I currently own a Brezza LXi 2022 model and am looking for an EV upgrade under the company car lease program. I am confused about which variant I should go for. My monthly driving is approximately 1,200 km, and I also go on road trips with my family, so I am considering range as well. Should I go for the Nexon Fearless 45, Curvv Accomplished X55, or e Vitara Zeta? I am planning to buy out the car after the lease tenure and keep it for the next 8-10 years. Which would be the best overall value?

Of the three, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Zeta makes sense. The two Tata EVs are strong value propositions, with the Nexon being a good city car. For you, however, the e Vitara offers a good range, and Maruti's extensive and reliable service network can come in handy on your long family trips. Over your 8-10 year ownership period, it is also likely to be more reliable and give you a more predictable ownership experience. However, a point to note is that the rear is not very spacious and the boot is very small, so your family may not be very comfy at the rear over long distances, and the boot may not suffice for your family's luggage. If you can stretch your budget, you can opt for the Creta electric, which has a more comfortable rear seat experience and a larger boot too. It will also be very reliable and is nice to drive, with a well-tuned powertrain and easy and handy controls like a paddle shifter for regen control. However, with the base variant you will have a smaller battery, so depending on your long route, it might mean an additional charging stop. All in it is a much better all-rounder than the three you have mentioned, but the only point of concern is that you would have to pay more.

My previous car was a 2017 Toyota Etios Liva VX Dual Tone, which had covered about 75,000 km. We’ve sold it and are now planning to buy an EV. I’m leaning towards the Tata Nexon EV Creative 45 kWh variant. Is it a good choice, given reports that a new-generation Nexon could launch next year?

•3m

There is a new generation Nexon due; however, there isn't a firm timeline known so far. If you can wait, we would suggest waiting until the Bharat Mobility (Auto Expo), which is due to be held in early February. The plans for the new Nexon might be made clearer by then, and if not, you would have a few more electric options to choose from. Hyundai, for instance, will showcase its small EV called the Ioniq P. If you must have an EV right away, then yes, the Nexon is a good choice, but you can also consider the Kia Syros EV; it would be a bit more expensive but would offer you more space and a better-tuned powertrain.

I’m considering buying the Tata EV Accomplished, but I’m quite confused after coming across several negative reviews about the car and Tata’s after-sales service. While I’m interested in buying it, these concerns have made me hesitant. Would you recommend going ahead with the purchase or considering other options? What should I keep in mind before making a decision?

Yes, Tata Motors is not the last word in reliability or service quality. Having said that there have been many improvements to the products and many issues have been sorted out. Dealer improvements are also being made and in many cities there are new format dealerships being opened which have received some encouraging feedback. If you are confident about the dealer in your area, then that would be one less worry for you. However, if you are still worried about reliability and service quality, we would recommend you look to the Kia Syros EV or the Hyundai Creta Electric, as both cars will meet your requirements of reliability and service quality. Furthermore, they have well-sorted powertrains that are easy to drive and refined too.

Hello. We currently own a Renault Fluence 1.5 dCi and a Hyundai i10 Automatic. We are now looking to replace the i10 with another compact car, and I am confused between the Skoda Kylaq, Citroen C3 and Hyundai i20 IVT. Before the Fluence, we owned a Fiat Palio Diesel 1.9. The new car will primarily be used for city driving.

•5h

For primarily city use, the Hyundai i20 IVT is the best fit. Its 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine is smooth and refined, offering good drivability in the city. The IVT automatic is also seamless and makes everyday city driving very convenient.It will also be more fuel-efficient than the turbo-petrol Skoda Kylaq and Citroen C3. The Kylaq is worth considering if you do more highway driving or need the added ground clearance.Overall, the i20 is a good upgrade over your i10 and makes for a great city runabout.

I am planning to buy the top-end Hyundai Creta Turbo Petrol DCT variant. My daily running is around 50–100km, which adds up to approximately 25,000–30,000km annually. I am looking for a car that offers strong performance and quick acceleration, along with a comprehensive set of comfort and convenience features. Should I buy the current Creta Turbo Petrol DCT top variant or wait for the 2027 Creta? For context, I currently own a 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire Hybrid and a Volkswagen Virtus GT 1.5 TSI.

The 2027 Hyundai New Creta will be thoroughly updated inside-out, and it'll have more tech and features. If you don't mind waiting, it makes sense to get the 2027 new-gen model. Do note, its powertrain options are likely to be carried forward from the current version. If you can't wait, but still want the performance as well as the latest in terms of tech and features, consider the Kia Seltos turbo-dct instead, which packs in more or less everything the next-gen Creta is likely to offer.

Which SUV would you pick for a family of 5?

I’m planning to buy a new car, and my annual running is around 40,000km, primarily involving highway drives and ghat sections. I have shortlisted the Kia Seltos Diesel HTX and the upcoming facelifted Toyota Innova Hycross ZX. I’m considering two approaches: either buy the Innova Hycross and keep it for the next 10 years, given its reputation for longevity and the expectation that its engine can last at least 4 lakh kilometres, or buy the Seltos, drive it for around 2 lakh kilometres over 4–5 years, sell it and upgrade to a brand-new Seltos or another car of a similar price and size. On paper, the Innova Hycross Hybrid seems like the better choice, considering its long-term reliability and features such as the Ottoman reclining seats. However, I’m concerned that I might get bored of it after four years or that it may start feeling outdated as newer technologies and features enter the market. This makes the second option appealing, as it would allow me to upgrade to a brand-new car every 4–5 years. Which approach would make more sense in the long run, considering my high annual running and ownership costs?

It seems like you're leaning towards the Kia Seltos Diesel HTX, and we think it is a good choice. The diesel engine feels adequately powered for highway usage and ghat driving, and it is likely to return respectable efficiency too. Moreover, despite being modern with all the latest tech and features, the Seltos will be substantially more affordable than the Toyota Innova Hycross hybrid. So unless you need the Innova's extra space, or you frequently travel with six or seven passengers, the Kia Seltos diesel is your best bet.
