Questions you may find useful

•3w

I am planning to buy my first car, and my monthly running would be around 1,000 km. I need a comfortable car, as around 60% of my driving will be on highways, mostly on a fixed route. I am getting the Tata Curvv EV for Rs 17 lakh and the Kia Seltos Diesel HTX for Rs 17.5 lakh. I also have an EV charger at home. Which one should I buy considering my usage and the fact that this will be my first car?

I am looking to purchase my first car. Looking for Automatic Petrol / EV Primarily use it in City (Hyderabad). I also plan to leave it at my parents place (Tier-2/3 Town) occasionally. I am looking for a easier drive, maintenance and service. I am looking at 15L budget.
