I want to purchase a mid-size SUV. I am staying in a rural village. I travel two to three times a month by car with my family of five. Overall, I drive about 1,000 km per month. I mostly prefer travelling by car over bus or train for long trips as well (around 2,000 km to and fro). Mileage is also important to me. My Tiago gives 12-13 kmpl in the city and 17-19 kmpl on highways, averaging 16-16.5 kmpl overall. Can I go for a diesel car or a petrol car? Please suggest. Budget is Rs 16 to 18 lakh.
Since you have been a happy Tata owner, you could consider upgrading to the Tata Sierra 1.5 Diesel. It has an efficient engine, a plush ride quality, and its cabin not only feels upmarket but is also spacious enough to seat five adults comfortably. With a Rs 16-18 lakh budget, you could opt for the Pure Diesel MT variant, which covers the basics well.

I want to buy a 7-seater car, and I like the MG Hector Plus. I like its build quality, interior and price. Should I go for it or look at the Tata Safari or 7XO?
While there's a lot to like about the MG Hector Plus, like its upmarket interior and plush ride comfort, it isn't a spacious or comfortable seven-seater, due to a cramped third row.
The Tata Safari is certainly a better 7-seater SUV. Passengers will be comfortable in all three rows, and this Tata car feels tough and well-built. It is also well-equipped and has a stronger pair of engines - turbo-petrol and diesel.

I have been using a Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi for the past several years. It has crossed 1.45 lakh km and is a 2008 model. I wish to buy a new car. My major driving involves long trips with family or friends, while city usage is comparatively lower. My preferences are comfort for five persons, low maintenance, safety and efficiency. I can spend around Rs 10 lakh. Thanks in advance.
If you'd like to replace your Fiesta with another diesel car, the entry-level Tata Altroz Pure variant is your only option on this side of Rs 10 lakhs. The good news is that this car is spacious enough to accommodate five people. Its diesel engine is strong and very fuel-efficient. And it feels stable and planted on the highway. Moreover, the Tata car has a 5-star Bharat NCAP crash safety score too, and is equipped with all the modern safety features.
Alternatively, if you wish to opt for a petrol sedan, get the Maruti Suzuki Dzire for its spacious cabin, efficient petrol engine, and comfortable ride experience. With the Maruti, you can expect a trouble-free ownership experience too.

Hi, I am confused between the Tata Sierra Adv+ Diesel and the Tata Harrier Pure X Diesel. Please guide me in choosing the perfect vehicle.
Both cars are similarly priced, but the Tata Sierra Adventure Plus variant has a few more features than the Harrier Pure X. The Sierra also has a slight edge over the Harrier when it comes to ride comfort, thanks to its Frequency Selective Dampers (FSD). Also, being the newer car, the Sierra feels more desirable, too.
That said, the Tata Harrier has a larger and more powerful 2.0-litre diesel engine, so performance is a lot more effortless in comparison, especially on the highway.
In summary, if you want the newer, better-equipped car, and you're usage is majorly in the city, the Sierra is the one to go for; but if you drive on the highways more often, go for the Harrier, for its larger diesel engine.

I want to buy a diesel-powered compact SUV with an automatic transmission and good mileage. My budget is about ₹12 lakhs, and one of the options I am considering is the Tata Nexon Diesel AMT. Kindly suggest.
The Tata Nexon is a good option to consider. The 1.5-litre diesel engine is quite efficient, and the AMT gearbox is smooth enough for city use. The Nexon is also a very safe car, with a 5-star Global NCAP rating.
What is also segment-best on the Nexon is the ride comfort. The suspension is tuned well for our roads, and it feels confident over bad patches. The feature list is extensive too, with ventilated seats, sunroof, a large and high-resolution touchscreen and a 360-degree camera.
Another car you can consider is the Mahindra XUV 3XO. The diesel engine is very strong and more refined, and the AMT gearbox is smooth. The XUV 3XO is also very safe, with a 5-star Global NCAP rating. The rear seat is more spacious than the Nexon's, but the boot is smaller.
However, out of the two, it is a nicer SUV to drive, but not as good in terms of fuel efficiency. If the economy is the top priority, the Nexon is the one to go for.

Want to buy a new car in the range of Rs 15 to 20 lakh. My driving is around 25,000 km per year, mostly on highways. We are a family of four. Good fuel economy is essential. Please advise which car I should buy.
Since you frequent highways and the economy is a priority, a diesel SUV would be a good choice for you. In the Rs 15-20 lakh price range, the Kia Seltos is the newest option and has the right makings with a strong diesel engine, a well-equipped cabin and Kia's widespread network. The HTK (O) trim comes well packed with features that you would need and makes for a strong case.
The Tata Sierra is also an option to consider if the Seltos' design is a bit too over the top for you. The Sierra has lots of room in the cabin, and the diesel engine is refined and punchy as well.
If both these dont sit well with you, the Hyundai Creta is the safest bet. It has a clean, no-nonsense design, a well-equipped cabin and the same strong diesel engine as the Seltos. It will also hold its value better since the Creta brand name is much stronger.
All three have good room in the cabin, and boot space for four is sufficient too.

I want to go for one of the Indian companies. My preferences are high safety, good mileage, low maintenance, strong road presence, high ground clearance, big boot space, and good drivability. My budget is ₹23 lakh on-road. I am okay with not having hi-tech features or a sunroof. I am currently looking at the Harrier, Safari, XUV7XO, and now the Sierra as well. I am open to other options as well. My daily drive is around 55 km, so I am open to diesel as well, and I am looking for very long-term ownership.
Most cars from India's two big brands - Tata and Mahindra - have scored well in Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP crash tests, and in your price range, all come equipped with a strong set of safety features. The SUVs from these brands are also pretty good on boot space, road presence and ground clearance, so you can't go wrong with any on those counts as well.
Given your daily usage of 55km, a diesel car is beneficial for low running costs, but not essential either. However, as all your shortlisted cars do offer a diesel option, it's worthwhile to choose one of them; they all offer good driveability too. When it comes to fuel efficiency or mileage, the Tata Sierra comes out on top of the others, as it uses a smaller and more efficient 1.5-litre engine, compared to the others, which use 2.0 or 2.2-litre diesels that are nowhere near as efficient.
On top of that, the Sierra feels like the newest and freshest of the lot, though the recently updated Mahindra XUV 7XO is not far behind. As for maintenance, neither brand has a stellar track record for service quality, but the costs are reasonable and competitive.

I own two cars: a Brezza petrol TC and a Baleno Zeta CNG. My daily run is 60-70 km in the city, mostly on good roads. I am thinking of replacing the Baleno with another CNG car that has a better driving stance and higher ground clearance, as I sometimes get tired driving the Baleno for long hours. The Brezza is mostly used for outstation family vacations. Please recommend a good CNG car under ₹13 lakhs that is feature-rich and reliable. Some must-have features for me are white LED projector headlamps, alloy wheels, and a good stock speaker system.
Given your requirements, you should consider the Tata Punch CNG AMT. The Punch offers a ground clearance of 193mm, LED headlamps, 16-inch alloy wheels and an excellent 8-speaker audio system. Other notable features include a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a sunroof, a wireless phone charger, 6 airbags and a 360-degree camera.
The Punch CNG AMT is powered by a 1.2-litre engine paired with a 5-speed AMT automatic gearbox. Being a CNG, you'll still benefit from the lower running costs, but unlike your Maruti Baleno CNG, this is an automatic, so it will be more convenient and comfortable for you to drive for long durations. Tata Punch CNG AMT prices range from Rs 9.95 lakh to Rs 12.30 lakh (on-road, Delhi).

I am a first-time car buyer, but am confused between Altroz DCA and i20 IVT. I am 5.4ft, and have a family of four. City usage with 1/2 long trips in a month.
Considering your primary usage is in the city, a CVT gearbox is a better option than a DCT. DCTs can be jerky in stop-and-go traffic and are prone to overheating, which results in more frequent wear and tear. With that in mind, the Hyundai i20 CVT would be a better choice for you.
This Hyundai car is easy to maintain and comes equipped with most of the features available in the segment. Its CVT is also one of the smoothest on the market. The i20 has a larger wheelbase (2580mm) compared to the Tata Altroz (2501mm), translating into better second-row space. The engine is refined, and the power delivery is smooth, making it an overall easier car to live with.

I currently own a Hyundai Venue and am looking to upgrade to something more spacious. I have an average usage of 12,000 km yearly. My budget is ₹20 to 25 lakhs. I like the MG Hector, Kia Seltos, Renault Duster, and Tata Sierra. My priorities are: panoramic sunroof, cabin and boot space, loads of features. Ride quality, power, and mileage are not very important. My daily city usage is around 22 kms, with highway trips 3-4 times a year.
A car that will meet most of your requirements is the Tata Sierra Turbo Petrol, which gets one of the longest wheelbases in the segment, translating to ample cabin space. It features a 450-liter boot (measured to the parcel tray) that is comparable for this segment class, while the 60:40 split-folding second row offers flexible luggage space.
This Tata car is packed to the hilt with features, including a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, a three-screen setup, a 360-degree camera, 8-speaker JBL with surround sound and many more. The 1.5-litre Hyperion turbo petrol engine is refined with minimal turbo lag; its linear power delivery makes it much easier to drive in city traffic. It also delivers strong performance.
In our preliminary testing, it clocked 0-100kph in just 10.09 seconds, making it one of the fastest mid-size SUVs available. Sierra also gets one of the best ride qualities and handling in the segment.
