Tata Harrier Diesel Automatic Adventure Plus Dark Edition or new Kia Seltos Diesel Automatic GTX with ADAS? Both fall in the same price range. Which would be the better buy for long-term ownership? I may keep the car for at least 10 years, and most of my usage will be on highways. The Harrier is bigger and more powerful, but I have some concerns about Tata's overall quality, especially the electricals, service and small niggles. Which of the two would be the better choice?

I am looking to buy a car in the Rs 20-30 lakh budget. My driving is mostly in the city, and I cover around 50km every weekday, with occasional driving on Saturdays. I want a car with good after-sales service and decent fuel efficiency for city use. Most of my commute is along the Coastal Road from Bandra East to Fort in Mumbai. I am considering the Kia Seltos 2026 X-Line and the Tata Harrier EV, but I'm open to other suggestions if there's a better option in this price range. I have already ruled out the Honda Elevate, Toyota Hyryder, Honda City, and I don't want to buy a Maruti Suzuki.

Need buying advice - XUV 7XO, Seltos, Harrier or Safari? Hello Everyone, I’m planning to replace my 2021 Maruti Suzuki Brezza (clocked 50000 km) and would love some guidance. My usage: Location: Chembur, Mumbai Office commute (3 days/week): -50 km round trip (Chembur-Airoli) Approx. monthly running: 1,000-1,200 km Regular weekend drives around Mumbai/Lonavala/Alibaug, with 8-12 outstation trips a year and 1-2 native (Konkan) trips annually. Family of 3, with parents and in-laws joining us on majority of trips. I also have a left knee ligament issue, so an automatic transmission is a must. I’ve test-driven the Kia Seltos Diesel AT, Mahindra XUV 7XO Diesel AT, and Tata Safari AT (only petrol was available for the test drive). I’m currently confused between the Seltos, XUV 7XO, Harrier and Safari. One additional challenge is that my apartment has a mechanical puzzle parking system. The parking platform is quite tight, although there is a 5.5 m driveway opposite the parking slot to help with maneuvering. So overall dimensions and ease of parking are also important. My priorities are: Reliability (8-10 years) Comfortable suspension Rear seat comfort Strong highway performance Good service support Easy city drivability Which one would you recommend based on my usage? Are there any ownership experiences, reliability concerns, or other SUVs in the 25-30 lakh budget that I should seriously consider? Thanks in advance!
