Dear Team Autocar, I am planning to buy a mid-size petrol automatic SUV and have a monthly running of around 500km. I am currently considering the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Neodrive G, Honda Elevate and Mahindra Scorpio. I have come across several online reports suggesting that a facelifted Toyota Hyryder could be launched soon. Could you confirm whether this is likely and, if so, provide an approximate launch timeline? I would also appreciate your guidance on choosing a vehicle that offers a low cost of ownership, affordable maintenance and better fuel efficiency. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
The Toyota Hyryder facelift is still some time away. While there are reports suggesting an update in 2027, we haven't seen a convincing indication of an imminent launch, and there is no confirmed timeline from Toyota.We would suggest considering the current Toyota Hyryder Petrol G(O) Neodrive AT rather than waiting indefinitely. The 1.5-litre petrol engine and six-speed torque converter automatic make for a reliable, easy-to-own package, and with your relatively low monthly running of 500km. The Honda Elevate CVT is also worth considering if you prioritise a smoother drive and a more spacious cabin.The current Hyryder is also attracting attractive discounts, which are unlikely to be available on the facelift when it first arrives. Our advice would be to negotiate hard on the current model and buy it if you get a good deal, rather than wait for an update that is still some distance away.
I am looking for a comfortable family SUV but am confused between the Tata Sierra and Kia Seltos. I want a petrol automatic, and my budget is up to Rs 17 lakh on-road. Which one would you suggest?
Both the mentioned SUVs are available in their base variants within your budget. A good option to consider will be the new Maruti Suzuki Brezza that gets a comfy ride, smooth petrol engine and a reliable and hassle-free automatic gearbox.In your budget, the top-spec ZXI Plus trim would be a good choice as you get a good amount of creature comforts in comparison to the Kia Seltos and Tata Sierra. The Brezza has a spacious rear seat, soft suspension and light steering that makes it easy to drive and maintain. Fuel economy will also be better than your choices, and while it is a tad small in size, the space inside is not a deal-breaker.
My budget is between Rs. 40-50 lakh (on-road) for a car in Surat. I need a premium 6-7 seater automatic car for city driving and highway trips. The third row will be used occasionally. My driving pattern involves driving around 20,000 km over six months and 3,000 km over the other six months. It results in driving approximately 23,000 km annually. This is why I’m confused between petrol, diesel and hybrid options. Please help me compare the Skoda Kodiaq, Kia Sorento, Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid and Toyota Fortuner, considering real-world mileage, performance, comfort, safety, features, maintenance, resale value and long-term ownership costs. Which is the best overall choice for my usage, and are there any better alternatives within my budget?
We'd recommend the Kia Sorento if you’re looking for a premium seven-seater within Rs 50 lakh, particularly if comfort and refinement are priorities. The diesel makes more sense if most of your driving is on the highway, where its strong torque and relaxed cruising ability should come in handy. However, if your usage is predominantly in the city, the hybrid would be the better choice, offering a smoother, quieter and more refined experience.The Skoda Kodiaq is arguably the better driver's car, but it doesn't quite match the Sorento for ride comfort. The Toyota Fortuner, while rugged and capable, also falls short in terms of ride comfort and overall refinement. The Sorento strikes a better balance for someone who wants a comfortable, upmarket family SUV that can handle daily commutes as well as long-distance trips. The interior feels plush, the feature set is extensive and the ride comfort is class-best.
Dear Team, I am planning to purchase an automatic petrol SUV priced under Rs. 20 lakhs. While I have been researching the Tata Sierra petrol automatic, I do have some concerns regarding their after-sales service. My key requirements are as follows: ● Seating Capacity: Comfortable seating for 4 to 5 adults ● Vehicle Segment: Mid-size SUV (non-compact) ● Safety: High safety standards and build quality ● Key Features: 360-degree camera and other modern amenities Could you please recommend the best car options that align with these specifications?
The Kia Seltos 1.5 petrol IVT would be our easiest recommendation for your requirements. It feels premium inside and out, has a comfortable ride and offers enough space for four to five adults, although it is not as spacious as the Tata Sierra. Kia also has a well-established after-sales network, which should help address your concerns about long-term ownership.The Seltos's naturally aspirated 1.5 litre petrol engine is refined and, paired with the IVT automatic, delivers smoother performance in everyday driving than the Sierra's 1.5 litre naturally aspirated petrol with DCA. The Seltos also feels more responsive, particularly when you need to accelerate for an overtake. Its five-star crash test rating is another plus, while higher variants offer features such as a 360-degree camera.
I am planning to buy a petrol automatic subcompact SUV primarily for city driving, with a monthly running of hardly 300km. My main priorities are reliability and rear seat comfort. Which would be a better choice between the Skoda Kylaq and Kia Sonet, considering my requirements?
With just 300 km a month and city use, reliability and rear seat comfort should be your main priorities. The Skoda Kylaq is the better choice here. It uses a proven 1.0 TSI engine paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic, which is a reliable and smooth combination for city driving. The Kylaq also offers a more comfortable rear seat experience, with better legroom and a more supportive bench, making it a better family car for daily use. The Kia Sonet is a good car, but the Kylaq edges it out on rear seat comfort and overall driving experience. At your running petrol is the right choice and another good option could be the Maruti Suzuki Brezza 1.5 L automatic, which has a comfier rear seat, a smoother drive experience and a better low speed ride.
