If you are looking for an SUV with a good luxury feel, we would recommend that you look at the compact SUV segment instead of the mid-size market. While you will get mid-size SUVs for under Rs 15 lakh, they will all be the lower variants, which will not look or feel very luxurious. The best options here would be the Kia Seltos and the Tata Sierra. However, as we mentioned, if you do look at a segment below, you could get a Hyundai Venue, which has a very premium cabin in both look and feel and will be very well equipped too. This is the SUV we would recommend to give you that luxury feel at your price point.

There are only two options that would meet your requirements of a diesel automatic and under Rs 13 lakhs. These are the Mahindra XUV 3XO and the Tata Nexon. It would be nice to know a bit more about your requirements to pinpoint one. The Tata Nexon is a good option, as fuel efficiency is very important for you, as its efficiency is higher than the 3XO. In our real-world tests, we got an average of 18kpl for the Nexon and 15.5kpl for the Mahindra. If, however, driving pleasure and interior space are important, then you would be better off in the 3XO. The engine is refined and delivers good performance. Also, the car is spacious from inside, especially at the rear, where you will find more passenger room than in the Nexon.

Yes, the Tata Sierra will meet your requirements of safety and comfort very well. In terms of active safety, the Sierra has good grip around corners and good high-speed stability, too. The safety equipment is also elaborate with 6 airbags, electronic stability program (ESP) and after-impact braking standard across variants. The Sierra is yet to be tested at either GNCAP or BNCAP; however, Tata Motors says the car is designed for a good rating and given the company's track record, this should be the case. As for comfort, the ride quality is good, and there is ample space inside. The seats, too, are comfy and at the rear, there's enough space for three to be seated in comfort.

The River Indie is a competent product from a newly-established startup, and if you have a showroom and service center in your city, it is an EV that definitely deserves serious consideration. Given that your daily running is 30km, the Indie's range should be more than sufficient for your needs. If you are comfortable with its weight and size, then you can go ahead and buy this River scooter.
