https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/bike-under-3-lakh-for-city-commuting-and-long-distance-touring-453995Autocar Indiaen2026-07-25T20:00:00+05:30I'm planning to buy a bike with a budget of around Rs. 3 lakh. My primary use will be daily city commuting to the office, but I also want to do occasional long-distance touring. I haven't done any long bike trips before, but it's something I want to start. So far, I've taken test rides of the Triumph Speed 400, Triumph Scrambler 400X, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Honda CB350RS, TVS RTX 300, and KTM 390 Adventure. I'm confused about which one to choose. My priorities in a bike include comfort during daily city commuting, ability to handle bumpy roads well. The bike should be capable of light off-roading and it should also be comfortable for long rides. One thing that I have noticed with some bikes is that after riding for a while, my palms started hurting. I'm not sure if it's because of my riding posture or the ergonomics, but I'd prefer a bike that doesn't cause that kind of discomfort. I'm 5'8" (173 cm) tall. Based on my requirements and the bikes I've already test-ridden, which one would you recommend? Are there any other bikes in this budget that I should also consider?https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260604_114337_835458a0.avifhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/car-for-senior-citizens-for-500km-monthly-usage-454436Autocar Indiaen2026-07-25T19:00:00+05:30Which car should I buy for a maximum monthly usage of 500 km?

However, we occasionally travel in groups consisting of 4 adults, 3 older kids, and luggage, which is why I am considering the 7-seater option. Currently, I drive a 2019 Hyundai Santro Sportz, and my annual running is unlikely to exceed 10,000 km. We have test-driven the Tata Sierra, Kia Carens Clavis, and Kia Seltos, but the Alcazar felt better in terms of overall seating comfort, especially with older kids seated in the third row. Given my usage pattern and requirements, do you think the Alcazar Prestige 7-Seater Petrol Manual is a good choice? I am also open to considering other options in a similar price range if there are better alternatives.

I have been using a 2022 Nissan Magnite CVT for the last 4 years, mostly for highway driving. I have noticed a significant drop in mileage after the introduction of E20 fuel, and I am doubtful about my vehicle's E20 compatibility. I checked with the dealer, but they simply said it is compatible with E20. However, the mileage drop I am experiencing, especially on highways, is quite significant.

I previously drove a 10-year-old Honda Jazz petrol and wanted to switch to an EV, but I live in a gated society where the committee doesn't permit residents to install a personal charger - I'd have to rely entirely on the common charger they provide. That dependency made me uncomfortable running an EV as my only car, so I bought a pre-owned 2024 Kia Carens diesel instead. I now plan to run two cars: the EV for my daily 90 km commute, and the Carens diesel for long drives and highway trips. My budget for the EV is under Rs. 15 lakhs, and I'd be charging only on the shared society charger.

My top priority is Kylaq Prestige+ AT due to the way it drives as per my experience during the test drive. It handles so well and just blazes past other cars for quick overtakes. However I am worried about its fuel efficiency. Is it gonna be too low? My second option was Venue HX5 Diesel Automatic but from what I am seeing so far with the DPF issues, I am worried that this car would be a bigger risk in the long term. That's because our long highway drives would only be once or twice a month at max, and sometimes not even that. Also, I am not seeing a lot of good reviews about this variant's mileage even though its a diesel engine. I am not planning for Mahindra or Tata since my previous experience with these brands has been sub-par. Usage-wise, we drive around 700 to 750 km monthly with a mixed use of 40% highways and 60% city roads where the traffic can get intense during peak hours in the evening.

My first choice is the Skoda Kylaq Prestige+ AT because I really enjoyed the way it drove during the test drive. The handling is excellent, and it feels very quick during overtakes. However, I'm concerned about its fuel efficiency. Will it be too low in real-world use? My second choice is the Hyundai Venue HX5 diesel automatic, but I'm worried about potential DPF issues over the long term. We usually do only one or two highway trips a month, and sometimes none at all. I've also come across mixed reviews about the fuel efficiency of this diesel variant. I'm not considering Mahindra or Tata because of my previous ownership experience with those brands. Our monthly running is around 700-750 km, with a 40:60 highway-to-city split, and city traffic can get quite heavy during peak hours.

Am I allowed to drive it in Delhi when GRAP restrictions are not in force?https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-a-petrol-or-diesel-7-seater-for-low-annual-running-and-long-periods-of-storage-454198Autocar Indiaen2026-07-23T08:00:28+05:30I'm planning to buy a new 7-seater manual with a budget of around Rs 18 lakh. My current preference order is: Tata Safari Petrol, Mahindra XUV 7XO, Mahindra Scorpio N, and Kia Carens Clavis. My annual running will be around 12,000km, mostly on highways, but the car may remain parked for 3-6 months at a time. I plan to keep it for at least 7-8 years. My biggest dilemma is petrol vs diesel. Petrol is my first preference because of my relatively low running and the long periods when the car will be parked, but I'm concerned about E20 ethanol-blended fuel. On the other hand, these are large and heavy vehicles, so fuel efficiency is also important. I'm considering diesel for its better mileage, but I'm worried about the long-term reliability of the DPF and DEF systems if the car remains unused for several months.
