I am confused between the Tata Sierra and Tata Nexon, and cannot decide between the two. I do not want the 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine of the Nexon, and I also do not prefer the big size of the Sierra. Can we expect the Nexon with a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine in the coming six months?

We have yet to drive the Tata Sierra, but on paper, it looks and feels fresh and new with its brand-new petrol engine. So if you are asking which car will be a better long-term purchase, then our answer would be the Sierra, as it is the newer product and will not age as quickly.
As for whether the Tata Nexon will get the 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine from the Sierra, that is highly unlikely, even when the next-generation Nexon arrives. It would lose the tax concessions offered to sub-4-metre cars with petrol engines under 1200cc, making it more expensive to position in its segment.

I have shortlisted the Innova HyCross Hybrid and the XEV 9S. Please advise which one I should buy. My usage is mostly city driving with occasional long trips.

The Toyota Innova HyCross is a good option for you. It is spacious, comfortable, and its strong hybrid powertrain will deliver an efficiency of around 13kpl in the city and 16kpl on the highway. Also, as a 7-seater, it is more comfortable, with ample space for adults in all three rows. Its ride quality is impressive in the city, and out on the highway too.The Mahindra XEV 9S is much better equipped in comparison, and on account of its pricing, it is a better value for money. But while the XEV 9S is comfortable in the city, its ride feels a bit bouncy on the highway, and space in the third row is much tighter than the Hycross. Hence, as a 7-seater, the Toyota car is the one to go for.
