I am planning to buy the Maruti Suzuki Invicto. Is this a good option?

•12w

Yes, the Maruti Suzuki Invicto is a solid buy if you want a smooth and efficient family mover. The strong-hybrid powertrain shines in traffic, so you get a quiet, relaxed drive, and it is very fuel-efficient too. Space and comfort are its big strengths, especially the second row, and the light steering and good visibility make this big MPV easy to handle in town.

If you often do airport runs or weekend trips, it works well, but be aware of two things. With all three rows up, boot space is tight. Also, when fully loaded on highways, it feels calm rather than quick.

It is priced on the higher side for a Maruti, and you miss a few fancy features the Toyota Innova Hycross it is based on gets, but for stress-free city use and long-term running costs, it makes sense.

Is the Hycross facelift coming? There has been no official update, and I am getting confused about whether I should wait for the facelift or buy the current model now.

•3d

Yes, a facelifted version of the Toyota Innova Hycross is expected soon. Toyota has already started testing the updated model, and it is likely to arrive in the coming months. The update is expected to be a mild one, with minor cosmetic changes and a few feature additions, rather than a major overhaul of the car.If you are happy with the current Hycross and need the car soon, there is no strong reason to wait. The current model is already a very well-rounded MPV with a strong hybrid powertrain, excellent space and Toyota's proven reliability. However, if you are not in a hurry and would prefer to have the latest version, it makes sense to wait a little longer for the facelift.Ultimately, the decision comes down to your timeline. If you need the car now, go ahead and buy the current Hycross. If you can wait a few months, the facelifted version will give you a slightly fresher package.

My monthly running is around 1,200 km in the city, with an additional 1,000 km outstation trip every 2-3 months. My budget is around Rs. 35 lakh. Please suggest some good options. I am looking for a car that offers a good balance of comfort and fuel efficiency.

•3d

With a budget of around Rs 35 lakh and a monthly running of 1,200km in the city plus 1,000km outstation every 2-3 months, you need a car that balances comfort, efficiency and long-term reliability. The Toyota Innova HyCross Hybrid is the strongest recommendation here. It offers excellent ride comfort, a spacious and practical cabin, and the hybrid powertrain delivers impressive fuel efficiency in both city and highway conditions. Toyota’s reputation for reliability and low maintenance costs also makes it a sensible long-term ownership proposition.A Mahindra XUV 7XO would make a great alternative, but a diesel doesn't really suit your usage pattern and the petrol will be thirsty in the city. Overall, the HyCross Hybrid is the most balanced choice for your needs, combining comfort, efficiency and reliability.

Hi, good evening and greetings from Nagendra, I am in Mumbai and am planning to buy Honda City 1.5 litre but I am concerned due to speed breakers in Mumbai that are around 10 to 25 cm in height. This is especially the case in the Urban Mumbai. Please advice.

•30m

Good evening, Nagendra. The Honda City is a fantastic sedan and one of our default recommendations for buyers looking for a comfortable, reliable and refined family car. However, ground clearance is its only real weakness. The City has a ground clearance of 165mm, which is adequate for most speed breakers, but some of the larger, unscientific speed breakers in Mumbai can be a challenge, especially when the car is fully loaded.If your daily routes include particularly tall speed breakers or poorly designed humps, you will need to be careful with your approach angle and speed. The City can clear most speed breakers if you take them slowly and at an angle, but it is not as forgiving as an SUV or a crossover.If ground clearance is a major concern, you may want to consider the Honda Elevate instead. It offers a similar ownership experience, a higher seating position and significantly better ground clearance, making it much better suited to Mumbai's speed breakers. If you are set on a sedan, the Skoda Slavia and the VW Virtus do offer better ground clearance than the City.

I am getting the Venue HX8 Turbo automatic for Rs. 15.40 lakh on-road, the Creta SX(O) automatic for Rs. 18.14 lakh on-road, with a discount of more than Rs. 1 lakh, and the Seltos HTK(O) IVT for Rs. 18.50 lakh on-road. My budget is Rs. 19 lakh. Which one should I buy for driving in Bangalore and occasional trips?

•4d

Go for the Kia Seltos HTK (O) IVT at Rs 18.14 lakh on-road. Your budget of Rs 19 lakh gives you enough room to get a large, spacious and well-equipped midsize SUV, and the Seltos is the sweet spot. The IVT gearbox is smooth and well-suited to Bangalore traffic, while the 1.5 petrol is refined and reliable. The HTK (O) trim is feature-rich, so you are not compromising on equipment. The Seltos also offers better rear seat space and comfort than the others, making it a better choice for occasional family trips. The Creta SX (O) might sound like better value with a few more features, but the Seltos's larger size, better quality and new-age tech push it ahead overall. The Venue HX8 turbo automatic at Rs 15.4 lakh is a good deal, but it is a segment below, and you would be compromising on space and comfort.

I am looking to buy a car under Rs. 22 lakh. I want an automatic transmission, a diesel or turbo-petrol engine, and a feature-loaded, stylish interior.

•6d

Go for the Kia Seltos diesel automatic. It is the most balanced choice under Rs 22 lakh. The diesel engine is strong, efficient, and well suited to both city and highway driving, while the automatic gearbox is smooth and easy to live with. If your usage is limited and you are open to a turbo petrol, this Kia car also gets the 1.5-litre turbo petrol with a DCT. The Seltos also offers one of the most feature-rich and stylish interiors in the segment, with a premium feel that stands out. This diesel car is a genuinely well-rounded package that delivers performance, comfort and a strong ownership experience.The Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel automatic is also worth considering if you need more space and a stronger feature list, but it is a larger Mahindra car and not as easy to live with in the city.Overall, the Seltos diesel automatic strikes the best balance between performance, features, and long-term ownership satisfaction.

Suggest a car Requirements: Daily city driving in Bangalore, with lots of potholes. I am open to either an SUV or a sedan. My budget is Rs. 25-30 lakh on-road. ADAS, cruise control, and hill assist are must-have features. I want a car that offers a comfortable drive, feels luxurious, and is fun to drive. An automatic transmission is a must.

•2d

Go for the Kia Seltos 1.5 T-GDi DCT. It is the best fit for your requirements. The Seltos turbo is genuinely fun to drive, with strong performance and a well-sorted chassis that makes it enjoyable on both city roads and highways. The 1.5 T-GDi engine paired with the DCT automatic is a highlight, offering quick shifts and a responsive driving experience. At the same time, this Kia car is comfortable over broken roads and potholes, with a suspension setup that strikes a good balance between ride comfort and handling. It also feels premium inside, with a well-built cabin and a solid feature set that includes ADAS, cruise control and hill assist. The only thing to be aware of is that the DCT gearbox can feel a bit clunky in stop-and-go traffic, but overall it is a well-rounded package that delivers exactly what you are looking for. If you want something a bit larger, the Mahindra XUV 7XO turbo-petrol is a good alternative, but it will feel large and cumbersome in Bangalore city traffic, and its fuel economy is very poor.
