I am looking to buy honda city SV. It comes with 15 inch tyres (185 60 r15). Can I upgrade the tyres with ZX variant tyres (185 55 r16) or 195 55 r16?

@autocar.india please reply. Let me know if something else is required.

My question basically is if the base variant of the car is exactly identical to the top variant and top variant tyres can be installed in base variant or not

Go for r17 for higher ground clearance. Since city has lower ground clearance. If not interested for r17 . Prefer 195 or 205 or 215 r16 . Wider the Tyre better the grip , handling , cornering , braking .

@teja.7 I mean warranty should continue and also there should be no negative impact on the car. My question basically was if the base variant of the car is exactly identical to top variant and top variant tyres can be installed in base variant

@robin1 top varient tyre can be installed any varient in city . Warrenty don't avoid. If you want extra ground clearance increase 1 or 2 inch size max or width of tyre if you want more grip. Wider the Tyre better grip and handling and braking and cornering.

Hi, I have booked the current Honda Elevate V CVT for Rs 15 lakh on-road. Is it a good deal? Should I wait for the new facelift? I have also seen reports of poor NVH in the Elevate. Is there any way to reduce road and tyre noise inside the current Elevate's cabin?

•2d

Yes, the Honda Elevate V CVT at Rs 15 lakh on-road is a good deal. The Elevate is a well-rounded SUV with Honda’s reputation for reliability, a smooth CVT and a comfortable ownership experience. The V variant is well-equipped, and the price you have secured is competitive.On the facelift, Honda will launch the updated Elevate on October 6th, but do not expect a major overhaul. It will likely be a mild update with some feature additions and minor cosmetic tweaks. The core mechanical package will remain unchanged. If you need the car now, there is no strong reason to wait.On NVH, the Elevate does let in more road and tyre noise than some rivals. You can reduce it to some extent with better tyres (look for softer compound, lower noise-rated tyres) and aftermarket damping on the doors and wheel wells. However, do not expect a dramatic transformation. It will help, but the Elevate is not the quietest car in the segment to begin with.Overall, if you like this Honda car and the deal, go ahead.

I am looking for a sub-4-metre car with a strong suspension, 17-inch or larger wheels and good petrol mileage. Please suggest a suitable car.

•1d

The Mahindra XUV 3XO is the best fit for your requirements. It is one of the few sub-4 metre SUVs that comes with 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels in higher variants like the AX7 and AX7L. Also, the 3XO has a strong suspension setup that handles rough roads well. The 1.2 turbo petrol engine is also one of the most powerful in the segment, so you get good performance without compromising too much on fuel efficiency.If fuel efficiency is your absolute priority, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza is the better choice, but it comes with 16-inch wheels and a more comfort-oriented suspension setup. The XUV 3XO strikes the best balance between your requirements for wheel size, suspension strength and overall performance.

I currently drive a 2018 Hyundai Creta 1.6 petrol automatic, which is very comfortable. Its mileage is around 7-8 kpl, and my monthly running is 1,000-1,200 km. Please advise on a good vehicle with decent mileage and comfort. I look forward to your advice.

•2d

With 1,000-1,200 km a month and a 7-8 km/l Creta 1.6 petrol automatic, the priority should be better fuel efficiency without sacrificing comfort. The Maruti Suzuki Victoris Hybrid is the most sensible upgrade. It delivers significantly better real-world fuel economy, especially in city driving, while still offering a comfortable ride and a well-equipped cabin. The hybrid system is proven and reliable, and the ownership experience is straightforward.If you want a more premium feel and are willing to accept slightly lower fuel efficiency, the Kia Seltos petrol IVT is a strong alternative. It offers a more upmarket cabin and a comfortable ride, but it will not match the Victoris Hybrid on fuel savings.The Hyundai Creta petrol IVT is also worth considering if you want to stay within the Hyundai family. It offers a familiar ownership experience and a comfortable ride, but again, it will not be as efficient as the Victoris Hybrid.Overall, the Victoris Hybrid strikes the best balance between fuel efficiency, comfort and long-term ownership costs for your usage pattern.

I am confused between Creta SX IVT and Elevate CVT for 8000 km of annual running with long trips of 1200 km 3-4 times in a year for a family of 4. Apart from this, day to day usage is less than 100km per month. I am looking for a car for long term ownership and travel comfort.

The Creta SX IVT is the better fit for your requirement. It offers a quieter, more refined cabin, comfortable rear seats and a smoother CVT, which are particularly valuable when spending several hours on the highway with four people and luggage. Autocar's long term experience with the Creta petrol IVT also found it refined, comfortable and particularly well suited to road trips.The Honda Elevate CVT has advantages of its own. Its 220mm ground clearance, long travel suspension and large 458-litre boot make it particularly good on poor roads, while its naturally aspirated 1.5-litre engine and CVT make for a relatively simple powertrain. However, the cabin is noticeably noisier, particularly when accelerating hard, and the CVT can produce the typical rubber band effect.

Hi Autocar Team, I am confused between the XUV 7XO AX7T diesel manual and automatic. My current ride is a Fluidic Verna diesel manual, which is nearing 15 years of ownership and has clocked nearly 2.5 lakh km. My usage consists of mixed city and highway driving, with around 40km daily and weekend highway runs of about 400km. For long-term ownership, which would be the better choice: the manual or automatic?

•3d

Go for the XUV 7XO AX7T diesel automatic. The diesel engine is well suited to your high running, and the automatic gearbox is a proven torque converter unit that is reliable and well matched to the engine. This Mahindra car will make your daily city driving far less tiring, while still being smooth and efficient on the highway. Coming from a 15-year-old Hyundai Verna diesel manual, the automatic will feel like a significant upgrade in terms of comfort and ease of use, without compromising on long-term reliability. The manual is still a good option if you strongly prefer the engagement, but for your usage and ownership horizon, the automatic is the smarter choice.

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?

•6d

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.
