I recently moved back to India and am planning to buy an EV as my primary and only car. My budget is around ₹25 lakh, and I am looking for a proper 5-seater that will mainly be used for city driving of around 15-20 km daily, along with occasional road trips.

For the past six years, I have been driving Tesla models - first the Model 3 and later the Model Y - so I would ideally like to continue using an EV in India as well. However, I am still unsure about the practicality of the charging infrastructure here.

I will be staying in a rented apartment near Outer Ring Road, Bellandur, Bengaluru. I have been informed that the residential community, which has around 2,000 apartments, currently has about 6-8 charging points, and the connected mall also has a few additional chargers.

Could you please advise:

Whether owning an EV as the only car in Bengaluru currently makes practical sense
How reliable is the charging infrastructure in Bengaluru and across India for road trips
Which EVs around ₹25 lakh would best suit my requirements in terms of comfort, technology, driving experience, reliability, range, and overall ownership experience

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Creta-Electric/500_5082.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-automatic-first-car-under-8-lakh-with-strong-safety-features-448376</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-26T13:30:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am planning to buy my first car with a budget of around ₹7-8 lakh. My usage will mainly be city driving with approximately 20 km daily running, along with occasional highway trips. Since most of the driving will be in traffic, I am specifically looking for an AMT/automatic transmission.

I have shortlisted the following options:

Tata Punch Petrol AMT
Tata Tiago AMT
Maruti Baleno Petrol AMT

My top priority is safety, followed by good features and overall practicality. I am not interested in a sunroof. Your suggestion will be highly appreciated.

My yearly running is quite low, around 7,000 km, which is why I am specifically interested in the Volkswagen Virtus 1.0 TSI Topline variant.

There is no urgent need to replace my current car, although my wife is strongly encouraging an upgrade now.

My main confusion is whether I should take advantage of the attractive discounts and exchange offers currently available on the existing Virtus, or wait for the upcoming facelift, especially since reports suggest that the updated 1.0 TSI version may get a new 8-speed automatic gearbox.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/volkswagen/Virtus/500_8569.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-7-seater-suv-for-rural-medical-camps-and-family-travel-448486</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-26T11:30:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Hi,

I am a doctor and regularly organise medical camps for underprivileged patients in remote villages where healthcare facilities are limited or unavailable. For this purpose, I am looking to buy a practical and reliable 7-seater SUV that can comfortably carry staff and volunteers, while also offering enough boot space for medicines, medical equipment, foldable tables, and chairs.

Since many of these villages have uneven roads and poor infrastructure, the vehicle should have:

Good ground clearance and strong suspension
Comfortable seating for long journeys
Large and practical boot space
Decent fuel efficiency
Low maintenance and reliable after-sales support
Good safety features for highway and rural travel

My budget is between ₹15 lakh and ₹20 lakh, though I can stretch it up to ₹25 lakh through EMI if the vehicle genuinely justifies the extra cost.

Could you please suggest the best 7-seater SUV options suitable for my requirements?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/scorpio-n/500_9284.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/igl-increases-cng-prices-by-rs-2-per-kg-439816</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-26T11:22:08+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>IGL increases CNG prices by Rs 2 per kg</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260526_054838_6a1b061a.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-motorcycle-to-upgrade-to-from-dominar-400-under-5-lakh-budget-447865</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-26T10:35:29+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Hey everyone!

I wanted to buy a new adventure motorcycle. I had booked the Honda NX500 in February 2026, anticipating that its price would come down based on the expected pricing of the BMW F450 GS. However, since Honda is now bringing the CBU instead of a CKD, its price has increased. I do not see much value in paying nearly the same amount in taxes (around 40% import duty and 40% GST) as the actual price of the bike. Besides that, a few twin-cylinder adventure bikes are expected to launch later this year. However, proper ownership reviews for those bikes will likely take at least six months after their on-road availability. So, for now, I am considering buying the KTM Adventure 390, which has now reduced its engine capacity to 350cc to reduce the tax burden to 18%. Once the newer twin-cylinder bikes arrive and their reviews become available, I can make a more informed decision about whether to switch. Do you think this is the right decision, should I consider something else, or should I still go ahead with the Honda NX500?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/RoyalEnfield/Himalayan/500_2700.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/safe-and-comfortable-family-car-under-12-lakh-for-low-city-use-447900</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-24T08:30:02+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I’m planning to buy my first car with a budget of around Rs. 10-12 lakh.

Should I go for a 5-seater SUV or a 7-seater car?

My preference is for a petrol automatic car with good safety and fuel efficiency. The car will mainly be used for city driving with 2-3 people, along with occasional full-load highway trips.

I have shortlisted 5-seater options including:

* Tata Sierra Pure Petrol - feels underpowered
* Kia Seltos - concerned about its length for city driving
* Renault Duster - good car, but concerned about rear-seat space
* Skoda Kushaq - like it a lot, but rear-seat space is a concern

7-seater options that I have shortlisted:

* Tata Safari - like it for safety and mileage, but it is out of budget
* Mahindra XUV 7X0 - low fuel efficiency and slightly out of budget
* Kia Clavis - concerned about safety
* Maruti XL6 - good mileage but safety is a concern

My budget is Rs. 15-17 lakh for a 5-seater and can stretch up to Rs. 20 lakh for a 7-seater.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/carens-clavis/_AAB0258.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/car-reviews/maserati-granturismo-trofeo-review-italian-six-appeal-440425</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-24T08:00:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Maserati GranTurismo Trofeo review: Italian six appeal</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260522_123014_85a4040c.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/autocar-track-day-indias-best-riding-bikes-2026-440565</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-05-24T07:00:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Autocar Track Day: India&apos;s Best Riding Bikes 2026</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260522_061604_5457b156.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url></urlset>
