Which car offers the best third-row experience under โน20 lakh โ the Maruti Suzuki XL6, Kia Carens, or Hyundai Alcazar? Iโm looking for comfort for an adult of height 5โฒ4โณ; which has the best third-row size?
Since your priority is third row space, it would come down between the Maruti Suzuki XL6 and the Kia Carens Clavis. The Hyundai Alcazar does have a third row, but it isn't as roomy as the other two.
The Kia Carens Clavis has the edge when it comes to features and equipment, a plush cabin with a premium feel and a more powerful engine.
However, the XL6 is an excellent value considering what it offers for the price. If you seek performance and features and don't mind paying extra, the Clavis is a very good choice.
However, if you can make do without the jazzy interior and want a predominantly spacious third row, the XL6 would be a good choice.
Iโm looking to buy a reliable seven-seater for six adults in my family. My use is moderate, about 10,000 km per year and I want a well-featured vehicle I can keep as my main car for 8โ10 years. Please suggest.
You should consider getting the Kia Carens Clavis. It's got a comfy and spacious cabin that can be had in 6 or 7 seater forms, and it comes loaded with features.
The Carens Clavis comes with three engine options - a 115hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel and a 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol. Since your yearly running isn't very high, consider getting one of the petrols.
Hi, Iโm looking for a 7-seater petrol car within a budget of โน15 lakh. Are there any options available?
Currently, there are two models that fit your requirements - the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and the Kia Carens Clavis. Both have spacious cabins that are reasonably comfortable for seven passengers, and both come with naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engines.
The Ertiga, however, will be more fuel efficient and, being a Maruti car, it'll also come with a stress-free ownership experience. The Kia car, on the other hand, offers many more features, and it can even be had with either a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol or 1.5-litre diesel engine options.
I own a Swift VXI and have clocked 86k kms in 10 years. Now I want to upgrade to a new car. Budget is 15-22 lacs. I recently drove Kia Seltos Diesel automatic and felt great. Particularly the interiors, music system features and a punchy feel with the engine. I want to travel so that's the reason I want to go for diesel. Just need to ask will there be any problem if I take out my car thrice in a week for long distances? And what are the other options available?
The Kia Seltos is a very good option, and the good news is that there is a new Kia Seltos version launching in only a few days. It is likely to carry forward the powertrain, and that means the torquey diesel engine will also be available.
The new model will also get feature additions and a fresh new look, so it's worth waiting for. Also, there is no issue with going for a long drive three times a week in your car.
In fact, since diesel cars feature a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), it is recommended to take them out on long drives and get the engine to burn off the soot collected. Driving long distances often will not cause any issues.
Iโm looking for a 7-seater EV for daily commuting and occasional long trips. My immediate family is four people, but since my extended family often visits, I need the extra seating.
The Kia Carens Clavis EV would be a great choice for you. It is hugely practical with a spacious cabin, the EV powertrain is smooth and efficient, and it isn't uncomfortably large to drive as a daily car.
It gets a feature-rich cabin, well-sorted ergonomics, comfy ride and seats and Kia's reliability and after-sales. It is a hassle-free car to own, and one that is our top recommendation.
I currently own a 2020 Tata Tiago petrol, and have driven about 100,000 km over the last five years. Iโm now looking to upgrade. I expect to drive around 1,800โ2,000 km per month. My budget is โน10-12 lakh, and Iโm considering switching to a diesel car. Given my usage, would you recommend switching to diesel or sticking with petrol - and which car should I upgrade to?
Considering your high annual usage, a diesel SUV would be a better choice for you. The Kia Sonet with a diesel engine would be a good upgrade for you. It has a torquey 1.5-litre diesel engine that is refined and has good punch on highways while also being efficient.
The 6-speed manual gearbox is slick to use, and within your budget, you can opt for the Kia Sonet HTK+ trim that gets a well-appointed cabin as well. Equipment like automatic climate control, reversing camera with sensors and a better quality interior and bigger boot tips the scales to the Sonet.
Hi, I am confused between the Kia Clavis NA and turbo petrol engine options. My monthly running is around 500 km in the city and on the highway, with a yearly long trip of around 5,000 km round trip. For long-term reliability, does the NA engine feel underpowered with a full load?
