I’m considering the Kodiaq as an upgrade. Most of my driving is on good roads, so I’m wondering whether the extra ground clearance of an SUV actually makes a significant difference in everyday use.

If most of your driving is on good roads, the Skoda Kodiaq's extra ground clearance is not the main reason to buy it. The real reason to buy the Kodiaq is the overall package. It is a genuinely premium family SUV with a spacious and comfortable cabin, a strong turbo petrol engine and a well-balanced ride and handling setup. It feels solid and planted on the highway, offers a commanding driving position and is a very comfortable long-distance car. The third row is best suited to occasional use, but as a 5+2 family SUV, it works very well.

I do have a Kushaq 1L manual. A gem of a machine! Love that power, balance and driving dynamics! It's strictly for 4 adults.

When I bought my Honda CB Hornet 160R nearly ten years ago, I fell head over heels for its looks—especially that aggressive design and massive rear tire. I spent hours watching YouTube reviews from journalists praising its linear power delivery, and the moment I saw it in the flesh, I was hooked. I bought it on impulse without ever taking a proper test ride or looking at competing options. That decision turned out to be a ten-year headache. Instead of a dependable motorcycle, ownership has been a cycle of relentless unreliability. Every time one part is fixed, another—or the exact same one—starts crying for attention. To make matters worse, the firm suspension transmits every single pothole and undulation straight into my back. A decade on this bike has completely robbed me of the joy of riding, and I’ve finally given up on it. I am now looking for a complete reset. I need a motorcycle where exceptional, plush ride quality comes first, backed by rock-solid reliability and a smooth, effortless engine. I want a true engineering gem that will bring back the excitement of being on two wheels."

I don't think autocar justified this fundamentally important question. I think the user was more interested to know if she can consider alternatives like camry or CLA etc considering she drives on good roads. My honest opinion is that if you are confident about the road condition throughout your ownership tenure please go ahead with a sedan. I stay in south and my companion is honda city. During my 6 years with her I had only one major incident which broke the underbody protection and nothing more . It costed 5k btw.

Hi, I currently own a VW Vento petrol and am planning to buy a big SUV preferably Tucson or Tiguan. Unfortunately, both are unavailable and there is a dirth of cars in this segment. Hence, I am looking at 7-seater cars like VW Tayron, Skoda Kodiaq and Kia Sorento. I am inclined towards Tayron but my brain is into Sorento. My usage is daily city drive and involves 3 to 5 long trips. I am quite unsure and confused with the future of petrol in india and also the longterm ownership of a hybrid. Look forward to your suggestion and take on this. Thanks.

The VW Tayron and the Skoda Kodiaq would both be more fun to drive. However, the Kia Sorento would be the more sensible buy with a well specced car at an attractive price. It would come down to what you want more from your new car. As for the future of petrol and hybrids, both are safe buys and should give you years of trouble free running. The hybrid system in the Kia is a proven unit too. The fuel issue if any is with diesel cars in Delhi where those cars older than 10 years are legally considered end-of-life vehicles.

Guys, next-gen Creta spotted! The dashboard looks quite different from the current model. Are you interested?

I’m a first-time car buyer and I’m confused between the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Delta (Rs 12.7 lakh on-road), the Brezza VXi automatic (Rs 11.4 lakh) and the Brezza ZXi manual (Rs 11.5 lakh). I’m not sure how much of my driving will be in the city and how much on the highway. If I choose the automatic, I’ll miss out on many features that come with the Brezza ZXi and the Grand Vitara Delta. Is it okay to give up those features and choose the VXi automatic?

•1d

It is a tricky choice, but we would lean towards the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi automatic. In today's increasingly congested traffic conditions, the convenience of an automatic transmission is something you will appreciate every day. The additional features on the Brezza ZXi manual or Grand Vitara Delta may seem attractive initially, but over the years, the ease of driving an automatic is likely to matter more.The Brezza VXi AT is not poorly equipped either. It gets a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, six airbags, ESP and hill-hold assist. You will miss out on features such as cruise control, a rear parking camera and a sunroof, but some convenience features can be added later through accessories.

What are Mahindra’s plans for an ICE SUV positioned above the XUV 7XO? Specifically, does Mahindra plan to launch any ICE SUVs in the Rs 30-40 lakh bracket?

•2d

Mahindra has not yet confirmed an all-new ICE SUV positioned above the XUV 7XO in the Rs 30-40 lakh bracket. However, there are some interesting developments on its future product roadmap. The company has outlined plans for 10 new ICE models by 2031, including nine new nameplates, with several expected to use its upcoming NU_IQ platform. The Vision X and Vision SXT concepts are among the products to watch, although their final positioning and specifications are yet to be revealed. A more immediate development is the possibility of a strong-hybrid version of the XUV 7XO, which Mahindra is evaluating and could introduce around 2027. This would potentially sit above the current petrol and diesel variants, offering better fuel efficiency and a more sophisticated powertrain. Mahindra is also working on a coupe-styled hybrid SUV, internally codenamed W623, which could arrive around 2028, although its positioning is not yet clear.

I want to buy a compact SUV (petrol, automatic) under a budget of Rs. 12-13 lakh. Help me decide between Brezza, Venue, Kylaq, XUV 3XO and Amaze (since it is a compact Sedan) considering that the mileage within city should not be less than 13-14kpl.

•19h

Between your picks, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5-litre automatic is your best bet since city fuel efficiency is your main priority. The Hyundai Venue, Skoda Kylaq and Mahindra XUV 3XO all use turbo-petrol engines, which aren't particularly known for their fuel efficiency in the city. That said, achieving your target of 13-14kpl in city driving with any of these cars will require a very sedate driving style.The Brezza also comes with a smooth-shifting 6-speed torque converter automatic, which makes driving in the city very easy. One drawback is that, its interior won't feel as modern as the Hyundai Venue. The Honda Amaze is another good choice, but being a compact sedan, it won't feel as spacious as the Brezza.
