My budget is a maximum of 17, where hoping I will get a resale value of 2 lakhs on the Swift, and 15 will be made in a loan. Changing cars because I want an automatic car. 

My driving is mostly 10k yearly. My driving pattern is local riding of 100km on working days in a week, mostly sedative driving. Weekend ride to the hometown of 400km to and from, which is a little aggressive, takes quick overtakes. As swift is capable of doing it. Since I don&apos;t have experience with turbo cars, where they are reliable in the long term. I am looking forward to using the car for the next 10 years. 

While suggesting, also recommend the type of automatic gearbox to choose. My father owns a VW Virtus 1.0 Highline. I don&apos;t use that car much. So the new car should compete with that car too, and family or I should feel downgraded from that car.

Also, the new one should not be a sedan. What are my options currently, and should I wait for any upcoming cars? My priorities are a decent engine for the long term, maintenance should also be decent, as I feel Virtus maintenance is not something I can manage, coming from using a swift, decent fuel economy, decent power, confidence on steep hills, and good resale value. Keeping this order on priority, suggest to me some cars.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/Galleries/20241125092757_HondaElevateFront34.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/vinfast-vf6-vs-nexon-ev-vs-windsor-ev-under-17-lakh-448194</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-22T20:00:41+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Hi, I am planning to buy an EV in the 15-17 lakh range.

I’m open to stretching the budget a bit if I find a truly amazing car or one with cutting-edge tech.

Right now, I have an R-Pass booking for the Duster Hybrid.

I took the Duster 1.3L DCT for a spin and absolutely loved the driving feel and the engine. The front cabin was also quite nice. However, my family felt the rear was a bit cramped and congested. It’s usually just my wife and me travelling; my family rarely joins us for long trips.

So, we’re still deciding whether to stick with the hybrid or explore other options because of the cramped space at the rear. Also, if they launch it at ₹24-25L starting, it would make it overpriced for the quality and experience it offers.

I also test-drove a Seltos Diesel Automatic. Everyone enjoyed it equally. The only thing it didn’t quite have was the performance of the VW or Duster 1.3. But overall, it’s a good, stable car with good comfort and a smooth drive.

I’m a bit worried about the ethanol mixing updates without proper planning by the government, and how it would affect our petrol cars since they support E20 only. Hence, Diesel feels safer, especially since I can do weekly or bi-weekly highway trips through the Atal-Setu/Palm Beach Road to get the right amount of highway running to avoid DPF troubles.

I don’t have a home charger for an EV for at least a year until I shift into our new apartment, so I’m not sure if I should consider them. Also, there aren’t any reliable EVs within my budget except for the Hyundai Creta EV. It’s a nice car, but it feels a bit outdated and isn’t rated as safe as a 5-star vehicle. Staying away from Tata cars.
Any suggestions welcome.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0276.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/2026-triumph-bonneville-t120-bobber-and-speedmaster-launched-in-india-439791</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-22T13:22:42+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>2026 Triumph Bonneville T120, Bobber and Speedmaster launched in India</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260522_074736_3b0aadc6.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/honda-reveals-zr-v-hybrid-as-its-flagship-suv-in-india-439786</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-22T12:43:33+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Honda reveals ZR-V Hybrid as its flagship SUV in India</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260522_070503_e91437f3.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/2026-honda-city-launched-at-rs-12-lakh-439789</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-22T12:42:30+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>2026 Honda City launched at Rs 12 lakh </news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260522_071105_b9f1f96e.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-cng-cars-under-10-lakh-for-city-village-and-highway-driving-448119</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-22T12:40:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>My budget is under ₹10 lakh, and I am planning to buy a CNG car.

I’m open to stretching the budget a bit if I find a truly amazing car or one with cutting-edge tech.

Right now, I hold a R-Pass booking for the Duster Hybrid.

I took the Duster 1.3L DCT for a spin and absolutely loved the driving feel and the engine. The front cabin was also quite nice. However, my family felt the rear was very cramped and congested. I don’t want people sitting in the rear complaining about my car space. 

It’s usually just my wife and me travelling; my family rarely joins us for long trips.
So, we’re still deciding whether to stick with the hybrid or explore other options because of the cramped space at the rear. 
Also, if they launch it at ₹ 24-25 L, starting it would be overpriced for the quality it offers.

I also test-drove a Seltos Diesel Automatic. Everyone enjoyed it equally. The only thing it didn’t quite have was the performance of the VW or Duster 1.3. But overall, it’s a good, stable car with good comfort and a smooth drive, the best overall.

I’m a bit worried about the ethanol blending updates without proper planning by the government, and how it will affect our petrol cars, as the maximum supported blending is E20. Diesel feels safer, especially since staying in Mumbai, I can do weekly or bi-weekly highway trips through the Atal-Setu/Palm Beach Road to get the right amount of highway running to avoid DPF issues.

I don’t have a home charger for an EV for at least a year until I shift into our new apartment, so I’m not sure if I should consider them. Also, there aren’t any reliable EVs within my budget except for the Hyundai Creta EV. It’s a nice car, but it feels a bit outdated and isn’t rated as safe as a 5-star vehicle. Staying away from Tata cars.
Any suggestions welcome</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Renault/duster/500_5520.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-diesel-automatic-suv-under-17-lakh-nexon-creta-seltos-comparison-448062</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-21T12:40:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Hi,
