I am confused whether I should go for EV or not. I own 2 cars. One is an 8 year old i20 and other one is a 4 year old XUV 700 AX5 MT PTR. I am thinking of changing i20. Which EV will be suitable for highway and city use. I have driven Vinfast VF6 and MG Windsor. Both are good but Vinfast is new to India. Kindly suggest

•1h

Considering your intended usage, go for the Vinfast VF6. It's much better suited to both city and highway use, thanks to its strong, BMW-derived chassis, which gives a lot more confidence in a variety of conditions. It's also more powerful and has a bigger battery with longer range. Vinfast is a relatively new brand, but it has put in a lot of investment to make sure its aftersales and service is on par with the rest. The MG Windsor has the advantage on interior space, but that's about it. Another car you could consider, especially since you are coming from a Hyundai, is the Kia Syros EV. It falls in the same price range, offers similar space to the Windsor and range similar to the Vinfast. It is the safer choice of the three, but between your shortlisted EVs, the VF6 makes more sense for you.

Hi Team, I want to buy the Kia Syros EV HTK (base variant). My daily running is around 280 km.

•23h

With a daily run of 280 km, the Kia Syros EV 42kWh HTK might not be an ideal option. This Kia car is a very good family EV with a comfortable ride, spacious cabin and a premium feel, but with a real-world range of around 300- 350 km depending on driving conditions. At 280 km a day, you are using around 80-90% of the battery every single day, which means you will need to charge it daily, and you will have very little buffer for unexpected detours or highway driving at higher speeds, where range drops. For your usage, at the current price, consider diesel-automatic options of the Venue or Syros diesel-automatic, which start at around Rs 15 lakh.If you must have an electric car, opt for the extended range version of the Syros EV with a 51.4kWh battery that'll have a real-world range of around 400km, which will be a bit more reassuring given your 280km daily usage.

I use a 2026 Creta as my regular vehicle and am looking at an EV to be used with a hired driver for city commutes. Which EV, ideally around Rs 15 lakh on-road in Bangalore, would be a good choice, with comfortable rear-seat space and seating?

Go for the MG Windsor. It is the best fit for your brief. The Windsor is a genuinely spacious electric car with a wide rear bench, good legroom and a comfortable ride, which is exactly what you want for a chauffeur-driven city car. It also sits at around Rs 15 lakh on-road in Bangalore, making it one of the few EVs in this price range that genuinely feels like a step up in rear-seat comfort and space.The Tata Nexon EV is the obvious alternative, but it is a smaller car with a narrower rear bench and less overall space, so it does not feel as comfortable for regular chauffeur-driven use. The Windsor's ride comfort isn't as good as the Nexon EV's, and neither is the refinement, with a lot of road noise filtering into the cabin.The Windsor is not the most premium EV in the segment, but it is the most practical and comfortable choice for your use case. It is also backed by MG's growing service network and has a decent ownership track record. If you want a more premium experience, you would have to stretch your budget significantly, and at that point the value proposition starts to weaken.Overall, the Windsor is the most sensible and comfortable choice for a chauffeur-driven city EV at this price point.

Currently, I own a Honda City V CVT. For me, this is the best car. I have driven around 16,000 km in last 2 years. However, now my running has increased to 200 km per day. I find EV more suitable for future. Kindly recommend me a good reliable EV or should I go for a diesel or strong hybrid?

•1m

With 200km a day, an EV only makes sense if you have reliable home charging and your usage is mostly predictable. Then too, such high usage will require frequent charging, which in turn will take a toll on battery health sooner, and this affects performance, range and resale value. A diesel or strong hybrid is the more practical choice for your usage - the diesel being better suited to greater highway use, and the hybrid to greater city use. The Kia Seltos diesel automatic is the best all-rounder. It is refined, efficient and will handle your daily mileage with ease. A strong hybrid like the Maruti Suzuki Victoris Hybrid is worth considering if your driving is a mix of city and highway, but at 200km a day, the diesel will still be more cost-effective. The Honda City Hybrid is a good car, but it is not as efficient on the highway as a diesel.

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.

•6d

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?

•2d

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.
