Fallback ad for 970x90

I have just learned to drive and am buying my first car. My usage will be about 30 km daily in the city and one 500 km (one-way) trip each quarter, mostly on the highway. My priorities are safety, then cabin comfort (good seats, rear AC vents), and then mileage. Diesel is not an option. I’m deciding between the Mahindra 3XO and the Tata Nexon and am leaning toward the Nexon Pure+ S CNG. Please advise.

If you've got your heart set on the Tata Nexon iCNG, go for it. It is a very practical car, and the variant that you've selected spells good value for money. 

The turbo-petrol-CNG combination is quite smooth, and performance is respectable too. Do keep in mind that if your daily commute includes frequent stop-and-go traffic, city efficiency could be on the lower side - around 13.4km/kg; however, on the open road, you could easily achieve around 24km/kg.

I have shortlisted the Innova HyCross Hybrid and the XEV 9S. Please advise which one I should buy. My usage is mostly city driving with occasional long trips.

The Toyota Innova HyCross is a good option for you. It is spacious, comfortable, and its strong hybrid powertrain will deliver an efficiency of around 13kpl in the city and 16kpl on the highway. Also, as a 7-seater, it is more comfortable, with ample space for adults in all three rows. Its ride quality is impressive in the city, and out on the highway too.The Mahindra XEV 9S is much better equipped in comparison, and on account of its pricing, it is a better value for money. But while the XEV 9S is comfortable in the city, its ride feels a bit bouncy on the highway, and space in the third row is much tighter than the Hycross. Hence, as a 7-seater, the Toyota car is the one to go for.
