I was initially interested in the Mahindra Scorpio N 4WD, but after a test drive, I realised that the third row is not very practical for my family, as my children are grown up and find it cramped.
So, I am now considering the Mahindra XUV7XO. However, I am confused between the petrol and diesel AWD variants. Some people say AWD is not very effective. My expectation is that AWD should at least help on snow/ice roads and for mild off-roading.
My daily driving is around 20 km in bumper-to-bumper city traffic, and my monthly running is about 900–1,000 km. If I decide not to go for AWD, should I choose the petrol or diesel variant instead?

I am planning to buy a new car with a budget of around ₹20 lakh. I will be retiring in about 2.5 years, and until then, my daily commute will be approximately 50 km, along with a 600 km highway trip once every three months.

Post-retirement, I plan to travel extensively with my family, at least once a month. We are a family of 4-5 members, and I am considering either an electric or a hybrid car.

We really like the Mahindra XEV 9S (Pack One and above, 59 kWh), which costs around ₹22 lakh. Could you please advise if this is the right choice for my usage, or should I consider other options within my budget?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xev-9s/_AAB8447_1.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/skoda-kylaq-vs-kushaq-vs-kia-seltos-best-handling-suv-under-budget-444555</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-04T17:10:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am planning to buy a car and am confused between the Skoda Kylaq Signature variant, Skoda Kushaq Classic Plus, and Kia Seltos HTE. My priority is a car with good handling, as I am coming from a Ford EcoSport and want a similar driving experience and comfort.

I am willing to compromise slightly on mileage. My usage will be mostly in the city, with occasional long drives, and these options are based on my budget.

Which of these would be the best choice for my requirements and why?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260321_061544_b1f72967.png</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/venue-vs-sonet-vs-brezza-which-best-petrol-automatic-under-15-lakh-444561</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-04T16:40:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I have a budget of around ₹15 lakh (on-road) and am looking for a petrol automatic car. My usage will be approximately 70% city driving and 30% highway, with an annual running of about 10,000 km. My key priorities are reliability, fuel efficiency, and overall value for money. I am currently considering the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and Maruti Suzuki Brezza.

Which one should I prefer among these three?

Additionally, the newly launched Kia Seltos and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara also seem appealing. Should I consider stretching my budget for these models?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Brezza/_DSC2085.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-altroz-amt-altroz-dca-or-kylaq-automatic-for-highway-driving-444069</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-04T16:00:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Hey Autocar, you had earlier replied to my query about the Altroz vs Punch for my 55km commute, which is 90% on highways, along with occasional 300-400km family trips. Now, my brother is suggesting that I buy an automatic car instead of a manual. In that case, should I consider the Altroz AMT or go for the Altroz DCA instead? Alternatively, at the same ex-showroom price as the Altroz DCA Creative S, would it be better to opt for the Kylaq Classic Plus torque converter? I assume it will have lower mileage than the Altroz due to the turbo engine. My main doubt is whether I should go for the more affordable and safer Altroz AMT or choose the Kylaq TC.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kylaq/Skoda%20Kylaq_5.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/auto-images/hyundai-boulder-concept-image-gallery-440210</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-04T15:00:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Hyundai Boulder concept image gallery </news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/image-galleries/images/20260402_112554_d8c633b3.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-petrol-luxury-car-to-buy-under-70-lakh-for-low-monthly-usage-when-upgrading-from-compass-444070</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-04T15:00:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Hi, I am a doctor by profession and, of course, a car enthusiast.

My monthly running is approximately 12,000-14,000 km, with around 70% city driving and 30% highway usage. I am confused between choosing a petrol vehicle and an EV. I am not considering a diesel option since my driving is not very regular at times, and I am concerned about potential DPF clogging issues. Currently, I am evaluating the Mahindra XUV 7XO A7 T petrol, which costs around ₹25 lakh on-road in Pune. However, considering the current global war situation, I feel petrol prices may increase permanently, which is making me seriously consider an EV. I am therefore looking at the Tata Harrier EV Fearless Plus 75 kWh, which is priced around ₹27 lakh. Though I have heard that some discounts are available, and the effective price could come down to around ₹26 lakhs. Given my usage pattern, budget, and long-term cost concerns, please guide me on whether a petrol or EV would be the better choice and help me decide between these options. Thanks in advance.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/OP704168.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/i-am-palnning-to-move-from-mumbai-to-bangalore-should-i-buy-thar-roxx-here-or-bangalore-444554</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-04-04T11:00:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am planning to move to Bangalore from Mumbai after 8 months.
