I have been using a 2014 Honda City i-VTEC CVT VX for the last 12 years with zero issues and have been really happy with it. The car has run just under 40,000km till date, as my monthly driving is only around 300km, mostly in the city. My spouse and I are not big car enthusiasts, so we do not know much about technical aspects, including engines and the like. Also, I am not a very big fan of too many digital controls on the dashboard. I need a good, spacious car with good exterior and interior quality and decent features.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/creta/500_3784.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-long-termer/mercedes-benz-e-220d-long-term-review-14-000km-report-440502Autocar Indiaen2026-08-03T08:00:00+05:30Mercedes-Benz E 220d long-term review, 14,000km reporthttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260803_042635_2f37ca8b.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/tvs-ronin-quarterly-sales-nearly-double-440367Autocar Indiaen2026-08-03T07:00:00+05:30TVS Ronin quarterly sales nearly double https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260802_174029_e8d94a2b.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-ola-s1-x-3kwh-electric-scooter-449116Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T22:00:00+05:30I am interested in buying the Ola S1 X 3 kWh electric scooter. Could you please advise?https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/hyundai-alcazar-petrol-vs-diesel-which-should-i-buy-455575Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T21:00:03+05:30Dear Autocar, I’m looking for some advice on a dilemma that I haven’t been able to resolve. I’m replacing my 2015 Audi Q3 Diesel, which has been an excellent long-distance tourer for us. I haven’t test-driven the Alcazar yet, but I plan to do so shortly. My annual running is relatively low, so this isn’t a petrol vs diesel question from a fuel-cost perspective. Our typical usage is very long road trips (Mumbai-Goa and similar), often 8-10 hours at a stretch, with two adults (my wife and me), our Beagle, and lots of luggage. We also drive through highways, ghats, villages and city traffic, so the car needs to feel effortless and confidence-inspiring in every situation, especially while climbing steep ghats with a full load. I’m considering the Hyundai Alcazar, but I’m confused between: 1. 1.5 Turbo Petrol DCT 2. 1.5 Diesel AT (Torque Converter) If the petrol had a conventional torque-converter automatic, I would probably choose it without a second thought. My dilemma exists only because the petrol comes with a DCT, whereas the diesel gets a torque-converter automatic, which is generally considered smoother and more refined at low speeds. My priorities are, in order: - Overall refinement and cabin quietness - Smoothness of the transmission in city traffic - Effortless performance while climbing ghats with a full load - Long-distance comfort and relaxed cruising - Long-term ownership experience and reliability I am not looking for maximum fuel economy or the lowest running costs. I also have another dilemma regarding the seating configuration. Should I choose the 6-seater with captain seats or the 7-seater with the bench seat? My wife almost always travels in the second row during our road trips. She normally likes sitting in the middle seat because she enjoys the forward view. However, from the videos I’ve watched, the captain seats in the 6-seater appear significantly more comfortable and supportive for long journeys. Based on my usage, which powertrain and seating configuration would you recommend, and why? Thank you.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Alcazar/500_1675.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-to-buy-for-sister-under-22-lakh-455388Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T20:00:00+05:30I am planning to buy a car for my sister. She currently drives a 2016 Volkswagen Polo diesel manual. The budget is around Rs. 20-22 lakh. Her priorities are a premium-looking interior, a feature-rich cabin, low maintenance costs, and good performance. A diesel engine is strongly preferred. She was initially interested in the Hyundai Creta, but someone advised her to wait because the Creta is expected to receive a facelift in March 2027. Please suggest some good options.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/Kia_Seltos_Cornering.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/industry/july-2026-ev-sales-monthly-car-volumes-cross-30000-units-for-the-second-time-440366Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T19:47:45+05:30July 2026 EV sales: Monthly volumes cross 30,000 units for the second timehttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260802_113219_cead3b66.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-to-buy-under-11-lakh-dzire-vs-swift-vs-amaze-vs-brezza-vs-fronx-455342Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T19:00:00+05:30I’m planning to buy a new car for casual use with a budget of under Rs. 11 lakh. It will primarily be used for city driving, including daily office commutes and occasional weekend trips, with an expected monthly running of around 300 to 400km. My priorities are reliability, low maintenance costs, good fuel efficiency, and a car that is hassle-free to own over the long term. I’m currently confused between the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Swift, Honda Amaze, New Brezza, and Fronx. I don’t specifically need a turbo-petrol engine, although I’m open to considering one if it offers good features. I would prefer a manual gearbox, but I’m also willing to consider an automatic or AMT if it delivers good mileage in city driving. The Dzire has caught my attention, but I’m slightly hesitant because of its three-cylinder engine.

My annual running is around 10,000km, with approximately 8,000km in the city and 2,000km on highways. My budget is Rs. 25-30 lakh. I also have rooftop solar and a dedicated home charging setup, so an EV is an option. Since I am a business owner, I can also claim depreciation benefits on an EV. Please suggest a car.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/carens-clavis-ev/500_4883%20copy.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-bike-should-i-buy-under-5-lakh-for-city-and-weekend-rides-453821Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T17:00:00+05:30I currently ride a Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and have been very happy with it. However, I now feel it's time to upgrade to something that offers more performance while also being more comfortable for everyday use. I'm not a fan of highly committed sportbikes like the Yamaha R15, which has an aggressive riding stance. Most of my riding is within the city, including daily office commutes, with the occasional weekend ride. My average monthly running is around 1,000 km. My budget is Rs 5 lakh (on-road). I've shortlisted a few motorcycles. The KTM Adventure S appeals to me even though I don't ride off-road, mainly because an adventure tourer is versatile and comfortable. The Triumph Speed 400 is another option I'm considering. I was also looking forward to buying a Royal Enfield 650, but the absence of tubeless tyres is making me reconsider. Can you suggest which one I should pick, or is there a better option as well?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/RoyalEnfield/Himalayan/500_2626.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/interviews/renault-group-india-ceo-stephane-deblaise-on-response-to-duster-and-future-plans-440876Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T16:52:43+05:30Renault Group India CEO Stephane Deblaise on response to Duster and future planshttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260802_112216_7e796bde.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-images/one-off-bentley-continental-gtc-s-image-gallery-440415Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T16:00:14+05:30One-off Bentley Continental GTC S image galleryhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/image-galleries/images/20260801_060038_b7f02e7d.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-my-second-car-be-an-ev-or-diesel-automatic-455254Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T16:00:00+05:30Hi Autocar India Team, I currently own a 2020 Ford EcoSport Titanium Diesel Manual, which has covered nearly 1,00,000 km. It continues to return around 16.5–18.5 km/l in mixed city and highway driving, and I plan to keep it for several more years. I'm now looking to buy a second vehicle and would appreciate your advice. My monthly driving is around 1,000–1,500 km, split between city and highway use. In addition, my family and I undertake a long road trip of approximately 1,500 km (round trip) or more once every three months. I live in Hyderabad, where EVs currently benefit from zero road tax, making them similarly priced to comparable diesel automatic vehicles. My priorities are value for money, comfortable long-distance touring, enough space for a family and luggage (preferably in a large SUV or MPV), reliability over the next 8–10 years, low running and maintenance costs, and strong safety, ride comfort, and resale value. Since I already own a dependable diesel manual that is well suited for long-distance travel, would you recommend buying an EV or another diesel automatic as my second vehicle? If you were making this purchase today, which large SUV or MPV would you consider the best value-for-money option, and why? I'd also appreciate recommendations across different budget ranges, if possible.

I'm keen on buying a lifestyle pickup truck. I don't really have a practical use case for it. It's purely a passion purchase, and I want something that stands out from ordinary vehicles. It will be my secondary car, mainly used for occasional family trips and some mild off-roading. I recently test-drove both the Isuzu V-Cross and the Toyota Hilux. I loved the Hilux for its strong performance and, the availability of a locking rear differential. However, I wasn't impressed with its ride quality. It felt quite stiff, and there was noticeable pitching from the back. When I drove the V-Cross on the same stretch of road, the ride felt much more comfortable. I also preferred the V-Cross for its looks and overall ride comfort. Now I'm confused about which one to buy. The Hilux is based on Toyota's current-generation platform, whereas the V-Cross is based on a much older platform. Toyota also has a stronger service network than Isuzu. So, it's a classic heart vs mind dilemma, and I'd really appreciate your help in choosing between these two vehicles.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/Hilux/20260528_01_03.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-automatic-car-should-we-buy-first-time-drive-under-10-lakhrs-455238Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T14:00:00+05:30Hello Autocar Team, My wife is 51 and I am 55. We are planning to buy an automatic car for my wife, with an expected monthly running of under 500 km. We are both first-time drivers and will be graduating from riding a scooter. Please suggest an automatic car with the smoothest transmission (no jerks), high reliability, low ownership costs, and that can negotiate bumper-to-bumper traffic. A small turning radius is also important because the lane opposite our stilt parking is quite narrow, with cars often parked in front of the building. The car needs to be reversed and turned into the parking space, so easy manoeuvrability is essential. Our budget was initially under Rs 10 lakh, but it is flexible if there is a significantly better option. We are looking for a car that will last at least 15 years. My wife will be the primary driver.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/tiago-ev/Tata_Tiago_EV_Facelift_Front_Quarter_Tracking_1.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/kia-syros-ev-vs-vinfast-vf6-whose-top-trim-offers-more-value-440863Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T13:02:18+05:30Kia Syros EV vs Vinfast VF6: Whose top trim offers more value?https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260731_064447_880a693f.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/tata-harrier-diesel-at-vs-harrier-ev-which-is-better-for-10-12-years-455282Autocar Indiaen2026-08-02T13:00:11+05:30I am confused between buying the Tata Harrier Pure X Dark Edition Diesel AT and the Tata Harrier EV Fearless+ 75 kWh.

The reason I am considering replacing my Baleno RS: Since E20 fuel has become the norm, the 2017 Baleno RS is not officially compatible with it. I have already noticed a significant mileage drop. More importantly, I am concerned that continued use of E20 fuel over the coming years, it might hamper the parts of my car. It has been almost 10 years since I bought this car. I feel it is the right time to upgrade to a newer vehicle that offers better technology, improved refinement, and modern safety features. Now that I have explained the reasons behind the upgrade, I have my eyes on the newly launched Brezza 2026 facelift, especially the ZXi+ variant with the 1.0-litre Boosterjet engine. It seems to offer the turbocharged performance I enjoy, while still delivering the fuel efficiency Maruti Suzuki is known for. Since I am upgrading from one Maruti Suzuki to another, I also expect to receive a better exchange value and a more attractive overall deal.

I am planning to buy a car with a budget of around Rs. 11-12.5 lakh (on-road price in Delhi NCR). I need an automatic car, and my monthly running will be approximately 600 km, mainly in city traffic, especially on the Delhi-Gurgaon peak traffic stretch. I prefer to keep my cars for a longer period and will be upgrading from a Hyundai i20 manual. Based on my requirements, please suggest the best option among the following: Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi AT - Rs. 11.9 lakh on-road Kia Sonet DCT HTK(O) - Rs. 11.2 lakh Maruti Suzuki Fronx Delta Plus AMT - Rs. 9.6 lakh Skoda Kylaq Signature Automatic - Rs. 11.2 lakh I am unable to decide which one would be the most suitable choice for my needs. Kindly suggest the best option.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kylaq/Skoda%20Kylaq_4.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-automatic-car-for-beginner-driver-i20-vs-glanza-vs-baleno-vs-venue-455202Autocar Indiaen2026-08-01T13:00:11+05:30Hello Autocar Team, I obtained my car driving licence over a year ago, but I have almost no real-world driving experience apart from the driving test. Since my father drives a Mahindra XUV300 Manual (he lives in another city), I was initially inclined to buy a Mahindra XUV 3XO AT (AX5/AX5L/REVX A). However, some advice I found online has encouraged me to consider buying a smaller, less powerful used car to drive for a year. After giving it some thought, I completely agree with the idea of starting with a smaller car, especially since I'll mostly be driving alone. After some research, I narrowed my options down to the Hyundai i20 AT (2021-2023 IVT) over the Toyota Glanza and Maruti Suzuki Baleno in Bengaluru. My plan is to use the car mainly for highway trips (I'm planning lots of temple visits across South, East, and West India) while also practising city driving over the next few months. As a motorcyclist, I've been riding a Triumph Scrambler 400 X for the past two years and occasionally go on highway rides. Although I'll be a new car driver, I don't want to feel that the car is underpowered after a short period of ownership. Along with the i20 (and the Glanza/Baleno), I've now also added the Hyundai Venue to my shortlist. P.S. I'm also planning to enrol in a 10-day doorstep driving instruction course. Could you please suggest which car would be the right choice for me? My key requirements are: Automatic transmission, beginner-friendly automatic gearbox, reasonably quiet cabin, good highway stability, and good or decent resale value after 12-15 monthshttps://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/i20/_AAB7144.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/honda-adv160-expected-price-and-launch-timeline-440351Autocar Indiaen2026-08-01T13:00:00+05:30Honda ADV160 expected price and launch timelinehttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260731_101448_18473d33.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/bmw-opens-bookings-for-the-7-series-and-i7-facelifts-440359Autocar Indiaen2026-08-01T12:51:53+05:30BMW opens bookings for the 7 Series and i7 faceliftshttps://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/BMW/7-series-facelift/BMW%207%20Series_2.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-video-reviews/2026-toyota-hilux-video-review-440503Autocar Indiaen2026-08-01T12:22:02+05:302026 Toyota Hilux video reviewhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260801_064813_4412ed12.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-reviews/2026-toyota-hilux-review-mr-indestructible-440501Autocar Indiaen2026-08-01T12:00:08+05:302026 Toyota Hilux review: Mr. Indestructiblehttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260731_092243_be22e02d.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-a-petrol-mid-size-suv-under-14-lakh-with-e20-fuel-concerns-455155Autocar Indiaen2026-08-01T11:55:00+05:30Hi, my monthly running is under 1,000 km, and I prefer a mid-size SUV as I'm over 6 feet tall. My driving is around 80% in the city and 20% on highways, and my budget is approximately Rs. 14 lakh. I'm confused about buying a petrol car due to the transition to E20 fuel.

My daily running is around 28 km, and I frequently encounter bumper-to-bumper traffic. My primary reasons for choosing this bike are to reduce fuel costs and have a capable motorcycle that is easy to handle in city traffic. However, I’m concerned about the software glitches and mapping issues reported by some owners. Is the Ultraviolette X47 Crossover a good choice for my requirements? Also, please suggest some petrol alternatives that would suit my usage.

I previously owned a pre-owned Toyota Glanza Petrol (October 2020 to April 2024), which covered 90,000 km, and I currently drive a Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG (April 2024-present), which has now clocked 96,000 km. While the running costs are low, driving a manual car daily has become physically tiring. Additionally, frequent CNG queues and the limited boot space are major inconveniences. Around 85% of my driving is on highways. My questions are: Is 1.5 lakh km the right financial milestone to sell my Brezza CNG before major maintenance or overhaul costs start increasing? I am looking for an automatic strong hybrid car that can comfortably run up to 1.5 lakh km with low maintenance, fatigue-free driving, and a dedicated spare wheel (stepney). Between the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Hybrid, Hyryder CNG, and Honda City e:HEV, which would be the better choice for my requirements? Looking forward to your guidance.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/urban-cruiser-hyryder/_DSC7231.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/tata-nexon-vs-mahindra-xuv-3xo-petrol-automatic-real-world-mileage-compared-440872Autocar Indiaen2026-08-01T09:00:04+05:30Tata Nexon vs Mahindra XUV 3XO petrol automatic: Real world mileage comparedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260731_130644_e6542af2.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-a-sub-compact-suv-or-a-mid-size-suv-for-rs-15-lakh-budget-and-low-annual-driving-454756Autocar Indiaen2026-08-01T09:00:00+05:30I want to buy my first car within a budget of around Rs. 15 lakh.
