Questions you may find useful

I want to buy a new automatic car in the price range of the top-end Kia Sonet or the Mahindra XUV 3XO. The car will be driven around 7,000 km per year and will be used as a second vehicle. So, an EV may also be worth considering, as I have a solar plant at home. I like premium interiors and prefer a relatively maintenance-free vehicle. I also want good ground clearance to handle potholes. What would you suggest? Should I stick to sub-4-metre SUVs, or should I also consider larger options?

Your annual running of just 7,000km, the fact that this will be a second car, and having a solar plant at home make an EV a very compelling proposition. You'll enjoy extremely low running costs, quiet performance and the convenience of charging at home.Our top recommendation would be the MG Windsor EV. It is priced similarly to the top variants of the Sonet and 3XO, but offers a much more spacious cabin and a greater sense of space inside. It also feels more premium than its price suggests and is an excellent family car.The Tata Nexon EV is another excellent option. It offers good ground clearance, strong performance, a proven electric powertrain and a wide service network. If you prefer the more traditional SUV stance and slightly better rough-road ability, it remains a very sensible choice.If you decide to stay with a petrol automatic, we'd lean towards the Mahindra 3XO over the Kia Sonet. The 3XO offers a more spacious cabin, stronger safety credentials and a more comfortable ride, while the Sonet counters with a richer feature list and a more premium-looking interior.

Which electric car should I buy under Rs. 17 lakh for a daily commute of 50-80 km: the Tata Nexon EV Fearless 45, Maruti Suzuki e Vitara base model, MG Windsor EV, Tata Punch EV, or any other better 5-seater EV option?

The MG Windsor EV would be our recommendation here. Coming from a Honda City diesel, you're likely looking for a comfortable, spacious and practical family car. Among the EVs you've shortlisted, the Windsor feels like the most complete package. It offers the roomiest cabin, excellent rear-seat comfort and enough space for five adults to travel comfortably. It also feels like a genuine upgrade from a sedan in terms of practicality and everyday usability.The Nexon EV 45 would be our second choice. It is a proven product, offers good performance and range, and is a sensible option if you prefer a more compact SUV. However, it cannot match the Windsor for rear-seat space and overall family-car appeal.The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is worth considering, but it does have some notable shortcomings. The rear-seat headroom and boot space are limited, the seating position is slightly knees-up, the ride can feel busy and there is more road and tyre noise than we'd like. Given how late it is to the EV market, we expected Maruti to address some of these areas more effectively.The Punch EV continues to offer excellent value, but it is a segment smaller than the others and may not feel like a significant upgrade from your Honda City in terms of space and overall comfort.

Current car: Honda City V i-DTEC. Budget: Rs. 12-17 lakh. Electric only. Daily commute: 50-80km. Shortlisted: Nexon EV Fearless 45, MG Windsor EV and Punch EV. Looking for a good 5-seater and still exploring more options.

For your requirements, we think you should go for the MG Windsor. It offers the most space within your budget, and since seating 5 is a priority, it is the best choice. Your budget won't get you the 'Pro' variant with the larger battery, but given your daily usage of 50-80km, the standard version is more than enough. Plus, you should be able to get the fully loaded Essence variant, with all the bells and whistles, in your budget.The Tata Nexon EV is your next best bet, and though not quite as spacious as the MG, it's got the softer suspension, and you and your passengers will appreciate the resultant comfort. It has a larger battery, so the real-world range will be higher, but given your usage, it shouldn't make much of a difference. The issue is you'll only get a mid-range variant in your budget, so you might have to give up a few features. The Punch EV is simply too cramped in the rear seat to be used as a regular five-seater, compared to these two.Whichever you choose, make sure you can have a home charger installed, as that's essential to running an EV as your only car.

Dear Editor, I currently own a Ford Aspire Petrol (top-end but one variant) and am planning to upgrade to a more spacious car in around Rs. 20 lakh (ex-showroom). My daily city commute is between 10 to 20 km with an additional 50-60 km once a week. I also take occasional long drives of around 500-700 km. I travel with 3 passengers, but occassionally my parents join us. I have a dedicated parking slot with home charging setup capability. Coming from a Ford, I deeply value sharp handling, tight body control, and steering feedback. I am highly intrigued by the MG Windsor EV Pro through corporate car lease due to its incredible tax benefits, low running costs, and lounge-like rear seats for my parents. However, I am worried about its soft suspension and light steering that will feel too disconnected as compared to my Aspire. Does the MG Windsor EV Pro offer enough driving engagement, and are its drive modes sporty enough for a driving enthusiast? Please suggest some other option if I buy a car myself or choose a corporate car lease. Also, between turbo petrol or EV, which one will be fun-to-drive?

Go for the Volkswagen Virtus 1.5 TSI or Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI. They're the closest to your Aspire’s feel for Rs. 20 lakh - quick turbo punch, crisp steering, and tight body control that stays clean at highway speeds. They're exciting enough to keep you connected, yet are easy in the city. They're spacious, have big boots for trips, and the rear benches will keep your parents happy, though they're not “lounge-like”. Do note, both sedans are due for updates soon, so its best to wait for the latest versions. If you'd prefer higher seating, the VW Taigun 1.5 TSI and Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI SUVs are good alternatives.About the MG Windsor EV Pro: it's got an airy cabin, being an EV runs quiet, and your parents will love the sofa-like rear. But if driver feel matters, you will miss your Ford. The steering stays light and a bit numb, and the soft suspension brings float over bumps. Drive modes mostly tweak weight and throttle, not real feedback. Lease it only if rear comfort and ultra-low running cost beat driving fun for you.

Dear Autocar Team, as a long-time reader and enthusiast of automotive reviews, I am reaching out to seek your expert guidance regarding my next vehicle purchase. Currently, I own three vehicles: a 2012 Innova, a 2.5-year-old Mahindra XUV700, and a Windsor Pro. I previously owned a Toyota Hyryder NEO, which I found to be significantly lacking in comfort which prompted me to sell it. At this stage, I am evaluating whether to invest in an electric vehicle (EV) or a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. Given my primary usage pattern which is approximately 90% highway driving (90% of which is confined within the state of Telangana). I would greatly appreciate your recommendation for this specific use case. Your insights on the suitability of EV versus ICE options for long-distance, highway-centric travel in a regional context would be invaluable while making this important decision. Thank you for your time and expertise. I look forward to your advice.

Given that your garage already includes an Innova, XUV700 and a Windsor Pro EV, the decision should be less about EV versus ICE in general and more about what gap you're trying to fill. For your usage pattern of 90% highway driving, an ICE vehicle still holds certain advantages. You'll spend less time planning charging stops, refuelling is quicker and long-distance cruising remains more convenient, especially if you frequently cover large distances across Telangana at highway speeds. Highway driving also tends to reduce the range advantage that EVs enjoy in city conditions.That said, you already own a Windsor Pro, which gives you first-hand experience of EV ownership. If the Windsor is comfortably handling your requirements and charging infrastructure on your regular routes is not an issue, there is no reason to rule out another EV.However, if this purchase is intended to be your primary long-distance tourer, we'd lean towards an ICE vehicle. With an XUV700 and Innova already in the garage, it may be worth looking at something that offers a step up in comfort, refinement or driving experience rather than another midsize SUV.The challenge is that you haven't mentioned a budget, which makes it difficult to recommend a specific car. Depending on your spending range, the recommendation could vary from a premium SUV to a luxury sedan or even a premium EV.
