Will the Ford Everest launch in India in the upcoming 1-2 years, as I am interested in purchasing it?

The return of the Ford Endeavour in India as the Ford Everest was very much part of Ford's plans two years ago. Ford still has its plant outside Chennai, and the plan was to make EVs and locally assemble the Everest.
However, we understand that Ford has put all its India plans on hold following the geopolitical uncertainty surrounding tariffs and, lately, the US-India FTA, the details of which are not finalised. Until there is clarity on policy, it is unlikely that Ford will give the green light for the Everest, but at the same time, the Everest launch plan is on hold and not ruled out completely.

I currently own a Land Rover Defender and really enjoy its styling and versatility. Lately, though, I’ve been wondering if there are SUVs that deliver a more premium and luxurious cabin experience. I’ve looked at the Range Rover Sport and the Lexus LX, but I’m unsure if they would feel like a meaningful upgrade. What SUVs would you suggest for someone who wants luxury, comfort, and a strong road presence?

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport would be a good switch from the Defender. Where the Defender has rugged appeal, the Range Rover Sport is properly posh. The classy design stands out, and the minimalist interior has a very different vibe from the Defender.Other alternatives include the BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS. Further up the price ladder, there's the Mercedes-Maybach GLS and Range Rover.The Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Lexus LX are also big on price and presence, but are not as comfortable as the options listed above.

I need a 7-seater family car under a ₹16-17 lakh budget with safety and mileage for medium running. Ertiga, XL6, Clavis, Scorpio N, etc. I want to invest in only one car for long-term, 10+ year use. Please suggest.

The Kia Carens Clavis would be a good option for you. The insides and comfy, and the third row is spacious for two adults and has AC vents as well as type C ports for charging. With three rows up, there's also a fairly useable 216-litres of boot space, and there is some more space under the boot floor too.Kia cars have proven to be quite reliable, and this would serve you well since you plan to keep it for a long time. The car is well-equipped with a host of safety features that are standard, and since mileage is also your priority, we would suggest you opt for the diesel or the naturally aspirated (non-turbo) 1.5-litre petrol engine.

I need a car within ₹10 lakh on-road in Bangalore. 80-90% city usage and 10-20% highway. It should have all the necessary features, inside and outside. It should be comfortable for my parents, with low maintenance, tension-free and reliable ownership. Occasionally, I may use it for long trips as well. This is my first car, and I am a new driver, so an automatic is better.

We would recommend you take a look at the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. Being a Maruti car, it will meet your requirements of being low on maintenance and generally tension-free. The car is also slightly higher off the ground compared to sedans and hatchbacks at this price, and thus, this will offer an easy entry and exit for your parents. Rear seat head and legroom are also good, and for two adults, the rear is very spacious and a comfortable place to be in.The Fronx fits within the 'small car' definition as it measures less than 4-meters in length, thus it is very manageable in crowded city conditions. For your few highway trips, too, you will find the handling secure, and the car remains planted at regular highway speeds.
