My annual running is around 8,000-10,000 km, mostly on highways. My budget is up to Rs 15 lakh, although I can increase it if there is a significantly better option available. I can also wait for a few months if more suitable options are expected. I would preferably like to buy from traditional Indian car manufacturers. Which SUV would you recommend?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-3xo/500_8436.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/why-is-my-mahindra-xuv-3xo-manual-gearbox-stiff-between-first-and-second-gear-501670Autocar Indiaen2026-08-31T11:00:01+05:30Hi, I am facing a persistent gear-shifting issue with my Mahindra XUV 3XO manual transmission, specifically when shifting between 1st and 2nd gear. When shifting between 1st and 2nd, both while upshifting and downshifting, the gear lever feels momentarily stuck or hitched before moving into place. I can also feel a slight downward movement or pull from the base of the gear shifter inside the cabin when shifting from 1st to 2nd. All higher gears, from 3rd to 6th, shift smoothly without any resistance. During the first service, the service centre adjusted the shift cables under the bonnet, but the problem has persisted. I am now taking the car in for its 20,000km service. What could be causing this issue, and what should I specifically ask the service advisor to inspect?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-3xo/500_8294.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-mahindra-xuv-3xo-ax5l-or-honda-elevate-v-cvt-for-long-term-ownership-501673Autocar Indiaen2026-08-31T10:30:03+05:30I am looking to buy my first car and am confused between the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5L and Honda Elevate V CVT. I would appreciate some advice. I am 6 ft 2 in tall, while my wife is 5 ft 3 in. Neither of us has much driving experience apart from driving school and occasional driving, so a 360-degree camera would be very useful. My budget is Rs 14.5 lakh on-road under the BH series, which is already stretched by around Rs 2 lakh. I am looking for an automatic with good safety, a reliable engine and reasonable service costs. I do not want a sunroof, as the additional headroom would be more useful. My annual running will be around 3,000-5,000 km, with 60% city and 40% highway use. I plan to keep the car for around 15 years. My main considerations are: Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5L * I need to keep the seat almost at its lowest setting, although it slides back sufficiently. * The 360-degree camera is a major advantage. * My main concern is long-term reliability. How well will the turbo-petrol engine and torque converter automatic combination age over 15 years? Honda Elevate V CVT * I also need to keep the seat almost at its lowest setting, but it does not slide back as much as the 3XO's. * The 360-degree camera will be dealer-installed. * The naturally aspirated engine and CVT combination give me more confidence regarding long-term reliability. As I have limited driving experience, it is difficult for me to judge from a short test drive whether either seating position could cause fatigue during occasional 300-400 km journeys. For my usage, which would you choose: the XUV 3XO AX5L or the Elevate V CVT?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Honda/Elevate/GT_01240.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-automatic-car-under-rs-15-lakh-is-safe-comfortable-and-fun-to-drive-for-family-highway-trips-501703Autocar Indiaen2026-08-31T10:05:02+05:30I’m planning to buy my first car and have a budget of around Rs 13-15 lakh ex-showroom. I also plan to register it under the BH series. Safety is my top priority, and I strongly prefer a car with a 5-star safety rating, preferably from Global NCAP. An automatic transmission is a must. The car will mainly be used for weekend family trips and highway drives rather than daily commuting. Since it will be a family car, I want something classy and elegant, with good comfort and a premium-looking interior. Leather or leatherette upholstery and ventilated seats would be nice to have, though neither is essential. At the same time, I do not want a car focused solely on comfort. I enjoy driving and would like something with a good engine, enjoyable handling and a fun-to-drive character. Good rear-seat comfort and reasonable luggage space for family trips are also important. In short, I am looking for a safe, automatic, classy and comfortable family car that is also enjoyable to drive, within Rs 13-15 lakh ex-showroom.

My budget allows me to rent a standalone apartment, which may or may not have a dedicated parking spot. In this case, is it safe to rely solely on DC public chargers considering the impact on battery health? For renters, are EVs a difficult choice if you don't live in a gated society with necessary charging arrangements, and does it make CNG a safer and cheaper choice?https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-mahindra-ev-between-be-6-sporteq-an-xev-9e-cineluxe-edition-is-better-501628Autocar Indiaen2026-08-29T20:00:07+05:30Which is the better choice between the Mahindra BE 6 SporteQ (top-spec) and the Mahindra XEV 9e Cineluxe Edition (top-spec)?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/Galleries/20220815063941_Mahindra EV 15.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/petrol-or-ev-car-under-15-16-lakh-501637Autocar Indiaen2026-08-29T19:00:04+05:30I own a petrol sedan.

I currently drive a 2023 Hyundai Creta Turbo top-end model and am looking to upgrade to a superior vehicle, with a budget of under Rs 30 lakh. My driving is evenly split between highways and city roads. Usually, there are two adults and one teenager in the car for 99% of my drives. I also admit that I do not have a strong parking sense, which makes me apprehensive about driving larger vehicles. I require a fully automatic car. Once a year, I travel with my family of four adults, one teenager, and a dog, along with substantial luggage to hilly destinations such as Shimla, Mussoorie, and Manali. My Creta has never struggled with the overall load, and I have never faced any issues with its performance or ability to handle steep climbs, even with the air conditioning on and the car fully loaded. The most economical option appears to be the top-end Alcazar, as it is currently available with a discount. However, I am considering the XUV700 top-end AX7L, as I believe it might offer more power and luxury. I am also anticipating the launch of the new MG Hector, which I expect to be more luxurious and fuel-efficient. Could you please advise me on which car would be most suitable for my requirements? If I opt for the top-end Alcazar Turbo Diesel, will it be capable of handling steep climbs with a full load, or should I consider the XUV700 with its 2.0-litre engine? Also, which of these vehicles would provide greater comfort in Delhi's bumper-to-bumper traffic?
