Questions you may find useful

I’m planning to buy a seven-seater and don’t have a particular preference between an MPV and an SUV. I’ve been looking at the Hyundai Alcazar and Tata Safari petrol as options. I’d appreciate your advice on these cars.

I currently own a Hyundai Venue 1.2 petrol. I am considering for an upgrade and my requirements include a 7-seater petrol or diesel automatic SUV under 25 lakh (on-road) with 80:20 city to highway ratio with maximum 15,000 km annually. Can I consider electric as well. What would be your recommendation? I am considering XUV 7X0, Safari or the Alcazar but I'm open to other options as well. Thanks in advance.

I want a car max 22 lakhs on road Mumbai, 7 seater, my running is low, 7-8k kms/year max, Tata safari adventure x plus petrol automatic grabbed my attention (22.84 is quotation), mahindra ax5 petrol auto, alcazar prestige dct are also looking good, tell me which is a better buy, under my budget? currently own a 2017 tata tiago, long due for replacement.

I currently drive a punto emotion. I am planning to upgrade. My preferred options are alcazar or safari. My major driving is in city. Which is more reliable option of these two. Budget 23L. Suggest other better options as well. Also suggest the model.

I’m planning to keep my next 7-seater for 8–10 years. My annual running is around 12,000km, mostly on the highway, although the car may sometimes remain parked for 3–6 months because I work abroad. My budget is around Rs 18 lakh, with some flexibility of another Rs 1–2 lakh, and I prefer a manual. I’m currently considering the Hyundai Alcazar Executive petrol, Alcazar diesel and Mahindra XUV 7XO base/AX3 diesel. The XUV 7XO is a large and heavy car, so I’m concerned that the petrol version may not deliver good real-world fuel economy. The Tata Safari petrol is also on the list, but I have some concerns about Tata’s after-sales service. My priorities are long-term reliability, real-world mileage, maintenance costs and overall peace of mind rather than just features. I’m also considering the implications of E20 petrol and potential DPF/AdBlue-related issues with a diesel car that may sit unused for several months. The XUV 7XO’s lower variants also have a long waiting period, whereas Hyundai is currently offering a Rs 1 lakh ex-showroom discount on the Alcazar. I’m currently driving a 2008 Maruti Suzuki SX4 petrol manual. There are six adults and a toddler in the family. Considering all these factors, which one would you personally buy in this situation, and why?
