Questions you may find useful

Hi, my current vehicle is a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, which we bought in 2019, and now we are planning to buy a new car. The budget is around Rs. 50 lakh, and our priorities are comfort, regular city use, highway and road trips, reliability, low maintenance and good mileage. We are open to both 5-seater and 7-seater options. The cars we have shortlisted are the Toyota Camry and Skoda Kodiaq, but please let us know if there are better options or whether we should continue with one of these.

Both your shortlisted cars are excellent options, but given your requirements, the Toyota Camry is the better bet. The main consideration is mileage, and there is nothing quite like a hybrid to maximise that. Toyota has been a pioneer of strong hybrid tech for decades, and the latest Camry showcases the best of that know-how, with a smooth and efficient drive that uses the e-motor regularly to save on fuel. With a total system output of 230hp, it has more than enough grunt for highway use as well.What's more, Toyota's reliability and low-maintenance reputation precede it, and you should be able to use the Camry for years without issue. Only possible downsides are that its ground clearance isn't as much as that of an SUV, and it isn't particularly exciting from behind the wheel, since you drive yourself.The Skoda Kodiaq is a good option too, especially on the driving front, with its punchy 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and solid-feeling chassis. This Skoda car also has more space as well as better ground clearance, which should come in handy on road trips. However, on most other fronts, it can't hold a candle to the Camry, and that's especially true of mileage, which will be in single digits for the most part.
