I am looking for a 5-seater car in a budget of around ₹20-22 lakhs. I am currently driving an Ertiga and want something more powerful with decent features.

We would suggest you shortlist the new Kia Seltos and Tata Sierra. Both of which are spacious, comfortable, feature-packed, and will fall within your budget. Both these will feel like a big upgrade over your outgoing car, and are thoroughly modern in terms of design and tech.

I want to buy an SUV with an automatic transmission, and I am unable to choose between the Grand Vitara Zeta and the Seltos. My budget is ₹15-16 lakh. I need only the basic required features and prefer low maintenance. My average usage is about 4,000-5,000 km per year. Please suggest a suitable car.

Considering your priorities are low maintenance, and you don't have a need for high-tech features, then the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is the better choice for you. Do note, however, that with the automatic gearbox, the Grand Vitara Zeta costs closer to Rs 18 lakh on road; in your budget, you will have to choose the lower Delta AT variant. The Kia Seltos HTE (O) IVT is available in your budget too, and for that price, you get a larger, more spacious SUV with higher-quality interiors. It evenly matches the Grand Vitara Delta AT on basic features, though each has a few advantages over the other. And while the Seltos is smoother and more powerful, the Grand Vitara has much better mileage. Overall, considering what you are looking for, the Maruti seems like the better pick.

I am trying to shortlist a suitable car. In the past, our family has owned a Scorpio and a Skoda Fabia Diesel. We are currently using a Toyota Glanza as a stopgap. We do about 1,000 km monthly, and occasionally there might be a trip to Delhi or Patiala (Dugri). On interstate trips, we will use a driver. We are a family of four and are looking for a good 5-seater, because most cars feel like 4-seaters unless the fifth seat is usable. We had finalised the diesel Creta or Innova Crysta, but uncertainty over diesel cars is confusing. Can we still go for diesel at present? Also, if we consider hybrids, the Hyryder and Grand Vitara feel like 4-seaters. Please advise.

Firstly, to clarify the uncertainty around diesel, it's lifting as far as bans and regulations go. Even in Delhi, with the most stringent GRAP 4 restrictions in place. A modern BS6 diesel is exempt, which points to a realisation that modern diesels are clean and are not being targeted by the authorities. The Toyota Innova Crysta is your best choice from a space point of view, and gives you the option of a third row of seats as well. However, Innova Crysta is mainly aimed at the fleet segment and comes only with a manual transmission and a very functional interior that feels a bit downmarket. If you find the Hyundai Creta diesel comfortable, you can go for that as it has a wider rear than the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder hybrids. Also, the hybrid battery eats into boot space, so for your interstate trips, you may not have enough space for your luggage. Another good option is the Kia Seltos diesel, which has the most spacious back seat of all
