Trending Questions on Tata Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
Hi Team Autocar, I read every suggestion you post - the way you evaluate and highlight key points is very impressive. I’m looking for a 7-seater SUV under ₹17-19 lakh. Please suggest a good SUV with strong road presence and ample space and legroom for a family of 6-7 people.
The Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV 7XO are the best options for your requirements. Both are large SUVs with strong road presence and ample room in the first and second rows.
However, it's the Tata Safari that has the better third row, with a bit more space and a comfier seating position. If the third row will be used often, we would recommend the Safari.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO doesn't offer a middle row slide function, leaving no option to free up extra space for third row passengers. The third row is usable but is best for short commutes.
Please suggest a car under 8 lakhs with CNG for comfortable highway drives, as 70% driving will be for highways only.
I need a car that suits my 60km daily city commute, along with weekend highway drives. It should be fuel-efficient, and my budget is Rs 15 lakh. I am looking for an EV.
I am planning to buy an SUV within a budget of approximately 16 lakh. As I am a retired Naval Officer hence prefer to buy through CSD. I prefer to own a new Maruti Sajuki Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid variant. But am perplexed whether to go for the Tata Nexon (Top Variant) or the Strong Hybrid Grand Vitara. My usage of the vehicle is hardly for 5/6 days a month. Kindly advise a suitable vehicle for me, please. Regards.
What is the difference between different types of automatic transmissions (AT, AMT, CVT, TC, etc.), in terms of smoothness, driving comfort, mileage, etc?
I am looking for my second car with a stylish design, best ground clearance, 5-star safety, and top features like Level 2 ADAS, tyre monitoring system, sunroof, large boot, and cruise control. My preferences are Curvv, new Duster, XL6, Harrier, or Toyota cars. Please advise which would be the best suitable option and which variant as well. My usage is about 60% city and 40% highway, with a budget of ₹15 lakh.
None of the cars you have shortlisted have Level 2 ADAS, within your budget of Rs 15 lakhs. Since this is a must-have, you may consider the Tata Nexon, which satisfies all your requirements. It includes a 5-star crash safety rating, ADAS, tyre pressure loss indicator, sunroof, cruise control, and its boot space is quite respectable too. Also, the Nexon feels tough, and its ride comfort is very good for your city and highway drives.
If you are comfortable with sedans, then the Honda City and Hyundai Verna meet all your requirements, and have a much larger boot than all the compact SUVs on sale. Between the two, the Verna feels more modern, and is a bit more refined, too.
Please suggest a car with CNG and manual transmission that is suitable for occasional long highway driving, with an on-road budget of ₹12 lakh.
The Tata Nexon CNG would be a good option for you. Instead of one large CNG tank eating into boot space, it uses Tata’s innovative twin cylinder setup, which places two CNG cylinders under the boot floor. This means you don’t lose out on a proper usable boot. Moreover, there's also a spare wheel mounted under the car.
Boot space over the standard Nexon due to a higher floor, but it's still very useable and this and the spare can be handy on your long highway drives. The Nexon also has a good highway ride, and you will get a very well-equipped version in your budget.
I want to buy an SUV car for my son. Please suggest suitable options.
We are not sure about your budget or any other specific requirements, like driving habits, etc. However, since you are buying the car for your son, we are assuming city usage and that he could be new to driving.
Keeping this in mind, we would recommend the new Tata Punch. The car is easy to drive with a compact footprint and a high-set seating that gives you a better view outside. The 1.2-litre, naturally aspirated petrol engine is not powerful and peppy, and it delivers just about sufficient performance.
This is thus safer and more prudent for a young driver. Speaking of which, the car is also safe with good safety equipment and a 5-star BNCAP crash test rating. The new facelifted Punch also looks quite nice and comes in some youthful colors and this is something that your son should like.
I am planning to buy a petrol automatic car within a budget of ₹20 lakh. I’m confused between the new Tata Sierra and the Harrier PureX, and I’m wondering if I should also consider the Hyundai Creta. Please suggest which one I should choose.
The choice really comes down to what you are looking for from your car, and without knowing that its hard to pinpoint one. If you drive mainly in the city, we would rule out the Harrier. It is quite large, and though the steering on the petrol is light, on the whole, the car does not really feel nimble on its feet.
It is best for highways and longer drives. Between the Tata Sierra and the Hyundai Creta, the Sierra has the advantage of newness and novelty value. You will also get more equipment, like a three-screen setup, a better-sounding audio system and a powered tailgate. However, you will have to pay more than Creta. Thus, if your budget is strict, then the Hyundai Creta will prove to be a very good all-rounder.
I am looking for a petrol SUV with automatic transmission. I have a maximum budget of ₹20 lakh and am confused between the Tata Sierra, Kia Seltos, and Harrier. Please advise which one I should choose.
The choice of car really comes down to what you are looking for, without knowing this its hard to pinpoint one. If you drive mostly in the city, the Harrier would not be a good option.

Between the Tata Sierra and the Kia Seltos, the Sierra has the more classical good looks, and you will also get more equipment like a three-screen setup, an air-purifier, a better-sounding audio system and a powered tailgate. However, you will have to pay more than the Seltos. Thus, if you are strict with your budget, then the Kia Seltos will be a good all-rounder.
