Which would be the best option in terms of value for money? I also like sporty looks. We plan to set up home charging.

I take outstation trips of approximately 1,000 km every 2-3 months. I am planning to buy the XUV 7XO automatic. Considering the 10-year validity for diesel vehicles and the DPF clogging issue due to low running, should I go for the diesel or petrol variant?

I’m 5 feet 11 inches tall and weigh 95 kg. My daily commute is around 40-45 km. Initially, I was considering the Honda H'ness CB350, but it’s quite expensive. Then I thought about the Honda Unicorn, but it feels too basic and lacks excitement. The Yamaha FZ series seems a bit over-styled to me. I also rode the TVS Apache RTR 180 2V, but considering my height, it felt too small. Now I’m confused between the Bajaj Pulsar 180 (OG) and the Bajaj Pulsar N160. The Pulsar 180 offers excellent value for money, while the N160 comes with many modern features. However, since I’ll also be riding with my family, I’m leaning towards the Pulsar 180 because of its long, single-piece seat, which is more comfortable for both the rider and the pillion. I’d really appreciate your suggestions and guidance on which one would be the better choice. @autocar.indiahttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260203_101944_074c174b.webphttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-skoda-kushaq-1-0-or-1-5-451473Autocar Indiaen2026-07-08T15:30:52+05:30I own a 2017 Corolla Altis.

I own a Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line costing over Rs. 60 lakhs on road. After tyre damage, I approached the authorised service network and was informed that the OEM tyre size - 255/45 R19 - is not available in India. This is a safety-critical consumable, not a cosmetic accessory. For a premium CBU SUV, it is deeply disappointing that owners are left struggling to source the standard tyre size after damage. This concern may not be limited to the Tiguan R-Line alone. The Volkswagen Tayron R-Line in India also uses the same 255/45 R19 tyre size, and the recently launched Skoda Kodiaq RS uses another rare performance tyre size, 235/45 R20. This raises a larger question: are premium CBU models being sold in India without adequate long-term tyre and consumable support? Insurance has approved an alternative tyre size in my case, but that does not solve the core issue. Owners should not be forced into non-OEM tyre sizes because the manufacturer has not ensured the availability of the factory-specified tyre. I had publicly raised this with Volkswagen India, but received no response. I request Autocar India to kindly look into this and raise the issue with Volkswagen India / Skoda Auto Volkswagen India, so that either OEM tyre availability is ensured or formal written guidance is provided for safe alternative tyre sizes.

My family did not like Tesla as the interiors are very minimal. My question is whether spending an additional 25 lakhs for the BMW iX1 makes sense, or if it's not a great car. Can you please clarify?

However, for my next upgrade, I'd like to explore one of the entry-level SUVs. I typically buy a new car, keep it for 7-8 years, and then upgrade. Given the current transition in the automotive industry, is this the right time to buy a new car, or would it be wiser to wait until the powertrain landscape becomes clearer and the supporting infrastructure matures? I'd like to make an informed decision between ICE, Hybrid, and EV options before committing to a vehicle that I'll likely own for the next 7-8 years.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/punch/500_4138.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-is-the-best-low-maintenance-car-under-rs-8-lakh-for-elderly-parents-with-very-low-usage-451817Autocar Indiaen2026-07-07T14:11:00+05:30I want to buy a new car for my parents.

I have been looking for a second car for our family. We currently own a Tata Tiago EV Long Range, which is used for all our city driving and weekend trips to our hometown, around 80 km one way. However, we now feel the need for a dedicated highway car because we miss taking longer family road trips. Our budget is under Rs. 15 lakh. My primary choice was the Honda Elevate VX Manual. I deliberately avoided the CVT because we already have an automatic EV for city use, and I don't think a petrol automatic can match the smoothness and instant response of an EV. However, I've started reconsidering my decision because I feel the Elevate isn't the ideal highway cruiser. While it is spacious and comfortable, it doesn't feel particularly relaxed at highway speeds, and its highway fuel efficiency isn't very impressive. The next option I shortlisted is the Hyundai i20 N Line N6 Manual. I generally prefer spacious hatchbacks over sub-4 metre SUVs, and I never really liked that segment. Choosing the N Line would also save me around Rs. 5 lakh compared to the Elevate, while offering better cruising ability and fuel efficiency, considering this car will be used almost exclusively for highways and long road trips. My main question is whether the i20 N Line would be comfortable enough for a family of four with some luggage. All of us are lean, under 170 cm tall, and below 60 years of age. Everyone in the family likes the idea of the N Line. We have also ruled out diesel cars because my family doesn't like them, and I didn't push that option either due to DPF concerns and the fact that the car won't be used regularly. Please advise whether the i20 N Line N6 Manual would be a good choice for us.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/i20/_AAB7346.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/honda-activa-vs-tvs-jupiter-vs-suzuki-access-vs-electric-scooter-which-is-the-best-choice-for-daily-commuting-and-low-running-costs-451402Autocar Indiaen2026-07-06T10:05:56+05:30I currently own a 2007 Hero Honda Glamour and want to buy a new two-wheeler.

Please suggest the best option considering running costs, reliability, fuel efficiency, low maintenance and long-term ownership.https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260420_101622_06764f2b.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/hero-xpulse-210-vs-tvs-apache-rtx-300-which-adventure-bike-is-better-for-long-term-ownership-and-touring-451406Autocar Indiaen2026-07-06T09:30:00+05:30I am planning to buy an adventure motorcycle that offers excellent long-term reliability, durability and good fuel efficiency. Most of my riding will be on roads, with occasional off-roading, and I also want it to be comfortable for long-distance touring. My maximum budget is Rs. 2.5 lakh, although I'd prefer to stay close to Rs. 2 lakh. I have been considering the Hero Xpulse 210 and the TVS Apache RTX 300, but I'm confused. I'm also concerned about the changing fuel policies. Current bikes are only E20 compatible, and I intend to keep the motorcycle for at least eight years. Should I buy now or wait for a flex-fuel motorcycle, even though there aren't any adventure bikes in that category yet?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/TVS/apache-rtx-300/_PA19072.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-is-the-best-150cc-motorcycle-for-senior-riders-looking-for-comfort-reliability-and-low-maintenance-451427Autocar Indiaen2026-07-06T09:05:53+05:30Sir, I currently own a 9-year-old Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350, which is still in good condition. I am now 64 years old and would like to replace it with a 150cc motorcycle. My priorities are a comfortable ride, good pillion comfort, complete peace of mind, inexpensive spare parts and an upright riding position similar to the Thunderbird.https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260605_082403_bc126e8a.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/bajaj-chetak-3502-vs-ather-rizta-which-electric-scooter-is-better-for-reliability-service-and-long-term-ownership-451449Autocar Indiaen2026-07-06T08:31:32+05:30Hi there. I am planning to buy an electric scooter for my daily commute of around 30 km. I have test-ridden the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak 3502 and Ather Rizta. I found the Chetak to be quieter and smoother, while the Rizta makes a sound similar to an e-rickshaw. I also wasn't impressed with the braking performance of the TVS iQube, so I've ruled it out. Which scooter would be the better choice in terms of after-sales service, reliability and cost per kilometre?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Ather/Rizta/500_0330.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/kia-seltos-htk-petrol-automatic-vs-hte-o-diesel-automatic-which-variant-is-the-better-buy-under-rs-17-lakh-451586Autocar Indiaen2026-07-06T08:00:56+05:30I am confused between the Kia Seltos HTK Petrol Automatic and the HTE (O) Diesel Automatic, as both are similarly priced. My annual running will be around 10,000 km, with most of my driving in the city and occasional expressway trips. Which variant should I choose? My budget is around Rs. 17 lakh. I would also appreciate suggestions for any better alternatives from other brands.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0280.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/3-reasons-to-buy-the-flying-flea-c6-and-2-reasons-to-skip-it-440754Autocar Indiaen2026-07-06T07:00:49+05:303 reasons to buy the Flying Flea C6 and 2 reasons to skip ithttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260705_173426_a235efd2.jpg
