My car usage is hardly twice or thrice a week. I don't use my car for daily travel. My budget is Rs 10 lakh. I currently have a 2012 Hyundai Eon Sportz and want to upgrade to a better make and model, preferably a crossover or SUV. Which would be the best option among the following: Tata Punch/Nexon, Maruti Fronx, Renault Kiger, and Mahindra 3XO?

•1d

I currently drive a 2022 Tata Nexon petrol manual and am based in Delhi NCR. My daily running is around 85 km, and I spend about an hour each day in bumper-to-bumper traffic. This makes driving difficult and tiring, so I am considering exchanging my car for an automatic. My budget, after factoring in the Nexon’s resale value, is around Rs. 12-14 lakh. I need an automatic that is reliable, fuel-efficient, and maintenance-friendly. I am currently considering the Punch EV, Nexon DCA, Brezza AT, and Elevate V CVT, as discounts make the Elevate fit within my budget. I mainly use the car for my office commute of around 85 km daily, with occasional weekend trips of 500-600 km. I have a family of four, and this will be my only car. My office has free EV charging infrastructure, which makes me consider the Punch EV. However, I am concerned about its range on longer weekend trips, so I am also looking at petrol alternatives.

I am planning to purchase my first car. I don't have any specific requirements or daily running. I will mainly use it for city rides with family when needed and occasional weekend highway trips. My budget is up to Rs. 12 lakh. Which one should I choose among the Tata Punch, Skoda Kylaq, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Tata Nexon? I am also open to other options.

•5w

I am planning to buy a EV as my primary car for me and my family. I am confused between Tata Punch and Tata Nexon considering my daily running will be approximately between 40-50 km. Please suggest which one should I choose.

•8w

I want to buy my first car. I currently own a Hero Passion XPro bike. Around 70% of my driving will be on highways, and my budget is Rs. 10 lakh. I have shortlisted the Maruti Dzire VXi, Mahindra XUV 3XO REVX (M), Tata Nexon Smart Plus, and Tata Punch Turbo. Which one would be the most suitable for me?
