Questions you may find useful

•15w

I want to buy a 7- or 8-seater car. I currently own an XUV500 and am considering the Toyota Hycross, Kia Carnival, MG Majestor, and Toyota Fortuner. I am a bit confused. The Hycross lacks some premium features, the Carnival feels too long for city driving, the MG Majestor seems like the perfect choice, but I am unsure about MG's reliability and after-sales service, and the Fortuner is not very comfortable, especially in the middle and last rows. Which one would you recommend based on these requirements?

I currently own a 2017 Tata Hexa XTA automatic with 1,27,000km on the odometer and plan to replace it within the next 12 months. My key requirements are an automatic transmission, a genuinely comfortable third row for adults, excellent bad-road and hill-climbing capability, strong highway comfort for long-distance touring, and proven long-term reliability with minimal ownership headaches. The MG Majestor 4x4 is currently my leading contender, and I am happy to wait for the right vehicle rather than buying immediately. Considering my priorities, would you recommend waiting for the next-generation Toyota Fortuner, choosing the MG Majestor 4x4, or holding out for another upcoming SUV?
