I am planning to sell my 2017 Renault Kwid for Rs. 2.7 lakh and buy the Tata Tiago EV Creative Plus 24 kWh. My daily city commute is around 30-35 km. Does upgrading to Tiago EV make financial and practical sense based on my usage?

•5w

Yes, the Tata Tiago EV Creative Plus 24kWh makes good financial and practical sense for your usage. With a daily city commute of 30-35km, the Tiago EV’s range is more than sufficient, and you will be able to charge at home and run the car at a very low cost per kilometre. The Tiago EV is also a significant upgrade over the Kwid in terms of refinement, safety and overall driving experience. It is a well-packaged city car with a comfortable ride, decent space and a simple, fuss-free ownership proposition. The only thing to keep in mind is that the 24kWh battery pack is best suited to city use, so if your usage pattern changes and you start doing regular long highway trips, you will need to plan charging stops accordingly. Overall, given your current usage, the Tiago EV is a sensible and cost-effective upgrade.

My 3 years old Tata Tiago car petrol version is not giving satisfactory mileage

I generally drive car in city only, my year's running is around 7000 k m Should I go for Tiago ev or else petrol one Pl suggest

If difference is not much, tata punch ev makes more sense if you intend to keep it for long and not restrict the use only to 30km daily.. even otherwise charging almost every 2-3 days compared to a week.

@shivasai , I would suggest that you include Victoris and Elevate in your considerations

Rather than getting top variant of Tiago, you may plan for Punch Smart+40. 300+ range and better ground clearance with R16 wheels.

I have a budget of Rs 7 lakh and am looking to buy a car. I have a small child and parents with health issues. Which car should I go for if my priority is ride comfort, especially on the worst roads?

•1d

With a budget of Rs 7 lakh and a focus on ride comfort for a small child and elderly parents, the Tata Punch is the best fit. It has a genuinely comfortable ride for the segment, with a suspension that deals well with broken roads and speed breakers. The seats are supportive, and the cabin is spacious enough for a small family. The high seats and wide-opening doors also make it easy for your parents to get in and out. The drawback is that your budget will get you one of the base models. If you can't stretch your budget to one of the mid-level trims, consider the Tata Tiago instead, but you will be compromising on interior space and ease of ingress and egress.Alternatively, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R also offers easy ingress and egress for elderly parents, but the Punch and Tiago offer a better ride. Overall, the Punch strikes the best balance between comfort, practicality and value at this price point.

I currently own a Tata Altroz Turbo Petrol Manual and am considering upgrading to a new car. My key requirements are budget up to Rs. 13 lakh on-road with automatic transmission. Good ground clearance is a high priority. My annual running is around 10,000 km with 70% highway and 30% city usage. I currently own Tata Altroz Turbo Petrol Manual. I’m looking for a meaningful upgrade from the Altroz, particularly in terms of highway comfort, automatic transmission, ride quality, ground clearance and overall ownership experience. Please suggest the best options within my budget and explain the key trade-offs between them.

With a Rs. 13 lakh on-road budget, automatic transmission, good ground clearance and 70% highway usage, the Mahindra XUV 3XO petrol automatic is the best fit. It offers a proper torque converter automatic, strong highway performance, good ground clearance and a comfortable ride, making it a meaningful upgrade over the Altroz Turbo Petrol. The wide cabin also makes it a comfortable five-seater for long journeys.The key trade-off is the boot space, which is one of the smallest in the segment. If luggage capacity is a priority, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza automatic is the better alternative. It offers a reliable ownership experience, good ground clearance and a comfortable ride, but the engine is less powerful and the overall driving experience is not as engaging as the 3XO.Overall, the 3XO strikes the best balance between highway comfort, performance, ground clearance and value within your budget. If boot space is a deal-breaker, go for the Brezza instead.

Hello, I currently own a 2016 Maruti Suzuki Baleno and am planning to buy an SUV-type car. My annual running is around 8,000-10,000 km, mostly on highways. My budget is up to Rs 15 lakh, although I can increase it if there is a significantly better option available. I can also wait for a few months if more suitable options are expected. I would preferably like to buy from traditional Indian car manufacturers. Which SUV would you recommend?

•2h

With 8,000-10,000 km a year and mostly highway driving, a diesel SUV makes the most sense. The Mahindra XUV 3XO diesel is the best fit here. It is a genuinely good highway car with strong performance, good stability and a comfortable ride. The diesel engine is fairly efficient and well suited to long-distance driving, and Mahindra’s service reach is strong. The 3XO is also one of the most spacious compact SUVs, with a wide rear seat that makes it a comfortable five-seater.If you are willing to stretch your budget, the Kia Seltos diesel is worth considering. It is a larger SUV with a more premium cabin and better long-distance comfort. It is the better car overall, but it comes at a slightly higher price.

I am getting the Venue HX8 Turbo automatic for Rs. 15.40 lakh on-road, the Creta SX(O) automatic for Rs. 18.14 lakh on-road, with a discount of more than Rs. 1 lakh, and the Seltos HTK(O) IVT for Rs. 18.50 lakh on-road. My budget is Rs. 19 lakh. Which one should I buy for driving in Bangalore and occasional trips?

•6d

Go for the Kia Seltos HTK (O) IVT at Rs 18.14 lakh on-road. Your budget of Rs 19 lakh gives you enough room to get a large, spacious and well-equipped midsize SUV, and the Seltos is the sweet spot. The IVT gearbox is smooth and well-suited to Bangalore traffic, while the 1.5 petrol is refined and reliable. The HTK (O) trim is feature-rich, so you are not compromising on equipment. The Seltos also offers better rear seat space and comfort than the others, making it a better choice for occasional family trips. The Creta SX (O) might sound like better value with a few more features, but the Seltos's larger size, better quality and new-age tech push it ahead overall. The Venue HX8 turbo automatic at Rs 15.4 lakh is a good deal, but it is a segment below, and you would be compromising on space and comfort.

I am a driving enthusiast and am looking to buy my first car. I am confused between the Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI MT Signature and the Volkswagen Taigun 1.0 TSI MT Highline Plus. Which one should I choose?

•6d

Both the Kushaq and Taigun are mechanically identical and offer the same 1.0 TSI engine paired with a manual gearbox, so the driving experience is essentially the same. The two are also similar in price, and the main features offered are the same too. Thus, base your decision on your personal preference in terms of the styling - outside and inside - and on the deal that you are getting from the respective dealerships. Also look into the dealer reputation in your area and factor this into your purchase decision too. From a driving pleasure point of view, the two cars are essentially the same. If you are looking for an alternative, consider the Renault Duster, which also offers an entertaining driving experience.

Hello, given the DPF concerns and upcoming CAFE III regulations, with my driving pattern being 60% highway and 40% city and covering around 15,000 km annually, would a 1.5L diesel (automatic or manual) still be a worthwhile choice?

•4d

Yes, a 1.5-litre diesel is still a worthwhile choice for your usage. At 15,000 km a year with 60% highway driving, you are well within the sweet spot for diesel ownership. The DPF concerns are often overstated - modern diesels are designed to regenerate the filter during sustained highway runs, and your usage pattern is ideal for that. CAFE III regulations are pushing manufacturers towards cleaner engines, but they are not making diesels obsolete; they are simply making them more efficient and cleaner. The bigger question is whether diesel still makes financial sense. With the narrowing price gap between petrol and diesel, the payback period is longer than it used to be, but at your mileage and highway bias, it still adds up. If you are keeping the car for 5-7 years, you will see the benefit. As for automatic versus manual, go automatic if you want ease of use in city traffic; modern torque converter automatics on diesels are smooth and reliable in cars like the Kia Seltos and the Hyundai Creta. Overall, diesel is still the right choice for your usage.
