Now I’m getting married and looking for a bigger car. I have a budget of Rs 13-15 lakh. My usage is quite low, around 1,000km a month. I drive occasionally, and my travel is usually in the hills. I want low maintenance, good mileage, low service cost and a practical SUV-type car. I have checked out the Kia Sonet, XUV 3XO, Venue and Kylaq. Please suggest. I am planning this for September so that I can get delivery by October. I have checked other brands as well, and I'm very much confused.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-3xo/500_8421.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/is-creta-king-ivt-worth-buying-over-creta-so-ivt-for-360-camera-and-adas-447594Autocar Indiaen2026-05-11T08:30:00+05:30I want to buy Creta S(O) IVT Summer Edition, but I am missing the 360-degree camera in it.

I am planning to buy a new car within a budget of ₹15-20 lakh. At the moment, my top choice is the Mahindra XUV 7XO Petrol Automatic. Currently, only my sister and father are at home, and neither of them knows how to drive yet. However, they keep saying that once the car comes home, they will learn driving. Considering this situation, would the XUV 7XO Petrol Automatic still be the right choice, or should I look at something easier to drive and manage for first-time drivers? Please give your expert advice.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/OP704168.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-images/porsche-963-apple-computer-inspired-livery-image-gallery-440273Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T16:00:00+05:30Porsche 963 Apple Computer-inspired livery image galleryhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/image-galleries/images/20260508_144013_1491870e.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/innova-hycross-vs-invicto-best-8-seater-hybrid-family-car-comparison-447554Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T15:45:00+05:30I am looking to buy an 8-seater car for my family and am confused between the Toyota Innova Hycross GX(O) and the Maruti Invicto Zeta Plus. My annual driving is quite low, around 8,000-10,000 km. My thought process is that since the price difference between the two is only around ₹3.5 lakh, spending the extra amount for the strong hybrid system could make sense because of the better fuel efficiency and overall refinement. Could you please guide me on which option would be the better choice for my usage and long-term ownership?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/Galleries/20230705011903_SAT1.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-used-automatic-suv-for-rough-roads-under-12-lakh-budget-447530Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T15:45:00+05:30I have been driving a 2016 Skoda Octavia 1.8L DSG Petrol and have been extremely happy with its performance, ride quality, and overall driving confidence. However, I have recently started making regular trips to my land, which involves driving through a few kilometres of extremely rough roads. The conditions are so poor that my car often shifts down to first gear, and I am now concerned that these frequent trips may eventually take a toll on the gearbox and engine. Because of this, I am considering switching to another automatic vehicle with better ground clearance that can handle rough patches more comfortably without putting excessive strain on the engine or transmission. After considerable thought, I have shortlisted the older Hyundai Creta Petrol Automatic with the torque converter gearbox. Here are my constraints and preferences: I do not want to buy a new vehicle, as I feel I have already spent heavily on road tax without getting roads of matching quality. Since DCT gearboxes are not ideal for stop-and-go traffic, I do not want another DCT vehicle. I do not prefer CVTs or AMTs either. I do not want to spend more than ₹12 lakh on a used vehicle. My questions are: Is a used Hyundai Creta Petrol Automatic with the torque converter gearbox and around 30,000 km on the odometer a good choice? Since it would likely be a BS4 vehicle, would buying it still make sense considering the upcoming emission norms and regulations? Would you suggest any other suitable alternatives within my budget and requirements?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Brezza/_DSC1777.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/motor-sports-news/fabiano-sterlacchini-the-man-engineering-aprilias-motogp-resurgence-439692Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T15:00:00+05:30Fabiano Sterlacchini: The man engineering Aprilia's MotoGP resurgencehttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260510_083243_7dee93f6.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/2020-kia-seltos-petrol-e20-fuel-compatibility-long-term-usage-concern-447480Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T14:50:00+05:30Repeating my question.

To give some background, I owned a used BMW 523i for four years and absolutely loved the experience. I eventually sold it because I moved back to Mumbai and only had access to open parking. By then, the car had also completed nearly 10 years in total. Over the last five and a half years, I have changed cars multiple times: Tata Nexon EV Prime (bought for ₹19 lakh, sold for ₹13 lakh) Upgraded to Nexon EV Max within 1.5 years (₹19.5 lakh, sold for ₹13.5 lakh) Upgraded again to MG ZS EV after 1.3 years (₹22 lakh, sold for ₹16 lakh) Finally bought a Skoda Kushaq top-end in September 2025 for ₹20.2 lakh through a good deal I do like the Kushaq, but now it feels slightly small after a new addition to the family (my baby), and my family also finds the rear seat less comfortable. At the same time, I still feel internally unsatisfied. It is not the badge value I miss, but rather the unmatched sense of satisfaction, thoughtful design, premium feel, and driving experience that I experienced with the BMW 523i and generally associate with luxury cars. I miss that feeling quite a lot. Luxury cars are beyond my ideal budget, but I could stretch financially with some sacrifices. I am seriously considering options like the BMW iX1 LWB, Mercedes-Benz CLA EV, or the Hyundai Ioniq 5 with the 84kWh battery. I feel I could manage the loan over seven years, and if I make this purchase, I would ideally want to keep the car for at least 10–15 years. At the same time, I worry about EV resale values in the long term, although luxury EVs seem to hold value slightly better than mainstream EVs. Given my situation, do you think moving into a premium EV makes practical and emotional sense, or should I hold on to the Kushaq for longer? I would really appreciate an honest perspective.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/BYD/Sealion-7/OP7_8782.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/volkswagen-readying-uprated-clubsport-version-of-id-polo-gti-439681Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T13:00:00+05:30Volkswagen readying uprated Clubsport version of ID Polo GTI https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260508_102900_d48dd5f2.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-suv-under-12-lakh-comfort-safety-bad-roads-highway-usage-447464Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T12:45:00+05:30Hi Autocar Team, Reposting this query as the earlier message may not have reached you. Have been following your blogs and YouTube videos for quite some time now, and really admire the depth of analysis and practical insights in your reviews. Currently driving a Honda Brio and absolutely love the car for city use. However, a few limitations have started becoming more noticeable over time. Frequent trips to Konkan mean dealing with rough roads, large potholes, and tall speed breakers, which often result in the underbody scraping. Rear seat comfort during hot weather is another concern, especially because of the absence of rear AC vents. Planning to upgrade to an SUV that would be better suited for both daily commuting and highway trips. Family consists of five adults, and at 6'2" with a larger build, spacious seating and overall comfort are quite important. Budget is around ₹12 lakh and can be stretched slightly for the right option. Key priorities are: Strong safety credentials, Comfortable driver seat with good ergonomics, Spacious and comfortable rear seat, Good ground clearance for bad roads and ghat sections, Adequate boot space for 3–4 days of luggage, Reasonable maintenance and running costs Usage pattern includes a daily 20 km commute in heavy city traffic, along with occasional weekend trips of around 300 km round-trip. Would really appreciate your recommendation on the most suitable SUV in this budget.https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260102_053408_6016af4d.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/best-petrol-automatic-hatchbacks-under-rs-12-lakh-in-india-440518Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T12:05:00+05:30Best petrol-automatic hatchbacks under Rs 12 lakh in India https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260509_101038_52807f16.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-fun-to-drive-car-verna-seltos-or-mahindra-be6-447449Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T12:00:00+05:30I am planning to buy a new car. I absolutely love my current car, but I no longer find the driver’s seat very comfortable, I feel the suspension could be better, and the 1.2-litre Hyundai engine lacks serious power. The cars I am currently considering are: Mahindra BE 6 Pack Three Hyundai Verna 1.5 Turbo HX(O) Kia Seltos 1.5 Turbo (variant yet to be finalised) My usage mainly involves driving to work in Bengaluru, along with at least one weekly night drive for pleasure. I also take occasional drives around Bengaluru every month and go on longer trips once every quarter. I genuinely enjoy driving and the freedom that owning a car gives me. I am not particularly fond of long motorcycle rides, although I do own an Harley-Davidson X440. The reasons behind my shortlist are: I do not want an ordinary car; I want something with a strong wow factor. I like all three cars from a design and styling perspective, which is important to me. All three felt comfortable, with my comfort ranking being: Seltos > Verna > BE 6. However, I found the high-speed stability of all three to be just average and expected better. I have admired the Mahindra BE 6 ever since it was announced, but I am unsure about EV practicality in my situation. I live in a rented apartment with only a 3kW sanctioned electricity load, and I am also uncertain about charging infrastructure. Additionally, Mahindra’s warranty recommendation of charging at least 25% through AC charging concerns me slightly. I would have also considered the Volkswagen Virtus, but I feel its interior quality does not justify the price. Could you please help me decide which option would make the most sense for my needs?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0280.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/lamborghini-unveils-its-most-powerful-open-top-fenomeno-roadster-439691Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T11:36:40+05:30Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster debuts as brand's most powerful drop-tophttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260510_060531_d4a10211.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/kia-seltos-vs-tata-sierra-turbo-petrol-at-real-world-mileage-compared-440519Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T11:30:00+05:30Kia Seltos vs Tata Sierra turbo-petrol AT real-world mileage comparedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260509_101731_befaf3d8.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-reviews/2025-mahindra-bolero-review-rough-and-ready-440412Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T11:27:08+05:302025 Mahindra Bolero review: Rough and readyhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260510_053102_9cb38046.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/cross-car-go-kart-for-the-dirt-440517Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T11:00:00+05:30Cross Car: Go kart for the dirthttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260509_092156_964192f0.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-you-buy-virtus-or-kushaq-447458Autocar Indiaen2026-05-10T11:00:00+05:30I’m confused between the Skoda Kushaq 1.5 DSG and the Volkswagen Virtus GT 1.5 DSG.

My main concern is: Will proper enthusiast sedans and 1.5 turbo petrol engines like the Virtus still exist 5–6 years later, or will the market fully shift towards SUVs, hybrids, and EVs?

I stay in Mumbai, and my driving will mostly include a daily 15-20 km office commute along with one weekly round trip to Pune. I was considering the XUV 3XO and Brezza. I was also thinking about the Kylaq because it is one of the most affordable options in the segment that offers good driving dynamics. However, I was put off by online reviews mentioning issues with the AC, smaller cabin space, and some EPC-related problems. The 3XO and Brezza seem more robust in comparison.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-3xo/500_8294.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/is-it-worth-installing-a-cng-kit-in-honda-city-4th-generation-for-better-mileage-447470Autocar Indiaen2026-05-09T09:30:00+05:30I own a Honda City 4th Generation and have been getting an average fuel efficiency of 16.1 km/l over 85,000 km.
