Will Scorpio Lifestyler change Indian pickup culture?? Probably the pickup segment will take a leap with its launch. It has already made a fan base.

I want to know about the future of EV Cars in India.

For ladies, which car is best for 35 km of daily running? EV, petrol, or CNG with automatic transmission? Please suggest which car to buy.

For a daily run of 35km, the decision between petrol, CNG and EV comes down to ownership priorities, irrespective of the driver's gender. A CNG car is the most cost-effective option, but it comes with compromises on boot space, convenience and refuelling time. A petrol car is the simplest and most hassle-free option, but running costs will be higher over time. An electric car makes the most sense if you have access to home charging, as it offers the lowest running costs and a smooth, quiet driving experience, but it is the most expensive to buy.If your budget is Rs 5-10 lakh, it rules out most EVs, and you will essentially have to choose between the MG Comet and the Tata Tiago EV. If you're okay with these options, the Tiago EV is the better all-rounder, offering more space, comfort, range and features, while the more affordable, ultra-compact Comet has the advantage of being easier to park. The Comet's small battery will require you to charge more often, even with a limited usage of 35km per day. EVs are smoother than petrol or CNG cars, and the running costs are the lowest, so if either of these two cars meets your needs, you should go down the EV route.

I want to buy a car with a torque-converter automatic transmission. My maximum budget is Rs 12 lakh, and I am a first-time car buyer. Please suggest some car models. I live in a rural area, and my office commute is around 40km daily.

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza automatic. It uses a 6-speed torque converter automatic, which is exactly what you are looking for, and it is one of the most reliable and easy-to-live-with cars in this price range. Your 40km daily commute and rural roads make reliability, comfort and low running costs far more important than outright performance or features, and the Brezza delivers on all three.Maruti’s service network is a big advantage in rural areas, and the car is known for its durability and low maintenance costs. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is smooth and efficient, and the torque converter automatic is well-suited to mixed driving conditions. This Maruti Suzuki car also has good ground clearance, which helps on rougher rural roads.If you want something a bit more premium and are willing to stretch your budget slightly, the Mahindra XUV 3XO automatic is also worth considering. It also uses a 6-speed torque converter automatic and offers a more powerful turbo petrol engine and a more feature-rich cabin. However, the Brezza remains the safer long-term ownership choice, especially for a first-time buyer in a rural area.

I have been using Honda City manual for the last 21 years. Now, I want a car with automatic transmission for city running mostly. My average running is around 1000km a month. Can you suggest whether I should buy Seltos, Creta, Kushaq or Elevate?

Given your usage of around 1,000 km a month, mostly in the city, the priority should be a smooth and reliable automatic transmission, good ride comfort and ease of ownership. The Kia Seltos IVT is the most natural recommendation here. The IVT gearbox is also very smooth, and the Seltos feels more premium and feature-rich than the competition. Alternatively, consider the Honda Elevate. The CVT is exceptionally smooth in stop-start traffic, Honda’s ownership experience is proven, and the car is simple, reliable and easy to live with.The Skoda Kushaq is the driver’s choice, with a more engaging driving experience, but in city running, that doesn't matter much. The Hyundai Creta is a good all-rounder, but it is due for a full model change in 2027, which makes the Seltos and Elevate stronger recommendations at this point.

I am a lady driver and drive around 65 km every day on the expressway. Twice a month, I also drive in the city and traffic. I am currently driving a Celerio, but it is 9 years old, so I am looking for a change. My budget is Rs. 10-12 lakh.

For your usage, the Skoda Kylaq is a good upgrade. Your 65 km daily expressway run means you need a car that is stable at speed and comfortable over long distances. The Kylaq delivers that very well. At your budget, you could get a lower-spec automatic, which would make it easy to drive in city traffic, which matters for your twice-a-month urban runs. The automatic gearbox is a torque converter, so its shifts are very smooth and it is very reliable too. The only possible downside is that fuel efficiency is not going to be very high, and given your high daily running, this is something that might bother you. If so, opt for the Maruti Suzuki Fronx 1.2L, which is also good at higher speeds and would be more fuel efficient. The auto box in this case is an AMT, which would not be as smooth, but this would only be a bit of a bother in city traffic and not on steady highway cruising.

Hey, We are planning to buy a sub-4-metre SUV, and our main requirement is good suspension for Bengaluru’s pothole-filled roads, especially as my wife is pregnant. We have shortlisted the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Tata Nexon. Which one would you recommend for our requirements? I was also considering a larger SUV like the Honda Elevate, but a well-equipped variant costs around Rs. 18 lakh on-road, which is beyond my budget. Could you suggest some good options in both categories? I can stretch my budget up to around Rs. 15 lakh on-road if required.

Given your priorities, the Mahindra XUV 3XO is the best fit. It has the most comfortable ride in the segment, with a suspension that deals with broken roads and potholes better than the Brezza or Nexon. The wide rear seat and good cabin space will also make a difference for your wife and family. The Brezza is the more reliable long-term ownership proposition, but its ride is not as plush as the 3XO. The Nexon is a good all-rounder, but the 3XO has the edge on ride comfort and rear seat space.On the Honda Elevate, it is a solid, reliable SUV with a comfortable ride, but at Rs 18 lakh on-road for the well-equipped variants, it is not worth stretching your budget for. The 3XO gives you a better ride and more features for less money.Overall, the 3XO is the best balance of ride comfort, space and value for your requirements. Go for the petrol automatic variant for the smoothest city driving experience.
