My daily running is under 40kms and I travel to hills 2 3 times in an year. I am planning to buy an automatic car under 11 lakhs and have 2 cars in my mind which are Tata Nexon amt Pure Plus model and Kiger Techno Turbo CVT model. Which one should I go for?

Nexon has a solid build and good ride quality. It will be comfortable and stable in hilly areas for your trips.

Hi, I am planning to buy a sub-4-metre automatic SUV but am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi AT, Hyundai Venue HX5 DCT, Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX M (O)/Edge, Kia Sonet HTK (O) DCT and Tata Nexon Creative DCA. Which of these would offer the best value for money? Do the reliability and overheating issues associated with DCT/DCA gearboxes still persist? My priorities are good real-world fuel efficiency and a smooth, reliable automatic gearbox. Driver-seat visibility and the availability of a reverse camera are also important considerations. Which would you recommend based on these requirements?

Given that fuel economy and gearbox smoothness are priorities for you, we'd recommend you consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXI AT. Its 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and six-speed automatic gearbox combination work very well to give a smooth drive. While it's not particularly sporty or exciting, it makes up for it with a pleasant driving experience. The Brezza's elevated seating also gives you a good view of the road and the reverse camera quality is decent.Of the others, the Tata Nexon Creative DCA offers the smoothest gearbox. However fuel economy will not be at par with the Brezza. In fact, none of the other contenders on your shortlist, which use turbo-petrol engines, will be able to match the Brezza on real-world fuel economy.

MG Tomahawk EV or Mahindra XEV 9S Pack Two Above: which one should I choose? I’ve booked both, and I’m confused. My priorities are range, long-term ownership and driving experience. Please give me a clear recommendation.

Given that range and driving experience are your two biggest priorities, we would pick the Mahindra XEV 9S Pack Two Above 70kWh over the MG Hector Tomahawk EV.The Mahindra has a more powerful Rear Wheel Drive motor, delivering stronger performance and a more engaging driving experience. It also supports faster DC charging. In our real-world test, the larger 79kWh XEV 9S delivered an average range of 477.5km, against 446km for the MG. The MG did better in city driving, but the Mahindra had a significant advantage on the highway. The 70kWh XEV 9S has a claimed range of 600km, but its real-world range has not been established through the same test. Based on available estimates, expect around 430 - 450km.The MG is the more affordable option and offers a comfortable, spacious cabin, but the Mahindra is quicker and more engaging to drive

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.
