I want to buy a five-seater SUV with good fuel efficiency and the latest features. I’m open to petrol or hybrid variants, and my budget is ₹20–25 lakh. Which should I choose?

Asked by: Pankaj

You should consider buying the Maruti Suzuki Victoris. It falls within your budget, and it's got an efficient, strong hybrid powertrain that's claimed to do 28.65kpl.

The Victoris also comes packed with features like a panoramic sunroof, large touchscreen, ventilated front seats and more. What's nice is that the Maruti Victoris has also received a full, 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP as well as Bharat NCAP.

Asked by: Ram rishabh Which car offers the best third-row experience under ₹20 lakh — the Maruti Suzuki XL6, Kia Carens, or Hyundai Alcazar? I’m looking for comfort for an adult of height 5′4″; which has the best third-row size? Since your priority is third row space, it would come down between the Maruti Suzuki XL6 and the Kia Carens Clavis. The Hyundai Alcazar does have a third row, but it isn't as roomy as the other two. The Kia Carens Clavis has the edge when it comes to features and equipment, a plush cabin with a premium feel and a more powerful engine.However, the XL6 is an excellent value considering what it offers for the price. If you seek performance and features and don't mind paying extra, the Clavis is a very good choice.However, if you can make do without the jazzy interior and want a predominantly spacious third row, the XL6 would be a good choice.

Asked by: Nandu I want to upgrade my almost 10 year old classic 350. I'm confused about the new Triumph T4, scram 440 and the Guerrilla 440. My budget is expandable and my daily commute is around 40 km. I want a comfortable bike with minimum maintenance. My ride will mostly city with occasional highway touring. My main priority is comfort and ride quality. Please suggest a good motorcycle. Of the three bikes you have shortlisted, we would suggest you choose between the Triumph Speed T4 and the Royal Enfield Scram 440. These two will be more comfortable, although the Royal Enfield Guerrilla will give you more performance on the highway. Since you've already owned a Royal Enfield Classic, the latest Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic is also worth taking a good look at because they will offer you good comfort and ride quality - both of which are important to you. You can alternatively also look at the Honda CB350 models because they are comfortable, smooth, well-built and torquey. A test ride of your shortlisted bikes will help you decide which is the best option for you.

Asked by: Yash sahane I plan to purchase a new bike soon. I recently read reports that Triumph may launch a Speed 350 model in India around April 2026. Should I buy the Speed 400 now or wait a bit longer for the Speed 350? Bajaj has decided to downsize the 400cc Triumph and KTM models in India to ensure these bikes attract a lower 18 percent GST in comparison to the 40 percent tax attracted by machines over 350cc in accordance with the government's GST 2.0 regulation. The Speed 350 should be very similar in terms of its mechanics to the 400 - save for the smaller engine and slightly lower performance - and will most likely have a more competitive price as well. If you don't want to miss out on having a 40hp, 400cc bike, then you should buy the Speed 400 before it is replaced by a slightly smaller machine.

Asked by: Hemanth K S My wife and I both currently ride an 11-year-old Yamaha FZ. She is 5′3″ and I am 5′8″; both of us weigh over 90 kg. I don’t feel confident that this bike is safe and responsive enough — it needs a lot of throttle, is hard to manoeuvre in traffic, and handles pothole-ridden city roads poorly, especially for pillion riding. I also have back issues. What would be the ideal bike for us to upgrade to so we can ride together comfortably, mainly in the city with potholes and occasionally on the highway? Bikes you should take a look at are the Royal Enfield Hunter / Classic / Bullet / Meteor 350, Scram 440, TVS Ronin and Honda CB350 trio. All have smooth, torque-rich engines, comfortable seats for two passengers and great suspension comfort. These factors will help you on both broken city roads and open highways. We would recommend you take a test ride of all machines with your wife so as to ascertain which one is best for you.
