I currently own a Hyundai Verna 1.5 Turbo DCT and am looking to upgrade to an executive sedan. My options include the Toyota Camry Hybrid, Audi A4, BMW 330Li, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. My usage is around 70% city driving, with an annual running of 10,000 to 15,000km. Please suggest the best option.
Out of the cars you've mentioned, the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Audi A4 are similarly priced in the mid-50 lakh, while the Mercedes C-Class and BMW 330Li are priced north of Rs 65 lakhs, which creates a huge delta in terms of pricing.
For mostly city usage, the Camry hybrid is a brilliant option. It offers a plush cabin, ride quality is extremely comfy, and being a hybrid, it will be very fuel-efficient. Its backseat feels the comfiest of the cars you've listed, too. And even though it drives well and has plenty of power on demand, the e-CVT can sound a bit strained when driven aggressively.
For similar money as a Camry (or even less after discounts), the Audi A4 gets an outstanding 2.0-litre turbo-petrol + dual-clutch automatic combination which delivers plenty of performance. Moreover, the cabin quality and overall fit-finish are a few notches above the Toyota, and its ride quality feels plush. However, its back seat isn't as comfy as the Camry, so if you are going to be regularly seated at the back, opt for the Camry hybrid instead.
Between the BMW 3-series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the BMW is more rounded. It feels nicer to drive and be driven in; cabin space is better, backseat is comfier; and its 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivers stronger performance than the C200, which gets a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol.

Which one would you suggest between the BMW 330Li, Mercedes-Benz C300 and Audi A6? I want a performance-oriented and fun-to-drive car. Rear seat space is not a priority as the car will not be chauffeur-driven, though the family will sit behind on highway drives. I am not considering the M340i due to its lack of practicality. Based on test drives, 330Li is preferred currently. Please advise.
The BMW 330Li offers a good balance between ride comfort and handling, and its 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine delivers good performance.
That said, the Mercedes C300 is great to drive, and on account of a more opulent interior, it feels a bit more special. The backseat isn't nearly as comfortable as the 330Li, and it is much more expensive than the BMW car, but if these two reasons aren't deal-breakers for you, then get the C300 - it feels sporty to drive without sacrificing the comfort you'd expect from a Mercedes-Benz car.

I want to buy a new car with a budget of ₹62 to 63 lakh. I am confused between the BMW 3 Series LWB and the Mercedes-Benz C 220d. My monthly running will be around 700-800km, mostly on highways.
Both are excellent choices, and the decision comes down to your preference. The Mercedes-Benz C 220d has a more upmarket feeling and techie cabin, with a more advanced infotainment system that is easier to use. It's also quite a sharp handling sedan if you enjoy driving yourself.
However, the BMW 3 Series LWB is also excellent to drive, and its longer wheelbase doesn't affect the dynamics all that much. Moreover, it is far superior in the back seat, thanks to that longer wheelbase, and so if you are chauffeur-driven, it is definitely the better choice.

I want to buy a Porsche GT3. I have not driven a sports car before, and I currently drive a Jeep Compass. How can I gradually move into the sports car segment?
While the Porsche 911 GT3 is a superb sports car - and will be launching in its latest 992.2 guise in early 2026 - it is perhaps too much of a handful for one's first sports car. The GT3 has lowered, firm suspension, which, while great for handling, is not comfortable and makes the car twitchy to drive, and similarly, its steering is heavy, and its power delivery is sharp.
It's a sports car you graduate to after some experience with more manageable performance vehicles, better suited to the track than the road, and worth buying once you are fully committed. Plus, at a price of Rs 3 crore, it is an expensive gateway option. It's better to start out with a more usable car, which still has strong performance, like the BMW M2, or the Mercedes-Benz CLE AMG 53.
These cars are more usable every day, while still having great flash value and strong performance. They will let you become accustomed to a greater deal of performance, and deploy it safely on the road. The GT3 can come at a later stage.

Should I buy the Mercedes C300? Backseat space is not an issue for me, and my main concern is performance.
The backseat of a C-class is its weak point, but since that is not an issue for you, you can go right ahead and buy the Mercedes C300, especially since performance is your main criterion.
The 2-litre turbo-petrol produces a meaty 258hp and can rocket to 100kph from a standstill in around 6 seconds. You will enjoy driving it, but watch out for speed breakers as the C-class is known for its low ground clearance, although it was raised a bit during its last update.

I have been using a BMW 3 GT for many years and am now planning to buy a new SUV with a budget of around ₹70 to 80 lakh. My daily commute is approximately 70 km. Could you please advise on the best option available today?
Since your daily commute is as much as 70km, you should consider a diesel luxury SUV, and there are two good options in this price range. The BMW X3 is more engaging to drive, and since you have already owned a BMW car, you will likely be familiar with the brand's aftersales and service ecosystem, and could even talk to your dealership about a loyalty benefit.
However, overall, the better SUV is the Mercedes-Benz GLC. It offers a more luxurious cabin, rear seat space, and a comfortable ride. Plus, while not quite as engaging to drive as the BMW, it's still a lot of fun from behind the wheel.

Hello Autocar India, having recently sold my Mercedes GLC, I am looking to transition to a sedan that offers superior rear-seat comfort, lower maintenance costs, and stronger resale value. My absolute priority is the rear-seat experience for my parents, specifically a model with significant power-recline and a smooth ride. Considering the Camry, Lexus ES 300h, and German rivals like the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Audi A6, which offers the best “boss-seat” experience?
Given the requirements you've listed out, it's hard to go wrong with the Lexus ES 300h. It's the only one in this price range that offers the power recline function at the rear; its ride quality is superb.
Also, being a Toyota underneath, maintenance and services are fewer and more affordable than those of other luxury cars. The Toyota Camry is, of course, even better value, but it doesn't have the same luxurious interior as the Lexus.
With German brands having got significantly more expensive lately, the Lexus has somehow remained in the lower price bracket. Alongside the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3 Series LWB, which only further enhances its value proposition.

I have been using a Skoda Superb car for the last few years. I am now planning to buy a new car. For some time now, I have developed knee pain. Considering this, would a SUV be better suited for me as compared to a sedan? Can you please also give me some recommendations for the car? My budget is up to ₹75 lakh.
While you are advised to personally test the vehicles to judge comfort, a higher-riding SUV usually is more comfortable to get into and out of than a sedan. There are a fair few options within your budget (do remember to haggle hard!), among which we'd suggest you check out the BMW iX1, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5, Volvo XC60 and Land Rover Discovery Sport.

I am planning to buy my first luxury car and am confused between the Audi Q3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA 200d. My daily commute is around 25 km, with long drives about once a quarter. My main requirements are strong road presence and a good driving experience.
The Mercedes-Benz GLA 200d feels more modern, with striking styling and rich interiors, compared to the Q3, which now feels dated. However, the Audi Q3 is overall a better choice for your daily commute because the 2-litre TFSI petrol is very smooth, the ride is better than the GLA’s, and the cabin is a bit more spacious too.
One downside is that Audi cars don’t have as good resale value as Mercedes-Benz cars, but that is compensated for by the great deals you get on Audis today. You can bargain hard with both the Mumbai dealers for a good price.

I have driven my car for around 35,000 km. Should I retain it or sell it and upgrade to a new car?
35,000 kms is not a very high mileage at all, for any car. So if the car is running fine and you are happy with its performance, we would not recommend selling it purely based on its mileage covered.
However, if you are still keen on a change to a newer car, you could look at the new Mercedes GLC or the BMW X3.
