I currently own a Kia Seltos (2023) Petrol HTX IVT, which I drive 75-80 km daily, and a Maruti Ciaz (2019) Alpha AT, which I use for 30 km daily. I’m planning to sell the Ciaz, use the Seltos for the 30km commute, and buy a hybrid or EV for my 80 km daily office drive. Between the MG ZS EV, Mahindra BE6 Pack 1, and Toyota Hyryder Hybrid, which would be the better choice? My budget is around ₹20-22 lakh.

The best choice for your daily city commute would be an electric car because of its low running costs and smooth driving dynamics. The Mahindra BE 6e is a good option as it has radical looks, plenty of features, and a good range as well.
A strong hybrid like the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder would also be a good option, but if you have a set route and drive mostly within the city, the Mahindra car makes more sense.

Hi, I’m planning to buy my first car, which I won’t be driving regularly. My budget is under ₹14 lakh on-road. I’m looking for a fun-to-drive car and don’t need it to be family-focused. I’m open to both manual and automatic transmissions, whichever is more engaging to drive and fun.

The Skoda Kylaq will be the perfect choice for your requirements. It has a punchy 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and is available in both a manual gearbox and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.The Kylaq has compact dimensions and has a well-balanced chassis that makes the car great fun to drive. The handling is particularly impressive, and it has a good build too. The Prestige variant in manual guise will fit in your budget, while the Signature+ AT variant works if you prefer the automatic.

I’m looking to buy a motorcycle with strong low-end torque. Which would be better among the Goan Classic 350, CB350, Harley-Davidson X440 T, and Royal Enfield Scram 440? My usage will mostly be in the city, with rare long rides, and I’m not concerned about top speed.

For city use among the bikes you're looking at, the top two would be the Royal Enfield Scram 440 and Harley-Davidson X440 T. These bikes have large, long-stroke, single-cylinder engines, which will have the edge over the smaller 350s you're looking at. However, if most of your usage is inside the city, we'd recommend sticking with the 350cc roadsters from either Royal Enfield - Hunter/ Classic / Bullet - or Honda - in the form of its CB350 trio. These bikes will have more than enough grunt for city traffic and will also return more fuel economy. Take a test ride of these to see which one suits you best.
