Please suggest a good CNG car with an AMT automatic gearbox within a budget of Rs 15 to 17 lakh, along with reasonable fuel efficiency.
I have a family of six, including kids aged 11 and 6 and elderly parents. Iโm looking for a petrol automatic car focused on comfort rather than performance, mainly for city use and one annual road trip. Annual usage is under 5,000 km, and my budget is preferably within โน22 lakh. Which car should I choose?
The Kia Carens Clavis is the ideal pick for your requirements. It's a well-packaged MPV that offers comfortable seating across all three rows. A one-touch operation for the middle row seat fold makes access to the last row easy. Also, there is ample movement built into the middle row to balance space for all passengers.
The Clavis is also easy to drive and doesn't intimidate as some three-row SUVs can. From the Clavis line-up, the Turbo DCT HTX(O) is the one to buy.
Of the other three-row petrol-auto options, there's the Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector Plus, Mahindra XUV 7XO and Tata Safari.
I own two cars, a Honda City and a Baleno, both mainly used for city driving. My total petrol expense is around โน17,000 per month, with the Baleno being used more frequently than the City. I am now looking to buy a trouble-free EV, but am confused between the Tata Punch EV, the MG Windsor EV, and the new 3XO EV. I live in an independent house, so home charging is not an issue. Please guide me.
Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to replace my Honda BR-V CVT and have shortlisted the Kia Seltos CVT, Kia Seltos Turbo DCT, and Tata Sierra Turbo Petrol AT, all in top-end trims. My daily driving involves about 30km of bumper-to-bumper traffic in Mumbai, with around 7,500km driven annually, along with a couple of highway trips of about 400km each. The car will mostly be chauffeur-driven in the city, so rear-seat comfort is important. My budget is โน25 lakh. Please suggest the most suitable option.
Hi, is the Skoda Kushaq a good vehicle? Do you have any other advice?
The Skoda Kushaq is a competent mid-sized SUV that stands out for its driving experience. Its 1.0 and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines deliver punchy performance, and handling is also slick and fun. The Kushaq also feels tough in its build and comes with the reassurance of strong safety ratings. On the flip side, the Kushaq feels smaller than many like-priced rivals and isn't ideal as a five-seater.
Skoda will introduce an updated version of the Kushaq later this month. We expect the model to get a few styling revisions outside and more features, too. It might include a panoramic sunroof and a segment-first rear seat massage function.
The updated Kushaq will also get an uprated air conditioner that will provide stronger cooling, which has been one of the model's weaknesses since launch. While the engine options will continue as is, the smaller engine's 6-speed automatic transmission is expected to make way for a more efficient 8-speed unit.
To sum up, the Kushaq should be on your list if a fun drive experience is a priority. If space, comfort and features are important, consider the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta and Tata Sierra.
Hi, I want to select an EV for around 1,500 km of city driving per month, with a budget of โน20 L - โน23 L. I am confused between the Creta EV, BE6, and Harrier EV. Can you suggest the best EV based on performance and visual appeal?
Since you are looking for an EV for city use, the Hyundai Creta Electric is a good choice. While it isn't as powerful as the Mahindra BE 6 or Tata Harrier EV, performance is brisk and more than adequate for city conditions.
The same holds true for its battery as well, which is the smallest (LR versions get a 51.4kWh battery pack) but delivers a comfortable 400km of real-world range in city driving.
What makes the Creta Electric likeable and ideal for city use is its size. A Harrier EV is a full-size vehicle, while the BE6 is significantly wider. It means both can feel a bit cumbersome in congested confines. What also goes in favour of the Creta is that the tech onboard works as it's supposed to - free of glitches and errors.
I want a new petrol car with good safety features and an excellent music system, and Iโm confused between the Mahindra 3XO and Tata Nexon. Which one should I choose?
Both the Tata Nexon and Mahindra 3XO are tough-feeling and robust compact SUVs, and both boast 5-star Global NCAP safety ratings. Both models also get branded audio systems, though it's advisable to test them out for your preferences.
Of the two models, it's the Mahindra 3XO that's the more complete package. It's better finished, better equipped and more spacious than the Tata Nexon. What also tips the ratings in favour of the Mahindra is its punchier petrol engine and slicker gearboxes - both manual and automatic.
Where the 3XO loses out is in luggage capacity, offering less room than you'd get in a Nexon.
I want to buy a new car. It should be a small car, with a monthly running of up to 150km, mostly for city driving. I earlier owned a Maruti 800, but since my height is 6ft 2in, it was uncomfortable to sit and drive, so I sold it long ago. Budget is not a constraint. Please suggest a good value-for-money option.
I have a family of four and am looking for a petrol automatic SUV, preferably with a DCT. My options include the Seltos, Sierra, Harrier and 7XO. My annual running is around 6,000km, so I do not want to overspend, but also do not want to compromise on features.
My budget is โน7 lakh and I do not want a Maruti Suzuki. I am open to other car makers and also considering an EV. Which car should I choose?
Unfortunately, no EV is available within a budget of Rs 7 lakh. You will have to extend your budget by at least 1-1.50 lakh to purchase the entry-level MG Comet or Tata Tiago EV.
The MG Comet is an excellent urban runabout, due to its tiny footprint, which makes it easy to manoeuvre and park. Occasionally, it can seat four passengers in relative comfort, with the only limiting factor being access to its rear seats due to its two-door layout. The Tata Tiago EV is relatively more conventional in its approach, and it drives a bit better than the Comet.
Also, it is the Tata Tiago EV, which will feel a bit more comfortable and confident for the occasional highway drives. Hence, if this is going to be your primary vehicle, we'd recommend the Tata Tiago EV for its well-roundedness.
