Questions you may find useful

I’m looking for a family car for five people with a comfortable rear seat, strong driving character, and good resale value. My budget is around ₹90 lakh. I’m torn between the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Audi Q7. Please help me decide.

If your requirement is to carry five people, then the answer is definitely an SUV. While the Mercedes-Benz E Class has one of the best back seats for the money, it is designed to be best for two people and not three. The Audi Q7 is a good option, which also gives you the flexibility of a third row of seats. It's got a smooth and refined V6 petrol engine, comfortable air suspension, and though it is a bit old now, the latest update introduced about a year ago means it has most modern creature comforts. Bear in mind, however, that it is likely to go a little over your budget of Rs 90 lakh, but if you can manage the stretch, it is definitely the better choice.

I want to buy a luxury sedan for pure luxury use with an on-road budget of ₹1.3 crore. The car must have AWD, excellent rear seat comfort (with or without extended thigh support), ventilated seats for both front and rear occupants, top-level safety comparable to Volvo, Mercedes-grade technology, and low maintenance like a Lexus. I already own an Innova for highway use and a Nexon for city driving. Please suggest suitable options.

There isn’t one car that meets all your requirements, though the Mercedes-Benz E 450 4Matic comes closest. It’s got fantastic rear seats with excellent legroom, though heating and ventilation are missing. The six-cylinder petrol engine is also a highlight, delivering great performance with silky refinement. The 4Matic AWD system also adds to confidence and helps you make the most of the power.
