I own a 2022 S-Cross, though it is not listed in your dropdown. I am looking to transition to an EV with a budget of around ₹20 lakh, extendable to ₹22 lakh. I need a real-world highway range of at least 400 km and prefer a spacious car similar to the S-Cross, rather than a compact SUV-based EV like the Nexon. The BE 6 is currently my choice, but my wife is not a fan of its design.
The Mahindra BE 6 has a futuristic design, and its driving manners and performance are outstanding. However, its design isn't universally appealing, cabin ergonomics and user interface are flawed, and rear seat space is compromised.
Instead, you could consider the entry-level Mahindra XEV 9S or XEV 9e, which are relatively more spacious and practical. What's more is that the XEV 9E has great discounts going on, hence you could also end up getting the mid variants at a good price.
Alternatively, in that price range, you could check out the Hyundai Creta Electric with the 51.4kWh battery - it is a fundamentally sorted EV. You can expect a real-world highway range of close to 400km, performance is good, space is excellent, and it is well-equipped too. While the Creta Electric is a car you just can't go wrong with, do keep in mind that the DC fast charging times (using a 60kW or higher charger) are much slower than the Mahindra EVs.

I am planning to buy an electric car with 80% city use and 20% highway driving. My maximum budget is ₹30 lakh. Should I buy one now or wait?
There are some interesting electric cars expected to be launched in the next few months, so if you can wait, you will get a wider choice. Cars like Honda's mid-size electric SUV and the Tata Sierra EV will arrive in the later half of 2026.
If you cannot wait until then, you could look at the Hyundai Creta Electric, which is a good all-rounder and will do well in the city and on your occasional highway runs too.

My monthly running is about 3,000 km, mostly on highways. Should I go for an EV?
Given your monthly running, yes you could opt for an EV as you would save on running costs. However there are three important things to consider.
Personal charging: You should have the option to charge at home or at your place of work. This is the most basic requirement as living fully on public charging is very challenging, given the paucity of free and operational chargers as well as the time required to charge.
The length of your journey; since you said most of you running in on highways, this is very important. Highway chargers are present but often can be occupied or even not operational, thus if your journeys are upwards of 300 kms, you will need to stop for charge with most EVs.
The route elevation; besides distance the elevation of the route is important as you can lose a lot of range with steep and long ghats.
Thus if your highway running is below 300 kms per trip with very few to nil ghat sections, you can safety opt for an EV, else you would be better off with a strong hybrid or even a diesel.

Asked by: VINAYAK SANKPALon Dec 16, 2025
Which is the best vehicle type for a daily commute of around 100 km: EV, petrol, CNG, or diesel? We undertake long drives only once every six months. Please help me choose the right car.
Given that your monthly running is quite high, we would recommend you consider an electric car. Most EVs on the market today will easily offer a range sufficient to cover your 100 km a day, and over the course of time, you will definitely save a lot in fuel bills.
However, it is very important to note that you must have access to your own charging at home or your place of work. Relying on public chargers will be difficult, given that you will have to find one vacant and working and then spend your time there.
We are unaware of your budget, but you can consider the Tata Punch EV or the Hyundai Creta Electric, both of which are good choices in their respective segments.

We own two cars: a 2024 top-line manual Taigun and a 2025 GT Line VW. My daily city run is about 70 km and my wife’s is about 40 km. Should we buy an EV given our usage, and should we consider selling one of the cars? We are doctors and both cars are great to drive, so we are unsure what makes the most sense.
Yes, the Volkswagen Taigun is a lot of fun to drive, however if you are open to going electric, you could sell one and get an EV. That way, you will still have an internal combustion car for any occasional highway trips.
Since both you and your wife's daily drive is within the city, either of you could use the EV, and range would not be an issue. Also, besides the lower running costs, you could also benefit from things like toll and parking fee waivers for EVs in certain cities.
Consider the Hyundai Creta EV, which is a no-nonsense and practical car. However, if you do want a fun-to-drive electric, check out the Mahindra XEV 9S, or even the Mahindra BE6, which is very exciting to drive but has quite a few ergonomic issues.

Asked by: Mukul Doctoron Dec 10, 2025
I am planning to buy an EV primarily for city use as a self-driver. My app runs about 600 km per month, and my budget is around ₹20 lakh (can stretch if needed). I have ruled out the BE 6 due to its rear seat, and I find the Tiago and Tigor have cheap-filling plastics inside. I am considering the Nexon or the Curve. My priorities are comfort, easy ingress and exit, reliability and good resale value. What do you recommend?
The Hyundai Creta EV would be a good choice; the ride comfort is excellent, the space inside is good, and it is very well loaded. Ingress and egress are natural and easy, and the car is very reliable with all of the powertrain as well as the body electronics well sorted. As for resale value, it's hard to predict that for any EV currently, as benchmarks have not yet been set.

Asked by: Indrajeet Singhon Dec 7, 2025
I am planning to upgrade from my Grand i10 Nios to an automatic SUV. Initially, I was inclined towards diesel vehicles for better mileage, like the Creta SX, Harrier, and HyCross GX. Recently, however, I test drove the Creta EV and MG ZS and was impressed by them as well. If I am aiming for a 400km stretch on the highway, which EV should I pick, or should I stick to diesel vehicles only? My budget is Rs 23 lakh maximum.
An electric car makes very good sense in the city, where the range isn't an issue, and the lack of a gearbox means a smooth drive in start-stop traffic. For highways, however, it's important you look at elevation as well as the total distance you will be driving.
For your 400 km trip, you would already be at the edge of the Hyundai Creta's range, and if there are steep and long hill sections, your range will drop significantly. While you will recover some of it on the return (downhill), it won't be as much as you have expended. You would thus need a charge halt to complete the trip comfortably.
If you are ok with this, we would recommend the Hyundai Creta Electric. It has the edge over the MG on real-world range, and it's a very well finished, no-nonsense EV that goes about doing its job with great effectiveness.

Hello. I currently drive a 13-year-old Honda Brio and am planning to buy a new mini-SUV or SUV with a ₹20 lakh on-road budget. My monthly running will be about 1,000-1,500 km. Which fuel type is better for long-term ownership - petrol, hybrid, or electric - and which models should I consider?
Opting for an electric SUV could be save you from a lot of uncertainties in the future around fuel mix, registration validity, etc., which might concern ICE vehicle owners.
With a budget of Rs 20 lakh, the most sensible and trouble-free EV option is an entry-level Hyundai Creta Electric. If you want space, features and a fully-loaded car, the MG Windsor EV is also a good option to consider.
The entry-level Mahindra BE 6 is a stand-out EV that also falls within your Rs 20 lakh budget.

Hi sir, I own a 2016 Hyundai Creta 1.6 diesel SX with 1.17 lakh km on the odometer. I am planning to replace it with a budget of up to ₹30 lakh. I drive 60 km on alternate days with a mix of highway and city usage. I want a vehicle with at least the same power and fuel efficiency as my current car. Also, should I consider an EV?
Considering your usage, an electric car makes a lot of sense, and within your budget, you have quite a few current and upcoming options. If you want something that feels familiar but is a proper upgrade in terms of tech, driving, and comfort, you can go for the Hyundai Creta Electric. It is powerful enough, has a good range, is creamy smooth to drive and is a well-rounded product.
If you want something larger with more range and performance, you can consider the Mahindra XEV 9e. It is more spacious, has a larger boot, a bigger battery pack that gives it a longer range, and it offers more tech as well.
If you are willing to wait a bit, the Tata Sierra EV is just around the corner, and a seven-seat version of the 9e named the Mahindra XEV 9S is coming as well.

Asked by: Sathish Kumar reddy DONAPATIon Nov 19, 2025
I have been using a diesel car for the past 10 years. My daily commute is 25 to 30 km, with occasional long drives of around 300 km once a month. I want to switch to an electric car this time. Is it a good idea to buy an EV now? I am from a Tier 3 city in Andhra Pradesh, and I like feature-rich EVs. Please suggest one around Rs 25 to 30 lakh.
An EV certainly beats a diesel when it comes to running cost and efficiency, but the biggest trade-off, especially for you, will be the long range. Diesel cars are known for their strong one-tank range and the ability to find a diesel pump almost everywhere in the country.
An EV, on the other hand, heavily relies on route planning and charging infrastructure. While the network of chargers is increasing by the day, it is still nowhere close to the availability of fuel pumps, and the charging times are a lot slower in comparison to a fill-up.
So if you need one for your daily commute, the electric car will be excellent as it is refined and cheaper to run, but for your outstation trips, you will need to do a fair bit of planning and check for chargers on your route and factor in the waiting time as well.
If you go for an EV, a home charger is absolutely essential, and it is also important to note for voltage fluctuations. Tier 3 cities usually have frequent power cuts, and high demand leads to a load on the power grids, which can mean the charger does not have enough juice to charge your car.
If everything checks out, though, the Hyundai Creta electric is an excellent package that has good range, all the essential features and is great for occasional long trips too. If not, this Hyundai car also has a very good diesel engine with the same features and equipment as the Electric, and will take away most of the EV downsides.
