Questions you may find useful

•20w

I am a serving Air Force officer and get transferred every three years. My daily car usage within the station is limited to about 10-15 km, with frequent start-stops. I also take occasional long drives of 700-1,000 km once every two months. I enjoy driving in the mountains, but do not do any serious off-roading. I already own a hatchback that my wife uses for short drives, and I am now looking to upgrade to an SUV. My family size is 2+1, and I prefer a 5-seater SUV with a 5-star safety rating. My budget is under ₹20 lakh (ex-showroom). I am confused between the diesel and petrol options. My current choices include the Harrier/Safari, Duster, Sierra, and Kushaq. Could you please help me choose the right car and variant? Suggestions for any other suitable options are also welcome.
