I own a 2011 HR-registered Honda City with 1.30 lakh km on the odometer, and it is still in immaculate condition. Although it is HR-registered, I am currently using it in Mumbai. The registration is expiring in August 2026. Is there a way to renew it through the green tax or any other option, considering NCR rules?

Since you are in Mumbai, your practical path is to re-register the car at the Maharashtra RTO before the August 2026 expiry. For that you need an NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the respective Haryana RTO, a letter that lets you shift the registration to another state. Clear any fines, make sure insurance and PUC are valid, and if the car once had a loan, get a closure letter from the bank.
With the NOC, Mumbai RTO will inspect the car, take the due road tax as per Maharashtra rules and green tax if applicable, and issue a new MH number. After that, you can legally keep using it in Mumbai, with periodic renewals as required. We'd suggest you begin the re-registration process immediately, as it could take a few weeks to complete.

A single owner 2020 Maruti S-Presso VXi (O) with 24,000km, single owner in Mumbai should fetch you Rs 3.4-3.6 lakhs, based on the condition of your vehicle.If the car is in excellent condition with a full service history, no accident record and clean paperwork, you can aim for the higher end of that range. If you are selling to a dealer, expect the offer to be around Rs 20,000-30,000 lower than a direct sale to an individual.

I am confused between the Kia Seltos HTX IVT and the Tata Safari Adventure X Plus. The price difference between the two is around Rs. 2.5 lakh. My priorities are overall comfort, especially rear-seat comfort, decent fuel efficiency, and a strong road presence. Which one would you recommend?

Go for the Kia Seltos HTX IVT. It is the better fit for your priorities of comfort, rear seat experience, decent mileage and road presence. The Seltos is a well-rounded midsize SUV with a comfortable ride, a spacious and supportive rear seat and a smooth IVT automatic that makes city driving effortless while still delivering respectable fuel efficiency. It also has a premium cabin and enough road presence to feel special without being cumbersome in everyday use.The Tata Safari Adventure X Plus is a larger, more imposing SUV with a stronger road presence and a more commanding driving position, but it is a fundamentally different proposition. It is a three-row SUV with a bigger footprint, higher running costs and is best suited to buyers who regularly need the extra space or do a lot of highway touring. For your priorities, the Seltos is the more sensible and satisfying choice, and the Rs 2.5 lakh you save can be put towards a higher variant or other ownership costs.

Hi, We currently own a 7-year-old Hyundai i20 Active, which we use for 60 - 70% city driving and the remaining 30-40% on highways. We are planning to buy an electric car, but we are a bit concerned about the current uncertainty surrounding government policies related to EVs. We have shortlisted the Hyundai Creta Electric and the Mahindra XEV 9S. Which one would you recommend for our usage? Also, what is your opinion on the resale value of EVs over the next 5-7 years?

Given your usage pattern of 60-70% city driving with regular highway runs, the Hyundai Creta Electric is the more sensible choice. This Hyundai car is a more mature and well-rounded product, with Hyundai’s strong service network and a proven track record in EVs. The Creta Electric also benefits from a more mainstream brand image, which should help with long-term ownership confidence and potentially better resale value.The Mahindra XEV 9S is a very capable EV with a larger battery and longer claimed range, but it is a much bigger and heavier car, which makes it less suited to city driving.On resale value, electric cars are still a developing story in India. Battery health, warranty coverage and the pace of technological change will all play a role. Mainstream brands with strong service networks are likely to hold value better, and Hyundai’s wider reach gives it an advantage here. That said, EV resale values are still not as predictable as ICE cars, so it is best to view the purchase as a long-term ownership proposition rather than banking on strong resale.Overall, the Creta Electric strikes a better balance between city usability, highway capability and ownership confidence.

Hi, my brother and I are planning to buy a new family car. Our budget is RS. 10 lakh, and our maximum monthly running will be around 500 km. Our priorities are a reliable engine, good performance, and fuel efficiency. Please suggest the best all-rounder car within our budget.

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the most sensible recommendation here. It is spacious enough for family use, has a proven and reliable engine, and is one of the most fuel-efficient cars in its segment. Maruti’s service network and low maintenance costs also make it a very easy car to own over the long term.If you prefer a sedan, the Honda Amaze is worth considering. Honda’s engines are known for their reliability and refinement, and the Amaze is a comfortable and well-built sedan.Overall, the Baleno is the most balanced choice. It offers the best combination of space, efficiency, reliability and low running costs, which is exactly what you need given your usage and budget.

Which car should I buy for a maximum monthly usage of 500 km? It will be used mostly by a 60-year-old person and his wife.

Given your requirements, the focus should be on ease of use, comfort and long-term reliability rather than performance. The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the most sensible choice here. It is easy to drive, has a comfortable ride, a spacious cabin and it is easy to get in and out of. It is also extremely reliable and inexpensive to maintain, which is important for long-term ownership. The petrol engine is smooth and efficient, and with your low low monthly running, there is no need to consider diesel, hybrid or EV options. If you prefer a slightly higher seating position for better visibility, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx is a good alternative, offering the same reliability and ease of ownership in a more SUV-like package. Both cars are easy to manoeuvre in the city, comfortable on occasional highway runs and backed by Maruti’s extensive service network, making them ideal for your usage.

I currently own a Skoda Kushaq Petrol AT. Everything is fine except the mileage. I am getting only around 10-13kpl with E20 petrol. My daily running is around 100 km. Should I buy a diesel car or an electric car?

Verified

With a daily running of around 100 km, fuel efficiency becomes a major factor in ownership costs. The Skoda Kushaq petrol automatic is a good car, but the 10-13kpl you are seeing is typical for a turbo petrol automatic, especially with E20 petrol. At this usage, a diesel or a strong hybrid makes far more sense.If you do regular highway runs, a diesel is still the most practical and cost-effective solution. The Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel automatic would be the recommendation here. It is a strong highway car, comfortable, spacious and the diesel engine will deliver significantly better fuel efficiency than your Kushaq. Diesel running costs will be far lower over your kind of mileage. If that is out of your budget, something smaller like a Kia Seltos diesel, while not as powerful, is even more efficient.If your usage is mostly city a strong hybrid could be a better solution. The Maruti Suzuki Victoris is the most practical and cost-effective option. It is well priced, has a proven track record and will dramatically reduce your running costs. The strong hybrid is better suited to the city, where it is more likely to run on its electric motor than use the engine and deliver the better mileage.
