I live in a Tier-5 city that also has some hilly terrain. My usage is around 40% city driving and 60% highway driving, and my annual running is moderate. I like the Honda Elevate for its engine response, strong initial pickup, mid-range performance, long-term reliability, and generous rear-seat legroom. However, I am not entirely comfortable with the driver's seating position and legroom, and I feel it may not be as comfortable on long drives. Another concern is that the nearest Honda service centre is about 100 km away from my location. On the other hand, the Kia Seltos offers a much better interior, more features, excellent driving comfort, and ample legroom. While the rear-seat space is not as generous as the Elevate, it is still comfortable and sufficient for my needs. It also has a service centre close to my location, a good service record, and better parts availability. However, I find the initial pickup to be less impressive, and I am slightly concerned about the engine's long-term reliability. Considering all these factors, which one would you recommend as a family car?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0280.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/new-fourth-gen-hyundai-i20-leaked-in-full-439945Autocar Indiaen2026-06-12T12:28:38+05:30New fourth-gen Hyundai i20 leaked in full https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260612_065824_836ef7cb.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/2026-harley-davidson-super-glide-is-a-nostalgia-inducing-street-bob-439944Autocar Indiaen2026-06-12T12:16:53+05:302026 Harley-Davidson Super Glide is a nostalgia-inducing Street Bobhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260612_064208_2cfa5e06.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-upgrade-to-an-ev-or-petrol-suv-for-low-annual-running-449478Autocar Indiaen2026-06-12T11:00:00+05:30Hi experts, I own a Baleno RS and am looking to upgrade to an SUV.

I recently tested the Duster and enjoyed the drive, but the rear-seat space was not up to the mark. I am also thinking of checking out the Sierra.

We stay in Mumbai and currently own a Nexon EV Max for our daily commute. Our running isn't extremely high (it is around 6000 kms in a year) with 80% driving in the city and rest on 2-3 long road trips a year. I want a car that should be a looker! If you don't turn around every time you park your car to get that last glimpse, then it's not the right car. The interiors should feel luxurious and premium. My main preference is for physical knobs with tactile feel. The car should be spacious enough to carry four people comfortably over long journeys. It should be able to glide over bad roads so that it saves our backs from the off roading experience on Mumbai roads. I'm a huge driving enthusiast so I definitely want as much power as possible under the hood with great cornering ability and a feel some steering. It should be reasonably well specced. Electronically adjustable seats with memory, seat ventilation, 3 zone climate control, 360 degree camera, ADAS Level 2 (that can be turned off), Head Up Display, Panaromic Sunroof, etc are all great to have, but these are not deal-breakers. I would also appreciate a spacious boot for long road trips. Also, my dad loves hybrids. Based on all these requirements, I have shortlisted following cars: Skoda Kodiaq: It still looks good from the front but the side profile and rear are a downgrade from last gen. The alloys are hideous but its lounge version start at Rs.37 lakh (ex-showroom) that makes it the cheapest amongst the competition and really good value at that price. The interiors are just perfect as I expect how modern interiors should be. It is also well specced, spacious, comfortable and has a massive boot. My biggest worry is that it is too big and manoeuvring it in Mumbai traffic will be a huge pain and for a family of 3-4, taking up so much space on the road seems unnecessary. VW Tiguan: This car looks amazing especially in nightshade blue. It is perfectly spacious for 4 people with a great sized boot. Arguably the best to drive in this list especially with DCC Pro but the lack of physical knobs and buttons is a turnoff. And I've heard about the badly calibrated ADAS in it. It's also very weirdly specced for the price with manual seat adjust. I think this too can be considered a great VFM price post huge discounts. Audi A4: I love its classy look as its interiors look premium. My family loves the seating comfort of sedans and I've heard amazing things about the ride comfort of A4. It doesn't have Quattro which is disappointing but my main worry is the rear seat space/comfort. Also, it requires more maintenance than other brands in this list. In terms of specs, A4 has been updated with a lot of expected things at this price. Q3: It has a weaker engine than A4 and its looks do not appeal to me. Interiors also don't look as premium. Its specs are also not that great to me. I am also worried about legroom and space in the rear. The main advantages are Quattro and higher ground clearance. X1: This looks way better than a lot of BMW cars these days. It has a good looking interior but has no physical buttons. Overall, it is a well specced, spacious and comfortable car. BMW has been a dream for both me and my dad but the severely underpowered engine is disappointing. My Nexon EV Max makes more power and torque and it is quicker from 0-100 than the X1. Toyota Camry: I love the new look especially in cement grey colours. Its interior is also nice. Its rear seat is the most comfortable among the list. Toyota's guaranteed reliability and added savings through hybrid efficiency make it appealing. I am mainly worried about the low ground clearance and length of the car as manouvering it around town might not be easy. I've owned a Honda, Hyundai and Tata in the past so far so, all the above brands will be a new experience for us. I am looking forward to hearing Autocar expert opinion on this, especially from those who have owned these cars or have driven them.https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260316_104517_1d6962ad.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/alto-k10-amt-vs-celerio-amt-for-solo-driving-in-delhi-449605Autocar Indiaen2026-06-11T14:00:00+05:30I primarily drive within Delhi city and am usually the sole occupant of the car.

I am looking to buy a second car purely as a city EV for Chennai, with a budget of around Rs 15 lakh on-road, though I can stretch slightly if justified. My typical usage includes daily city driving, client meetings, airport runs and occasional family outings. I drive around 10,000km per year and usually keep my cars for 7-9 years or until they reach around 1 lakh kilometres. My priorities are: ride comfort and suspension, reliability over 7-9 years, battery warranty and long-term ownership confidence, service network and availability of parts, ease of driving and parking in city traffic, resale value after 7-9 years, and real-world range of at least 300km. I have already test-driven several EVs, including the Mahindra BE 6, Hyundai Creta EV, Kia Carens EV, MG ZS EV, Maruti e Vitara and VinFast VF 6. While I liked the Mahindra and VinFast products, I am now wondering whether a smaller and more affordable EV makes more sense since I already have the Ciaz for highway duties. Which EV would you recommend as the best secondary city car for long-term ownership in India today? Would you choose the Tata Punch EV, Nexon EV, Tiago EV, MG Windsor EV or another option altogether? Looking forward to your advice.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/nexon-ev/_AAB1805.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-a-cng-ev-or-diesel-car-for-high-daily-running-and-long-term-ownership-449367Autocar Indiaen2026-06-10T09:45:00+05:30Hi.
