    I am looking to buy a motorcycle for the long term. My daily usage will be limited (short rides within the city) and occasionally on the highway. I’m inclined towards the TVS Ronin because of its value-for-money factor. Which bike should I buy?

    Asked by: Deepak kumar

    The TVS Ronin is a good option for your needs, and you can even look at the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 - both are comfortable, relaxed roadsters which will be good on the highway. If you're open to ADVs, something like the Hero Xpulse 210 will also be a credible option, and it fits inside your budget, too.

    Asked by: Aniruddha Naik Hi team, I am planning to buy a new car next year. I currently own a Kia Sonet GTX Plus and now want to move to a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder engine option. My budget is around ₹30 to 35 lakh maximum. I want strong performance, a good suspension setup, good handling and, most importantly, comfort for rear passengers and long drives. Kindly suggest which SUVs fit my budget. I have shortlisted the Jeep Compass Model S for its 4x4 option and the Mahindra XUV700 for its AWD option. I am open to other suggestions as well. The Jeep Compass Model S is the more premium option, with a higher-quality interior and stronger badge value. However, it's also quite a bit more expensive when you consider the top 4x4 version, and most of all, for your requirements, the rear seat isn't all that spacious.You should definitely go with the Mahindra XUV700 AWD, as it offers more space in the back as well as more features. Its 2.2-litre diesel engine is strong (and so is the 2.0 petrol, in case you're interested), and ride quality and handling are very good too.If you can wait a little bit, a facelifted version of the XUV700 is arriving in early 2026, which should be improved in many areas, especially when it comes to features. In the meantime, check out our Tata Harrier vs Mahindra XUV700 vs Jeep Compass video.

    Asked by: Alex S I'm looking to upgrade my 2016 Celerio (manual) to a non-Maruti non-AMT automatic in the next 1 or 2 years within a budget of 12-15 lakhs on road. My usage would be 1000km monthly (80% city and 20% highways) plus occasional highway trips. My priorities are hassle-free maintenance & service experience, good resale value, mileage, driving comfort, lower NVH levels, jerk-free transmission, driver handrest, wireless Android auto, height adjustable ventilated seat, 360 camera. No sunroof. Please suggest. In 1 to 2 years, there would be differences from what is available in the segment today. However, based on what's likely to be around, we would recommend you look at the Hyundai Venue, which meets your requirements of a good service experience, good resale value and being feature-packed.

    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.
