Hi, I own a Kia Carens Clavis EV that comes with 3 years of warranty. My running is below 12000km annually. I have an option to extend the warranty for 4-5 years. Should I buy the extended warranty?

In general, it is a good practice to have an extended warranty. It is a bit like medical insurance, you hope to never actually require it but its always wise to have a policy just in case. In the case of the car, the extended warranty on Kia Carens Clavis EV can also be transferred to a new owner, though double check this with your dealer. If that is the case this can help increase your resale value too. So all in all its a good backup to have.

I own a 2024 Tata Punch Adventure Rhythm with manual AC and showroom-fitted PU seat covers. I am facing a sweating problem around my thighs and back, even though I have Garware film on all the windows. I live in Mumbai, where the climate is humid. What would you suggest to address this problem?

PU seat covers do not offer good breathability, which is why you feel sweaty. Ideally, you should use the car's original fabric seat covers. Protecting the original seats only benefits the second owner, so you might as well enjoy their comfort and appearance. If they get soiled, you can always fit seat covers later.If you feel however you must have seat covers then switch to cloth covers which have much better breathability. You also get aftermarket cooled seat cushions that plug into the car's 12V socket. However, these can shift under braking or in an impact, which could make them unsafe in an accident. So, fabric seat covers would be our recommendation.

I am planning to buy a car with a factory-fitted CNG kit, an automatic transmission, and cruise control within a budget of Rs 15 lakh. Please suggest some options.

There are quite a few options that would meet your requirements, so its hard to pinpoint a specific model without knowing a bit more about your requirements and driving conditions. If you are looking for a city car then pick the Tata Punch, the compact dimensions are easy to manage in tight city traffic and the elevated driving position gives you a decent view outside. If however you want something bigger and with more space then the Maruti Suzuki Dzire would be a good option as you will have more rear space as well as a larger boot. Both cars will fit well within your budget. If you want a larger CNG car then you will have to settle for a manual and the a model like the Kia Carens Clavis or the Maruti Victoris.

improve the grammar and write it in a paragraph - Hi Autocar, Iam looking to book a car this week. I have narrowed it down to one of 3 cars. Petrol Automatic IVTs. My running is mostly going to be 95% city (office to work in Mumbai traffic). Daily commute is around 15km, so I don't want a turbo in traffic. That's roughly 5k annual running. I am 6ft tall so wouldn't want something that is cramped 1. New Seltos HTK(O) 2. New elevate VX 3. Bayon HX 8 All of these are close to the 16L ex showroom price. I've driven the Seltos and Elevate. I really liked both of them. The Seltos feels more premium from the inside and I feel like that is something worth having in a daily car. The elevate is brilliant, but it seems cheap on the inside. No pani sunroof too, although I would maybe use it 1 day in year, it's priced the same as the Seltos, so that felt a miss. I know Honda engines are top, but at my running and limited enthusiast journey, I'm not sure if that does justice to need. Now comes the bayon. I have not done a test drive yet as its not available, but the bayon pricing at Hx6 and hx8 seems very close to the Creta currently.. I am tempted to go for the hx8 as it as a 360 camera,( I think that might be usefull for parking etc as I am coming from a hatchback ) but I am getting a "lesser car" vs the Seltos here I wonder.. Which one would you recommend? I am keen on booking before diwali, will see if there are any discounts on the Seltos (unlikey though)

All things considered, the Kia Seltos is the better fit for your needs. Since you are on the taller side, you will appreciate the extra room it has to offer compared to the Hyundai Bayon. Opting for the Bayon does get you a higher variant with a 360-degree camera, which can be helpful in tight spots. However, once you get used to the size of the vehicle, you might find yourself using the camera less often.As for the Honda Elevate, as you rightly mentioned, the Seltos feels more premium inside and costs about the same. The Elevate does offer a bit more performance from its 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, but since 95% of your driving is in slow-moving Mumbai traffic, the added performance won't really make much of a difference.Overall, the Seltos is the right fit for your needs.

Dear Autocar India team, I am planning to purchase my first family car with a budget of Rs 11 lakh and have already booked the Kia Sonet HTK+ variant. However, concerns raised on social media about the performance of its 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine have made me reconsider my decision. Since our monthly usage is relatively low and the car will primarily be used for occasional trips, would the Sonet HTK+ be a suitable choice for our requirements, or should I consider another model or an alternative powertrain within the Sonet range? I would appreciate your professional guidance in making the right decision. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

If your usage is primarily in the city, the 1.2-litre Kia Sonet will serve you just fine. It has a smooth, refined engine paired with a light clutch and gearbox, which makes it easy to drive in city traffic. Where it falls short is on the highway, where it may need a downshift to make an overtake.If you frequently travel on the highway with three or more passengers, you would be better off looking at a turbo-petrol version of the Sonet. Alternatively, consider something like the Maruti Suzuki Brezza or Hyundai Venue with a turbo-petrol engine. However, the trade-off for better performance from a turbo-petrol engine is lower fuel efficiency in the city.If you only plan on using the Sonet around town, stick with the naturally aspirated engine. But if highway performance is important, the turbo-petrol is a worthwhile upgrade.

I am looking to buy a hybrid car in the Rs 20 lakh to Rs 25 lakh range because my daily running is 80 to 100 km. I was looking at the Renault Duster Strong Hybrid 1.8L, but I am not a big fan of its looks and rear seat space. I would like to know when the Kia Seltos Hybrid and the 7-seater version of the Duster are coming out so I can plan accordingly.

I am planning to purchase an electric vehicle for a daily commute of approximately 80 km in Hyderabad, with a budget of up to Rs. 20 lakh. My key priorities are spacious interiors, strong safety features, good build quality, and overall reliability. Considering my daily usage, would opting for a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model be a financially beneficial choice?

I’m planning to buy an electric car, but I’m a little confused and would appreciate your advice. I’m a civil engineer, and my daily commute is around 100–150km, covering a mix of city and village roads. I also travel frequently to my hometown, which is in a hilly region, with a round trip of approximately 270km. My highway usage is relatively low. My primary requirement is a 5-seater EV, and my budget is around Rs 23 lakh. Currently, I’m considering the Tata Harrier EV Adventure S and the MG Tomahawk EV Excite, but I’m open to other suggestions if you think there are better options. I have already test-driven the Mahindra XEV 9S, but its base variant is currently unavailable, while the mid variant is beyond my budget. Could you please suggest which EV would be the best choice for my usage and requirements? Thank you in advance for your advice.

Virtus facelift should be Fuel efficient. Also should have Hybrid option

Hi Autocar Team, I am considering the Renault Duster E-Tech hybrid and have a few concerns: 1. How reliable is this hybrid powertrain internationally? Are there any known issues with the engine, transmission or battery? 2. What is the expected battery life and replacement cost? Is there enough real-world data to establish its 10-year reliability? 3. Can it handle challenging Himalayan routes like Leh-Ladakh, including high altitudes, steep climbs, long descents and extreme temperatures? Are there any performance or cooling limitations? 4. Is Renault India's service network equipped to handle hybrid repairs, especially during long-distance trips? 5. Given the Rs. 3.5 lakh premium over the DCT, would you recommend the hybrid for 10-year ownership and extensive road trips across India? Thanks
