I am 60 years old and want to buy an automatic car ranging from Rs 14 lakh to Rs 18 lakh. My running will not be too much.

Given your need for a relaxed and comfortable automatic, we would recommend the Honda Elevate. It has a smooth-shifting CVT gearbox, a refined petrol engine and a comfartable suspension. What would be an added advantage is the seat height, which is at a comfortable position, making getting in and out quite easy.

The touchscreen is also easy to use with a sorted old-school interface that does not take time to get used to. And lastly, the Honda brand is synonymous with reliability, which adds even more peace of mind.

I own a 2018 Honda City Manual SV Petrol version, and I am planning to buy a new car. I have been driving the Honda City for more than 10-11 years due to the comfort of a luxury sedan. I am confused, as many people are suggesting that I buy an SUV like the Kia Seltos. I did a test drive and liked many of the features, but the comfort of driving a sedan was missing. Personally, my family likes sedans. But I want to know where the Honda City stands in the market. Is it losing market share due to other SUVs and EVs? Should I stick with the Honda City for a pleasurable driving experience and forget about the tech aspect of it? Also, please advise on manual vs automatic, as I feel driving an automatic will take away the pleasure of driving. Nowadays, I have heard that no one is buying manual cars because of the trend and the ease of driving. But I want to know if there is a good driving experience without gears, or if automatics are just for people who can’t manage cars with gears. Also, is the sunroof variant just for aesthetic purposes, or does it really have any usable value, considering most of my driving is in the city? A detailed review would help.

In terms of choosing between manual and automatic, it largely comes down to usage and personal preference. The convenience that an automatic transmission brings in stop-and-go traffic is undeniable, making it the better choice for those with long urban commutes. However, if a manual is what you prefer and the extra effort it requires in the city doesn’t bother you, then that is what you should get.It’s true the Honda City doesn’t sell as well as it once did in a market dominated by SUVs, but it remains a competent, if somewhat underwhelming, car. If you like the Honda experience and want to upgrade to an SUV, the Elevate is worth considering. It’s a spacious vehicle with good ride and handling and a slick gearbox; however, it is down on features compared to the competition.If you’d prefer to stick with the sedan formula but want something more engaging to drive, the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus should be right up your alley. They are currently among the most enjoyable sedans to drive in the segment and, even in 1.0-litre TSI form, offer more performance than the Honda City. They are also available with a manual, although Volkswagen has recently discontinued the manual on the 1.5 TSI.Finally, a sunroof is a luxury feature, not an essential. If you don’t find any practical value in it, it’s best avoided.

I’m planning to buy a car with a budget of ₹15-20 lakh. I drive about 3,000 km per year, mostly within the city, but also take a few out-of-city trips for vacations or family visits. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I intend to keep the car for 12+ years, so low maintenance is important. Since I live in Jaipur, Rajasthan, where the climate is dry and very hot, having a strong and reliable AC is essential. I’ve been considering options like the Hyundai Elevate, Skoda Kushaq, and Volkswagen Taigun. I have been using a Honda Brio from last 14 years, which I have to replace.

The Honda Elevate would be a good option to upgrade. Since you are used to the reliability and peace of mind with a Honda, you will appreciate the Elevate as it carries over the same ethos. Also, your annual running isn't as much, so a petrol SUV with a CVT gearbox would be a good fit for you. The powertrain is smooth and refined in the city, and the AC performance is one of the best in the segment.In our AC test, the Elevate was quick to drop the cabin temperature despite having the highest starting temperature, making the AC performance commendable. What's also nice is the simple, no-nonsense cabin and infotainment system that gets the basics and a comfy ride that makes those once-in-a-while long trips effortless. The Elevate would be our recommendation.

Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to buy a new SUV in 2026 within a budget of ₹30-40 lakh. I want a proper off-road capable vehicle that also works well as a family car. Can we expect the Toyota RAV4 to launch in India in 2026? Please advise.

As of now, Toyota has no concrete plans to bring the Toyota RAV4 to India in 2026 or anytime soon. The challenge is cost. The RAV4 would have to be imported or assembled in small numbers, which would push its price well beyond what most buyers in the Rs 30-40 lakh bracket expect. Also, by Indian standards, it’s not a particularly large SUV, and at that price, buyers here tend to want more size and presence.Sadly, there’s a bit of a vacuum in the Rs 30-40 lakh space, and in this range, your more practical choices are SUVs like the Mahindra XUV7XO and the Tata Harrier. Both are spacious, comfortable for family use, and capable on bad roads. If you can stretch closer to Rs 50 lakh, options like the Skoda Kodiaq and the upcoming Volkswagen Tayron (a more affordable version below the R-Line is expected) are very strong all-rounders with a more premium feel.Another SUV worth waiting for is the Kia Sorento, which we understand could arrive around the festive season at roughly Rs 40 lakh. That might come closest to what you’re looking for, a proper global SUV with family practicality and some genuine all-road ability.
