I am looking for a very comfortable two-wheeler with exceptional suspension performance for potholes and bad roads because I suffer from back pain. I currently use a Honda Dio with small tyres (12/10-inch combination), and the ride is not very soft. Even small rumble strips send a jerk through the bike.

The on-road price difference is around Rs. 3 lakh, so I want to understand whether the Seltos is truly worth the extra cost. My typical usage includes 3,000-4,000km per year on moderate Indian roads, with occasional city driving. I also do weekend trips with family or friends, usually with 4-5 people. My car may sit idle for 15-20 days at a time.

To be frank, it is out of a lack of choice and options that I have made this decision in my head. In terms of capability, it is a downgrade, as I'm moving on from my beautiful Ford Endeavour 3.2 Titanium AT. Of course, it has a long list of bells and whistles that will be all new (and strange) to me. Being based in Delhi NCR, I am reluctant to go for a diesel again at this time. My driving in the city is quite minimal, say about 15kms max per day on average, but always in the clutches of peak Delhi traffic. I am terrified of BSVI diesel DPF horror stories. I am hoping that the 7X0 will be able to negotiate hills, mountain terrains and roads satisfactorily, as I make these trips quite frequently. I plan to keep this car for the next 4-5 years till India sorts out its fuel preferences and diktats, and fresh options are introduced that combine clean energy and performance along with the infrastructure to support them. Is my thought process sound? If not, please poke as many holes in it as you can.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/OP704174.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/xpulse-200-owner-looking-to-upgrade-should-i-wait-for-the-421-450359Autocar Indiaen2026-06-25T21:00:14+05:30I have been riding Xpulse 2004V for the last 3 years for Adventure & Touring with my wife.

Hello Everyone, I’m planning to replace my 2021 Maruti Suzuki Brezza (clocked 50000 km) and would love some guidance. My usage: Location: Chembur, Mumbai Office commute (3 days/week): -50 km round trip (Chembur-Airoli) Approx. monthly running: 1,000-1,200 km Regular weekend drives around Mumbai/Lonavala/Alibaug, with 8-12 outstation trips a year and 1-2 native (Konkan) trips annually. Family of 3, with parents and in-laws joining us on majority of trips. I also have a left knee ligament issue, so an automatic transmission is a must. I’ve test-driven the Kia Seltos Diesel AT, Mahindra XUV 7XO Diesel AT, and Tata Safari AT (only petrol was available for the test drive). I’m currently confused between the Seltos, XUV 7XO, Harrier and Safari. One additional challenge is that my apartment has a mechanical puzzle parking system. The parking platform is quite tight, although there is a 5.5 m driveway opposite the parking slot to help with maneuvering. So overall dimensions and ease of parking are also important. My priorities are: Reliability (8-10 years) Comfortable suspension Rear seat comfort Strong highway performance Good service support Easy city drivability Which one would you recommend based on my usage? Are there any ownership experiences, reliability concerns, or other SUVs in the 25-30 lakh budget that I should seriously consider?

I was surprised to find that neither showroom seemed particularly interested in promoting the AWD variants. The focus was largely on CNG and hybrid models, while even automatic variants did not seem very common. When it came to AWD versions, none of the dealerships in the NCR were willing to offer a test drive. In some cases, the sales staff did not even understand the AWD variant during the initial conversation and appeared to be poorly informed about its features. Nexa is positioned as a premium retail channel, but my experience did not feel significantly different from Arena. The overall sales and showroom experience felt quite similar. It almost seems as though Maruti Suzuki's sales channels are not making a strong effort to promote higher-ticket vehicles. Given this, should Nexa consider offering only vehicles priced above Rs.15 lakh in order to better justify its premium positioning?https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/renault-kiger-evolution-turbo-variant-launched-at-rs-789-lakh-440039Autocar Indiaen2026-06-24T12:50:18+05:30Renault Kiger Evolution+ Turbo variant launched at Rs 7.89 lakhhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260624_104356_06f70189.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/tata-sierra-ev-revealed-440038Autocar Indiaen2026-06-24T11:55:51+05:30Tata Sierra EV revealed https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260624_073411_46b8ff4a.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/are-top-end-variants-worth-stretching-budget-beyond-27-lakh-for-family-suv-450509Autocar Indiaen2026-06-24T11:55:00+05:30I am looking for a 7-seater family car in the budget of Rs. 25-27 lakh. I am already aware of the popular options in this segment including XUV 7XO, Safari, Scorpio-N, Kia Carens Clavis, etc. The challenge is that I keep getting tempted towards the top-end variants. Features like ADAS, panoramic sunroof, 360° camera, premium audio, ventilated seats, and all the latest tech make me question if I am getting everything after spending this much amount. At the same time, I am also struggling to differentiate what I genuinely need and what are nice-to-have features. I am in my late 20s and am a car enthusiast. I love driving and road trips. The car that I am looking for will be primarily used for family travel, city driving, and highway runs. My plan is to keep the car for around 5-7 years. I would like to know a few things from those who have owned or upgraded cars in this segment. Which features are genuinely useful in day-to-day ownership and which features feel exciting initially but, were rarely used later? Also, is it worth stretching my budget for top-end variants, or is the sweet spot usually the mid/high variant? If you were in my place and had the same budget today, which 7-seater would you buy and why? I am trying to make a rational decision rather than buying a car for features that I will rarely use.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/safari/GT_03679.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/mg-to-debut-plug-in-hybrid-suv-on-july-16-440037Autocar Indiaen2026-06-24T11:37:07+05:30MG to debut new plug-in hybrid SUV on July 16https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260624_062106_23d01564.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/industry/bajaj-auto-hit-by-ransomware-attack-operations-unaffected-440036Autocar Indiaen2026-06-24T11:22:39+05:30Bajaj Auto hit by ransomware attack, operations unaffectedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260624_055155_c1341239.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/what-is-the-right-way-to-transition-from-a-manual-gearbox-to-a-cvt-automatic-car-450522Autocar Indiaen2026-06-24T10:30:29+05:30What is the right way to start driving a CVT automatic car after driving a manual gearbox?https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-you-buy-the-current-hyundai-i20-asta-or-wait-for-the-facelift-bayon-and-other-feature-rich-automatic-alternatives-under-rs-14-lakh-450572Autocar Indiaen2026-06-24T10:00:22+05:30I'm a first-time car buyer looking for an automatic petrol car mainly for city use and occasional long trips.

Is it a good time to buy the current i20, or should I wait for the facelift or even the Bayon? Are there any good alternatives like the Venue or Sonet? I am avoiding Maruti Suzuki because I feel the features offered and safety ratings are poor compared to the competition at the same price.

We prioritise rear-seat comfort and a powerful engine. We do not want an electric vehicle and are not looking for entry-level luxury cars like the BMW X1 or Mercedes-Benz GLA. We are considering the Toyota Camry or waiting for the new Hyundai Santa Fe or Tucson. Our current vehicle is a Hyundai Tucson diesel 4x4, which we enjoyed for its soft suspension, rear-seat comfort, and 186bhp engine. We are looking for a new car, not a used one. Please help us out, Autocar. We live in Patna and recently bought a Hyundai Aura for our son to learn to drive. It does not seem to have a problem with the roads here, so we are considering buying a Camry or waiting. Is there any other car you would suggest?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/Camry/OP7_0732.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/best-electric-suvs-between-rs-20-40-lakh-440701Autocar Indiaen2026-06-24T08:01:23+05:30Best electric SUVs in Rs 20 lakh-Rs 40 lakh rangehttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260623_135805_7bc8669a.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-is-the-safer-long-term-ev-ownership-choice-in-india-vinfast-vf7-or-byd-atto-3-450577Autocar Indiaen2026-06-24T08:00:00+05:30Between the VinFast VF7 and the BYD Atto 3, which would be the safer ownership choice in India, considering service network, parts availability, and long-term support?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/vinfast/vf7/DSC_7261.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/2026-suzuki-burgman-street-3-reasons-to-buy-and-2-reasons-to-skip-it-440702Autocar Indiaen2026-06-24T07:00:17+05:303 reasons to buy the new Suzuki Burgman Street and 2 reasons to skip ithttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260623_170543_5520adfe.jpg
