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.

Firstly, our deepest condolences to the family involved. This is a tragic incident and understandably raises serious concerns.The Volvo XC90 is one of the safest cars on the road, with a strong safety record and a five-star Euro NCAP rating. However, no car is immune to fire in the event of a severe accident. Modern vehicles, regardless of price, carry significant amounts of fuel and electrical systems, and under certain conditions, such as a high-energy impact, ruptured fuel lines, electrical shorts, or a fire starting in the engine bay, a fire can develop rapidly.The key point is that fire risk is not directly linked to the cost of the car. Even the most expensive and safest vehicles can catch fire if the conditions are met. Safety systems are designed to protect occupants in a crash, but they cannot always prevent a fire from starting, especially if the impact is severe or the fire source is difficult to contain.It is also important to note that details of this specific incident are still emerging, and without a full investigation, it is impossible to say exactly what caused the fire. Factors such as the nature of the impact, the location of the fire, the speed of emergency response and the ability to exit the vehicle all play a role.The takeaway is that while modern cars are safer than ever, fire remains a rare but real risk in high-energy accidents. The focus should be on understanding the cause through a proper investigation rather than assuming that a premium car is immune to such outcomes.

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.
