The Kia Carens Clavis EV will be the better pick for your needs. It's got the better third row seating and a more user-friendly cabin. Performance is good, and ride comfort is decent despite a slight firmness in the suspension set-up. The Mahindra XEV 9S has more wow factor, is quicker accelerating and has a longer range, but isn't as good a 7 seater as the Clavis EV. Your concern about EV depreciation isn't unfounded. In the fast-evolving EV world, current hardware and tech become outdated sooner, and this is part of the reason why EVs lose value faster than ICE vehicles. If this is not a dealbreaker for you, you will find an EV to suit your needs better than an ICE car. While we'd recommend one car for the family, you could also consider the combo of a Tata Punch EV and a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga AT VXI.

Go for the Kia Carens Clavis EV. It is a fantastic, well-rounded and sensible car. Like you rightly mentioned, it offers the flexibility of seating 6 or 7 passengers occasionally, while being compact enough to drive around in town. The electric motor is very smooth (far smoother than any similarly priced ICE car), zippy, and this Kia car is very efficient.Furthermore, charging and maintenance costs will be much lower, and its comprehensive battery and motor warranty adds to the peace of mind.

The Maruti Suzuki E Vitara is a sensible electric car, backed by Nexa's widespread sales and support network. It is also equipped with a large 61kWh battery, with which you can expect a highway range of approximately 370km on a full charge - city range will be better. The interiors feel premium, performance is smooth, and its light steering and tight turning radius make it very easy to manoeuvre. That said, the E Vitara's user experience is flawed, the floor is high, which results in a knees-up seating, and its suspension isn't as sorted as some rivals.We would suggest that you consider the entry-level variants of the Kia Carens Clavis EV or Hyundai Creta Electric, both of which cover the basics well. Yes, these have a smaller 42kWh battery, but their powertrain is very efficient, which will deliver impressive real-world range. Overall, both these are excellent options for similar money as the E Vitara.

The MG Windsor EV is a good, value-for-money option in the market. Owners have been largely satisfied with their purchase, with no particular known flaw or fault with the vehicle. We suspect that the advice you've been getting seems to be hearsay rather than first-hand experience. Yes, the user-experience isn't the easiest as most functions are embedded in the rather slow touchscreen. However, this is something that, as an owner, you will get used to. What you will appreciate, though, is the sheer cab and boot space on offer, which for its price seems unmatched. Since you have a budget of Rs 20 lakh, we'd recommend you seriously consider the entry-level Kia Carens Clavis EV, which is a three-row electric MPV. It is a lot more expensive than the MG Windsor EV, but it feels more premium and more polished. You will have to reach out to a reputed specialized service provider to discuss the possibilities of modifications on either of these two cars to make them handicap-friendly.

With usage that high, especially highway usage, we do not recommend getting an electric car, at least not at present. While the need for cost savings is understandable, such high daily usage will require daily charging, which will quickly shorten the battery's life. Moreover, a 350km one-way trip will require an EV with a very long range, and most in this price bracket will not do it comfortably, so at least one charging stop is imperative.Instead, we recommend a strong hybrid SUV like the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, or if you can wait until Diwali, the new Renault Duster hybrid, as it offers the best of both worlds - low running costs as well as flexibility.If you are still set on having an EV, you would need at least a mid-size EV, such as the Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6, Hyundai Creta Electric, or Kia Carens Clavis EV, in order to have enough comfortable range, but those would be outside your budget of Rs 18 lakh.

Since your annual usage is so low, and all within the city, an electric car makes a lot of sense, both from the point of view of tax savings and due to much lower running costs. However, our advice is not to rely on the public charging network alone, and instead ensure you have a charger installed at your home or place of work, if not both. If you do have to make an occasional outstation trip, plan carefully and pick a route with multiple public chargers along the way, topping up in small amounts as you go.As for which car you should choose, there are plenty of options. If you want the best all-rounder with maximum efficiency, get the Hyundai Creta Electric. If you require more space, the Kia Carens Clavis EV is a great option. If you want ultimate value for money, try the Vinfast VF7. And if you want a dramatic and exciting EV with some compromises to practicality, check out the Mahindra BE 6.

Considering that you may occasionally need more than five seats and plan to keep the car for at least four to five years, we would recommend opting for a six or seven-seater. Because of this, the Hyundai Creta EV and the Tata Harrier EV can be ruled out, as both are strictly five-seaters.The Mahindra XEV 9S is very competitively priced and comes loaded with features. The downside is the ride quality, especially in the second and third rows. It can feel a bit too soft due to the suspension setup. This is not much of an issue in city driving, but at highway speeds on uneven surfaces, the car tends to bounce as the suspension takes time to settle.Since you had also shortlisted the Hyundai Creta EV, we would suggest taking a look at the Kia Carens Clavis EV, as it uses the same powertrain and battery. It works better as a six or seven-seater, thanks to a more spacious third row compared to the 9S, where even adults can travel in reasonable comfort. While it is not as powerful as the Mahindra XEV 9S. It still offers more than enough performance even with a full load, and the suspension feels more comfortable overall.One important thing to note is the battery size. The Clavis EV has a smaller battery pack compared to the XEV 9S. In real-world usage, the Mahindra can deliver over 450 km on a full charge. While the Clavis EV is likely to offer closer to 350 km of realistic range.

If you're happy with your 2019 Creta, the ideal switch for you will be a Hyundai Creta Electric. It's a relaxed, easy to drive and very likeable EV. Range is good, so you won't need to plug it in all that often, and there's ample boot space too. However, we would urge you to try fitting your golf set into be absolutely sure. Alternatively, you could look at the Kia Carens Clavis EV. It's got the same attributes as the Creta Electric (the two models are related) with the added flexibility of a third row of seats. With the last row of seats folded, your golf set should fit comfortably in the vehicle.

Your annual mileage of 12,000 km is not very much, and it will take years to recover the higher purchase price of an electric car. Plus, the depreciation of an EV after 10 years is likely to be quite poor. Still, EVs have other benefits, such as almost zero pollution, a smooth, effortless driving experience, and ultra-low running costs. If you have a charging station at home and are doing a round trip of around 300-400km on the highway, an EV makes more sense.Between the Kia Carens Clavis EV and the Hyundai Creta Electric, the Clavis is a more spacious car, offers a third row, and is cheaper too. This is a good option and our pick over the Creta, which isn’t as functional as the Carens Clavis. The only reason to buy the Creta EV is its superior range, which is crucial for long-distance driving.

Since you are able to purchase a new Kia Seltos or Carens Clavis EV, we would suggest you not look at a used Tata Harrier or XUV700, as these are quite close in size, performance and features. If you are buying used, it makes sense to get something from two segments above. As to your query about a diesel or electric, yes, both are not likely to have a high resale value. There's certainly a cloud over diesel's long term future, and the pre-owned EV market is too nascent to judge future potential. We would, however, recommend the EV as you will be keeping your car for about 10 years, and in that time with your running you would save on fuel bills. Between the Hyundai Creta electric and the Clavis EV, we would suggest the Kia as it's very similar mechanically. But also offers you the benefit of the third row of seats, which is quite spacious and usable.
