I am looking to buy a new EV/ Hybrid car with great cabin space. Budget is 15 to 18 lakhs. Mostly city driving with occasional trips 1-2 times a month. What do you suggest?

Given your requirement for a spacious cabin, the MG Windsor EV is a great choice for you. The interior room is a highlight, and the Windsor EV actually feels roomier than some larger cars. 

The Windsor EV is also pleasant to drive, though we'd suggest you opt for the Pro version that uses a larger 52.9kWh battery pack - the added range will come in handy on your outstation trips. The Windsor EV Exclusive Pro is just out of your budget, but it is the one we'd recommend you consider.

Hi, looking for a car with a daily run of 50-60km. I have shortlisted the Windsor Pro/Windsor and the VinFast VF6. I need to know their real-world range, and the car should be future-proof for the next 10 years.

If you have the budget for it, opt for the MG Windsor Pro for its larger battery and its 377 km real-world range. Also, its bright seat upholstery looks more upmarket, and it also gets ADAS.The VF6's interiors feel even more premium, performance is stronger, and it is a nicer car to drive. Space, however, won't be as generous, and even though we haven't tested it yet, despite having a larger battery, it weighs a lot more. Hence, efficiency isn't likely to be too different from the Windsor Pro.In summary, if you are usually self-driven, opt for the VinFast VF6. Otherwise, for mixed usage or if you travel regularly with family, then the Windsor Pro is the better, more spacious option.

My monthly running is 900 Km. I have shortlisted the Hyundai Creta petrol (on-road price of ₹20 lakh) and the Windsor Pro (on-road price of ₹20 lakh). Which one should I opt for?

Without knowing more about your usage and requirements, it is hard to give you the ideal pick. Broadly speaking, the Hyundai Creta petrol is the more rounded package. It's a proven product with a user-friendly and spacious interior and a pleasant driving experience. If you are open to the Creta petrol, it's worth your while to check the new Kia Seltos, which is newer, roomier and more feature-packed.The MG Windsor Pro entices with keen pricing, an airy cabin and a sofa-like rear seat. However, there is a learning curve to the Windsor experience because many of the key controls are via the touchscreen. Also, while your usage doesn't suggest you'll have an issue, EVs work best if you have the option to install a charger at home.

I am looking to buy a car for my parents, who do not drive, so it will mostly be chauffeur-driven. My main priority is rear seat comfort. We are upgrading from a 2011 Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire. The car will mainly be used for highways and long trips, with minimal city usage. However, I would prefer an automatic transmission in case I need to use it occasionally in the city (Bengaluru). Before starting test drives, I wanted your suggestions on some suitable vehicles. Based on my initial research, I have shortlisted the following options: Honda City ZX CVT Kia Seltos HTX iVT Honda Elevate ZX CVT Škoda Slavia 1.5L Sportline DSG or 1.0 Monte Carlo AT Volkswagen Virtus Topline AT My budget is around ₹20–21 lakh. Which option would you recommend, especially considering rear seat comfort and highway usability?

Go for the Honda City ZX CVT. For chauffeur‑driven parents, it offers the comfiest rear bench, ample legroom, and a smooth CVT for Bengaluru traffic within your ₹20-21 lakh budget.Rear comfort is its strength: the 2,600 mm wheelbase helps knee-room, the rear seat is well-cushioned with good thigh support, and the ride is tuned soft for long trips. The 506‑litre boot easily swallows luggage for highway runs. ZX adds 6 airbags and ADAS with adaptive cruise control, useful on long highways. The CVT’s smooth creep and no shift‑shock make occasional city use easy. Versus your shortlist, Elevate’s rear bench feels upright, while Slavia/Virtus ride firmer and are more driver‑centric for back‑seat comfort.The one thing you give up is ground clearance in comparison to the Elevate. Also, if getting in and out is a concern, the Elevate's high-set seats would make it easier. A test drive should sort that out. For now, we recommend the City for its hassle-free ownership experience, reliability and most of all, a refined and comfortable cabin.
