Hey, We are planning to buy a sub-4-metre SUV, and our main requirement is good suspension for Bengaluru’s pothole-filled roads, especially as my wife is pregnant. We have shortlisted the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Tata Nexon. Which one would you recommend for our requirements? I was also considering a larger SUV like the Honda Elevate, but a well-equipped variant costs around Rs. 18 lakh on-road, which is beyond my budget. Could you suggest some good options in both categories? I can stretch my budget up to around Rs. 15 lakh on-road if required.

My budget is around Rs. 12 lakh for a manual car. I am getting the Honda Elevate V for Rs. 11.9 lakh and the Kia Seltos base variant for Rs. 12.5 lakh. Which one should I consider? Alternatively, should I go for the Nexon CNG, considering it offers the flexibility of running on CNG as well? My monthly running is around 500-700 km, mostly in the city with occasional highway trips. Currently, I own a Honda City 5th Gen. Also, is buying a petrol vehicle a good decision right now, considering the concerns around increasing ethanol blending in fuel?

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!
