smoother in traffic, the cabin feels more upmarket and the Seltos offers a wider range of modern features. However, it does come at a higher price point. The Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI automatic is worth considering if you enjoy driving, as it offers a more engaging experience and the torque convertor gearbox is also the smoothest around. The ride is a bit firmer and the ownership experience is not as straightforward as Honda or Kia, so make sure the dealer in your area is well reputed.
