Questions you may find useful

•3w

I am looking to upgrade from my 2017 Hyundai Creta to another SUV. My annual running is around 35,000km, and my budget is up to Rs 25 lakh. I'm confused between a diesel SUV and a hybrid car. My usage is around 75% on highways. I have also considered the Mahindra XUV 7XO and Tata Harrier, but I am concerned about their relatively low fuel efficiency. Which SUV would you recommend, or should I switch to a petrol hybrid such as the Maruti Victoris, considering the coming years?

With 35,000 km a year and 75% highway usage, you are a textbook diesel buyer. The fuel savings at this running are substantial, and diesel engines are at their most efficient on long highway runs. The Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel is the recommendation here. It is a genuinely strong highway SUV with a powerful and refined diesel engine, a comfortable ride and a spacious cabin. The Tata Harrier is also a good product, but the Mahindra car feels more complete overall.Your concern about fuel efficiency is understandable, but both the XUV 7XO and Harrier are large, powerful SUVs and their efficiency is reasonable for what they are.The Maruti Victoris Strong Hybrid is an excellent SUV, but it isn't the best fit for your driving pattern. While hybrid cars deliver their biggest fuel efficiency advantage in city traffic, where they can operate on electric power for longer, your 75% highway usage reduces that advantage considerably. A diesel SUV, therefore, remains the more sensible choice.The Toyota Innova HyCross Hybrid would have been a strong alternative thanks to its excellent blend of comfort, efficiency and reliability, but it sits well beyond your stated budget.
