Tata has introduced a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine with the new Sierra. Will Tata replace their existing 3-cylinder petrol engines in the Punch, Altroz, and Nexon with this 4-cylinder NA petrol engine?

Asked by: Thakor
The Punch, Altroz and Nexon benefit from a lower tax slab since they fulfil two key requirements - their length is less than 4 meters, and their petrol engine capacity is less than 1200cc.
Even if one of the criteria is not fulfilled, these cars will fall under a higher tax bracket, resulting in a higher price. So, to answer your question, it is highly unlikely that the company will introduce Tata Sierra's 1.5L petrol in these compact cars.

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.
