While you are advised to personally test the vehicles to judge comfort, a higher-riding SUV usually is more comfortable to get into and out of than a sedan. There are a fair few options within your budget (do remember to haggle hard!), among which we'd suggest you check out the BMW iX1, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5, Volvo XC60 and Land Rover Discovery Sport.You could also look at the Kia Carnival if you are open to the MPV body style.

Both are excellent options and should fit in your budget of Rs 45 lakh. The Volvo EX30 is the more contemporary option with more luxurious interiors. However, it isn't very spacious and is missing some features you would expect at this price.Overall, your better bet is the BYD Atto 3, which, though a little bit older and with a quirky interior design, is the more complete car. Most of all, this BYD car has a more spacious interior, particularly in the rear seat. Moreover, it has a slightly higher range rating and a slightly lower price than the Volvo car.

While the Volvo XC60 is an excellent option in this segment, the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 will be the better buy. It is the most powerful SUV in the segment, has more wow-factor when it comes to the interior, will hold its value a lot better, and has a comfier ride. Yes, this Mercedes-Benz car is more expensive, but all things considered, it is worth spending extra and getting a well-rounded SUV.

The BMW iX1, Volvos and Mahindra XEV 9S are all quite different propositions, so the ‘best’ one really depends on what you value beyond interiors.The BMW iX1 is actually one of the more practical luxury EVs, with a spacious cabin. a genuinely premium feel and strong performance, which makes it very good value in the luxury EV space. If your only concern is that the interior doesn’t wow you visually, it’s still worth a serious look because the perceived quality, ergonomics and driving experience are all very strong.Assuming you’re referring to the Volvo EC40 and EX30, both offer very classy, minimalist cabins with high-quality materials and that typical Scandinavian design feel, but with almost everything controlled via the touchscreen. However, they are not very spacious; the EX30 in particular is tight at the rear, with limited legroom and a cramped benchThe Mahindra XEV 9S cannot match the Europeans for material richness or finesse of fit and finish, but it is fantastic value and absolutely nails space, comfort and features, especially if you need a proper family EV and possibly seven seats. If interior design “feel” matters more than outright luxury, the 9S may actually make you happiest in daily use, while the BMW is the better pick if you want a true luxury EV with strong dynamics.

With 20-25 km a day and mostly city use, the Mercedes-Benz GLC petrol (badged GLC 300) fits your brief best. It feels smooth and easy at low speeds, the steering is light in traffic, and the ride handles broken roads well, so your daily run will feel calmer. On weekend runs, it stays steady and quiet, and the cabin feels properly upmarket. Mercedes has the widest dealer and service reach of these three.If you value a very calm cabin and strong safety tech, the Volvo XC60 petrol is a lovely daily driver. Volvo’s service reach is smaller, so check how close your nearest workshop is. If you enjoy a sportier feel, the BMW X3 suits keen drivers, though the interior doesn't wow like the Merc or Volvo's.Overall, for city-heavy use and peace of mind ownership, go for the GLC petrol.
