I have a Skoda Yeti 2017, last batch with 130k on the odometer. It is my daily driving car. My running is 80 km a day on the highways. For the past few days, I’ve been having an itch to upgrade to a diesel automatic, but I couldn’t find a proper replacement for the Yeti under ₹35 lakh. The question is, should I retain the Yeti for a few more years or replace it soon?

The Skoda Yeti was a unique and very special SUV, and there's nothing quite like it on the market anymore. In fact, the entire Rs 30-40 lakh space is virtually empty at the moment, with only a few electric cars filling it, and diesel options on the whole are becoming fewer by the day.
You should definitely retain the Yeti for as long as you can, but with the knowledge that it will become more difficult and expensive to maintain with each passing year. 130,000km is a lot of mileage, and the model has long been discontinued globally, after all.
Your best bet in that price range that will give you something close to that tough, adventurous feel the Yeti was so good at delivering is the Jeep Meridian. Like the Yeti, it feels solid yet luxurious, has a strong diesel engine and comes with the option of 4x4; the advantage here is that it gets an automatic option as well.

Asked by: Anil R Paison Mar 2, 2026

Is buying a Jeep Compass diesel automatic a good decision, especially considering that the company is offering an assured buyback option of 60 percent after 3 years or 30,000 km and 55 percent after 4 years or 40,000 km?

Several more affordable SUVs on sale are far more modern, refined, comfortable and with better performance than the Compass, which makes Jeep's pricing hard to justify. 

Yes, the Jeep is an excellent long-distance cruiser; it is well-equipped, too, and if you are absolutely smitten by the Jeep Compass, the attractive buyback plan is something you could opt for.

However, if you are not a die-hard Jeep fan and are open to options, you could consider a Mahindra XUV 7XO or Tata Harrier instead.

Asked by: Manoj Taleleon Mar 2, 2026

I want to buy a 7-seater car and am confused between the Jeep Meridian and the Toyota Innova Hycross. Could you please explain the pros and cons of both models and help me decide which one would be the better choice?

Both are very different cars, so the choice really depends on what you want from your 7-seater.

The Jeep Meridian is a proper SUV. It feels solid, has excellent ride quality, and really shines on broken roads and highways. The 2.0-litre diesel paired with the 9-speed automatic is relaxed and effortless at cruising speeds, making it a very good long-distance tourer. It also feels more planted and confidence-inspiring at higher speeds. However, the third row is tight and best suited for kids, and overall space isn’t as generous as the Toyota.

The Toyota Innova Hycross, on the other hand, is more urban in nature. It’s powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine, with a strong hybrid option that delivers excellent fuel efficiency in city use. It’s significantly more spacious, especially in the second and third rows, and comfort is a big highlight. For family use and city driving, it feels easier and lighter to live with. Long-term ownership peace of mind is also a big plus, thanks to Toyota’s strong reliability reputation.

To sum up; 
Go for the Meridian if you enjoy driving, do long highway trips and want that SUV feel.
Take the Hycross if space, comfort, efficiency and hassle-free ownership matter more, especially for urban use.

I own a 2011 Vento 1.6 MPI. In a few years, I want to upgrade to a bigger SUV like the Kodiaq, Meridian, or a pre-owned 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan. Which one will be more reliable and offer a peaceful after-sales experience? I live in Pune, so the service network is good for most brands. If buying new, I have the Citroen C3 Aircross in mind.

Finding a genuinely good, sparingly used example of the Jeep Meridian, Skoda Kodiaq, or Volkswagen Tiguan isn’t always easy. These are relatively expensive SUVs, and many owners tend to keep them. If you do find a 2024 model with low kilometres, full service history and no accident record, reliability shouldn’t be a major concern. They’re still relatively new and based on proven platforms and engines.
Between the three, VW and Skoda’s dealer networks tend to be more consistent than Jeep’s when it comes to the aftersales experience. Since you’re in Pune, network strength isn’t a problem, but service attitude and technical depth do matter, especially with turbo-petrol, DSG-equipped European SUVs. On that front, the Kodiaq and Tiguan usually inspire a bit more confidence. Ultimately, though, condition, service history and how the previous owner has treated the car should be your top priority when buying pre-owned.
For peace of mind, you could also explore our partner channel Spinny, which has a good reputation for selling quality pre-owned vehicles that have been inspected and come with warranty support. That reduces risk compared to buying from an unknown individual seller.
If you’re considering a new one instead, the Citroen Aircross is a very different proposition. It’s not in the same league as the Kodiaq or Tiguan in terms of outright performance, cabin plushness or road presence. Performance, too, is not in the same league.
That said, buying new has its own advantages - full warranty, zero history risk and predictable maintenance. If you’re happy with the space and don’t mind that it’s not as premium or powerful as the larger German SUVs, it can be an easy car to live with.
One word of caution: Citroen dealer experience can vary. If you find yourself having to chase the dealership repeatedly just to get a test drive or basic information, take that as a red flag.

Asked by: Abinashon Feb 5, 2026

I have recently purchased a Tata Punch and am very satisfied with the car. Previously, I owned a Dzire and a Honda Civic. Now, I am planning to buy a German car, and my budget will be around ₹50 lakh (on EMI). I am confused about which one to go for. Since this budget puts me close to the premium car market in India, I have shortlisted brands like the Jeep Meridian, VW Tayron, Fortuner, etc. My priorities are good mileage (expecting at least 15 kmpl), top-notch performance, luxury seating and comfort, and decent looks. The powertrain would be petrol manual only. Please suggest a suitable choice.

Unfortunately, none of the cars here meet your requirement of a minimum mileage of 15 kpl, and none of them offer a manual transmission with their petrol engines. In fact, the Jeep Meridian is a diesel-only SUV and does not come with a petrol engine option.
If you are flexible on mileage and don’t mind going for an automatic, we would recommend the newly launched Volkswagen Tayron. It is the best of the lot: the most engaging to drive, with a fantastic cabin, and powered by a strong and smooth 2.0 litre turbo petrol engine.
The R-Line variant of the Tayron will be well above your budget, but the standard trim, expected to arrive in April, should be closer to your ₹50 lakh budget.

Asked by: Sateesh Gottumukkalaon Jan 28, 2026

I am in a dilemma about buying a new car with a budget of ₹30-40 lakh. My usage will be 60% city and 40% highway. I am okay with either a 5-seater or a 7-seater with the last row folded. I am considering the Jeep Meridian, Mahindra XUV 7XO, and Tata Harrier. Please suggest which one I should choose.

While you can buy both the Tata Harrier/Safari or Mahindra XUV 7XO in that budget, since your budget ceiling is higher at Rs 40 lakh, why not consider the Jeep Meridian, which is a superior vehicle overall. It is larger, has a more luxurious interior and better badge value, plus, should you ever need it, solid off-road ability too. 

Its third row is not as spacious as the Safari's, but now that it is equipped with a sliding second row, adjustments can be made. If you can somehow stretch your budget past Rs 40 lakh, an even better option is the Skoda Kodiaq

Asked by: Lakshmi Kumaron Jan 22, 2026

Looking to buy an SUV. Which among these (Innova HyCross, XUV 7XO, Skoda Kodiaq, and Jeep Meridian) has the best ride comfort, road handling, better suspension, and a comfortable third row?

It is a very close call between the cars you have shortlisted, given your requirements. Between the XUV 7XO, Skoda Kodiaq, and Jeep Meridian, the differences are fairly marginal. The Jeep Meridian and the Kodiaq do feel more premium in terms of interior material quality and fit and finish compared to the 7XO, although the 7XO, especially after the recent facelift, is not far behind. It also offers more features than the other two, is more spacious, and benefits from an updated suspension that has addressed one of the earlier XUV700’s biggest drawbacks: suspension noise.
In terms of powertrains, the Mahindra impresses with both petrol and diesel options paired with automatic gearboxes. Its 2.0-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines are genuinely world-class, adding to the overall upmarket feel. However, one area where the Mahindra XUV 7XO, as well as the Kodiaq and Meridian, falls short is third-row comfort. In all three cars, the third row is best suited for children. The 7XO also misses out on a sliding middle row, which would have significantly improved third-row usability.
If third row comfort is a priority, the Toyota Innova HyCross makes the most sense. It offers a comfortable ride, is easy to drive despite its size, and has by far the most usable third row among your shortlisted options, with enough space for adults on longer journeys. Its hybrid powertrain also delivers excellent efficiency. Do keep in mind, however, that compared to the others, the interior does not feel as premium, and sound insulation at highway speeds could have been better.

Asked by: Anirudha Aiyeron Jan 18, 2026

So, I have two options shortlisted in my list. One is a well-maintained 2022 Jeep Meridian Limited (O) for ₹22 lakh. It has a clean service and insurance history. The other is considering a new car. I’m someone who values driving pleasure more than outright practicality. What would you suggest for someone who’s going to driving 60% city & 40% highway?

The Jeep Meridian's build, quality and ride-handling balance are excellent, and the price at which you're getting a well-maintained used example seems fair. Do keep in mind that the Meridian's diesel engine isn't very refined, and it can feel a bit sluggish within urban confines.
Alternatively, you could consider the 2.0 TSI versions of the Volkswagen Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq, which are great driving cars. Their petrol version delivers strong and smooth performance, something that you are likely to appreciate. Both of these cars are available with a very competent 2.0 diesel engine, although these will be 5-year-old or older examples.
If you want a new SUV, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is a great option. And, in case you're open to electric cars, the Mahindra XEV 9e is one you will enjoy driving.

Asked by: Jagmeet Singhon Jan 18, 2026

I want to upgrade to an SUV and am confused between the Jeep Meridian, Skoda Kodiaq, and BMW X1. Should I choose one of these models or consider some other car?

Each of these three SUVs offers something different and also costs hugely different amounts - each one represents an increase of almost Rs 10 lakh from the other. 

The BMW X1 is the one to go for if you simply must have a luxury badge, but for the hefty price you pay, it is not very spacious, powerful or well-equipped. At the other end, the Jeep Meridian is a great value for money, and offers an upmarket cabin, a tough chassis with some off-roading ability, and decent badge value. However, its diesel engine is gruff, and space is not immense. 

The Skoda Kodiaq strikes the best balance of luxury, space, practicality, refinement and value for money - and now comes in 5- or 7-seat layouts. This should be the SUV you pick, though note that, given it is a large SUV with a turbocharged petrol engine, fuel bills can get quite high.

Asked by: Pradeep Son Jan 13, 2026

My budget is ₹30 to 35 lakh, and I prefer a diesel vehicle. Which is the best car available in this price range?

There aren't all that many diesel cars in your budget. Of the ones on sale, it's the Mahindra XUV 7XO AWD AT that comes across as the most complete. It's got a very nice diesel engine, a smooth automatic gearbox, and also gets the added ability of all-wheel drive. The updated interior also packs in loads of tech, though the over-reliance on the touchscreen takes getting used to. 
Among the other diesel options, there's the Jeep Meridian. While a more premium product than the XUV 7XO in many ways, its gentler engine tune and slow-shifting gearbox take some fun away from the driving experience. The Meridian does score with a tough feel, but you'll need to go out of budget for all-wheel driver versions. 
If you are open to electric, the Mahindra XEV 9e and XEV 9S are worth a look. Built on Mahindra's new-age EV architecture, they score high for power, refinement, and range. The 9e is the better of the two to drive thanks to a better suspension setup, while the 9S is more practical with a third row of seats.
