I own a Grand i10 (2019) model and my annual running is 1,42,000 km. My daily running is 88 km. Should I install Lovato CNG kit or replace it with Exter CNG or Swift CNG. The car is in good condition.

With a daily running of 88 km, CNG absolutely makes sense from a running cost perspective. Since your Grand i10 is a 2019 model and in good condition, it might be worth spending and getting a CNG kit installed from a reputed installer. Do keep in mind that you will have to sacrifice boot space completely.

However, if you're open to contributing more towards a new car, consider selling the Grand i10 if you're getting a decent price for it, and get the Hyundai Exter CNG. With the Exter CNG, you get the same smooth, efficient powertrain as the Nios, a factory-fitted CNG tank backed by the company warranty, and an added advantage is that its twin-tanks are placed beneath the boot floor, so you won't have to sacrifice luggage space either.

I have had a Hyundai i10 for the past 14 years, I want to replace it with an automatic vehicle for city driving. Could you please suggest options?

Since you're upgrading from a 14-year old Hyundai i10, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno is worth considering. The Baleno Zeta AMT variant fits in your budget and it would be a clear step up from your i10 in terms of space, features and convenience. It gets an efficient, three-cylinder petrol engine paired with a 5-speed AMT automatic gearbox which is well suited for city driving. The cabin is also spacious, the ride is comfortable and it will be stress-free to own in the long term. Alternatively, if you want a compact SUV consider the Hyundai Exter AMT or if you wish to have a sedan, go for the Maruti Suzuki Dzire AMT.

I’m planning to buy the Mahindra Thar Roxx Star Edition with the 2.2-litre diesel automatic and 4x2 drivetrain. I’ll use it for my daily college commute and weekend outings. I won’t be taking it on serious off-road trails, but will I miss 4x4 when it comes to small river crossings, bad and uneven roads, and beach sand? Can the 4x2 handle these conditions? Should I cancel my booking and get the AX5L 4x4 instead, even though it costs Rs 3 lakh more and misses out on some features? Or is there another car I should consider for Rs 24 lakh on-road?

The Thar Roxx Star Edition 4x2 should be fine for the light trails you are describing. However, if these excursions give you the off-roading bug, you will be limited by the lack of four-wheel drive. If you are certain that you have no intention of doing any serious off-roading, the Roxx Star Edition is a solid choice. It offers some of the features from the higher trims but omits ADAS and a few other features to keep the price down.If you think you might want to explore more serious off-roading in the future, then go with the AX5. The 4x4 system makes it very capable off-road and unlocks the full potential of the Thar Roxx. It misses out on a few features, such as a panoramic sunroof and a 360-degree camera, but gets ADAS instead.Overall, the Star Edition 4x2 is a solid value-for-money proposition, but if serious off-roading is on the cards, go with the 4x4.

Hi, I am planning to buy a new car for my family in India. Please suggest an SUV within a maximum budget of Rs 15 lakh (on-road). My options are the Kia Seltos HTE (O) and Maruti Victoris VXi. I had previously decided on the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7, but my preferences have changed slightly.

•18h

Between your two picks, the Kia Seltos HTE (O) would be our recommendation. It is a larger car than the Maruti Suzuki Victoris and has a more spacious interior. The Seltos HTE (O) is also better equipped than the Victoris VXi, offering features like LED headlights and a larger infotainment screen. Despite being one of the lower-end trims, it also feels more premium inside than the Victoris VXi.Both cars offer similar 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engines, but the Kia Seltos has a bit more power. The Seltos does cost a little more than the Victoris, but we feel it is well worth the premium.

I am planning to buy the top-end Hyundai Creta Turbo Petrol DCT variant. My daily running is around 50–100km, which adds up to approximately 25,000–30,000km annually. I am looking for a car that offers strong performance and quick acceleration, along with a comprehensive set of comfort and convenience features. Should I buy the current Creta Turbo Petrol DCT top variant or wait for the 2027 Creta? For context, I currently own a 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire Hybrid and a Volkswagen Virtus GT 1.5 TSI.

The 2027 Hyundai New Creta will be thoroughly updated inside-out, and it'll have more tech and features. If you don't mind waiting, it makes sense to get the 2027 new-gen model. Do note, its powertrain options are likely to be carried forward from the current version. If you can't wait, but still want the performance as well as the latest in terms of tech and features, consider the Kia Seltos turbo-dct instead, which packs in more or less everything the next-gen Creta is likely to offer.

Which SUV would you pick for a family of 5?

I’m planning to buy a new car, and my annual running is around 40,000km, primarily involving highway drives and ghat sections. I have shortlisted the Kia Seltos Diesel HTX and the upcoming facelifted Toyota Innova Hycross ZX. I’m considering two approaches: either buy the Innova Hycross and keep it for the next 10 years, given its reputation for longevity and the expectation that its engine can last at least 4 lakh kilometres, or buy the Seltos, drive it for around 2 lakh kilometres over 4–5 years, sell it and upgrade to a brand-new Seltos or another car of a similar price and size. On paper, the Innova Hycross Hybrid seems like the better choice, considering its long-term reliability and features such as the Ottoman reclining seats. However, I’m concerned that I might get bored of it after four years or that it may start feeling outdated as newer technologies and features enter the market. This makes the second option appealing, as it would allow me to upgrade to a brand-new car every 4–5 years. Which approach would make more sense in the long run, considering my high annual running and ownership costs?

It seems like you're leaning towards the Kia Seltos Diesel HTX, and we think it is a good choice. The diesel engine feels adequately powered for highway usage and ghat driving, and it is likely to return respectable efficiency too. Moreover, despite being modern with all the latest tech and features, the Seltos will be substantially more affordable than the Toyota Innova Hycross hybrid. So unless you need the Innova's extra space, or you frequently travel with six or seven passengers, the Kia Seltos diesel is your best bet.
