Hi, I own two bikes — a Honda CB300R and a Yezdi Roadster 2025. I’m planning to go on long-distance tours and want to know if the Yezdi Roadster is good enough for touring. If I were to choose one bike that’s good for everything — long tarmac rides and a bit of broken roads — which one should I go for? I’m 5.5" tall, so seat height is also an important factor. Thank you.

Of the two options you've shortlisted, the Kia Seltos HTK (O) with the CVT automatic is the better choice for you. It is more spacious and comfortable, and its powertrain is smoother and more powerful, too. Moreover, it is a newer car with a more up-market cabin, including modern tech and features. It's also far more spacious - both in the rear seat and the boot - and better for five passengers. It's an easy SUV to drive, too, with a tall seating position and good visibility.The one advantage the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder has is that its real-world fuel efficiency is a bit better. But on every other front, the Kia Seltos comes out on top.

Within your budget, and given your requirements, you should consider the VinFast VF6. It is perhaps the best VFM electric car on the market today, with even the top-spec Wind Infinity version coming in at around Rs 20 lakh, on road. Its large 59.6kWh battery has an NEDC range rating of 480km, which should easily translate to more than 300km in real-world usage. Plus, it is powerful, with 204hp on tap, and has a comfortable ride and solid feel.Moreover, this VinFast car is loaded with features, including ADAS with Level 2 autonomous driving, which is difficult to get in an electric car at your budget otherwise. And finally, the Vinfast VF6 has scored 5 stars in Bharat NCAP crash test ratings.

If your father likes the Honda Elevate, he should go ahead with it. It's a practical, reliable, no-nonsense SUV that gets its fundamentals absolutely right; it merely lacks a bit of flash value compared to rivals. It perfectly suits your requirements of comfort, reliability, ease of driving around town, and SUV-like feel. Moreover, it's got one of the best naturally aspirated petrol engines in the segment, which is equal parts efficient, relaxed and fun, and it's mated to a smooth CVT automatic.As for the Renault Duster, it does seem like a good choice on paper. It does fulfill your requirements of a tall seating stance and commanding feel, but other than that, it is an unknown quantity - especially in terms of ease of city driving and reliability. We would recommend going ahead with the Honda Elevate.

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is due for a facelift, given that the current model has been on sale since 2022. However, it is not expected to arrive anytime soon.
