I am not keen on turbo or 3-cylinder engines. My yearly running is around 8,000-10,000km, with 70% city use. I shortlisted the Honda Amaze ZX CVT/MT, Honda Elevate V MT and Kia Seltos HTE(O) MT. I also checked out the Kia Carens Premium(O), Kia Syros HTK+/HTK+(O). I want something comfortable for my parents, suitable for bad roads and reliable in the long term, especially with future E27 and BS7 norms coming. What should I buy? I am mostly a sedate driver, but occasionally like to put pedal to the metal on highways. I am buying it in the second half of June 2026 and will pay upfront. P.

My driving mainly consists of trips ranging from 50-150 km one way, although occasionally the distance may extend further. Considering this usage pattern, would it make more sense to buy an EV or a diesel automatic car? My budget is around ₹15-18 lakh.https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260123_044113_c1d27ca2.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-used-suv-under-10-lakh-for-family-highway-and-city-use-447948Autocar Indiaen2026-05-20T17:45:00+05:30Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to buy a used SUV in Pune with a budget of up to ₹10 lakh and would really appreciate your suggestions. We are a family of four, and I am the only driver. I am 6’2” and slightly on the heavier side, so cabin space, seat comfort, and good driving ergonomics are very important to me. My usage includes a daily office commute of around 20 km, along with regular weekend trips and frequent drives to Konkan. Because of this, good ground clearance, ride comfort, and highway stability are essential requirements. My priorities are: Safety Comfort Reliability Low maintenance costs Decent fuel efficiency Good boot space Could you please advise on the following: Best used SUVs under ₹10 lakh for my requirements Whether petrol or diesel would suit my usage better Manual vs automatic transmission Ideal model year/age of vehicle to target Which models or engines should be avoided in the used car market Reliable platforms to buy from, such as Spinny, Cars24, CarDekho, etc. Important things to inspect before finalising a used SUV purchase Looking forward to your advice. Thanks!https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/creta/500_4041.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-fuel-type-for-mixed-city-and-highway-driving-usage-448085Autocar Indiaen2026-05-20T17:15:00+05:30Currently, I have been using a Maruti Suzuki Celerio CNG for more than 8 years.

I do like the Victoris, but, I am not sure whether it has been able to capture the market well enough, which makes me concerned about its resale value and spare parts availability in the future. Please assist. Kindly note that I am looking for a car that will be used mostly for long-distance travel, with limited city usage.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/victoris/3.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/bmw-unveils-manual-only-m3-cs-as-a-send-off-to-sixth-gen-m3-439769Autocar Indiaen2026-05-19T16:47:20+05:30BMW unveils manual-only M3 CS as a send-off to sixth-gen M3https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260519_100739_a5e2b4cd.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/comfortable-and-durable-family-car-under-15-lakh-for-rural-and-city-use-448022Autocar Indiaen2026-05-19T16:30:00+05:30Hello Autocar India Team, I am planning to buy a new family car with a maximum on-road budget of ₹13-14.5 lakh and would love your recommendation. My requirements include strong engine performance, good features, ample cabin space, 5-star safety, good fuel efficiency, comfortable ride quality, and solid build quality. I currently own a Renault Kwid and am looking for a car that would be a significant upgrade in every aspect, including performance, comfort, safety, and overall driving experience. My usage will be approximately 65% on rural roads and 35% in city driving, so ride comfort, ground clearance, and durability are especially important to me. I am particularly interested in the new Renault Duster Techno 1.0 variant and would like to know whether it would be a suitable choice for my needs. If not, please suggest other cars within this budget that you believe offer a better overall package. Thank you for your guidance.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0276.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-exchange-my-2019-dzire-for-a-new-venue-or-brezza-with-low-monthly-running-448029Autocar Indiaen2026-05-19T16:00:00+05:30I currently own a 2019 Maruti Suzuki Dzire ZXi Plus, which has covered 85,000 km. I have received an exchange valuation of Rs 4.85 lakh against a new Hyundai Venue or Maruti Brezza. Considering my monthly usage has now decreased to just 600 km, would it be financially prudent to proceed with the exchange, or would it be wiser to retain my current car for another few years?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Dzire/500_8916.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-images/bmw-motorrad-vision-k-18-image-gallery-440289Autocar Indiaen2026-05-19T15:50:50+05:30BMW Motorrad Vision K 18 Image Galleryhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/image-galleries/images/20260519_101654_c8f79457.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-wait-for-the-sierra-ev-after-booking-the-mahindra-xev-9s-for-bangalore-city-use-448042Autocar Indiaen2026-05-19T15:30:00+05:30Asking on behalf of a colleague. He plans to buy an EV for regular use, which includes weekly office work (3-4 days), weekend trips with his small family, all within the Bangalore city area. He has booked the Mahindra XEV 9S. Should we wait for the launch of Sierra EV, as it is a bit smaller in size, which may be useful for his city usage? Also, since the Sierra petrol and diesel are still not visible on Bangalore roads as of mid-May 2026, despite having a huge hype during launch, would waiting for the Sierra EV be a wise decision or just a waste of time? Can the increasing petrol price lead to an increase in the cost of EVs? The Bangalore government has already removed the road tax discount on EVs.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xev-9s/_AAB8443_1.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-to-buy-under-10-lakh-for-highway-use-with-good-mileage-and-boot-space-448051Autocar Indiaen2026-05-19T15:00:00+05:30Which car should I buy with an Rs 8-9.5 lakh budget and 15,000km annual running?
