Trending Questions on Cars under ₹25 Lakh - Answered by Autocar Experts

•4h

I currently own a Tata Manza Diesel, and our car has been amazing so far, (clocked in 2L+ km) but we are planning to buy a new one under a budget of Rs. 25 lakh that is a step up from Manza in all areas. We are a family of four, but occasionally 5 passengers travel in the car. So, we want a car with a comfortable 2nd row that fits three occupants. We want a car with 600L+ big boot space (preferably) measured by depth instead of height. Our daily running is mostly within the city, but we like to drive, so occasional highway trips are always going to be on the cards. Between the powertrains, we prefer diesel, but are open to electric as well since we have a parking spot where we can easily install a charging point. Our shortlisted cars so far include XEV 9e and Kia Seltos.

I am 6 feet 3 inches tall and I’ve been struggling to fit in a car in which I can sit comfortably without the steering wheel hitting my knees. I drove a Tata Zest for 11 years and have recently sold it. With a tight budget of Rs. 18 - 20 lakh (on-road) , I need a good car for my everyday office drive with good fuel efficiency. I drive around 20 km up and down everyday mostly within the city. Please suggest a good car that I can try out.

The Mahindra Scorpio 7XO AX7L version is a better choice, especially without ADAS. It hits the sweet spot for an upgrade.

Good car. Pros: Nice design and interior, next-gen electric vehicle, best in its segment, good performance, low maintenance, awesome road presence, safer than my previous car. Charge time is about 60 hours for 80%. Cons: Build quality is similar to Maruti e-Vitara, needs improvement, and it's priced over 8 lakh for the same platform as e-Vitara. Real range is around 330 km on a single charge, which is less than expected.

Test drove the EV, at Jubiliant motors BG Road Bangalore, got the vehicle within 30mins for TD, easy to handle vehicle, didn't feel bulk of the vehicle on the move, looks will last for years as the lines and crease are straight and will keep the SUV ish look through out, vehicle have balanced proportions unlike, Vfast MPV7, Carens clavis, as expected vehicle felt nervous over potholes and speed bumps and road stripes, (Hope MG JSW Will sort this out before deliveries) cabin felt good cs of the fresh interior colour and minimal control buttons, impressed with unique underbelly camera feature which MG installed for stray animal safety. Floor it with sports mode at your own risk as the steering need immediate attention, however felt MG representatives are trying to demarket BAAS rental system over outright purchase, which i felt for a corporate guy makes more sense, and battery is offered with 15 Years of Warranty against mfg defect. Overall, with little attention to ride quality will be a perfect fit as a pure EV family SUV. Hoping to get my car soon.

The Innova Crysta is really a gem of an MPV car. It is very luxurious and comfortable with one of the most reliable engines. Its overall driveability is superior. However, it has a downside with its taxi looks and it misses an automatic transmission.
