My usual running is approx 500 km in a month. I am a family of 3 plus 1 pet. We currently have a Kia Seltos 1.4 Petrol DCT and want to upgrade to a bigger vehicle. Which would be suitable for my use between the Innova Hycross and the Skoda Kodiaq?

The Skoda Kodiaq would be the right choice for you. Assuming you opted for a Kia Seltos 1.4 Turbo DCT for the way it drives, you'll like the Kodiaq's driving manners. It's got a peppy engine and neat handling, and there's also the added safety net of all-wheel drive. The Kodiaq also feels like an upgrade thanks to a more premium and upmarket interior ambience. Quality levels are really good, and it feels like an expensive car. Fuel economy isn't great, but for your kind of usage, running costs won't pinch. Routine service and spares will be pricier than the Toyota, though.The Toyota Innova Hycross is roomier and more efficient (if you take the hybrid), but doesn't match the performance and general feel-good factor of a Kodiaq.

Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to buy a 7-seater car for my family, with regular travel between Kolhapur–Mumbai and Kolhapur–Belgaum. I have shortlisted the Skoda Kodiaq Sportline, Toyota Innova Hycross, and Toyota Innova Crysta. Could you please help me decide which would be the best option for my usage and requirements?

Go for the Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid ZX(O) 7-seater, as it best fits your requirements. This Toyota car is very smooth and refined to drive for long hours, the hybrid automatic powertrain is efficient, and it stays steady and planted at highway speeds. Space is generous across all rows; the middle-row captain seats feature ottomans (leg rests), and Toyota’s wide service network gives peace of mind. On the highway, the hybrid still uses less fuel than a turbo petrol like in the Skoda Kodiaq, so you will stop less often for fuel, and the top trim comes loaded with all the convenience, comfort and safety features you'd want.One thing to be aware of: with all three rows up, the boot is small, so carrying seven people plus bags will require some planning. Also, the cabin feels solid but not as rich as the Skoda. Pick the Skoda Kodiaq only if you want a more premium feel and stronger performance, and you are okay with higher fuel use and a smaller service network.
