These days, cars are built to be very reliable irrespective of the powertrain and reliability also varies from manufacturer to model wise too. Speaking generally, a modern diesel engine is very reliable, however its long term future is uncertain with all the negativity around the fuel and its environmental impact. EVs are also reliable given that there are far fewer moving parts, battery life too is long and most brands now offer warranties in excess of 7 years to even lifetime (15 years) warranty.

However in the long run an EVs resale value is yet unknown. Thus looking at reliability, and a long term service life a petrol is a safe bet. The engine is reliable and easy to service with much less complexity than a hybrid.

Hi, I am planning to buy a new Kia Seltos IVT petrol model. Can you please tell me what the mileage will be in the city and on the highway? Also, if there is any good automatic car with better mileage, please suggest one. My budget is approximately ₹18 lakhs.

Considering your requirements, choose the Kia Seltos HTK(O) Petrol CVT.The Seltos' refined 115hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with the smooth and seamless CVT auto gearbox makes it well-suited to city as well as highway duties. Although Kia is yet to reveal official figures, in our real-world fuel efficiency tests, the Seltos IVT returned 10.31kpl in the city and 14.22kpl out on the highway.However, the one thing you give up is class‑leading fuel efficiency as some strong hybrids in the segment manage 20-26 kpl. So if mileage is paramount, go for the Maruti Suzuki Victoris strong hybrid, but you'll have to stretch your budget a bit.

My daily running is 170km on busy highways and around 4000km per month. Right now, I have an Elite i20 petrol with an aftermarket CNG kit, and I spend ₹600 daily. Now I want to upgrade my car to something over 4 metres. Kindly suggest a car with high mileage, good safety, and features. I have looked at the CNG variants of Grand Vitara, Hyryder, Victoris, and Brezza.

The Maruti Suzuki Victoris CNG is a solid choice for your needs. It is economical and suitable for longer trips, has underbody-mounted CNG tanks that do not hamper boot space, and the higher variants are very well equipped.While the Grand Vitara, Hyryder, Brezza and Victoris all use the same 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine with factory-fitted CNG, the Victoris is the only one with dual underbody-mounted tanks, which means it offers better boot space than the others. One drawback is that it does not come with a spare wheel as standard, which is instead offered as an accessory. The Victoris is also more feature-rich than other Maruti models. Compared to the Grand Vitara, it gets a larger touchscreen, a fully digital instrument cluster and Level 2 ADAS. It has also scored five stars in the Bharat NCAP crash tests.If you are on a budget, then consider the Tata Punch CNG, which uses dual tanks and has a more usable boot than the Brezza.On the test drive, drive at steady highway speeds and attempt an overtake to see if you are satisfied with the performance.

Toyota HyCross GX(O) vs Maruti Victoris ZXi(O) strong hybrid vs Tata Sierra Accomplished Plus turbo petrol. Which is best for long-term usage under ₹30 lakh?

For long-term usage, the Toyota Innova HyCross GX (O) and the Maruti Victoris ZXi (O) strong hybrid are safer bets than the Tata Sierra Accomplished+ Turbo Petrol. Both come with a solid reputation for reliability and strong after-sales support, which is what really matters over 8-10 years of ownership.Between the Toyota HyCross and the Victoris, the HyCross is the more comfortable and practical choice. Its very spacious cabin, better third-row usability and comfortable ride make it a nicer long-distance family car. The 2.0-litre petrol engine is simple and proven, and its relaxed highway manners are a big plus if you do a lot of intercity trips.The Maruti Suzuki Victoris strong hybrid scores on efficiency and smoothness thanks to its hybrid powertrain, which is especially nice in traffic and helps keep running costs low. However, the boot is smaller, and the cabin is the least spacious of the three, so it’s not as versatile for full-family use. If you mainly drive yourself with only occasional passengers, the Victoris, which is also the most compact and city-friendly of the lot, is the easiest to live with in daily urban driving.
