I'm looking to buy an EV car in the range of ₹10 lakh. My primary usage is 40 km daily travel inside the city for school pick-up and drop. Which one should I opt for?

We would suggest going for the Tata Tiago EV. It suits your usage very well because it offers more than enough real-world range for your daily running, so you will not have to worry about charging frequently. At the same time, it is easy to drive, smooth and silent, which makes school runs and city driving completely stress-free.

It also works well as a proper family car, with usable space and comfort, unlike smaller city-focused EVs like the MG Comet. Overall, it feels like a normal hatchback experience, which makes it easy to adapt to if you are switching from a petrol car.

If your usage is strictly within tight city areas and you want something even easier to park and manoeuvre, you can also consider the MG Comet EV, but it is more of a city-only car with limited practicality.

Hi, I want to buy a new car or SUV. We are a family of 4: husband, wife, and 2 kids. I live in the Uttarakhand mountains. My yearly driving is around 6-7 thousand km, as we travel from the mountains to relatives living in cities like Delhi, Kanpur, etc. The usage is mostly on highways and in hilly areas. My budget is between ₹10 lakh and ₹20 lakh. Currently, I own a Baleno Delta 2015 diesel, which has run around 1,05,000 km.

In your case, we would suggest going for the Renault Duster 1.3 turbo petrol DCT as the first choice. It suits your needs very well because it offers a strong turbo petrol engine, which makes driving in the hills much easier, especially during climbs and overtakes. At the same time, the Duster has excellent ride quality, which handles broken mountain roads and highways with equal ease. It also feels stable and confidence-inspiring at speed, which is important for your long trips to cities like Delhi and Kanpur. Overall, it will feel like a proper upgrade from your Baleno.If you are looking for something that is easier to live with, you can also consider the Hyundai Creta. It offers a very comfortable ride, a smooth driving experience and strong reliability, making it a great all-rounder.

The Hyundai Venue 1.0 Turbo DCT HX6 is a good option for your requirements. The Venue is an easy-to-drive compact SUV with a peppy engine and smooth DCT gearbox that suits your usage. It's practical too, with good space for four adults and a large enough boot. Hyundai's service is good, and you will have a stress-free ownership experience. Alternatively, you could look at the Kia Syros Turbo DCT HTK Plus. It has the same engine and gearbox as the Venue and is nice to drive. It's also got a very roomy cabin and also packs in a few more frills than the Venue HX6, such as a panoramic sunroof and a larger touchscreen. The Syros does have a slightly firm ride, but this should not be too much of a deal breaker on smooth highway roads. Kia's service is also more than satisfactory, making the Syros an easy option to recommend.

Hello, I am planning to purchase an automatic car purely for city use, with a daily running of roughly 20 km. I currently own a Maruti Suzuki Celerio AMT, which is now 10 years old, and that is the primary reason for this upgrade. My priorities are easy ingress and egress for seniors, comfort, and strong AC performance. My budget is around ₹10 lakh, which can stretch up to ₹12 lakh. I am considering the Taisor S Plus AMT, Kylaq Signature AT, Sonet HTK(O) DCT, XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT, and Venue HX5 DCT. Could you please advise which would be the best choice for my requirements?

Among your choices, the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT is a good fit for your needs. For 20km/day city use, the torque-converter automatic is smoother than the AMT in the Taisor and the DCTs in the Venue and Sonet. It is also more spacious than the Skoda Kylaq, and its tall stance makes it easier to get in and out of than the Taisor. The ride is smooth over speed breakers and potholes, and the AC cools quickly in summer.Before you make your final decision, visit the dealerships along with the seniors in your family to see which one they find most comfortable.
