I sold my swift . And now looking for family car (4 person) . I am a police officer, posting in different terrains ( mountain, plains) uttrakhand, office work via highway. Want a diesel engine car on the budget of 10 -12 lac .

The car you can consider is the Mahindra XUV 3XO. Its diesel powertrain is one of the smoothest and most refined in the segment, performs well, offers a plush low speed ride, and feels planted at higher speeds. It has also secured a 5 star crash test rating.The MX3 variant should fit within your budget. While it isn’t the most feature rich trim, it does get a decent level of equipment and doesn’t feel bare bones.

The DCA or twin clutch automatic is a much better choice than the AMT if your budget allows for it in the Tata Nexon. In fact, the only real reason to opt for the Nexon AMT is its significantly lower cost and a marginal improvement in fuel efficiency.Otherwise, the DCA is superior in every respect, including smoothness, responsiveness and shift quality. That’s why it is worth spending the extra ₹1 lakh or so over the AMT and choosing the Nexon DCA, as it is far more pleasant to drive.

You haven’t mentioned your budget, but since you are upgrading from a Vento, we assume you would be comfortable moving to a mid size SUV. If you are looking for a fully loaded model with plenty of features, the Tata Sierra is worth considering. The top variants get a fantastic audio system and segment first features such as a powered tailgate.It is very comfortable, offers ample space, and the ride quality will feel like a big step up from your Vento. The 1.5 litre turbo petrol engine also makes it a good companion for both city use and family highway trips.

If you want to replace your XUV700 with something that offers similar power, performance and space, your best option is the XUV 7XO, which is the XUV700’s replacement.The shape and cabin space are largely unchanged, but you get several new features such as a 540 degree camera, rear ventilated seats, 6 way power adjustment for the co driver’s seat, and an edge to edge digital dashboard with a third screen. The biggest improvement is the suspension, and the 7XO rides noticeably better than your XUV700, especially on uneven roads.For your Rs 25 lakh budget, we can’t think of a better option than the XUV 7XO.
