I own a 2023 MG ZS EV and am very happy with the performance, service and overall reliability. It has done 90,000kms and I'm looking to upgrade it to something around 30 lakhs on road. I really like the BE6, should I wait for Sierra ev. I can wait for a few months. Please help me i'm open to other options too

For your needs, consider the Mahindra XUV 7XO. While it doesn’t have the rugged appeal of the Thar Roxx, it is far more comfortable in terms of cabin space and, importantly, ride quality. The new Da Vinci suspension works very well to absorb bumps at all speeds while still keeping the body well controlled at higher speeds, with none of the body swaying you experienced in the Roxx.As family comfort is a priority, you will appreciate the wide and comfortable second row, while the third row is a bonus for occasional use. It is also more powerful than the Roxx, so performance is very impressive. Before you decide, do take a detailed test drive.

In your case, we would suggest going for the Hyundai Creta IVT automatic. The Creta stands out because it offers a very comfortable and well-cushioned ride, which is important for reducing strain on your back. The suspension is tuned to absorb bumps well, especially at city speeds, making it one of the more comfortable options in this segment. The seats are also supportive and easy to get in and out of, which helps in daily usage.The IVT automatic is another big advantage. It is extremely smooth in traffic, with no jerks at low speeds, which makes driving stress-free and easier on your back, especially in stop-and-go conditions.The Mahindra XUV 3XO, while a good car, has a slightly firmer ride, so it may not feel as comfortable over longer drives or bad roads. It is good to drive, but not the best fit for your specific requirement of comfort.

It will be hard for a larger car to match the fuel efficiency you get from your i10, but the new Maruti Suzuki Swift with the Z-series engine does a very good job. In our real-world tests, we managed 14kpl in the city and 19kpl on the highway with the manual gearbox. The AMT is only marginally less efficient, and you also get the same engine in the new Maruti Suzuki Dzire, which will fit your budget.The Swift and the Dzire get cruise control in the higher trims and also feature rear AC vents. The cabins of both cars are more spacious than before, with comfortable seating for four and decent refinement. The Swift’s boot is 265 litres, and if you need more space, the Dzire is the better choice.
