Given the ongoing discounts, the Curvv EV variants are now priced similarly to the Windsor EV.

My daily usage is mostly in the city, covering around 60-80 km, along with frequent weekend highway drives. While the Windsor EV offers better rear seat space, my primary concerns are safety and ride comfort, especially since I will be travelling with a small child.

I would also like to understand how useful ADAS features are on Indian roads. Do they genuinely improve safety, or can they become a hassle, such as sudden braking, particularly in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic during daily commutes?

Which of these two EVs would be the better choice for my needs?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/curvv-ev/500_3599.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/bike-video-reviews/royal-enfield-flying-flea-c6-video-review-440385</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-07T12:48:31+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 video review</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260407_071814_63d8e926.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/classic-legends-to-launch-a-new-scrambler-on-april-23-439389</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-07T12:39:46+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Classic Legends to launch a new Scrambler on April 23</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260407_070551_6837fd1d.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/future-of-used-evs-resale-value-maintenance-concerns-explained-445075</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-07T12:35:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am one of the early owners of the Mahindra XUV400, which I purchased in March 2023. So far, I have driven approximately 1,17,000 km. Apart from a few minor BMS software-related issues, the vehicle has been trouble-free, and I have not noticed any significant drop in range even after 1 lakh km.
Having gotten used to driving an EV, I now find it difficult to switch back to ICE vehicles. My daily running exceeds 100 km, which also helps keep my running costs low.
However, I am concerned about the future maintenance costs and resale value, as many buyers seem hesitant to purchase used EVs due to uncertainty around long-term maintenance.
In my opinion, EVs are generally easier to maintain compared to ICE cars. Given this, what does the future look like for used EVs in the market?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/Galleries/20220908083207_XUV400_front_resized.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/tata-safari-vs-xuv-7xo-best-7-seater-suv-under-22-lakh-445079</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-07T12:05:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Hello Autocar, I am planning to upgrade from my Renault Duster to a 6/7-seater SUV with a budget of around ₹22 lakh.

I am confused between the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7L (diesel/petrol) and the Toyota Innova Hycross ZX(O). While the XUV 7XO offers more features, a better interior, and is about ₹10 lakh more affordable, the Innova Hycross seems more reliable, comfortable, and fuel-efficient.

I am also concerned about potential software issues in the XUV 7XO, similar to what has been reported in the XUV700. Additionally, the diesel variant raises concerns about DPF-related issues, whereas the petrol variant has relatively low fuel efficiency.

The car will mostly be used by my father for office commutes, and it should be comfortable for my grandmother on longer journeys. We frequently travel from Navi Mumbai to Pune (almost once a month) and may take occasional long trips to Rajasthan every couple of years.

Given these factors, is it worth paying the additional ₹10 lakh for the Innova Hycross despite having fewer features?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/innova-hycross/500_7180.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/new-triumph-speed-400-vs-rivals-price-and-specification-comparison-440403</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-07T07:00:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>New Triumph Speed 400 vs rivals: price and specification comparison</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260406_195634_5dd33c2e.jpeg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/tesla-unveils-its-fifth-supercharger-outlet-in-india-439386</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-06T21:31:26+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Tesla unveils its fifth Supercharger outlet in India</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260406_154214_96bfb063.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/kia-seltos-vs-renault-duster-which-better-budget-comfort-mileage-suv-444954</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-06T19:45:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am confused between the Kia Seltos G1.5 6MT HTE(O) and the Duster 1.3 ltr Evolution models.

What attracts me most is its design, performance, and strong off-road capability, which feels like a significant step up from my current bike.

However, I am not very experienced in off-road riding yet, although I am keen to learn and improve over time.

In this context, I would appreciate your expert advice on the following:

What are the key pros and cons of upgrading to the 390 Enduro R from a Duke 200?
Is it a sensible choice for someone new to off-road riding, or could it feel too demanding initially?
How manageable is the bike for everyday city use in terms of comfort, heat, and practicality?
Would I be underutilising the bike if I only ride off-road occasionally on weekends?

Additionally, how does it compare with alternatives like the Himalayan 450, KTM 390 Adventure X, and Triumph Scrambler 400 X for my usage?

Lastly, what specific aspects should I focus on during a test ride before making a final decision?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/ktm/390-enduro-r/_AAB1986.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/cng-surges-past-diesel-in-fy2026-439383</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-06T18:44:34+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>CNG widens gap over diesel in FY2026</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260406_135738_4ff85642.png</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/hero-xtreme-250r-issues-should-you-wait-for-updated-model-launch-444604</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-06T18:41:01+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am planning to buy a bike, and I am considering the Hero Xtreme 250R.

I was initially interested in the Mahindra Scorpio N 4WD, but after a test drive, I realised that the third row is not very practical for my family, as my children are grown up and find it cramped.
So, I am now considering the Mahindra XUV7XO. However, I am confused between the petrol and diesel AWD variants. Some people say AWD is not very effective. My expectation is that AWD should at least help on snow/ice roads and for mild off-roading.
My daily driving is around 20 km in bumper-to-bumper city traffic, and my monthly running is about 900–1,000 km. If I decide not to go for AWD, should I choose the petrol or diesel variant instead? Please advise.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/DSC_8780.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/bajaj-pulsar-ns400z-launched-in-spain-439362</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-05T07:05:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z launched in Spain</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260402_101418_b950f4ea.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url></urlset>
