Hi, could you please suggest first car for my family. I am confused between Skoda Kushaq, Honda Elevate and Nissan Tekton for my office commute. I am looking for a trouble free value for money product. Thanks.

I am looking for a sub-4-metre SUV for long-term ownership that is also fun to drive. My daily office commute is around 60km, with occasional highway trips, and good mileage is important. I have shortlisted the Volkswagen Taigun 1.5, Honda Elevate and Nissan Tekton. Which would be the ideal fit?

Hi Autocar, I own a Nissan Magnite CVT and am very happy with it, as it perfectly suits my usage of 20 km daily in Bengaluru's bumper-to-bumper traffic and 500 km of highway driving per month for weekend trips. I am now planning to upgrade to a larger car with a spacious rear seat that can comfortably accommodate three passengers. I recently test-drove the Nissan Tekton, but I found the DCT unsuitable for my daily city driving. It also doesn't offer the CVT that I have grown to like in the Magnite, although the dealer mentioned that a CVT variant may be launched soon. Would it be worth waiting for the Tekton CVT? I am not in a hurry and can wait for around six months. Or should I consider alternatives like the Hyundai Creta CVT or the Honda Elevate CVT? Are there any other automatic SUVs that would suit my requirements for daily city commuting while also being comfortable for regular weekend highway trips?

Hi, I had booked my Seltos on the 12th of April. They said 9weeks, but it's yet to be delivered. Then on the 2nd of July, the dealership pings me and says the cost of my HTK (O) will rise by around 35k. I am also unable to take the delivery of the car due to health reasons for the next 2 months. I am thinking of cancelling this booking and then maybe looking at the car again around Diwali, when there might be discounts on it, or in the meantime, the elevate / tekton will also launch, so it might be worth looking at that also? Or should I speak to my dealer to hold the car for 2 months? The price rise isn't much, but the whole Kia experience so far has left a bad taste in the mouth.
