I currently own a 2025 Maruti Suzuki WagonR ZXi manual and am planning to move to my village, which is around 60 km from Vadodara. I need a 4WD vehicle, as I also want to do some off-roading. I am confused between the Force Gurkha and the Mahindra Thar 4x4. Which one would you recommend? I believe sales of the Gurkha have almost come to a standstill. Is Force Motors planning to launch an updated version of the Gurkha in the near future?

•1d

Go for the Mahindra Thar 4x4. The Thar is the better all-round choice for your needs. It is a genuinely capable off-roader, but it is also far more practical and comfortable to live with on a daily basis. The updated suspension on the Thar OG makes it more comfortable, while the move to electric power steering has also enhanced ease of use. The Thar also has a much stronger ownership ecosystem, better service reach and far greater long-term support. The Force Gurkha is a hardcore off-roader but feels cruder in just about every way. Also, the Gurkha is a niche product with limited sales, and will not get you the same aftersales support. Force Motors has not officially announced any major Gurkha update in the near future. Given your 60km commute and the need for a reliable 4x4 that can handle both village roads and off-road trails, the Thar OG strikes the right balance between capability and everyday usability.

Two days back, you guys had suggested me Kylaq Sportline AT. I was checking Slavia Classic+ AT and it is almost the same price. It has all the basic features that I need including infotainment and rear view camera that I can get installed either from outside or from the showroom itself. Is it a good idea?

•1d

Yes, the Skoda Slavia Classic+ AT is a very sensible alternative to the Kylaq Sportline AT. The Slavia offers a more spacious rear seat and a larger boot, making it a better choice if rear passenger comfort and practicality are priorities. The Kylaq, on the other hand, offers a higher driving position which some buyers prefer.What we aren't entirely comfortable with is an aftermarket infotainment system and rear view camera. While these feature add ons will enhance your experience with the car, improper fitment can be very frustrating. Further, aftermarket installations might void your warranty too. It's best to discuss terms with your dealer and opt for dealer fit accessories.

Hi Autocar team, I currently own a 2023 Tata Harrier and a 2011 Maruti Suzuki Alto. I use the Alto for my daily commute and the Harrier for long highway trips. I now want to replace the Alto with an EV for everyday use. I like the comfort and pricing of the MG Windsor Essence, but I am confused between the Windsor and the Tata Curvv EV. Which would you recommend?

•1d

Go for the MG Windsor Essence. It is a better fit for your requirements, particularly for daily commuting. The Windsor has a spacious cabin, a wide rear seat and a more premium feel. The Curvv EV is a good product, but its cabin does not offer the same level of space and comfort.The Windsor also has a larger battery and a longer claimed range, giving you more flexibility for occasional longer drives. MG's EV ownership experience has also been positive, and the Windsor feels like a well-rounded product. Its main drawback is that MG's service network is not as extensive as Tata's, although this may be less of a concern if you primarily use it in the city.Overall, the Windsor Essence is the more spacious and comfortable option for your daily commute.

Please advise which car would be the best choice for long-term ownership: the Mahindra Scorpio, Tata Safari, Tata Harrier, Jeep Compass, Volkswagen SUV, or any other suitable option. My priority is reliability, long-term durability, and hassle-free ownership over the next 10 years or more. I would appreciate suggestions based on real-world ownership experience, maintenance costs, spare parts availability, and after-sales support.

For long-term ownership, the Mahindra Scorpio N is the safest recommendation from your shortlist. It has a proven track record, robust mechanicals and a strong service network, making it a dependable choice for 5-10 years of ownership. The Tata Harrier and Tata Safari have improved significantly, but the Scorpio N still has the edge on long-term reliability and ownership confidence. The Jeep Compass is a good product, but it is now an ageing model and does not offer the same value proposition as the Scorpio N. If you are open to alternatives, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is worth considering. It is a more modern product with a better balance of comfort, features and refinement, and it is a strong long-term ownership proposition as well. The Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq are excellent driver's cars, but they are smaller and do not offer the same level of space or road presence as the Scorpio N or XUV 7XO.

Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to buy a seven-seater car. I have test-driven the Renault Triber Turbo and Citroen Aircross X and was impressed by what both offer at their price points. However, the Aircross put a wide smile on my face. As a current Maruti Suzuki user, I did not consider the Ertiga because it feels similar to our Swift. I liked the Aircross X but am sceptical about Citroen's service network and spare parts availability. However, there are three Citroen showrooms within 45 km of my place. Please suggest which car I should choose. My budget: Rs. 15 lakh Current vehicle: Second-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift petrol (2017) Annual usage: Around 10,000 km, with a 50:30:20 split between town, highway and city driving Requirement: A seven-seater car

The Citroen's interiors feel more special, its engine is more powerful, and its ride-handling balance is outstanding; however, for seven adults, it won't be as comfortable as the Triber.In fact, the Triber's superb packaging makes it genuinely comfortable for passengers in all three rows, despite its compact sub-4-meter dimensions. The new turbo-petrol engine makes it an effortless performer, and its ride quality feels very mature too. Moreover, the Triber Turbo is also much more affordable in comparison, making it outstanding value for money. Yes, the Aircross X will appeal to your heart, but given Citroen's limited service network and cramped third row, the Triber Turbo is the more sensible choice.

I am planning to buy my first car. I want to have a 7-seater and need it for long term ownership. I liked the Citroen Aircross X design for 5+2. I am planning to choose a car with automatic transmission. I have couple of major concerns for which I would like your advice. First one is Mileage, I heard Aircross has a mileage issue and its real-world city mileage is 8 kpl while on highway it is 14 kpl. Is it the same for X version also? Second advice is for its service network. I have heard from the people that its service is slow. Regular servicing also takes around 2 days of time. I have a service center within 10 km from my home. My budget is Rs. 20 Lakh and I need an automatic transmission with rear and front parking camera or 360-degree camera since I am a new driver. Are there any 7-seater alternatives within this budget?

The Citroen Aircross X is a good-looking car, now with a premium interior. It is the only SUV in its category which offers a 5+2 seating configuration, and even though the third row is not particularly spacious, it works for occasional use. The real-world fuel efficiency figures as per our tests are 9.5kpl and 13.62kpl in city and highway conditions, respectively, which is quite decent given the strong and smooth performance this 1.2-turbo-petrol-AT delivers. What's more is that ride comfort is outstanding, perhaps the best among all midsize SUVs. So as far as comfort and practicality goes, the Aircross X is a good car.Citroen's service centre network is limited, but since you have a touchpoint close to your home, your vehicle's regular servicing and maintenance is likely to be taken care of smoothly. If you love the Aircross X for what it is, go for it - as far as value goes, it is an outstanding proposition. If you're looking for proper seven-seater alternatives, we'd strongly recommend the Kia Carens Clavis HTK+ turbo-petrol automatic version. All three rows are properly spacious, well-suited for adults. This variant will be within your Rs 20 lakh on-road budget, and it has front and rear parking sensors, as well as rear-view camera to make parking easy for you. Sure, it isn't an SUV, but it is a very sensible car, if you need a proper seven-seater.
