I am planning to buy a new SUV under Rs 30 lakh and am open to both five- and seven-seater options. I have tried the Toyota Innova HyCross non-hybrid, Mahindra XUV 7XO, Hyundai Alcazar, Kia Seltos and Renault Duster, but I am confused about which one to choose. My main priorities are space, comfort and a good engine. My running is not very high, at just under 1,000km a month. Please advise.

I currently drive a Jeep Compass Diesel 4x2 and want to change my vehicle within a budget of Rs. 25-30 lakh. My annual running is around 10,000 km, with most of my driving being in the city and 4-5 highway trips a year. Please suggest whether I should go for an EV, petrol or diesel. I have shortlisted the following models: Mahindra XUV 7XO, Mahindra XEV 9e, Toyota Innova Hycross, and Kia Seltos Or is there any other option I should consider? Please suggest.
