My usage is quite low, at a maximum of around 500 km per month. I am currently confused between the Tata Punch and Tata Altroz. I am also unsure whether to choose petrol or CNG, especially with the ongoing discussions around ethanol blending and the possibility of E25 and E30 petrol in the future. Given my low usage, which car and fuel option would you recommend for long-term ownership? Also, should I go ahead with the purchase now or wait for further developments regarding ethanol-blended petrol? Please consider comfort, practicality for a family of five, reliability, running costs, maintenance, and long-term ownership while suggesting the best option.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/Altroz/_AAB1308.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-suv-for-4000-5000-km-annual-running-and-highway-trips-502581Autocar Indiaen2026-09-16T22:00:05+05:30I am planning to buy an SUV, and my annual running is quite low, around 4,000-5,000 km.

I grew up watching people drive manual cars, and my love for cars and driving has only grown over the years. However, people keep telling me that driving a manual car in heavy city traffic can be difficult and tiring. I genuinely enjoy driving and feel that a manual car gives me a more engaging driving experience. So, what should I do? Should I accept the realities of heavy city traffic and buy an automatic, or should I follow my heart, buy a manual sedan and accept the inconvenience of driving a manual in heavy traffic? I am currently considering the Skoda Slavia 1.0 MT. Does it make sense to choose the manual given my love for driving, or would an automatic be more practical for city use?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/Slavia/GT_07146.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-slavia-1-5-tsi-dsg-or-virtus-1-5-tsi-dsg-for-highway-use-502590Autocar Indiaen2026-09-16T21:04:02+05:30Hi, I’m confused between the Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI DSG and Volkswagen Virtus 1.5 TSI DSG. My usage is mainly highway driving, including around 350 km non-stop from Chennai to Salem, with very little city driving. The car will primarily be used by my family, and I want an automatic only. For this kind of long-distance highway usage, which one would you suggest between the Slavia and Virtus? My main priorities are highway stability, comfortable long-distance driving, engine and gearbox reliability, ride comfort and overall suitability for my usage. Please advise which one would be better suited to my requirements.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/Galleries/20211118031828_Skoda_Slavia_action_2.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/terrible-roads-to-terrific-places-the-road-to-kibber-in-the-new-renault-duster-441073Autocar Indiaen2026-09-16T20:36:49+05:30Terrible Roads to Terrific Places: The Road to Kibber in the new Renault Dusterhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260916_130834_5a326eee.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-is-better-creta-1-5-petrol-at-or-grand-vitara-zeta-at-502592Autocar Indiaen2026-09-16T20:30:03+05:30Looking to buy a new car and am currently confused between the Hyundai Creta 1.5 Petrol Automatic and the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Zeta AT Mild-Hybrid.

Currently, I drive a 2020 Ford Endeavour diesel AT 4x4 and a 2017 Mahindra Thar CRDe 4x4 for rough and countryside roads. I enjoy driving both cars on these kinds of roads, although I experience quite a bit of body roll and physical strain. For city driving and highways, I use a 2017 Skoda Rapid diesel MT and an Innova Crysta diesel. I particularly enjoy driving the Skoda, while I prefer travelling as a passenger in the Crysta because of its comfort. As you can see, I have been a diesel car owner so far, but with diesel cars becoming less common in the market, should I consider switching to a petrol engine or a hybrid? My usage covers almost every type of Indian road, including metro cities, countryside roads, highways and hilly terrain, so I am finding it difficult to decide which car would suit my requirements best within a budget of Rs 40 lakh, with an automatic transmission. My top priorities are safety, with zero compromise, followed by driving comfort and the highest possible mileage.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/innova-hycross/500_6252.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/motor-sports-news/2026-motogp-marc-marquez-wins-san-marino-gp-and-leads-the-championship-440757Autocar Indiaen2026-09-15T18:04:50+05:302026 MotoGP: Marc Marquez wins San Marino GP and leads the championshiphttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260915_123149_e814822f.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-to-buy-under-rs-8-lakh-for-daily-city-driving-and-occasional-highway-trips-502540Autocar Indiaen2026-09-15T18:00:03+05:30My budget is Rs 8 lakh.

I am currently considering the Honda Amaze VX CVT with a government-approved sequential CNG kit retrofit and the factory-fitted Tata Punch Accomplished Plus S CNG AMT. I am also open to other recommendations within this price range. My on-road budget is a maximum of Rs 12 lakh, and my monthly running is around 900-1,200 km, with 80% city driving in heavy traffic and 20% weekend highway trips. I am based in Delhi-NCR and want a reliable CNG setup paired with an automatic transmission. My main concern is dealing with heavy traffic, bad road patches, potholes and severe waterlogging during the Delhi monsoon. I am specifically considering the top-spec Punch because I intend to keep the car for at least 10 years. I want a well-equipped, future-proof car so that I do not regret missing out on features later. If CNG retrofitment is possible on the top-spec Honda Amaze, I would consider that version as well. My key priorities are a stress-free automatic driving experience, sufficient ground clearance to tackle potholes and waterlogged roads, and low long-term maintenance costs. Given these requirements, which car would offer the most durable, hassle-free and enjoyable ownership experience?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/punch/500_4148.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-choose-the-mahindra-xuv-7xo-diesel-or-tata-harrier-ev-for-long-term-ownership-502426Autocar Indiaen2026-09-15T11:30:21+05:30Hi Team, I am confused between the Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel AX7T and Tata Harrier EV Fearless Plus.
