    I’m 6'1", 46 years old with a large body type, and I currently ride a Hero Honda Hunk. I want a comfortable, quiet bike with low vibration that won’t aggravate my knee pain when bending. My use is mainly city riding with occasional long rides - please suggest suitable models.

    Asked by: Atul

    Since you've come from a Hero motorcycle, you could stay with that brand and look at the Xpulse 210, which will be peppy, comfortable and fuel efficient. If you want to look elsewhere, the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 or the Honda CB350 models make for comfortable, easy-going machines with a thumpy engine and old-school looks.

    Asked by: Mahaboob Ali Hello Autocar, I want to replace my existing Chevrolet Sail diesel 1.3 with a new car. My daily commute is 40 km, covering both highway and city driving. I have shortlisted the Brezza ZXi and Victoris LXI petrol. Which one is more suitable for me? I am concerned about safety and mileage. Please suggest. If you're okay with missing out on certain feel-good features like a sunroof, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris suits your needs better. The Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Victoris are both powered by the same 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine.The Victoris petrol-MT has a claimed fuel efficiency of 21.18kpl, and what's nice is that it has received a full, 5-star safety rating from both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP.

    Asked by: Jagdish Sharma I drive less than 200 km a month, and my current Nexon (petrol) has run only 40,000 km in 7 years. I want to upgrade and keep my next car for at least 7-8 years. I can wait until 2027 or 2028, as there is no urgent need. We are a small family of two adults and a 10-year-old child. My heart says sedan, but I am open to other body styles. My priorities, in order, are safety, comfort, style, AWD and a brand with good service and maintenance. My budget is within ₹1.5 crore. I like the upcoming Tesla S, Volvo S90/ES90 and Lexus 350h. If Ford launches the Mustang, then only Mustang. While 2027/28 is a long time away, and it's near impossible to gauge which launches will happen then, unfortunately, most of the cars you have listed are unlikely to be launched in India. This is simply because sedans, of which you are a fan, are not as popular anymore, and small-volume brands like the ones you have listed - Tesla, Volvo, Lexus and even Ford at this stage - are unlikely to take a risk launching a new sedan in an SUV-heavy market like ours.Of the lot, the most likely is the next-gen Lexus ES, which is a unique and tech-laden hybrid or EV alternative to the established luxury sedan set. It meets all your requirements, including an AWD option, though it remains to be seen the specification Lexus chooses for India. Lexus cars are known for their reliability and relatively low maintenance costs, so keeping the car for 7-8 years should not be a problem.

    Asked by: Pendurthi Prasan I own a Dzire petrol car and want to replace it with a new petrol car. Please suggest the best petrol car in the ₹10-12 lakh range. Without knowing your exact requirements, it would be hard to recommend one. If you've had a good experience with your Maruti Dzire, it might be worth considering the new-gen Dzire, which comes feature-packed. It also has received a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. Plus, this Maruti car also gets a smooth and efficient 1.2-litre petrol engine that can be had with either a 5-speed manual or AMT auto gearbox options.If you prefer a hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20 are good options in this budget. As for compact SUVs, there are a plethora of options available like the Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, and more.
