I want to buy an SUV; my usage is 70:30, mostly within cities like Bangalore, and a few times off-road. I’m ok to stretch the budget up to 60 lakhs around I’m confused between Kodiaq, Hycross, Fortuner, BMW X1, or wait for the new Fortuner if it is released by this year's end. Can anyone give me suggestions?

Pick the Skoda Kodiaq. Your usage is mostly in Bengaluru city, and the Kodiaq is the best all-rounder of this lot. It's spacious, comfortable, refined and well equipped, but also comes with AWD and enough ground clearance to handle bad roads and the odd trail without fuss. It rides and handles far better than ladder-frame SUVs like the Fortuner, feels properly premium inside, and is far less tiring in traffic.The Fortuner is unstoppable off-road, but in the city, it is big, bouncy and heavy to drive, and you will pay more for less comfort. The next-gen Fortuner is unlikely to go on sale this year. The BMW X1 is great for city use, but it is not very powerful, and FWD, which isn't great for off-road use; also, the space is tighter than the others. The Innova Hycross hybrid is the most spacious and practical, with the best mileage of the lot, but it lacks that SUV road presence and status.Overall, the Kodiaq is the best choice, but bear in mind petrol costs in heavy traffic will be higher than the HyCross, and the third row is best for kids only.

I want to buy a pre-owned car with a budget of Rs. 45 lakh. My current options are a BMW 520d Luxury Line with around 50,000km on the odometer, a BMW X1 18d, and a Mercedes-Benz C200, both with around 30,000km driven. I belong to a joint family and currently own two Skoda Laura 1.9 TDI models (one PD automatic and the other DI manual). The new car will mainly serve as a family car and will also be used for highway trips at least twice a month. I am looking for an executive diesel sedan or a cheaper version of the Kodiaq and Tayron

Go for the BMW 520d Luxury Line with 50,000 km; for your joint-family highway runs, it gives the roomiest rear seat, best long-distance comfort, and relaxed diesel torque. It will feel like a fitting upgrade to your Laura TDIs, and sadly there are no more diesel executive sedans available now, so it's something worth getting while you still can. While the Kodiaq and Tayron are capable in their own right, they can't quite replicate the same solidity of a previous-generation 5-series and given its intended use as a long-distance family car, the fuel bills of these large petrol SUVs will be astronomical. Of the other used cars, the X1 is simply too small and the Mercedes-Benz car simply won't feel as premium or roomy as the 5 Series; notably in the rear seat. 50,000km is not a huge amount for a used car, provided it has been well taken care of, and the 5-series' boot is large and well shaped too.
