    I have been riding Royal Enfield motorcycles for years. First, I owned a Bullet Electra (2023), and then a Himalayan 411 (2020), which has crossed 45,000+ km. Lately, the Himalayan has started showing electrical issues and E20-petrol-related problems, and it has become difficult to depend on it for my daily rides. I travel at least 50km every day and occasionally do 100+ km suburban rides on weekends, so I urgently need a reliable, low-maintenance and practical motorcycle. An upright posture is a must. My budget is ₹2 lakh.

    Since you have had a lot of experience with Royal Enfield bikes, we would steer you toward the Hunter 350. With its lightweight, upright and neutral ergonomics and decent fuel efficiency, it will be a wonderful companion inside the city.
    If you want to look elsewhere, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 / N250, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Honda Unicorn will also serve you well and will return considerably more fuel economy if that's important to you.

    Asked by: Sukhvinder Singh I want to buy a 7-seater for my family with a 70:30 highway-to-city usage pattern and an annual running of around 10,000 to 12,000km. I am considering the Invicto Zeta Plus with year-end discounts, the HyCross GX, and the XEV 9S. My buying motivators are Comfort, build-to-last quality and low maintenance, as I will be keeping it for a long time. Which one should I choose? Since the majority of your driving is on the highway, we would rule out the Mahindra XEV 9S, as public charging infrastructure is not yet fully developed on the highway. The Maruti Suzuki Invicto and Toyota Innova HyCross are fundamentally the same cars, which are both very spacious and comfortable.Besides, they are very reliable too and promise to give you a hassle-free ownership experience throughout their lifecycle with you. The non-hybrid 1.5 petrol variants aren’t very powerful for highway use, but they do the job as a relaxed commuter. Between the Invicto and the HyCross, we would choose the HyCross as it has better resale value, thanks to the lure of the Toyota badge.

    Asked by: Ankit Sagwekar I am looking to buy a second-hand car within a budget of Rs 3 lakh. My usage is very low and limited to short family trips on weekends. We are a family of four. What should I buy? For your budget of 3 lakh, the previous-generation Hyundai Grand i10 would be a good all-rounder. The car has enough space, decent performance and is well equipped too with some nice-to-have features like a rear camera, automatic climate control, and steering-mounted audio controls.

    Asked by: Sankar I currently use a 2016 Hyundai Grand i10 and have completed around 1,05,000km. I now want to buy a 7-seater EV at an affordable price. Please suggest the best option for me. Sadly, there are very few options for 7-seat EVs. The most affordable option is the Kia Carens Clavis EV, which starts at Rs 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom). While it is on the pricier side, the Carens Clavis EV is an excellent electric car. It's smooth and powerful, and scores really well with comfy enough seating for up to 7 passengers.Carens Clavis aside, the new Mahindra XEV 9S is another option if you are looking for a 7-seat EV. Prices start at Rs 19.95 lakh.

    Asked by: Mazda I currently have two cars Hyundai Accent and Kia Carens Clavis DCT,now I want to upgrade my Accent to buy Verna Turbo Dct I am currently confused between Verna Turbo Dct,Venue Turbo Dct and Creta Turbo Dct , Kindly suggest me from above my running is nearly 1200 km on Highway and I like the design of the Verna kindly suggest me from the above cars listed which one should I Buy If you like the Hyundai Verna, go for it. It has a larger 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (compared to the Venue's 1.0-litre unit), which it shares with your Kia Carens Clavis, and as you're aware, it delivers smooth yet strong performance. Its seats are quite comfy, and its high-speed stability is quite good too, making it quite confidence-inspiring for your highway drives.Moreover, since sedans aren't in high demand, chances are you could get a good deal on the Verna DCT too.
