Trending Questions on Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am planning to upgrade from my 2021 Toyota Urban Cruiser petrol manual, which has covered 41,000 km. I want a comfortable five-seater that can occasionally accommodate seven people. I have shortlisted the Mahindra XUV 7XO, but I am confused between the petrol and diesel versions. I definitely want an automatic. I live in Bangalore, which is one of the reasons I chose the XUV 7XO because it gets a torque-converter automatic. I don't want the Kia Carens Clavis because of its DCT gearbox, and I am also not considering the Tata Safari because of my concerns about Tata's service experience. My monthly running will be around 1,000-1,500 km, mostly with my family. Fuel efficiency is also important, as I feel the XUV 7XO petrol could be quite fuel-hungry. I am therefore considering the diesel automatic AX7T. There will be some city driving, but my office commute also includes highway stretches, which should help with DPF regeneration. Please suggest which one I should buy. If the XUV 7XO is not the right choice, should I consider another family car or wait for any upcoming launches?
Go for the Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel automatic AX7T. Your usage pattern of 1,000-1,500 km a month with a mix of city and highway driving makes the diesel the better choice, especially since your office commute includes highway stretches that will help keep the DPF system healthy. The XUV 7XO diesel is also significantly more fuel-efficient than the petrol, which is important given your running.The torque converter automatic is smooth and well suited to Bangalore traffic, and this Mahindra car is a genuinely comfortable 5-seater with the flexibility of occasional 7-seat use. There are no major upcoming launches in this segment that would justify waiting. The XUV 7XO diesel automatic is the right upgrade from your Urban Cruiser and will serve your family well for years to come.
Hi, I want to buy an automatic car under a budget of Rs. 13.5 - 14.5 lakh. I want a low maintenance car that offers best mileage in this range and has hassle free service. My daily commute is around 30-40km. Sometimes, I also do highway driving. My options include Nexon Creative DCA petrol, Kia Sonet HTK Plus Diesel, Hyundai Venue HX 5 Turbo DCT and Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi AT?
Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi AT as it best fits your priorities of low maintenance, good mileage and hassle-free service. The Brezza is the most reliable and stress-free option out of all the cars you've mentioned. Maruti's service network is unmatched, running costs are low and the naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with the 6-speed torque converter automatic is smooth, proven and well-suited to your running. It is not the most feature-rich car in this list, but it is the one you will own with the least headaches.The Brezza VXi AT is the sensible, low-stress choice that will keep you happy over the long term.
I own a Tata Altroz DCA Petrol and have been driving it for almost one year. It has completed 30,000 km. I want to upgrade to a diesel automatic and have shortlisted the Sierra and Curvv. I need your help for choosing the best one and even suggestions about other models.
Given your usage of 30,000 km in a year, a diesel automatic is the right move, and both the Tata Sierra and Tata Curvv are strong options. The Sierra is the better choice if you priorities space, comfort and a more premium cabin experience. It offers a larger, more comfortable rear seat, a more spacious boot and a more relaxed long-distance touring character. There's also a lot of new features and tech with the Sierra, though on the higher trims. The Curvv, appeals with its coupe like styling but the trade-off is that it is not as spacious or as comfortable for rear-seat passengers. Between the two, the Sierra is also likely to hold on to its resale value better and it is the one we would lean towards.
Hi Auto Experts, I’ve been using a diesel Swift for around 10 years, followed by a Marazzo for the last 8 years. I’m now planning to change my car and move to an automatic. My requirements: Annual usage: around 10,0001-2,000 km Includes a couple of long highway trips every year I really like the driving experience and highway performance of diesel cars, so a diesel AT is my preference. Usually 4-5 people, with occasional 6-person trips. Looking for a car that I can keep for 81-0 years. Safety is important to me. Good highway comfort, stability and long-distance reliability are priorities. I’m currently confused between available SUVs and MUVs and would appreciate suggestions from experts. My budget is below 25L.
Given your usage and preferences, the Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel automatic is the most sensible recommendation. You are coming from a Marazzo and have enjoyed diesel highway performance, so the 7XO is a natural upgrade. This Mahindra car offers a strong diesel engine, a comfortable ride, good highway stability and a genuinely spacious cabin with a usable third row for those occasional 6-person trips. It is also one of the few diesel automatics available today that fits comfortably within your budget.
I'm in planning to buy a reliable and comfortable car for 4 members with more than 400 litre of luggage space for 70% city and 30% highway use with a peppy engine. I live in a big city and am looking to replace the S-Cross petrol AT. I am open to automatic variant for a petrol or diesel engine. Do I have any luck?
Yes, you have a few good options. The Kia Seltos 1.5 petrol CVT would be the best fit if you want a comfortable, reliable automatic with a peppy-enough engine and a genuinely useful boot. At 447 litres, it comfortably exceeds your 400-litre requirement, while the naturally aspirated petrol-CVT combination is well suited to your 70% city usage.The Hyundai Creta 1.5 petrol CVT is another strong option. Its 433-litre boot meets your requirement and it offers a particularly comfortable ride, making it a good replacement for the S-Cross. However, the Seltos is slightly more spacious and its interior feels a little more upmarket and premium.If performance is a higher priority, the Seltos 1.5 turbo-petrol DCT is worth considering. However, the higher price and DCT's less relaxed nature in predominantly city traffic make the CVT the better fit for your usage.A diesel automatic doesn't make much sense for your usage unless your annual running is substantially higher than it appears.
