I want to know the launch date of the new Toyota Innova Hycross model.

•1h

The Toyota Innova Hycross facelift is expected to launch in early 2027. Toyota has already been testing the updated Hycross in India, with spy shots showing a revised front end, new lighting elements and a redesigned bumper. The facelift is expected to bring some interior and feature updates as well, while the existing 2.0-litre petrol and strong hybrid powertrains are likely to continue. Toyota has not announced a confirmed launch date yet, so early 2027 is the current expectation rather than a firm date.

I'm looking for an SUV car but my budget is 15 lakh on-road price with automatic for a comfortable family and long trip.

Go for the Mahindra XUV 3XO automatic. It is one of the most spacious compact SUVs in the segment, with a wide rear seat that makes it a genuinely comfortable five-seater for family use. The ride quality is well suited to long trips, and the automatic gearbox is smooth and easy to live with. It also comes with a strong safety package and a good set of features for the price. The only real compromise is the boot, which is on the smaller side for the segment, but overall it offers the best balance of comfort, space and value within your Rs 15 lakh on-road budget. If boot space is a priority, the Maruti Brezza automatic is a good alternative.

I’m planning to buy my first car, and my primary goal is daily office commuting. The distance from home to office is 30 km one way in Mumbai, which is roughly 1,000 km a month. My requirement is an automatic car. Which fuel type should I choose - petrol or diesel? My budget is Rs. 10-15 lakh.

•2h

At around 1,000km a month, with a 30 km each-way commute in Mumbai traffic, petrol is the better choice. The running is not high enough to make a diesel automatic's higher purchase price and more complex emissions system worthwhile, particularly when much of the driving will be in stop-start traffic.For a first car under Rs 15 lakh, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5 AT would be a sensible choice. Its naturally aspirated petrol engine and torque converter automatic are smooth and well suited to Mumbai traffic, while Maruti's service network and generally low maintenance costs make it an easy car to live with. The automatic's certified efficiency is also a respectable 20.17kpl.If you want something more fun to drive, the Kylaq 1.0 TSI AT and XUV 3XO 1.2 turbo AT are worth considering, although their turbo petrol engines and overall ownership proposition are different from the Brezza.

I am planning to buy a 7-seater SUV but am confused between the MG Tomahawk PHEV and XUV 7XO.

•3h

For a seven-seater, the Tomahawk PHEV has an interesting advantage over the XUV 7XO. It can handle much of your everyday driving on electric power, while the petrol engine lets you take longer trips without planning around charging. It is also designed with comfort and space as priorities.The XUV 7XO makes more sense if performance, highway driving and a more conventional powertrain are higher on the priority list. It also offers more engine and transmission choices, including diesel, making it a more straightforward proposition for heavy highway use.The important caveat is that we are yet to drive the Tomahawk PHEV, so its ride quality, real-world efficiency, performance and overall refinement cannot be judged against the XUV 7XO yet. Those aspects should be assessed once a production car is tested.

Hi, I’m confused between the Skoda Kylaq and Tata Punch EV and would like some advice on which one to buy. The car will primarily be used for city driving, with occasional highway trips. The budget is Rs 10-14 lakh on-road. I previously owned a Volkswagen Polo GT TDI, so I’m looking for a car that can offer a similar level of driving satisfaction while also being practical for everyday use. I’m currently confused between these two options and would appreciate some guidance.

Go for the Skoda Kylaq 1.0 TSI. With your budget of Rs 10-14 lakh, mostly city usage and occasional highway runs, the Kylaq is the better fit. It offers a familiar driving experience coming from a Polo GT TDI, with a punchy turbo petrol engine, solid build quality and a sorted ride and handling balance. The Tata Punch EV is a good city car, but the Kylaq is more versatile for occasional highway trips and long-term ownership. The Kylaq also offers better rear seat space and a more premium feel overall. The Punch EV makes sense only if your usage is almost entirely city-based and you have reliable home charging. Given your budget and usage pattern, the Kylaq is the more balanced and sensible choice.

I currently drive a Hyundai i10 CNG, with daily running of around 6 km in Gurgaon city traffic and a monthly highway drive of around 200 km. I am now planning to upgrade my car, with an on-road budget of Rs. 12 lakh for a petrol sub-4-metre SUV, up to Rs. 14 lakh for a petrol midsize SUV, and Rs. 15 lakh for an EV. I live in a rented apartment on the second floor, so I am apprehensive about getting an EV. I prefer an EV, but installing a charger could be complicated due to the sanctioned load. My running could increase to nearly 800 km per month in the future. My key priorities are: - Good suspension and ride comfort, as I have a back problem - Decent fuel efficiency in heavy city traffic - Low to medium maintenance costs - Auto hold and ventilated seats would be good to have I sometimes consider buying a manual, but I mostly prefer an automatic. I am currently considering the Maruti Brezza, Baleno AMT, Fronx AMT/AT, Sonet iMT, Exter AMT, and even the upcoming Inster, VF3, and Bayon. I am open to other suggestions as well. Note: I had a bad driving experience with the Punch AMT, as it caused back fatigue.

Given your priorities of ride comfort, fuel efficiency and low maintenance, the Maruti Brezza automatic is the most sensible upgrade. It offers a comfortable ride, a proven naturally aspirated petrol engine and Maruti's strong service network, which keeps long-term ownership costs in check. The torque converter automatic is smooth in city traffic, and the Brezza's higher seating position will help with your back issues. The Sonet iMT is not the right choice here. While it is a good car, the iMT is not a true automatic and will not offer the same ease of use in Gurgaon traffic. The Baleno AMT and Exter AMT are also not ideal given your back issues and the fact that AMT gearboxes are not as smooth as torque converter automatics in stop-start conditions.On the EV front, your apprehension about charging is valid. Without a straightforward home charging solution, an EV will add unnecessary complexity to your ownership experience. The upcoming Bayon is interesting and if you can wait a few weeks you would have a better picture before making a decision. For now, the Brezza automatic strikes the best balance between comfort, efficiency and hassle-free ownership.

Hi, I want to buy my last car as I am 66 years old. I have been driving a Honda City for the last 12 years without any major hiccup. The Honda City engine and its reliability is excellent although its ground clearance is an issue. I have looked at Elevate and given its ground clearance as an SUV, I am impressed although the issues on E20 and abrupt blending issues are surely technical issues. Windsor EV was a great test drive but all controls on screen could be a bottleneck for me at my age and am planning to move to an automatic. Please recommend as experts. My monthly running will not be more than 500 km. Should I also look at Seltos. I will appreciate a feedback from experts. I want a reliable, easy to drive car with low maintenance cost and good family value with. There won't be any great pick ups or many highway drives will not be there.

Given your 12 years of trouble free City ownership, the Elevate is the most natural replacement. It retains Honda’s simple 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, adds substantially better ground clearance and gives you the easier ingress and SUV driving position you liked. The CVT is also very well suited to your low speed, low running usage and should make the transition to an automatic easy.On your E20 concern, we would not treat it as a reason to avoid the Elevate. Honda says all its cars manufactured in India since January 2009 are E20 material compatible, and the current Elevate is officially certified for E20. Honda also says E20 should not cause durability concerns or require any component changes. There can be a marginal reduction in fuel economy because ethanol contains less energy than petrol, but with your 500km monthly running, that is unlikely to be significant.The Seltos is worth a look, particularly if you want a more feature rich and premium cabin, but given your priorities of reliability, easy driving, low maintenance and long term ownership, the Elevate fits your requirements more naturally. The Windsor EV is also an interesting option, but at just 500km a month, there is little financial reason to move to an EV, especially when you have concerns about its touchscreen heavy interface.
