Hi, I am planning to buy a Kia Carens Clavis DCT. I currently own a Hyundai Venue Turbo Petrol(O) manual transmission, but I want to know whether the Kia Carens Clavis turbo-petrol DCT will be reliable for long-term ownership (10-15 years). I have heard that turbo DCT gearboxes tend to heatup in heavy traffic. Please guide me, is the turbo DCT suitable for mixed driving conditions (city traffic and highways)? What is your suggestion regarding the Tata Safari / XUV 7XO automatic variant?
The Kia Carens Clavis is a good option, and while DCTs are considered more maintenance-intensive than torque converter automatics, Kia and Hyundai’s units have proven to be more reliable than older Volkswagen gearboxes that were prone to failure. It’s true that stop-and-go traffic increases wear and tear on a DCT’s clutch pack; however, in the mixed conditions you mentioned, it should be quite reliable.
If you still have concerns about long-term transmission durability, the Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV 7XO both use torque converter automatics, which offer smoother shifts and are generally more robust. Of the two, our pick would be the Mahindra XUV 7XO, as it offers better performance, a more feature-packed cabin, and superb ride quality.

Dear Autocar, my daily commute is 38 km in the city. Should I choose the Safari diesel or the Alcazar petrol? Kindly advise in terms of maintenance, reliability, and cost efficiency. I want hassle-free ownership. Also, should I go for an automatic or manual?
An automatic transmission will be far more convenient for your daily city commutes; hence, between the two options you've listed, the Hyundai Alcazar DCT makes more sense. The Hyundai's service and ownership experience is likely to be better than Tata's.
Additionally, since you'll be purchasing the vehicle in Delhi, opting for the petrol-automatic version will give you a maximum of 15 years of ownership in the region, whereas the diesel-manual Tata Safari can only be driven for 10 years.

I am looking to buy a 5+2-seater automatic petrol. I previously owned an Ertiga ZXi+. Now I want to upgrade to something a step above the Ertiga. I have considered the XUV 7XO, Clavis, Alcazar, Safari, and HyCross. My driving is mainly in the city, with highway trips during holidays. Hence, I prefer petrol.
The ideal upgrade for you would be the Kia Carens Clavis. It has all the positives from the Maruti Ertiga but in a much more premium package. The engine is more powerful, it is extremely practical, and despite being a 5+2 seater, it is easy to drive in the city. The third row space is also usable for adults, especially in city drives. On the highways, too, it offers a comfortable ride and a decent amount of room in the third row with all three rows up. Being a Kia car, the equipment list is quite comprehensive, and you wouldn't miss many features with this MPV.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO is also good, but it is a bit too large for the city, and the third row space isn't as good or usable as the Kia's. The Hyundai Alcazar struggles with third-row room while carrying over the underpinnings of the Clavis. The Tata Safari isn't easy to use in the city, courtesy of its size and cramped third-row space, and the Toyota Innova HyCross, in its petrol-only guise, is quite inefficient and has to sacrifice a whole bunch of features too, unless you spend upwards of Rs 30 lakh and get the strong-hybrid version.
The Carens Clavis will tick all the necessary boxes and at a reasonable price point, making it the best pick for you.

I want to buy my second car. I have been using an i10 since 2012 and now want to buy a 7-seater. Safety is my highest priority. My budget is ₹25 lakh. My usage is mostly city driving of about 300 km per month and around 300 km of highway driving each month. I prefer a manual transmission. Which one should I get, and should I choose petrol or diesel? I am asking for the third time, but have not received any reply yet.
For your limited running, there is no special need to go for a diesel. Even though a diesel car will be more efficient and cheaper to run, it will also be expensive to purchase. If you plan to use the third row often, the best 7-seater option is the Kia Carens Clavis. The third-row seating is comfortable, there is plenty of seating flexibility, and access to the third row is also quite convenient. Get the Clavis turbo-petrol in HTX Plus trim, which is well within your budget.
The best three-row petrol SUV options within your budget are the Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV 7XO. It's the Safari with the better third row and the one we'd recommend for your use. The Tata Safari petrol-manual in Accomplished X trim suits your needs.

I am planning to buy the Tata Safari Petrol Red Dark AT. My current car is the Safari XZA+ Adventure 2022 model. Should I go for the petrol Safari? My concern is whether it will feel underpowered on hill drives with a full load, or should I choose the XUV 7XO Diesel instead?
The petrol Tata Safari has a 1.5-litre engine that is smooth and develops a healthy 170hp and 280Nm of torque, which should be good enough for driving in the hills with a full load. However, the XUV 7XO’s 2.2 mHawk diesel, with 185hp and up to 450 Nm of torque, is even stronger and will definitely have more pulling power, making hill driving more effortless.
In addition, the revamped suspension of the Mahindra XUV 7XO makes it a better-handling vehicle on twisty roads than the Safari. The XUV 7XO diesel isn’t as refined or quiet as the Safari petrol, but overall it’s a better choice for hill driving.

I am looking to upgrade my 11-year-old Baleno and want to stick to a petrol automatic with a budget of around ₹20-22 lakh. I am considering either the XUV 7XO or the Tata Safari. With the Safari, I would get the Adventure X+ AT, which has some ADAS functions, while the 7XO offers more flashy features that I might not need. My running is around 100-1200 km per month, with about three outstation trips per year of around 1000 km each. Kindly suggest.
The Tata Safari is a great choice for you. It is spacious, comfortable, and the petrol engine delivers quite well on performance. While we are yet to put it through our instrumented fuel efficiency testing, it is likely to be a bit more efficient than the Mahindra XUV7XO, which is tuned more for a very spirited and lively drive.
The Tata Safari Adventure X+ variant also gets a long list of features. So you should be quite satisfied there, and the third row of seats is better than on the 7XO, should you need to use them.

I am planning to buy a Tata Safari petrol for my family, and I doubt the car’s service support and long-term reliability. Can you please advise?
We understand your doubts about the long-term reliability and service experience of the Tata Safari, especially since Tata Motors’ reputation in this area has taken a bit of a beating in recent years. That said, the company is making a strong push to improve the overall ownership experience.
While it’s still a little early to comment definitively on how the Safari petrol will hold up over many years, we don’t expect it to be problematic to own. The new Tata petrol engine is a very modern unit manufactured at the company’s all-new engine facility at its Sanand plant, known for its higher quality standards.
On the whole, you can go ahead with the Tata Safari petrol with confidence. It’s spacious, very smooth, and nice to drive, making it a strong choice for family use.

Hi, I’m looking to purchase a new 7-seater car. My usage will be 30 % city and 70 % highway. I need a car with a 5-star safety rating (for both adults and kids), and it should be comfortable to drive as well as fun to drive. Reliability is very important to me. My budget is ₹29 lakh on-road. Please suggest a car that fits these criteria. Thank you.
The Mahindra XUV7XO is a very comfortable and fun-to-drive car and will prove to be quite reliable too. However, since you are particularly looking for a 5-star rated car, do note that the XUV7XO is yet to be tested, and so far, Mahindra only states that it is 'designed for BNCAP 5 star'.
Given, the brand's past track record and the fact that the XUV700 - on which the 7XO is based - has secured a 5-star GNCAP rating for adult and 4-star for child protection. It is likely the 7XO too would secure a similar rating.
However, if you are very particular about the rating, then opt for the Tata Safari instead, which has secured a 5-star rating in both adult and child protection in the GNCAP as well as BNCAP tests. Do remember, though, these ratings are only valid if you are always belted up and children securely seated in the specified child seats, and of course, always drive safely.

Hello! I am a driving enthusiast and mostly drive solo. I am planning to purchase the Safari petrol Pure X. I like its road presence and visibility. However, I have a limited budget. I was initially planning for a budget of ₹15-16 lakh, but the Safari would cost close to ₹20 lakh. Please suggest whether I should go ahead with the Safari petrol or consider better options.
Given your requirements and budget, you should consider the Mahindra XUV 7XO. The Tata Safari is a good option, but the XUV 7XO offers a more powerful engine and a plusher cabin.
The XUV 7XO has good road presence, a spacious cabin, and it comes feature-packed. The Mahindra SUV is powered by a powerful 203hp, 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, and it has a very good ride and handling balance, so you'll enjoy driving it too.
Go for the base XUV 7XO petrol-MT AX, which is priced at Rs 13.66 lakh (ex-showroom), or if you can stretch your budget a bit, opt for the AX3, which costs Rs 16.02 lakh (ex-showroom).

Hello! I am a driving enthusiast and most of the time I drive solo. I am planning to purchase the Safari Petrol Pure X because I like its road presence and visibility. I have a limited budget - I was originally planning up to ₹15-16 lakh, but the Safari would cost around ₹20 lakh. Please suggest if I should go ahead with the Safari Petrol, or recommend any better options within or close to my budget.
The Tata Safari petrol is a good SUV and offers up a surprisingly strong performance with a good low-end response. Power delivery is quite linear, but it's nice and strong with no turbo lag. It also rides very well, and high-speed stability is good. All in all its an SUV that you can enjoy driving. Other options that also deliver on size, road presence and performance would be the Mahindra XUV7XO, though it too would come in at around the same price as the Safari.
