I plan to buy an e-scooter after using the Access 125 and Activa for the past two decades. I’m considering the newly launched Kinetic Dx. Is it a good buy since there are no reviews available yet, or should I go with a tried and tested option?

Asked by: Darius Mehta

Considering that the Kinetic DX electric has just been launched and we haven't been able to test it for ourselves, going with the proven options like Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube or Ather Rizta, which are our picks in the class. Do take a test ride for yourself to see which one will suit you best.

Asked by: Manindra Mukherj I currently own a 2016 Ford Figo diesel manual with around 62,000 km on the odometer. My annual usage is about 8,000-10,000 km, mostly in bumper-to-bumper Mumbai traffic, with occasional highway trips two to three times a year. Given the traffic conditions, I am considering switching to an automatic. However, after test-driving a few petrol cars, I felt they lacked the torque and handling I am accustomed to in the Figo. Should I retain my current car for a few more years or upgrade to a new one? If upgrading, please suggest an SUV that offers strong performance with decent mileage. If you are happy with the Ford Figo and it is running fine, you could hold on to it, however it will get progressively difficult to maintain it. Thus, if you can change it might be a good idea to do so now. Consider the Maruti Suzuki Fronx / Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor. The car will feel similar in its fun-to-drive character to your Figo, and you could opt for either the turbo or the naturally aspirated engine. The 1.0 litre turbo will be more peppy and fun to drive but given that turbo's are very sensitive to driving style, you will likely see real world efficiency figures than quote. In this regard, the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine will be better, though at a lower performance level. Test drive the two and see which you prefer.

Asked by: Vamsi I am a regular Autocar follower and need your guidance in choosing my next motorcycle. The bike will be used mainly for city commuting, though not in heavy bumper to bumper traffic. I have previously owned an Activa and a Honda Unicorn. I am 36 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, and occasionally ride with a pillion and my children. I am not very focused on looks or features and am primarily looking for a comfortable, reliable motorcycle for long term ownership. Budget is not a constraint. If you are open to the idea of a larger, premium machine, then bikes like the TVS Ronin, Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Honda CB350 will be the options we recommend. If you want to instead go for a commuter bike, there are loads of great options in the 160cc space, such as the Honda Unicorn / SP160, Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Suzuki Gixxer. Take a test ride of all the bikes you shortlist with a pillion to see what suits you best.

Asked by: Dr shitol I have been using a Swift Dzire diesel for 20 years and am very happy with its performance. I drive about 40 km daily, mostly local. I want to buy a new car with a slightly larger boot (around 600 litres). My requirements are minimal, but essential daily-use features are a must. My budget is under ₹16 lakh on road. Please suggest suitable options. The Tata Sierra is an excellent option for you, keeping your big boot space requirements in mind. The Sierra boasts a boot up to 622 litres (up to the roof), which should serve your needs well. Moreover, it is a spacious car, and the Sierra Pure 1.5 Petrol MT variant that'll fit within your budget gets the basics like a touchscreen, electric mirror adjustment, keyless entry, rear AC vents, etc. Another option that you can consider for its expansive boot space is the MG Hector.

Asked by: Animesh Saha I want to buy an EV car with a budget of Rs 18-20 lakh. I live in Bardhaman, where only a Tata service centre is available and Kolkata is 100 km away. Please suggest the best EV options that suit my location and service constraints. Since there is only a Tata Motors service centre in your town of Bardhaman, you should go for a Tata Motors EV, and there are plenty of options. In your budget, the Tata Nexon EV is your best all-around option. It is a proven product and offers a good mix of space, comfort, features and range. Its electric motor is smooth and powerful, and comfort is excellent thanks to well-calibrated suspension. It should be a good EV option for you.
