We are planning to upgrade our car to either Maruti Grand Vitara, Victoris, or Hyundai Creta. We are a middle-class family and want to keep our next car for at least 15 years. Since E85 fuel is expected to be introduced in the future, would it be more sensible to buy a CNG Maruti for peace of mind, or should we go for a petrol-only car? We want to make the right long-term decision, as we are concerned that if the government pushes E85 aggressively in the future, it may become difficult to sell our current car or buy another one. Please suggest. Our budget is ₹13-14 lakh.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/victoris/4.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/nexon-pure-plus-diesel-vs-seltos-hte-diesel-447319Autocar Indiaen2026-05-07T10:00:00+05:30Hi Autocar team, I did not receive a reply to my earlier question.

We want to upgrade to a bigger car. My family is considering the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Victoris petrol/CNG, or Hyundai Creta petrol. Our budget is 13-15 lakh. We want a reliable car for long-term ownership of around 15 years, as we are a middle-class family and cannot easily replace the car if we are not satisfied. We are also worried about the possibility of E85 petrol in the future. So we are confused whether to go for CNG. However, I have heard that CNG cars still need to start or run a few kilometres on petrol. If E85 comes, will that harm the car? Our usage is mostly in the city, with one highway trip per year.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/victoris/4.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-ev-under-25-lakh-harrier-ev-creta-ev-sierra-ev-comparison-447341Autocar Indiaen2026-05-06T17:25:00+05:30I am planning to buy an EV in the ₹20-25 lakh price range.

After test-driving the Toyota Hycross, Tata Safari, and Mahindra XUV 7XO, I have booked the XUV 7XO AX7L diesel automatic 2WD, which has a waiting period of around six months. However, I am not in a hurry. While the Safari offered a more spacious third row and better suspension, the XUV felt more powerful, and Mahindra has a better reputation for service compared to Tata. I dropped the Hycross because the VX(O) variant misses some features, has smaller tyres, and the interior does not feel like a significant upgrade over my Ecosport, despite the higher price. I initially chose diesel for better mileage, but I am now concerned about potential DPF-related issues, as nearly 80% of my driving will be in Bangalore city.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/DSC_9376.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/industry/porsche-india-appoints-ashutosh-dixit-as-brand-director-439647Autocar Indiaen2026-05-06T11:47:11+05:30Porsche India appoints Ashutosh Dixit as brand directorhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260506_061405_30be8bdc.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/toyota-hybrid-car-for-city-use-and-occasional-long-highway-trips-447132Autocar Indiaen2026-05-06T11:30:00+05:30I used to own a Mahindra Scorpio S11, but I rarely used it.

My primary use case for the second bike is that it should be city-friendly, lightweight, capable of handling a pillion for city commutes, and still be fun to ride with good handling in the twisties (for quick breakfast rides, though the Scrambler will handle most of those). I have shortlisted the Duke 160 and 200. The new 200 now has the same weight savings as the 160, and both bikes are only ₹18,000 apart. I have test ridden the 160 multiple times and found it to be smooth (unlike a typical KTM), with decent torque in the low to mid rev range and a step up in power post 6,000 RPM for some fun. I haven’t been able to test ride the new 200 yet. I have been told that it feels more crude in comparison, requires higher revs to perform well, heats up quickly, and has some vibrations.

My driving is around 75-80% in the city, and I also enjoy driving. I want a car that is engaging to drive while still being comfortable on city roads. Rear seat comfort is important, as passengers should feel stable and not experience excessive movement. I am also open to waiting for about a year until 2027 to see if the GLC gets a facelift. The X3 has been recently launched, and I prefer buying the latest model available.

I have shortlisted the Kia Carens Clavis 1.5 Turbo DCT and the XUV 7XO AX7 petrol AT for my daily chauffeur-driven 30 km commute in Mumbai traffic, along with 3-4 highway trips a year of around 400 km each. Rear seat comfort is very important, as the car will mostly be chauffeur-driven and occasionally used by my elderly mother for short city trips. Based on my requirements, you had recommended the Carens Clavis 1.5 Turbo DCT. However, I am concerned about the reliability and potential overheating issues of the DCT in Mumbai traffic.
