I currently own a Honda City petrol. Planning to buy my first EV SUV. Between the VF7 and the MG Astor EV (if launched soon), which one should I choose for comfort and the latest technology?

Asked by: Mani
The MG Astor is a petrol-powered SUV. The MG ZS EV is its electric equivalent. There is no concrete update on the launch of the new ZS, as the Astor is likely to be launched first.
The VinFast VF7 has a lot of positives, like space, features, and value. However, we have yet to drive the VF7 in India and so cannot comment yet on its performance and range. Vinfast is an all-new brand, so its sales support and reliability are yet to be seen.
We would advise you to check the Hyundai Creta Electric Long Range as it offers a well-rounded package and Hyundai's trusted network.

I am confused between the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella and the Skoda Kushaq (new facelift). Which one should I buy for better comfort? Price is not a constraint. Which is more value for money? My driving split is 50:50 city and highway.

We are yet to drive either of the cars you have mentioned, as they were unveiled yesterday. However, based on our experience with the Maruti Suzuki E Vitara, which the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella is based on, the Skoda Kushaq should be the better option purely in terms of comfort and space.Like the eVitara, the Ebella is unlikely to impress with rear seat comfort, and its boot is quite small. The Kushaq, on the other hand, has always been a spacious car, and it is safe to expect the new version to continue that trend. Added features such as rear massage seats, a panoramic sunroof, and the new 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster will further enhance the overall sense of premiumness.

I have been riding a Pulsar 180 for 11 years and now want a new motorcycle with classic looks. My daily commute is around 8-10km, and I also ride about 400km on weekends for a round trip between my workplace and hometown. My budget is Rs 2.5 lakh. What options would suit my usage?

Within your budget, retro-styled bikes you should be looking at are the Royal Enfield Hunter / Classic / Bullet 350, TVS Ronin, Triumph Speed T4, and Honda CB350 trio. All options have comfortable suspension, upright and neutral ergonomics and will be good in terms of fuel economy too.Of these options, the Triumph bike will provide the most performance and have the best handling. A test ride of all those on your shortlist will be helpful in deciding which is the correct fit for you.

Dear Sir, good morning. I am a senior citizen currently using a Honda City and a Suzuki Access. I have been suffering from back and neck pain for many years, and now want to switch to an electric scooter only for local commuting. The Suzuki e-Access is too expensive. Please suggest a good EV scooter between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 1.25 lakh, with a 3 to 3.5kWh battery and a comfortable, ergonomic design. Thank you. Regards.

In your price range, there are 4 options which you can consider - Bajaj Chetak 3001 / 3503, TVS iQube 3.1 / 3.5, Vida VX2 Plus (3.4kWh) and the Ather Rizta S 2.9. Of these four, the Rizta, iQube and Chetak have been on sale for multiple years and have proven their reliability. The Vida is relatively newer, but it should also be a pretty reliable machine in the long run.Do take a test ride of all four to see which one suits you best. If you are a taller person, the Bajaj Chetak will be the most spacious and will fit you better. It is also worth visiting your nearest authorised dealership and finding out the service intervals for each, as EV ownership differs significantly from petrol scooters like the Suzuki Access.

I would like to upgrade my Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise. I have been riding my brother’s Royal Enfield Classic 500 Desert Storm and find it easy to manoeuvre in the city, but I do experience back pain on bad roads. Can I go with a Royal Enfield, and which model would you recommend? My weekly usage is around 120km, and I have not done long rides so far, but I am open to experimenting.

Since you are already comfortable with a Classic 500, you can take a look at the RE Classic / Bullet 350. These Royal Enfield bikes will be comfortable, reliable and will serve as a good upgrade from your Bajaj Avenger 220.For similiar reasons, we would also recommend you take a look at bikes like the TVS Ronin and Honda CB350 trio. These bikes will have a somewhat similar riding experience, but are much lighter.A test ride will help you decide which is the right option for you.
