Hi, I am currently using a Ford Figo 1.2 petrol, 2019. I love the car, but I am looking to upgrade as Ford has left India, and I may have issues selling it after a couple of years. Q1. Should I go ahead and sell the car, or can I keep it for a couple of years? Q2. The car has been driven around 65k, and I have been offered 2.75 lakhs. I think it's a good value, thoughts? Right now, my running in the city is approx 500-600 kms per month. I mostly use a car for my office commute, and I don’t have a bike as of now. And yearly, out of the city running of around 2000 kms per year. Please, my city running may increase in future if I change my house location or office. I am very much confused about EV and petrol cars. In EVs, I was considering the Nexon EV. In petrol I was considering, Honda Elevate, VW Taigun 2025 (1.0 and 1.5), as I am getting some deals on them, Skoda Kylaq ( budget option with the same engine). As I am coming in a Ford Figo, I am looking for something which feels great to drive. Please suggest the correct car option. Reiterating question- Q1. Should I go ahead and sell the Ford Figo, or can I keep it for a couple of years? Q2. Ford Figo has been driven around 65k, and I have been offered 2.75 lakhs. I think it's a good value, thoughts? Q3. Will EV be the correct option for me? ( looking at my running) Q4. Or should I go ahead with petrol cars? (This E20/E30 discussion has created so much confusion) Q5. If I were to choose a petrol car, which option would be great for me? Thanks!

You don’t have to sell the Figo yet. If it’s healthy, keep it 1-2 years more; parts and service are still fine, and depreciation from here is slow. The Rs. 2.75 lakh offer is fair for a 2019 petrol at 65k km. Try direct sale or multiple portals and aim closer to Rs. 3 lakh-plus if the car is clean.Pick the VW Taigun 1.5 if you upgrade now, because it’s the only one on your list that truly feels like a step up from your Figo for daily drives and relaxed highway runs. The 1.5 is punchy, and the steering and body control make city and highway drives enjoyable. One honest catch: the automatic can feel a bit hesitant in crawl; the manual is more fun if you don’t mind a clutch. The Honda Elevate is nice, but it isn't as enjoyable as the VW/Skoda SUVs.With 500-600 km a month in the city and about 2,000km a year out of town, an EV like the Nexon EV won’t pay back quickly unless you have cheap home charging and your running shoots up.Go petrol. Don’t stress about E20/E30 - the VW-Skoda 1.0/1.5 are E20-ready, and should not pose issues if and when E30 is rolled out.

Hello, I am planning to purchase an automatic car purely for city use, with a daily running of roughly 20 km. I currently own a Maruti Suzuki Celerio AMT, which is now 10 years old, and that is the primary reason for this upgrade. My priorities are easy ingress and egress for seniors, comfort, and strong AC performance. My budget is around ₹10 lakh, which can stretch up to ₹12 lakh. I am considering the Taisor S Plus AMT, Kylaq Signature AT, Sonet HTK(O) DCT, XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT, and Venue HX5 DCT. Could you please advise which would be the best choice for my requirements?

Among your choices, the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro AT is a good fit for your needs. For 20km/day city use, the torque-converter automatic is smoother than the AMT in the Taisor and the DCTs in the Venue and Sonet. It is also more spacious than the Skoda Kylaq, and its tall stance makes it easier to get in and out of than the Taisor. The ride is smooth over speed breakers and potholes, and the AC cools quickly in summer.Before you make your final decision, visit the dealerships along with the seniors in your family to see which one they find most comfortable.

Please suggest a new car from the shortlisted options: Skoda Kylaq, Skoda Kushaq, or Volkswagen Taigun with the 1.0-litre engine. You may also recommend other suitable alternatives.

The Skoda Kylaq, Kushaq, and Volkswagen Taigun are all very similar under the skin, and the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is common to all three, as are many other mechanical components, as well as interior bits.The Skoda Kylaq is the only sub-4-meter car among them, and if you want something compact and very easy to manage in crowded city streets, then you should opt for it. However, if you do want a bit more space and a slightly more premium-looking interior, the Kushaq or Taigun would be better options. Do note, both are due for updates very soon - the Skoda Kushaq next month - so it may be worth waiting if you can.
