I’m planning to buy a third car but torn between the Mercedes GLA (luxury) and the Škoda Kodiaq (premium and larger). I already have a Honda City 5th Gen and a Toyota Hycross Hybrid. Which one makes more sense to buy?

A Skoda Kodiaq is better equipped, more spacious, and it is more powerful than the Mercedes GLA petrol. A Volkswagen Tiguan R Line is also something you can consider, which is a bit sportier to drive than the Kodiaq, and now with huge discounts, is a tempting option.

Hi! I currently own a BMW M340i, which is 2 years old. I am considering buying an EV for daily and local commuting. I am looking for good design, a great music system and good battery life. Mahindra is already ruled out, as one of my cousins owns one. So I am considering either BYD or MG. If you could suggest any other ICE cars, that would be fine too. My budget is around Rs 30-40 lakh.

If you are looking for a good EV, the BYD Seal is a great option. It is one of the best electric cars in the Rs. 40 lakh range, offering a lot of tech, equipment, and a spacious interior. Performance, too, is very good, which, being a BMW 340i owner, you will appreciate.The MG ZS EV is a good car, but it's not in the league of the BYD Seal. If the Seal is beyond your budget, the BYD Atto 3, priced between Rs. 27 and 37 lakh, is the next best option. It is not as spacious as the BYD, but it is well-equipped and has a good range.Sadly, there are not many good ICE vehicles in that price bracket anymore, but the best option for your money is the Skoda Kodiaq, which ranges from Rs. 47-56 lakh.

I’m looking to buy a car within a budget of ₹15-16 lakh. My daily commute is around 100-150 km, mostly on highways, along with occasional long drives with my family. Safety is a top priority for me, along with reliable after-sales service for hassle-free ownership and a decent set of features. Could you please suggest suitable options?

The Maruti Suzuki Victoris would be a good option for you. The car is safe with many standard features like 6 airbags and traction control, and it has secured a 5-star crash rating in both the GNCAP and BNCAP tests. The car is also well equipped, and Maruti Suzuki is well known for its hassle-free ownership, so it would deliver on all your requirements. The only point being your daily running is quite high, and thus a diesel could suit you better. If you are open to this, the Hyundai Creta would be a good option, though you would have a lower GNCAP rating of 3 stars and would have to opt for a lower-specced variant within your budget.
