The Renault Triber has recently introduced a turbo-petrol variant. Is Renault planning to introduce an automatic transmission option for the Triber in the near future? Please share any updates on its launch plans.

•6m

Renault hasn't officially confirmed a timeline for the Renault Triber turbo-automatic, but we expect it to be launched soon. The seven-seater MPV shares its 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and 5-speed manual gearbox with the Nissan Magnite, and like its SUV sibling, the Triber too will be offered with a CVT automatic option.

While the Triber is offered with a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT) with the naturally aspirated 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine, we'll strongly recommend you wait for the turbo-CVT for its added performance and smoothness, which is likely to deliver an effortless driving experience.

I’m 62 and retired, with a budget of around Rs 10 lakh. My usage isn’t regular: I drive in the city about ten times a month and outside the city about once a month. A manual is also fine for me. Which car offers the best value for money?

For your limited usage, the Maruti Suzuki Swift is a safe bet. It is compact, gets Maruti's strong reliability and hassle-free nature, is easy to drive in the city thanks to its dimensions and drivability and is efficient too. The Z12 engine is smooth, fuss-free and zippy in the city, while the AMT gearbox takes out the stress of gear changes in traffic. The ZXI variant will fit in your budget and comes equipped with essentials like a reversing camera to make parking a lot easier in tight spots. The Swift also has light steering, comfortable seats, and the positioning of the seats also makes it easy to get in and out of. If you still wish for a manual, the light clutch and easy-to-slot gears will impress you. Overall, for your needs, the Swift is the best option.

Should I consider purchasing Renault duster hybrid as a first time buyer? My primary requirement is decent mileage and long term reliability.

The Renault Duster hybrid is an impressive car but the hybrid variant only makes sense if you will be driving a lot more than average. If your annual coverage is over 20,000km and most of it is in the city, then the hybrid variant makes more sense financially. If the Duster is what you like, given its styling and presence, the turbo-petrol version would be better to go for. However, since mileage is a strong priority, we would recommend you to check the Maruti Suzuki Victoris instead. It is the same size as the Duster, but offers better efficiency and comes with the reliability of Maruti. It is hassle-free, easy on the pocket and the vast service network and low part price also makes for a better case. The styling is not as bold as the Duster, but for your needs, the high mileage, easy-to-drive nature and reliability makes it a better choice.

I am planning to buy either Kia Seltos HTX ivt or Tata Sierra EV empowered 75. Since there is concern on petrol availability/pricing and ethanol blending in the future, which option would be better for our monthly usage of around 500km within the city which will also include 2 trips outside the city every year. If I take Seltos, I am concerned about its resale value in 5 to 10 years and more for an EV as it is more expensive as compared to Deltos and its infrastructure problems. What do you suggest?

Go for the Kia Seltos HTX IVT. Your usage pattern of around 500km a month in the city with only two outstation trips a year does not justify the premium of the Tata Sierra EV Empowered 75. The Seltos IVT is a smooth, refined and reliable petrol automatic that will handle your city driving effortlessly, and Kia’s service network and ownership experience are strong. Concerns about petrol availability and ethanol blending are largely overblown - E20-compliant engines are designed to handle the fuel, and there is no official roadmap beyond E20 at this stage. The Sierra EV is a very impressive product with a premium cabin and strong range, but it is significantly more expensive and you will not recover that premium through fuel savings at your level of usage. The Seltos is the more sensible and cost-effective choice for your requirements.

Which SUV would you pick for a family of 5?

Hi, I am planning to buy a sedan and am confused between the Volkswagen Virtus 1.5 DSG GT Chrome for Rs 21.5 lakh (June-manufactured, due for delivery in November) and the facelifted Skoda Slavia Prestige 1.5 for Rs 22.70 lakh. Is it worth paying extra for the Slavia, or should I go with the Virtus?

•3d

If you're set on the 1.5 TSI engine, the Volkswagen Virtus GT Chrome at Rs 21.5 lakh makes more sense if savings matter, while the facelifted Skoda Slavia Prestige is worth the extra Rs 1.2 lakh if you want its additional features. Unlike the 1.0 TSI versions, where the Slavia's new eight-speed torque converter automatic is a meaningful mechanical change from the older six-speed automatic, the 1.5 TSI versions retain the same basic engine and seven-speed DSG combination. So you're not paying extra for a different powertrain.The Slavia Prestige adds meaningful equipment, including a 360-degree camera, larger digital displays, ventilated and electrically adjustable front seats, and a rear-seat massage function. It also gets improved air-conditioning hardware. These are useful additions, particularly if you plan to keep the car for several years.
