Please suggest a used diesel manual 2WD SUV within a maximum budget of Rs.13 lakh. I prefer a vehicle that is not older than 8 years. My top priority is a strong torque-rich driving experience.

Considering your needs and budget, you should take a look at the Jeep Compass 2.0 diesel manual 4x2, ideally a 2018-2020 Sport or Longitude. It suits your brief because the torquey engine gives a strong shove from low revs, so this diesel car pulls cleanly in 3rd and 4th without needing frequent downshifts. That makes quick highway passes easy. It also feels steady at speed, and the build feels solid, which adds confidence on long drives.

Do note a couple of trade-offs. The clutch can feel a bit heavy in slow city traffic. Rear-seat and boot space are not as generous as those of larger rivals, so if you often travel with five adults, keep that in mind. Service costs will also be higher than those of a Maruti or Hyundai.

I own a 2018 Datsun Redi-GO, which I am planning to sell. I am looking for an EV priced between Rs 6 lakh and Rs 11 lakh. My monthly running is around 350-425 km. Please suggest a good car that suits my requirements.

The Tata Tiago EV is the most sensible recommendation in your budget. It is a proven product with a decent range for your usage and a compact footprint for city driving. Your running is not very high, so the financial savings will not be dramatic, but you will benefit from the smooth, quiet driving experience and low maintenance costs.The MG Comet is another option if you are looking for something even more compact and city-focused, but the Tiago EV is the more rounded car.The key is to ensure you have reliable charging at home, as your running does not justify the inconvenience of relying on public charging. If you do not have home charging, it is better to stick with a petrol car like the Maruti Suzuki Swift or Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, as they will be more hassle-free for your usage.

I am interested in the Citroen C5 Aircross and currently have an opportunity to buy a 2024/2025 model that is still unsold and available at a substantial discount. I am aware of the car’s strengths, which is why I am considering owning one. However, I have some concerns about long-term ownership. The new-generation C5 Aircross is already available in Europe, while the current-generation model sold in India has been discontinued. I am looking at keeping the car for 10 years or more, so my main concern is whether Citroen will be able to provide parts and after-sales support for the C5 Aircross over the long term, especially since it is a CKD model. Citroen already has a relatively small service network in India, and not all technicians may have experience working on the C5 Aircross. If parts are no longer available locally, will Citroen India be able to source them from France or other markets in the long term? I am willing to bear a higher cost for parts if necessary, but I would not want the car to eventually become unusable simply because essential parts are no longer available. I am quite confused about whether to go ahead with this purchase. I would appreciate your advice based on the current facts and Stellantis’ plans for Citroen in India, particularly regarding long-term parts availability and support for discontinued models.

If you love the Citroen C5 Aircross and are getting a substantial discount, it can still be a good buy, but your concerns are valid. Citroen is legally required to support the car with parts for at least 10 years after production ends, and more complex parts can be sourced from France, even if it takes time; however, since the C5 is an SKD model assembled in India, most wear-and-tear parts should be available here. The bigger issue is Citroen's limited service network and inconsistent technician expertise, which can make ownership frustrating if you are not near a strong dealership. You are prepared for the extra costs, but it will also require a bit more patience, but if you're prepared for that, the C5 Aircross remains a genuinely comfortable and refined SUV. If you are worried about long-term support, a more mainstream alternative like the new Kia Sorento may be the safer long-term ownership bet.

I’m considering buying a brand-new 2025-manufactured Audi Q3 Sportback (E20-compliant) after being offered an on-road price of Rs 55 lakh. I’m getting a good deal as it’s an outgoing model, and I’m quite inclined towards going ahead with it. However, before I make the decision, I’d like your unbiased expert opinion: does the Q3 Sportback at this price make sense, or should I reconsider and look at other options such as the Mahindra XUV 7XO (space is not a priority, as we are a family of four)? Also, are there any specific concerns with buying a 2025-manufactured outgoing Q3 in 2026 that I should consider?

•27m

Go for the Audi Q3 Sportback at Rs 55 lakh on-road. That is a genuinely strong deal for a 2025-manufactured car, and this Audi car remains a well-rounded premium SUV with a strong 2.0 TFSI engine, a well-built cabin, and a genuinely premium ownership experience. The fact that it is an outgoing model is not a major concern; Audi’s product cycles are long, and the Q3 will continue to be supported for years to come.The Mahindra XUV 7XO is a very different proposition. It offers more space, more features for the money, and a strong diesel option, but this Mahindra car is not a direct rival to the Q3. The Audi is a premium product with a different ownership experience, and if space is not a priority, the Q3 makes more sense.

Hi, I am planning to buy a CNG SUV and am considering the Tata Nexon CNG and Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG. I will be driving around 150km every day for office, so my main concerns are fuel economy and maintenance costs. Many people have suggested the Brezza because of its mileage and lower running costs, but Tata is also a large company and has a wide service network. So, why do buyers generally recommend the Brezza over the Nexon CNG? I personally prefer the Nexon, but I am confused about whether it would be the right choice for my daily usage. Which one would make more sense for my requirements?

•21h

Go with the Tata Nexon CNG if that is your preference. At 150 km daily, CNG is the right fuel choice, and both the Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Brezza are factory CNG cars, so reliability and safety are not a concern. The Nexon CNG is a strong product with good performance, a comfortable ride and a well-equipped cabin. The reason many people suggest the Brezza is Maruti's reputation for low maintenance costs, wide service reach and a long-standing reputation for hassle-free ownership. The Brezza CNG is also a very reliable and efficient package. However, the Nexon CNG is the more modern car and feels more premium inside.At 150 km daily, the key is to choose the car you will enjoy driving every day. The Nexon CNG is a solid choice, and there is no reason to change your decision.

I want to know the launch date of the new Toyota Innova Hycross model.

•3d

The Toyota Innova Hycross facelift is expected to launch in early 2027. Toyota has already been testing the updated Hycross in India, with spy shots showing a revised front end, new lighting elements and a redesigned bumper. The facelift is expected to bring some interior and feature updates as well, while the existing 2.0-litre petrol and strong hybrid powertrains are likely to continue. Toyota has not announced a confirmed launch date yet, so early 2027 is the current expectation rather than a firm date.

Hi, I want to buy my last car as I am 66 years old. I have been driving a Honda City for the last 12 years without any major hiccup. The Honda City engine and its reliability is excellent although its ground clearance is an issue. I have looked at Elevate and given its ground clearance as an SUV, I am impressed although the issues on E20 and abrupt blending issues are surely technical issues. Windsor EV was a great test drive but all controls on screen could be a bottleneck for me at my age and am planning to move to an automatic. Please recommend as experts. My monthly running will not be more than 500 km. Should I also look at Seltos. I will appreciate a feedback from experts. I want a reliable, easy to drive car with low maintenance cost and good family value with. There won't be any great pick ups or many highway drives will not be there.

Given your 12 years of trouble free City ownership, the Elevate is the most natural replacement. It retains Honda’s simple 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, adds substantially better ground clearance and gives you the easier ingress and SUV driving position you liked. The CVT is also very well suited to your low speed, low running usage and should make the transition to an automatic easy.On your E20 concern, we would not treat it as a reason to avoid the Elevate. Honda says all its cars manufactured in India since January 2009 are E20 material compatible, and the current Elevate is officially certified for E20. Honda also says E20 should not cause durability concerns or require any component changes. There can be a marginal reduction in fuel economy because ethanol contains less energy than petrol, but with your 500km monthly running, that is unlikely to be significant.The Seltos is worth a look, particularly if you want a more feature rich and premium cabin, but given your priorities of reliability, easy driving, low maintenance and long term ownership, the Elevate fits your requirements more naturally. The Windsor EV is also an interesting option, but at just 500km a month, there is little financial reason to move to an EV, especially when you have concerns about its touchscreen heavy interface.
