I drive around 8,000 to 10,000 km a year, out of which 1,500 to 2,000 km are road trips. My budget is under Rs 25 lakh. I have shortlisted the Volkswagen Virtus, Honda Elevate, and the Renault Duster. I wanted to know whether I should buy a car now or wait for the E20 fuel-related issues to settle. Also considering the facelifts for the Elevate and Virtus are expected soon, so I am wondering if it would be better to wait for those. One more question is should I buy one of these brand-new cars, or would it be wiser to consider a pre-owned car from a higher segment within the same budget? Thank you!https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/volkswagen/Virtus/500_8350.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/hyundai-venue-vs-kia-seltos-vs-mahindra-xuv-7xo-which-suv-is-right-for-my-family-452699Autocar Indiaen2026-07-19T13:00:21+05:30I currently own a 2020 Maruti Wagon R 1.2 Manual and am planning to upgrade. I live in Mangalore, where bumper-to-bumper traffic is rare, so I would prefer a diesel automatic. I'm confused about whether to buy a 5-seater or a 7-seater. I feel a 5-seater like the Hyundai Venue Diesel AT might be enough, but I'm also considering the Kia Seltos. If neither seems like the right choice, the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX3 Diesel AT is my only 7-seater option. My family consists of my parents, my wife, and our two children (one is 4 years old). We manage comfortably in our Wagon R and go on long rides as well, so I'm unsure if a 7-seater is really necessary. I'm also open to considering an EV, but range is an issue during long rides. I'd appreciate suggestions on which option would be the best fit.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/OP704174.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/race-spec-yamaha-r3-giant-killer-440807Autocar Indiaen2026-07-19T13:00:08+05:30Pro-Stock Yamaha R3 Race bike: Giant Killerhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260716_105053_173a9962.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/3-reasons-to-buy-the-toyota-taisor-and-2-not-to-440815Autocar Indiaen2026-07-19T13:00:08+05:303 reasons to buy the Toyota Taisor and 2 not tohttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260717_102802_1da89b85.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/top-five-midsize-suvs-ranked-440818Autocar Indiaen2026-07-19T12:00:00+05:30Top five midsize SUVs rankedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260717_121838_211bfe05.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-hybrid-car-under-20-lakh-for-pune-city-driving-452786Autocar Indiaen2026-07-19T11:55:00+05:30We are a family of three looking for a budget-friendly car, preferably a hybrid, with good mileage.

Also, my father owns a manual Maruti Wagon R that was purchased about 1.5 years back. My daily commute is at least 50-70 km, with a mix of city and highway driving. Given the rising running costs and the increasing hassle of driving a manual in heavy traffic, should I continue with the XUV, or replace one of these two cars with an EV? The lower the budget, the better. However, my father needs a car with a high seating position and easy ingress and egress, while my priorities are safety, ride comfort, and suspension quality.

My must-have features are ADAS and an automatic transmission. My annual running is relatively low, so I'm confused about whether I should buy a petrol or a diesel car. My main concern is the future of petrol engines with increasing ethanol blending. Since India has already moved to E20 fuel, I'm worried that if E25 or E27 becomes common in the next few years, today's petrol cars may face compatibility or reliability issues. Because of this, I'm considering a diesel car instead. Considering my low annual usage, long-term ownership, maintenance costs, resale value, and the future fuel scenario, would you recommend a petrol or a diesel car? If petrol is still the better choice, are my concerns about higher ethanol blends justified, or are modern E20-compliant engines expected to handle future changes without any major issues?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/Kia_Seltos_Front_Quarter_Tracking_2.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-images/aston-martin-dreadnought-suv-image-gallery-440397Autocar Indiaen2026-07-18T16:00:16+05:30Aston Martin Dreadnought SUV image galleryhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/image-galleries/images/20260717_082719_2a3fd8df.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-venue-hx5-plus-or-fronx-or-amaze-cvt-under-rs-11-lakh-budget-453024Autocar Indiaen2026-07-18T16:00:00+05:30I drive a maximum of 500 km per month, mostly on weekends.

At the time of booking, the dealer promised delivery by 30 June, but due to delays, the delivery has now been pushed to the first week of August. Since July 2026, the price of my variant has increased by 30,000. At the time of booking, I received a 10,000 insurance discount and a 10,000 accessories discount. Since the car will now be delivered in August, can I expect any additional discounts or offers? Or should I wait until the festive season in October?
