Although, I love diesel cars but since I live in Faridabad, my biggest concern is about increasing bans and restrictions on diesel cars. My main usage is on highways and bit within the city. I have clocked 1.3 lakh km on my Dzire in 8-9 years. I am getting the exact Harrier EV model for Rs. 22 lakh (on-road) whereas the XEV 9S will cost around Rs. 27-28 lakh (on-road) and that is my biggest confusion. Should I spend this additional amount on the XEV 9S for Harrier ev because I don't want any hassles as an since I plan to keep the car for the next several years.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/harrier-ev/OP707206.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-diesel-car-to-buy-under-30-lakh-for-3000km-monthly-running-504243Autocar Indiaen2026-10-22T18:05:55+05:30I am currently driving Fronx and now I want to upgrade to diesel car for 2 people under a budget of 25 lakh to 30 lakh for my current running of 3000 km which includes 80% running on highways.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/OP704174.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/ultraviolette-x-47-venom-launched-from-rs-265-lakh-441111Autocar Indiaen2026-10-22T17:53:45+05:30Ultraviolette X-47 Venom launched from Rs 2.65 lakhhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20261022_121948_f11bdd92.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-ev-should-i-buy-under-20-lakh-in-hyderabad-504274Autocar Indiaen2026-10-22T17:30:01+05:30Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to buy an electric vehicle for my daily commute of approximately 80 km in Hyderabad, with a budget of up to Rs. 20 lakh.

We liked the new Kia Seltos HTK (Optional) and want to go for an automatic. However, we are confused about which powertrain to choose: diesel automatic, turbo-petrol DCT or naturally aspirated (NA) petrol IVT. We currently own a BS4 diesel Maruti Suzuki Swift in our hometown, so we would love a car that offers an exciting driving experience. However, we are concerned about potential DPF issues with BS6 Phase 2 diesel engines, especially with predominantly city driving. We are also worried about possible overheating issues with the turbo-petrol DCT in heavy traffic, while the NA petrol IVT did not feel particularly exciting to drive. Which powertrain would you recommend for our usage and driving preferences, given a budget of around Rs. 20 lakh?

However, given Audi's relatively low market share right now, could resale value be a concern? Also, would the BMW 3 Series be a better buy?

Please continue with your impartial reviews. I currently own a 2015 Vento Highline Petrol and still fall in love with the car whenever I take it on long drives. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much movement in the sedan segment. We can stretch our budget to Rs 40 lakh on-road. Our primary use will be planned or unplanned road trips, with limited city driving. EVs concern me because of battery life and charging infrastructure. Petrol cars are a concern because of E20 and the possibility of higher ethanol blending in the future. Hybrids haven't convinced me either. I also don't want to consider premium hatchbacks like the Creta and Seltos. We have narrowed our choices to the Jeep Meridian Overland or Compass 4x4, although Stellantis' long-term commitment remains a concern; the Kia Sorento Diesel AWD; and the Mahindra XUV 7XO Diesel 4x4. Please share your unbiased recommendation. Thanks and regards, Yashodhan Patelhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/car-images/kia/sorento/kia-sorento-front-left-three-quarter-2.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-vw-taigun-topline-mt-as-my-first-car-for-long-term-ownership-504128Autocar Indiaen2026-10-21T09:38:59+05:30I’m planning to buy the new VW Taigun Topline MT as my first car. I’m a first-time buyer with no driving experience, but I’m genuinely interested in learning to drive and want a manual transmission rather than an automatic. My annual usage will be around 5,000–7,000km, mostly a mix of city and highway driving, and I intend to keep the car for 10–12 years. Safety is one of my biggest priorities, followed by looks, driving enjoyment and long-term ownership costs. Would you recommend the Taigun Topline MT over alternatives like the Hyundai Creta SX MT, Kia Seltos HTX MT or Duster Adventure? I’m choosing the Taigun because I like its looks, features and driving experience, but I want an honest assessment rather than a recommendation based solely on performance or enthusiast appeal. Would you go ahead with this choice in my situation?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/volkswagen/taigun/2026_Volkswagen_Taigun_Front_Quarter_Tracking_1.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/interviews/forget-diesel-go-hybrid-renaults-stephane-deblaise-441205Autocar Indiaen2026-10-21T09:00:00+05:30Forget diesel, go hybrid: Renault’s Stephane Deblaisehttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20261019_134215_d13bd602.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/mercedes-amg-gt-suv-vs-rivals-specifications-compared-441206Autocar Indiaen2026-10-21T08:00:04+05:30Mercedes-AMG GT SUV vs rivals: Specifications comparedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20261019_121112_c231e470.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/5-things-to-know-about-the-kawasaki-z300-441211Autocar Indiaen2026-10-21T07:00:00+05:305 things to know about the Kawasaki Z300https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20261020_183757_42b0a0d0.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-diesel-car-should-i-buy-under-11-lakh-504113Autocar Indiaen2026-10-20T22:00:04+05:30I am planning to upgrade from my Hyundai i10.

It suits my family of three for city use as well as long road trips, including journeys from Kashmir to Kerala and Jaisalmer. However, I now want to upgrade to something bigger. I don't like the looks of the Toyota Innova HyCross, Mahindra XUV 7XO or Tata Safari. I also have reservations about ladder-frame SUVs I test-drove the Mahindra Scorpio N briefly in traffic and found it moved around more over bad roads than my monocoque Creta. I want something imposing, like the Toyota Fortuner, but am unsure about moving to a ladder-frame SUV. Should I wait for the JSW Combat, which will have monocoque construction, or would that be a risk in terms of reliability?
