Hi, I am using a Duster 110 RXZ and now want to sell it and buy a new SUV. What would you suggest, a petrol or a diesel SUV? My monthly run is around 1,000 km, and I have already driven 85,000 km in 8 years. My budget is around Rs 20 lakh, and I need a good, tough SUV that can be used for very long drives.
Since your monthly running is not very high, you can opt for a petrol SUV. In the Rs 20 lakh budget, you can consider the Tata Sierra, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Skoda Kushaq, to name a few. All three are good options and will serve you well.
The Hyundai Creta and Seltos are mechanically identical, while the Kushaq and Taigun share a lot between them. To be fair, it comes down to the design and features you prefer.
The Renault Duster is also a great option to consider, and while prices are not out yet, it is likely to be in the same range as the above-mentioned SUVs. However, our recommendation will be to wait for the new upcoming Duster.
Since you already have the older version and have a good experience with it, the new one will be worth waiting for. It has modern looks, a premium cabin and lots of features, making it a strong contender in this segment.

Hi, I am a first-time car buyer, around 38 years old. I am planning to buy an automatic as I will mostly be driving in the city and occasionally travelling on highways. I need a good-performing and spacious sub-4m compact SUV with reasonable maintenance costs. I am a fan of torque converter or CVT gearboxes only, as they are easier on the pocket. My budget is around Rs 16 lakh. Since the Venue and Creta do not have torque converter options, I have left those out. I am confused between the Skoda Kylaq and the 3XO AX5L AT, as it comes with Level 2 ADAS features. Back seat comfort is good in the 3XO, and we are a family of five. Which one should I choose? Or should I wait for the Duster 2026?
Yes, the Mahindra XUV 3XO has ADAS features and is generally well-equipped, and yes, the petrol engines come with a torque converter automatic gearbox. It also has the most spacious cabin in the segment, which will be helpful for a family of five.
Do note, however, that its boot is not particularly large, the powerful 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine with the AT is not very fuel efficient, and the fully loaded petrol AT with ADAS will go past your budget of Rs 16 lakh.
The Skoda Kylaq may miss out on some features, and it is slightly less spacious in the cabin, but overall, it is a better car to drive, and it falls within your budget.
You could wait for the Renault Duster, but it is a few months away, there's likely to be a big rush at booking time, it's a segment above, so it may not fit in your budget, and it comes with a dual-clutch automatic, not a TC or CVT.

My father is planning to buy a new car and, after extensive research, he has finalized the Honda Elevate ADV DT (automatic). However, we are wondering if it would be worth waiting for the new Renault Duster before making the final decision. We are based in Nagpur and currently drive a 2011 Swift diesel. Our running is not very high, so we are now preferring a petrol automatic for better ease of driving and convenience. We test drove the Honda Elevate, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai Creta, and he liked the Elevate the most. He especially appreciated the seating stance and felt it offered a proper SUV-like driving position and commanding feel, whereas the others, although feature-rich, didn’t give him the same SUV feel. Our priorities are comfort, reliability, ease of driving in city traffic, and a strong SUV-like feel. Would it be worth waiting for the new Renault Duster, or is the Elevate CVT a good choice to proceed with?
If your father likes the Honda Elevate, he should go ahead with it. It's a practical, reliable, no-nonsense SUV that gets its fundamentals absolutely right; it merely lacks a bit of flash value compared to rivals. It perfectly suits your requirements of comfort, reliability, ease of driving around town, and SUV-like feel. Moreover, it's got one of the best naturally aspirated petrol engines in the segment, which is equal parts efficient, relaxed and fun, and it's mated to a smooth CVT automatic.
As for the Renault Duster, it does seem like a good choice on paper. It does fulfill your requirements of a tall seating stance and commanding feel, but other than that, it is an unknown quantity - especially in terms of ease of city driving and reliability. We would recommend going ahead with the Honda Elevate.

Asked by: Dr Balgopal Nairon Feb 7, 2026
I am looking for an SUV with an automatic transmission, preferably a hybrid (if not, then petrol), large legroom, good boot space, all-around sensors or a 360-degree camera, good infotainment, nice interiors, and climate control. Budget is around ₹18 lakh, can stretch to ₹20 lakh. I had Kia and Creta in mind, but I am unsure about the variant. There is also no hybrid option in these. I can wait if a better hybrid is coming out within this year.
Since you are looking for a hybrid SUV around Rs 20 lakh, the Toyota Hyryder, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, or the Victoris would fall into your consideration set and offer you the features you are looking for, like climate control and a good infotainment system.
However, since all three have the hybrid battery placed in the boot, you do lose out a lot on cargo volume, and since this is also a big priority for you, we would suggest you wait for the Renault Duster hybrid, which is coming around Diwali this year. While its boot will be smaller than the non-hybrid version, it will still be much larger than what the Toyota and Maruti hybrids offer. Since you are willing to wait, this would be a sensible option. Since you said you can wait for about a year, we would think this would be wise.

I have a Duster RXZ 110PS petrol top-end manual transmission. I have completed 49,000 km and am planning to replace it, but my budget is limited as I cannot afford a bigger down payment. With the Duster being an icon, which car would you suggest? My budget for an automatic only is ₹12 lakh.
Unfortunately, we will not know the price of the new Renault Duster for at least 6 to 8 weeks. Worse still, Renault has chosen not to offer an automatic gearbox option with the smaller, less powerful 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, even though the same engine is offered with a CVT in the smaller Renault Kiger.
However, Renault has been known to undercut rivals in each of the segments it operates in, and there may be a chance that the new Duster with the 1.3-litre turbo petrol and DCT auto could fit in your budget of Rs 12 lakh.
If not, you could consider other compact SUVs, such as the Maruti Suzuki Brezza or the Tata Nexon, which are similarly tough SUVs that will get you an automatic at your budget, albeit in a slightly smaller size.

Asked by: Mohandason Feb 5, 2026
Hi Autocar! I submitted my question previously, but haven’t seen it published even after a week, so I’m asking again. I am planning to upgrade my 2014 Honda City CVT, mainly due to lower petrol mileage caused by ethanol blending and because I can currently get good resale value. I want to move to a mid-size SUV petrol automatic. My usage is mostly city driving, with about 10% highway use. I also make frequent airport trips due to extended family visits, which is why I am considering a mid-size SUV or MPV. My budget is around ₹18 lakh, and I do not want to stretch it. I am focused on petrol efficiency and want either a hybrid or an electric vehicle. Are the Toyota Hybrid and MG Windsor the best options? Would it be worth waiting until the end of this year or even 2027 for more hybrid or EV options, especially MPVs? I know the Renault Duster Hybrid is being hyped with a large hybrid battery, so I'm wondering if I should make a purchase now with a better resale value for my old car, or take a hit on the resale value of my old car and wait till 2027 for new hybrids.
Since you're looking at hybrid or EV options only, with a budget of Rs 18 lakh, you could consider the MG Windsor EV. It has a spacious cabin and a large boot, which you are likely to appreciate, particularly during your frequent airport trips. If you opt for the standard range version, you can expect around 230-260km of real-world range, while the 'Pro' version could get you an additional range of over 100km. While it is largely a very practical car, its biggest downside is that even for basic functions, such as mirror adjustment, lights, sunshade, etc., you have to rely on its touchscreen. However, with time, you will get used to this.
If you're not in a hurry, you could wait for the Renault Duster hybrid that'll be launched in the second half of this year. Besides being a hybrid, it is likely to have a noticeably larger boot than the existing hybrid cars on sale, namely the Hyryder, Grand Vitara and Victoris. However, there are high chances that you might have to stretch your budget for its hybrid variant.

I need a bigger car but it should be good on mileage and service cost shoukd be economical? How will be TATA Sierra? Please advise
The Tata Sierra is a great product. It is one of the best in the segment for space and comfort, it is loaded with features, and it will be a solid upgrade from your current Maruti Suzuki Swift. However, when it comes to mileage, the Sierra is not the best across its engine and gearbox options.
So, considering your priorities of fuel efficiency and low service costs, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Victoris Strong Hybrid. It delivers excellent mileage and you can expect over 20kmpl in both city and highway driving. Plus, since it is a Maruti Suzuki, after sales support and running costs will be very manageable, something you would already be familiar with as a Swift owner. It is also a 5 star BNCAP rated car, which adds extra peace of mind.
If you are willing to wait and want an option beyond Maruti Suzuki, the new Renault Duster is expected to get a strong hybrid around Diwali this year, and it could also fit your requirements well.

My query is about choosing between the Tata Sierra, Renault Duster, the new Kia Seltos, and the Skoda Kushaq. My budget is ₹20 lakh. Please guide me.
The Renault Duster will launch in March, and prices for the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine will be revealed then. From what we know, the Duster has a strong road presence thanks to its bold and aggressive design and tough demeanour. We are yet to see how it performs out on the road, so we will reserve our comments till that happens.
The Tata Sierra is a strong package with lots of character in its design and styling and a strong set of features. What also helps its case is the wide array of variants on offer with multiple powertrain options. Its strengths remain its design, space and ride comfort. If you care for these three, the Sierra is the one to go for.
The Skoda Kushaq was recently updated, and it gets new features like massage seats at the rear. However, it still remains a car for driving enthusiasts, especially with the 1.5-litre TSI engine. If you enjoy getting behind the wheel and prefer the driver's seat, the Kushaq would be a very good option. However, what it gains in handling, it loses in ride, and it just isn't as plush as the Sierra. It also misses the character and road presence of the Tata.
The Kia Seltos is a massive improvement from what it was before and is loaded with features. It also gets a host of engine and gearbox options, and the only real deterrent is its aggressive styling. If you don't mind that, the Seltos is a top choice in the segment.

My daily driving is between 80-120 km, mostly on the Hyderabad ORR. Once a month, I also visit my native place, which is 350 km one way from Hyderabad. I’m looking to replace my 2021 Grand i10 Nios, most likely with an EV. My budget is around ₹14-18 lakh. Please suggest.
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.

Hi Team. I need your advice on whether the Thar Roxx would be suitable for my usage. I am currently driving a 2015 Hyundai i10 manual and am planning to change it. About 90% of my driving is within the city, with a monthly running of around 1,000 km. The car is mainly used for home-to-office commutes, weekend city trips, and once-a-month highway drives. Now that the Roxx Star Edition has been launched, I am interested in it. Please suggest whether it is suitable for me. If yes, should I choose petrol or diesel? I prefer an automatic, but that will exceed my budget. I have a budget constraint of around ₹17 lakh on-road with a BH number. Please suggest other suitable options if the Thar Roxx is not ideal.
The Mahindra Thar Roxx is the most refined, sophisticated, and easy-to-drive ladder-frame SUV Mahindra has made yet, and its intention is to rival more conventional midsize SUVs like the Hyundai Creta.
However, some shortcomings of a ladder-frame SUV still remain. It is a large SUV whose boxy dimensions aren't ideal for the city, and its ride comfort is not as good as that of a conventional midsize SUV with a lot of movement inside the cabin. And its engines - both petrol and diesel - while powerful and relatively smooth, return very poor mileage, which will be a huge contrast after your 2015 Hyundai i10 manual. Still, it is a very appealing SUV, especially on the looks front, and it offers all the modern features you could want too, so if you are willing to put up with these shortcomings, you can check it out.
Do note, however, that the Roxx Star Edition will be outside your budget of Rs 17 lakh, even for the manual version. Otherwise, we would recommend waiting for the new Renault Duster to be launched in March 2026; it will offer similar tough appeal at a possibly more affordable price.
