I am planning to buy an electric car with 80% city use and 20% highway driving. My maximum budget is ₹30 lakh. Should I buy one now or wait?

•36w

There are some interesting electric cars expected to be launched in the next few months, so if you can wait, you will get a wider choice. Cars like Honda's mid-size electric SUV and the Tata Sierra EV will arrive in the later half of 2026.

If you cannot wait until then, you could look at the Hyundai Creta Electric, which is a good all-rounder and will do well in the city and on your occasional highway runs too.

I’m 65 and am considering the Mahindra BE 6, Tata Sierra EV, Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella. I particularly want ventilated front seats and a 360-degree camera. I am not very concerned about performance or technical aspects and instead want an EV that is comfortable and easy for me to drive. My usage will include both city driving and long-distance trips. Which one would be suitable for my requirements?

Based on your requirements, the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara would be our recommendation. It offers a comfortable cabin, especially up front, a relaxed driving experience and a good suite of comfort features.The Mahindra BE 6 has the edge on performance, while the Tata Sierra EV has more space, and both offer a longer real-world range, but they are also considerably more expensive and, for your requirements, not worth the extra outlay. The e-Vitara is a good all-rounder, with more than sufficient range, and also the comfort features you seek - ventilated front seats and a 360-degree camera.The Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella is the same as the e-Vitara but more expensive, and again, it doesn't justify its premium. Overall, the e-Vitara strikes the best balance between comfort, features and ease of ownership for your needs.

Is the tailgate powered for the new Audi Q3?

Some variants of the upcoming Audi Q3 get a powered tailgate function in international markets. However, we'll have to wait for its India launch to know the 2026 Q3's confirmed feature list.

I am a 54 year old lady who wants to buy a car for daily commute to office that is around 20 km from my place in a small town. I have plans of occasionally driving 300 km in a month. My budget is between Rs. 8 and 10 lakhs. Suggest me the best option.

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Swift. It is the most sensible choice for your requirements, as it is easy to drive, reliable and efficient. The Swift is compact enough for city use, has a light steering and smooth controls, which makes it very easy to drive. It is also spacious and comfortable enough for your occasional 300km drives. Maruti’s service network is excellent, especially in smaller towns, and the car is known for its low maintenance costs and strong resale value. The petrol engine is refined and efficient, and the car offers a good balance of comfort and practicality within your budget. It is simply the most hassle-free ownership experience for your needs. An alternative is the Hyundai Exter, which has a taller seating position and better visibility, but the Swift is overall the more premium, efficient and value-for-money option.

I am planning to buy a naturally aspirated petrol automatic car and have shortlisted the Toyota Hyryder mild hybrid and Honda Elevate. Which one would be the better choice?

•5d

Go for the Honda Elevate CVT. Both the Elevate and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder mild hybrid use naturally aspirated petrol engines, but the Elevate’s 1.5-litre engine is more refined, and the CVT gearbox is silky smooth, making it a more relaxed car to drive in everyday conditions. The Elevate also benefits from Honda’s strong reputation for long-term reliability and low maintenance costs, which is exactly what you want from a naturally aspirated petrol automatic. The Hyryder is still a good car, but the Elevate is the more complete package for this brief.

I am new to driving and am looking for a sub-4-metre petrol SUV with a torque converter automatic gearbox. My budget is around Rs 12-13 lakh on-road. I have shortlisted two options: the Skoda Kylaq Signature automatic and the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro automatic. We are a family of five. My current usage is mostly within the city, but based on my future work requirements, it could shift to an 80:20 mix of city and highway driving.

Go for the Skoda Kylaq Signature AT. For a new driver with predominantly city use, its 1.0 TSI with a 6-speed torque-converter automatic is smooth and easy to drive, while the compact dimensions make it relatively easy to manage in traffic. It also has a more mature, planted feel on the highway.The Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT is the better choice if rear-seat space is the priority. Its cabin is wider and more accommodating for a family of five, and its 1.2 turbo-petrol makes 200Nm, giving it stronger low-end and mid-range performance than the Kylaq.However, the 3XO's boot is also one of its compromises, while the Kylaq offers a better balance of driving dynamics, boot space and highway manners. With your usage potentially becoming 80:20 city/highway, the Kylaq's combination works particularly well.

I’m considering the Volkswagen Tayron R-Line, Audi Q3, BMW X1, and MINI Countryman petrol. I drive myself and am looking for a car that offers a good balance of features, comfort, and driving pleasure. Which one would be the best choice?

The Audi New Q3 might be significantly more expensive than the other options you've listed. However, if you're referring to the outgoing model available at a discounted price, we'd recommend you to certainly consider it. The Audi Q3 has a strong 2.0 TSI engine, and its ride comfort is excellent too. Additionally, the all-wheel drive system makes it an able handler. So if you like to drive, this one is certainly worth considering. You'll also appreciate the cabin quality and seat comfort. And while it has the basics, some features like ventilated seats, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, powered tailgate, etc are missing.The BMW X1 will be a lot more spacious in comparison, however its turbo-petrol engine doesn't match the Audi's performance or responsiveness.
