Since you've said that this bike will be used mainly for touring and occasionally in the city, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 makes more sense over the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. That's because the Scrambler's shorter gearing will result in the engine feeling like its running out of breath past 100kph and also because the Himalayan is a more spacious machine that was purpose-built to cover long distances. Royal Enfield's service experience varies from city to city and, in fact, even person to person. So we would advise you to pay a visit to your nearest authorised dealer and service centre to get a clearer picture.You should also take a look at the KTM 390 Adventure X because it has good road manners and will be the quickest bike of these three. It also comes standard with cruise control, which will be a boon for you on long days in the saddle. In fact, if you don't want tall motorcycles, the KTM 390 Duke will make for a good touring partner, and you'll have way more fun on twisty roads, although you will sacrifice some comfort compared to the ADVs.A test ride should help you make a decision.

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) is a set of safety features that can help prevent accidents. These include features like lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking.While the government is considering making ADAS mandatory for all new cars, there is no clarity on when this will happen. And even if a regulation mandating ADAS were enacted, cars without it would not be affected or banned. There is nothing like an 'ADAS-only' highway being considered. Future highways will be designed and constructed to optimise ADAS performance, but even cars without ADAS can still use them. We always recommend buying a car with ADAS if you can afford it because it is an important piece of active safety that could be a life-saver in certain emergencies.

Since your priorities revolve around space - both for 5 passengers and in the boot - of these, you should choose the MG Hector. It might not be the most engaging to drive, but it absolutely aces the requirements of space and comfort. It is a big vehicle with a relatively short bonnet, which means the cabin size is very large, and this is utilised well both in the back seat and in the boot, which stands at a cavernous 587 litres! Moreover, the MG Hector is very comfortable over poor roads, and makes for a great chauffeur-driven vehicle. Do note, however, that if you choose the petrol engine, fuel economy is very poor; the diesel is much better in this respect. Though your usage is quite low, since you do occasional highway runs, we recommend you stick with an ICE SUV for the moment.
