Hi, I'm planning for a reliable car for my family for long term ownership. Mostly, I drive within the city with monthly average of 300-500 km and take 2-3 long trips in a year. I had shortlisted Seltos HTX petrol. However, I'm getting recommendations to go with Harrier base under my budget. Should I opt with Seltos or Harrier?

•10w

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.
