My budget is ₹20 lakh, and I am looking to buy a family car. I am confused between choosing an EV or a petrol car. The Honda Elevate ZX AT is one option I am considering, along with the MG Windsor Pro Essence. Please help me decide.

The MG Windsor Essence Pro is spacious enough for four people, but it has limitations as a family car. Firstly, being an electric car with a moderate range, it's best as a city car and not convenient for out-of-town trips. Also, the boot isn’t spacious enough for a family of four's luggage on a long weekend trip.
The Honda Elevate is the more sensible choice as a family car. It is reliable, efficient, very spacious, and has a big boot. With this Honda car, you can’t really go wrong.

Considering you already own a Honda City, which is a large and spacious sedan, we would recommend the MG Windsor EV in the bigger battery Pro version. The Windsor is a ground up EV and offers one of the best senses of space for its price and size. It is well equipped and, with the larger 52.9 kWh battery, you can realistically expect a range of over 350 km, which is more than sufficient for your daily 80 km commute. It is also a comfortable car for four adults, and the boot is generously sized.If you want something smaller, the Tata Punch EV is also worth considering, especially with the long range 35 kWh battery pack. This should deliver a real world range of around 230 km. The Punch is a pleasant car to drive, and if you are planning to buy one, this is also a good time as Tata is about to launch the facelifted version. Do note that deliveries may extend beyond your preferred 10 March timeline.

Hi, I want to buy a small SUV in the price range of Rs 12 to 15 lakh, with high ground clearance and a high seating position. I am confused between the Kylaq and the Elevate. Please suggest. Thanks.

The choice between the two really comes down to what you want in your car. Since you already have a mid-size vehicle, the Skoda Kylaq would be a good option.The car sits in the compact segment, which is a length of less than 4 meters, so it would be a good option to have for city drives. Moreover, the gearbox is a torque convertor which is the smoothest type of autobox around.If, however, you want your second car to also offer you more interior space, then the Honda Elevate is the better choice, being the bigger of the two.
