Hi, I am looking for hybrid options. Until now, I was getting convinced by the Hyryder, but the Duster has changed my mind. However, I am not happy with the rear seat row of the Duster. Should I wait for the Hyundai Creta Hybrid if it is launching? My monthly running is 600-700 km, with 90% city driving (for office commute) and highway trips once every 3 months.

I am currently using a 2013 Polo Petrol. I want to buy an automatic (TC or IVT) car as my primary vehicle. Since my parents are getting older, easy ingress/egress and good ride comfort are mandatory. My driving speed is usually between 60 and 90 km/h, with an 80:20 city-to-highway usage split. I prefer a car with the best-in-class insulation and NVH levels. Please suggest 2 cars from each of the following segments within an on-road budget of ₹20 lakh: Sub-4m SUV Midsize SUV I do not prefer Tata due to poor after-sales service.

Planning to buy my first car in 2027 with budget of ~20L? But really confused with buying EV or Hybrid. especially after Renault duster hybrid. Living in Chennai. My daily commute to office around 30KM a day and occasional round trip to my home town will be 1000 kms. Please clarify which one to go and what are the upcoming Hybrid launches planned in India for 2027 ?

Hi Autocar, I am looking to book a car this week. I have narrowed it down to one of 3 cars, all petrol automatic IVTs. My running is mostly 95% in the city (office commute in Mumbai traffic). My daily commute is around 15 km, so I don't want a turbo engine for bumper-to-bumper traffic. That comes out to roughly 5,000 km in annual running. I am 6 feet tall, so I wouldn't want something that feels cramped. New Seltos HTK+(O) New Elevate VX Bayon HX8 All of these are close to the Rs. 16 lakh ex-showroom price mark. I've driven the Seltos and the Elevate, and I really liked both of them. The Seltos feels more premium on the inside, which I feel is a feature worth having in a daily driver. The Elevate is brilliant, but it feels a bit cheap on the inside. It also lacks a panoramic sunroof; although I might use it only one day a year, given that it's priced the same as the Seltos, it feels like a miss. I know Honda engines are top-notch, but given my limited running and lack of driving enthusiast priorities, I'm not sure if that does justice to my needs. Now comes the Bayon. I haven't done a test drive yet as it is not available, but the Bayon pricing at the HX6 and HX8 trims seems very close to the Creta. I am tempted to go for the HX8 as it offers a 360-degree camera (which I think might be useful for parking since I am upgrading from a hatchback), but I wonder if I am getting a 'lesser car' compared to the Seltos. Which one would you recommend? I am keen on booking before Diwali and will see if there are any discounts on the Seltos (unlikely, though).
