The car is still in very good condition, and about 4 years are still left before it completes 15 years. I would now like to buy an automatic car. My family consists of 6 members (including 2 children). I use the car mainly for outstation travel once every 1–2 months, with around 80% highway usage and 20% city driving. My key requirements are good power, safety, and spaciousness. I am not interested in features like a sunroof or ADAS. My budget is ₹15 lakh and can be stretched up to ₹22 lakh.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/carens-clavis/_AAB0261.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/audi-q4-e-tron-facelift-revealed-in-suv-sportback-avatars-439570Autocar Indiaen2026-04-27T15:30:29+05:30Audi Q4 e-tron facelift revealed in SUV, Sportback avatars https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260427_095548_ef197d89.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/hyryder-vs-taigun-vs-seltos-which-car-to-buy-bangalore-usage-446763Autocar Indiaen2026-04-27T15:10:00+05:30I live in Bangalore, and my usage is around 800 km per month, with 70% in the city and 30% on highways.

Over the past six months, I have been facing recurring DPF issues, even though the car is regularly driven on highways. Additionally, the turbocharger has been replaced twice due to reported leakage issues. Now, the service centre claims that this may be a design fault from Hyundai. As a result, my car has spent a significant amount of time at the service centre, which has been extremely frustrating. Given this situation, I am unsure whether I should continue with the car or consider selling it and moving to another vehicle. I would appreciate your guidance on this.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0283.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/premium-petrol-automatic-suv-under-20-lakh-india-recommendations-446723Autocar Indiaen2026-04-27T13:15:00+05:30I am seeking to acquire a premium and luxurious SUV with an automatic transmission and a petrol engine.

My key priorities are: Easy maintenance and long-term reliability Good ride quality and comfort Strong fuel efficiency While the Carens diesel appeals to me for its performance and mileage, I am concerned about potential DPF-related issues. On the other hand, the Ertiga petrol seems more hassle-free but I am unsure about its ride quality and have some reservations about its “taxi” image.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/Galleries/20190322051337_Maruti-Ertiga-Sport-black.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/between-bmw-x3-30i-petrol-and-x3-20d-diesel-which-is-better-for-long-term-ownership-and-usage-445661Autocar Indiaen2026-04-27T09:27:51+05:30I am confused between the BMW X3 30 and the X3 20d. My first concern is about the long-term reliability of E20 petrol and its impact on critical engine components, as well as future compatibility with higher ethanol blends like E30. Diesel, on the other hand, is ethanol-free. Secondly, both variants produce the same 400 Nm of torque, so does the difference between 197 hp (diesel) and 258 hp (petrol) make a significant real-world impact? Which variant would be the smarter choice for hassle-free maintenance, good mileage, and ownership over the next 5-7 years?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/BMW/X3/BMW_X3_30_xDrive_Front_Quarter_Tracking.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-long-termer/kia-syros-long-term-review-14-500km-report-440399Autocar Indiaen2026-04-27T08:00:00+05:30Kia Syros long term review, 14,500km reporthttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260424_114913_757edfd7.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/bajaj-freedom-125-ng04-cng-price-and-variants-explained-440475Autocar Indiaen2026-04-27T07:00:00+05:30Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 CNG price and variants explainedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260427_050814_1823940f.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-premium-electric-suv-under-22-lakh-offers-strong-road-presence-and-is-suitable-for-high-monthly-running-445984Autocar Indiaen2026-04-26T21:00:00+05:30I want to purchase an EV with strong road presence and a premium look and feel.

I currently own a Nissan Terrano, which has done over 3.5 lakh km and still runs very well. However, due to its age, its parts are wearing out, and Nissan service takes a long time (often 15 days to a month) to replace parts, sometimes even suggesting unnecessary replacements. I am confused between the Victor's Strong Hybrid and the GV Strong Hybrid. I am getting a good discount on the GV. My main concern is that the GV does not have a crash test rating, whereas the Victor's has a 5-star rating. Plus, can you tell me how much I'll pay in tolls for ride quality? Since Terrano has excellent suspension, is that acceptable, or should I avoid Maruti Duo & Toyota? After-sales service is very important to me, so if you suggest any other vehicles, please recommend from well-established brands.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/victoris/3.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-electric-car-under-15-lakh-is-best-for-city-and-long-drives-446211Autocar Indiaen2026-04-26T19:00:00+05:30I am planning to buy a new EV for both home use and long drives.

I have driven around 54,000 km. A few months ago, one tyre got punctured, and unknowingly my father drove 27–30 km on a flat tyre, causing multiple sidewall punctures. It was repaired at the time. Later, during alignment and balancing in February 2026, I decided to replace the replaced tyre with my unused stepney (from 2023) and bought one new tyre, placing the new tyre at the front and old one at the back. The very next day, the car started showing unusual vibrations from the pedal side along with noise that remained consistent even after one week of driving. Despite trying multiple tyre rotations at different shops, the issue persisted. I was advised that changing only one tyre could have caused this, and I should replace all tyres. On further advice and after watching multiple YouTube videos, I upgraded to 215/60 R16 tyres (as seen in higher Nexon variants), replacing two tyres due to budget constraints. The noise reduced, but pedal vibration remained. A mechanic then diagnosed worn front wheel bearings and disc rotors, which I replaced. However, after 3–4 days, a new “kat-kat” noise started coming while braking, along with a whistling sound during light braking. This noise appears after driving 7–8 km in the city but became constant during a hill trip to Bhimtal, even without braking. The suspension has been checked and is fine. Please advise whether this issue is tyre-related or if I should visit Tata service for a detailed diagnosis.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/nexon/_BE07305.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/is-mini-cooper-convertible-worth-buying-under-70-lakh-446247Autocar Indiaen2026-04-26T14:00:00+05:30I am a little confused.

Additionally, does either of these perform better than the other off-road?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/mmv_images/colors/20250714023958_Toyota_Fortuner_Super_White[1].jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-blogs/opinion-drivers-cars-need-to-be-more-about-the-driver-440470Autocar Indiaen2026-04-26T09:00:22+05:30Opinion: Driver's cars need to be more about the driver https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260424_144617_23d99fe9.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/ola-roadster-x-45kwh-performance-tested-and-explained-440460Autocar Indiaen2026-04-26T08:00:05+05:30Ola Roadster X+ 4.5kWh Performance Tested And Explainedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260424_060340_5d9fde55.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/manual-car-except-cng-under-10-lakh-for-daily-80km-city-and-highway-commute-446508Autocar Indiaen2026-04-26T08:00:00+05:30I am planning to buy a new car with a manual transmission (no CNG).

Thank you for creating great content. Thank you for upskilling my auto instincts. I have a query. I currently own a Basalt AT Max, 2 years old, with 10K km on the odometer, which I use for my office commute (750-800 km per month). I am considering replacing it. What would be good options in the Rs 15-17 lakh budget?

I have driven extensively on highways and in the hills, both on bikes and in cars. My driving has reduced due to my wife’s illness, though I am still open to the occasional trip. I am looking for a car that feels responsive and is comfortable for city driving. Since it’s just the two of us, I have more or less decided on the Kia Seltos or Hyundai Creta (both petrol).

Other requirements: annual running: ~8,000–10,000 km, primary use: family car, but I do enjoy driving occasionally, good ground clearance is important (roads in my hometown in the mountains are quite bad). I am planning to keep the car for 10+ years. Budget: ₹12 lakh (can stretch to ₹13 lakh if it’s truly worth it). My question is: Which of these would be the best fit for my usage? Is it worth stretching for the Seltos base model over the other two? Are there better alternatives in this budget that I should consider? Would really appreciate your suggestions.
