I am confused between the Tata Sierra Accomplished Petrol AT and the Tata Harrier EV Fearless+ 65; can you analyze which will be more practical to buy in terms of buying cost as well as running cost, given that my use is mostly within Bangalore city and I travel out of town only once or twice a year?

Asked by: sudip

If you’re choosing between the two, the Tata Sierra comes across as the better overall package. 

It’s built at Tata’s newest facility, and that shows - the quality, fit, and finish are a big step up from anything the brand has done before. The cabin feels nicely put together, and the petrol motor is smooth yet punchy. Moreover, the car strikes an outstanding balance between ride comfort and handling.

The Tata Harrier, on the other hand, is larger and offers a bit more space inside. But the Sierra still has more than enough room for daily city runs. Also, it’s a little smaller, and it’s actually easier to manage on Bengaluru’s packed roads and tight parking spots.

I have been using a Nexon EV for the past three years and would now like to upgrade to another EV. What would be an ideal replacement below ₹50 lakh? We are a family of three, the car will be self-driven, and I prefer something compact.

Check out the Volvo EX30 - it's a compact crossover with a high-tech, luxurious interior and loads of features with a focus on safety. It comes with a large 65kWh battery with a WLTP range of 480km and strong performance from its 272hp single motor setup. Its quirky design is very EV forward and will stand out on the road for looking like nothing else on the market.The only consideration you have to make is that, being a compact electric car, it's not super spacious in the rear seat. There are other great EVs at this price, but none of them are compact - like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and BYD Seal.

I have a Kia Syros diesel manual and am planning to buy a second car with a budget of ₹12 lakh. Please suggest a car that offers good handling, is easy to drive, and is compact in size.

Check out the Citroen C3 X, which is one of the most dynamically sorted cars at its price, and quite underrated too. Typical of French cars, the suspension setup is superbly tuned for a mix of exceptional comfort and sharp handling, and it also features a communicative steering system for a car in this class. Combine that with a punchy and smooth 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, and you have a car that's a lot of fun to drive.With the recent C3 X update, it now gets the features it was missing previously, but you can still get a fully-loaded model - with a smooth 6-speed AT gearbox, if you like - in your budget of Rs 12 lakh.You could also consider the Skoda Kylaq, which is a bit more spacious, but in your budget, you will only get a mid-spec model.

I am looking to purchase a new car under 20-22 lacs within another 3 months. Actually, I'm a car enthusiast and love performance cars. I would be travelling within city everyday and out of the state once every 1-2 months. So, please suggest me accordingly.

The 1.5TSI versions of the Skoda Kushaq, Skoda Slavia, Volkswagen Taigun and Volkswagen Virtus, will certainly bring a smile to your face with their performance as well as dynamic prowess.All these feel similar from behind the wheel, so pick the body style you prefer - sedan or SUV. Out of these, the Kushaq is likely to get updated in the coming weeks, so you may want to check that out before making your decision.On the other hand, if you want a car that looks sporty, drives well, and has features like ADAS, you could also consider a Hyundai Creta N Line and Verna.

I have a 2011 Karizma ZMR that I love for its trouble-free and reliable performance, and I’ve ridden it across South India making great memories. Now I want to buy a new bike because this one has aged, though it is still in good shape. I want a large, reliable bike similar to the Karizma. I like Japanese bikes and also Honda 350, and I find the Triumph appealing. My budget is ₹3-3.5 lakh on road in Bangalore. Please recommend suitable bikes.

The Honda CB350 models you are looking at are comfortable, reliable and decently fuel-efficient bikes which will last you a long time without any major troubles, by and large. Pick the one you like the look of the most or the one that's the most affordable, depending on your preference, because all three are largely mechanically very similar. The Triumph Speed 400 is also a great bike, but it has a much higher performance ceiling and will feel like a step up in terms of performance and handling. If that is the sort of experience you are after, it makes sense to go with the Triumph.A test ride of both will help you figure out which is better for you.
