It has covered 2.75 lakh km. Even today, I am inclined towards the Innova HyCross because of Toyota's reliability and long-term ownership experience. I am looking for a spacious family vehicle that offers comfort, good ride and handling, reliability, and is enjoyable to drive. My annual running is approximately 9,500 km, with 70% city use in Mumbai and 30% highway use, mainly on the Mumbai-Satara route. My budget is Rs 26 lakh, and the Hycross Hybrid is beyond that. I have considered the HyCross GX(O) petrol, but I am concerned about its fuel efficiency in city conditions. Should I still consider it? If not, what other options would suit my requirements? I am open to both SUVs and MPVs, although I am not inclined towards the Ertiga, XL6, or Kia Carens, as they do not feel like significant upgrades.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/innova-hycross/500_6252.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-safe-and-fuel-efficient-petrol-automatic-car-under-25-lakh-is-most-future-ready-448967Autocar Indiaen2026-06-04T09:00:00+05:30We're a family of three. I'm looking for a reliable petrol automatic with high safety, good fuel efficiency, E20 compliance, ADAS features, and all the modern equipment expected in a B- or C-segment car. A strong hybrid would be preferred, although options are limited. My budget is ideally under Rs 20 lakh on-road, with a maximum stretch to Rs 25 lakh. Running will be 30% city and 70% highway. Future-proofing is important, and while E20 compliance is essential, I am also interested in vehicles that may be compatible with future E30 fuel blends. Please suggest at least three models.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0274.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-tata-punch-ev-now-or-wait-for-the-next-generation-nexon-ev-449104Autocar Indiaen2026-06-04T08:30:00+05:30I'm looking to buy an EV in the 13-15 lakh budget range.

At the time, it was the perfect choice for my usage. However, my circumstances have changed significantly since then-I now have two large dogs (a Labrador and a German Shepherd), and the City is no longer practical for transporting both dogs comfortably, especially on longer highway trips. I am trying to decide between keeping the City and buying a second EV primarily for dog transport and city use, or replacing the City altogether with a single-car solution. The vehicles I am considering include the Kia Carens Clavis EV, Mahindra XEV 9S, Mahindra XEV 9e, BYD eMAX 7, and Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid. My priorities are: Comfortable transport for two large dogs Highway touring ability Ease of parking and city usability Long-term ownership (8–10 years) Good ride comfort Reasonable running costs Would you recommend: 1. Keeping the Honda City and adding a practical EV (such as the Clavis EV), or 2. Moving to a single-car garage and choosing something like the XEV 9S, eMAX 7, or Hycross? Also, is there a midsize SUV (EV, hybrid, petrol or diesel) that offers: A low boot loading lip, Rear seats that fold nearly flat, Enough cargo length and width for two large dogs to comfortably lie down on highway trips, While still being manageable in city traffic and parking?
