Trending Questions on Tata Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am planning to buy a petrol SUV automatic and am confused between the 7XO and the Sierra. Considering mileage, features, maintenance, and reliability, which one is better?
If you are buying a petrol automatic, the Tata Sierra makes more sense if mileage, features and lower running costs are your priority. Its smaller 1.5 litre turbo petrol engine and overall size should make it more efficient. You also get a more feature-rich cabin at a lower price, as the two sit in different segments.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO suits buyers who want a more traditional SUV feel with stronger road presence and a proven mechanical package. Its powerful 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine delivers more effortless performance. But the petrol automatic will be less efficient and costlier to run. If long term reliability and established credentials matter more, the XUV 7XO is the safer bet.
Hi Autocar Team, I am Neel. I am buying my first car and need suggestions for a non-AMT automatic car with an on-road budget of Rs 10 lakh and Rs 14 lakh. My priorities are safety, mileage and features like a 360-degree camera and cruise control. Kindly provide your suggestions.
My on-road budget is around Rs 15 lakh. I am unable to decide between the Urban Cruiser Taisor, XUV 3XO, Nexon and Fronx. I am looking for good mileage, safety, AMT and a sunroof. Please guide me.
I am looking for a petrol automatic SUV, as mostly my running is in the city with 3-4 short trips a year. I already drive a Hyundai Verna, so I want to avoid Hyundai and Kia. My main requirements are comfort, reliability and ride quality. Currently, I have been planning to buy the MG Hector Savy Pro 1.5 Turbo. Is it a good buy, and what else should I consider?
My father is currently using a 2016 Maruti Swift. In 10 years, he has driven only 60,000 km. We are just planning to upgrade. The car will be driven 80% in the city & 20% on the highways. We prefer Indian or German brands, as we want a solidly built car this time (no Korean or Japanese models). So please suggest a car under an 8 lakh budget. Preference SUV petrol MT.
My monthly commute is around 2500 kms. I need a fuel-efficient car that offers good space and safety. My budget is around 12-13 lakh. Which car would you recommend?
I am planning to buy an EV car. I have shortlisted the Creta Electric LR (Executive (O)), Nexon EV 45 (Empowered), and Mahindra BE 6. I live in Kolkata and my driving is mainly in the city with occasional highway trips, totaling around 400 km per week. Please suggest which car I should go for, as I plan to keep this car for around 10 years. Also, will it be a wise decision to buy an EV car in 2026 from a resale value perspective?
The Hyundai Creta Electric is the most practical, sensible, and most sorted EV out of the options listed. It is practical, spacious, and it drives well too. Moreover, it is very efficient, hence you can expect over 400km of range without trying too hard. Since you are looking at a long-term buy, it is the Hyundai's ownership experience that's likely to be fuss-free.
The Tata Nexon EV 45's real-world range isn't likely to be as good as the Creta Electric's. The Mahindra BE 6 is the most radical option with excellent performance, battery and range. However, its user-experience is simply too complicated, its ergonomics are flawed, and backseat space isn't as good as the others.
Short-term resale values of EVs are not as good as those of ICE cars. However, since you are likely to hold on to your car for 10 years, resale should be the least of your concerns.
I want to buy a new car and am considering the Tata Punch, but I am concerned about its engine reliability. I want a car that I can keep for the long term.
I want to buy an SUV now with an on-road budget of ₹25-27 lakh. My monthly run is 1,200-1,500 km, mostly in the city (70%) and 30% highway. I would like an SUV that is sometimes a 6-7 seater, but 5 seats are okay, and high ground clearance is a must. What would you recommend?
The Mahindra XUV7XO is a good option to consider. Since your running is high, we would recommend the diesel version, which also delivers well on performance and refinement. Within your budget, you would get a well-specced version like the AX7 or even the AX7 Tech.
The XUV7XO also rides very well thanks to new tech dampers (DCx) and it's comfortable inside too. The third row is not as spacious as the Tata Safari, but since your usage is mostly 5 and occasionally 6 to 7 people, this should be ok for you.
I want to upgrade to a new automatic car primarily for city driving in Bangalore, with occasional highway trips. My budget is ₹15 to 17 lakh. Should I choose the Kia Seltos or Tata Sierra, or is there a better option?
