I would appreciate your suggestions on which one would be the better choice based on driving quality, AC performance, ride comfort, reliability and maintenance costs, and overall city-driving experience. Around 90% of my usage will be in city traffic, so city drivability, comfort and ease of driving are particularly important to me. I would also appreciate any suggestions based on real-world ownership experiences with either of these cars. Thank you!https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kushaq/Skoda-Kushaq-front-quarter.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-innova-hycross-is-better-petrol-or-hybrid-502770Autocar Indiaen2026-09-20T16:01:36+05:30I am planning to buy the Toyota Innova Hycross GX (Optional) petrol and would like to know its real-world mileage in the city and on the highway. My daily city running is around 15-20km, and I drive approximately 10,000-15,000km a year. I am still confused about whether I should choose the petrol or hybrid version, so I would appreciate some guidance on which would be more suitable for my usage.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/advice/should-i-buy-kia-syros-ev-buyback-not-finalised-502771Autocar Indiaen2026-09-20T15:00:05+05:30The Kia Syros EV checks all the boxes for me as my first EV: good fit and finish, ample space, easy drivability and, importantly, the promised buyback. However, the dealer has now told me that Kia has not yet finalised the buyback programme, despite it being announced with so much fanfare. Should I be concerned about buying an EV without the promised buyback, and should I consider alternatives?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/syros-ev/Kia_Syros_EV_Front_Quarter_Tracking_1.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/the-real-lawrence-of-arabias-last-ride-retraced-in-a-mini-countryman-jcw-441087Autocar Indiaen2026-09-20T14:01:09+05:30The real Lawrence of Arabia's last ride retraced in a Mini Countryman JCWhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260918_150124_79e48b50.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-is-better-mg-hector-tomahawk-ev-vs-mahindra-xev-9s-real-world-range-502774Autocar Indiaen2026-09-20T14:01:09+05:30The MG Hector Tomahawk EV has a 69.2kWh battery, which is 10.2kWh larger than the 59kWh unit in the Mahindra XEV 9S, yet both have almost identical claimed ranges of around 517km and 521km, respectively. What is the main reason for this difference: lower vehicle efficiency, aerodynamics, powertrain efficiency or battery characteristics? Based on your testing, would you expect the Tomahawk’s real-world range to be higher or lower than that of the XEV 9S 59kWh?https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/car-images/mg/hector-tomahawk-ev/mg-hector-tomahawk-ev-front-right-three-quarter-3.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-should-i-buy-for-my-parents-xuv-7xo-or-seltos-502777Autocar Indiaen2026-09-20T13:00:21+05:30I’m planning to buy a car for my parents and am currently stuck between the Mahindra XUV 7XO and Kia Seltos. We also have a Golden Retriever, so space and practicality are important factors for us. My parents and I test-drove both cars separately. The Seltos was good and my parents liked it, but none of us were particularly excited by it. In contrast, we really liked the XUV 7XO, especially its premium and luxurious feel, spacious cabin and overall road presence. It also seems like a much better fit for our dog. I had almost finalised the XUV 7XO, but then I started reading owner reviews and noticed what appears to be a significantly higher number of complaints and reported issues compared with the Seltos. That has made me quite hesitant. Both cars felt great during the test drives, but I’m less concerned about how they feel on day one and more interested in what ownership will be like two to five years down the line. Another concern I have with both cars is their motorised, flush-fitting door handles. I understand that they look great and are part of the modern design, but I genuinely wonder how reliable these mechanisms will be over five to 10 years. A traditional mechanical door handle is a simple mechanism that I rarely worry about failing. With a motorised or flush-fitting handle, I can’t help but wonder what happens if the motor, sensor, electronics or mechanism develops a fault after several years. My priorities are reliability and a low chance of problems, minimal trips to the service centre, a good after-sales experience, comfort for my parents, enough space for our Golden Retriever, and, most importantly, a car they can keep for several years without constantly worrying about something going wrong.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/OP704174.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-reviews/royal-enfield-wanderer-waterproof-boots-review-440568Autocar Indiaen2026-09-20T13:00:02+05:30Royal Enfield Wanderer Waterproof Boots reviewhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260919_180530_9f8fc774.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/what-to-expect-from-2026-mahindra-thar-3-door-facelift-441080Autocar Indiaen2026-09-20T12:02:07+05:30What to expect from 2026 Mahindra Thar 3 door facelifthttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260918_095500_ab0d354b.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-is-the-best-sub-4-metre-diesel-automatic-suv-india-502778Autocar Indiaen2026-09-20T12:00:44+05:30I am 67 years old and plan to drive extensively across India.

I live in a hilly area and want my next car to be spacious enough for taking my three kids to school and for family functions. I have been waiting for the Skoda Superb for almost a year. Now that it is finally coming to India, I have heard that it may not be offered with a petrol engine, which is what I was hoping for. I am a fan of diesel cars, but I have had a bad experience with DPF issues in my Velar, so I am now hesitant to go down that route again. As an alternative, I am considering an electric car and have been looking at the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and BYD Sealion 7. I would like to know your expert opinion on these two EVs, particularly when it comes to after-sales service and ownership experience. Which one would you recommend for my requirements, or should I wait and go for the Skoda Superb anyway? I currently use a Brezza diesel for my daily commute and also have a Zen for fun drives. Kindly help me make the right choice. Thank you for your expert advice.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/ioniq-5/New_Hyundai_Ioniq_5-front%20view.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-is-better-verna-turbo-manual-hx8-or-thar-roxx-mx5-502787Autocar Indiaen2026-09-20T08:00:04+05:30How does the Hyundai Verna Turbo Manual HX8 compare with the Mahindra Thar Roxx MX5 2WD Petrol Manual?

Please be practical and challenge my assumptions. My situation: I am 31 and work as a software developer. I currently work from home in Balsane, Dhule, but I am moving to Mumbai around March. My wife and I are expecting a baby in February. My parents live in a village where local transport is poor. My Mumbai office is near Powai, but parking is difficult. I prefer a manual car. Usage: My current running is around 10,000 km per year, but it may increase. I travel between Mumbai and Balsane, which is around 400 km one way, around 5-7 times a year, along with Dhule/Sakri and local trips. I also drive around Mumbai on weekends. The AC is usually on, and on long trips, the car will have my wife, baby, and luggage. Budget: Rs. 6-9 lakh on-road. I am willing to spend more only if it is genuinely worth it. Shortlist: - Tiago XE Petrol - Punch Pure+/Smart Petrol - Punch Pure+/Smart CNG - Brezza LXi turbo-petrol Please tell me: 1. Which one should I buy and why? 2. Petrol vs CNG for my usage? The CNG premium is around Rs. 1 lakh, and the nearby village pump may open around Diwali, but this is not guaranteed. 3. What real-world mileage can I expect with the AC on? 4. Please consider loan interest, fuel costs, maintenance, depreciation, and resale value. 5. Is the Brezza worth the extra money? 6.

I’m 193 cm tall and weigh 103 kg. I’ll mainly be riding 50-60 km per day in city traffic and on broken Kerala roads, usually at speeds below 90 km/h. I do very little touring, no off-roading, and occasionally carry a pillion. I love the agility and cornering ability of my SF150 and want a genuine upgrade without high ownership stress. Which one would you choose specifically for my usage? Please don’t give a generic “all three are good depending on preference” answer. Compare their real-world comfort, handling, suspension, maintenance, and compromises for my use case.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/triumph/scrambler-400-x/_AAB4974.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-should-i-buy-for-85-km-daily-running-502727Autocar Indiaen2026-09-18T16:30:01+05:30I currently drive a 2022 Tata Nexon petrol manual and am based in Delhi NCR. My daily running is around 85 km, and I spend about an hour each day in bumper-to-bumper traffic. This makes driving difficult and tiring, so I am considering exchanging my car for an automatic. My budget, after factoring in the Nexon’s resale value, is around Rs. 12-14 lakh. I need an automatic that is reliable, fuel-efficient, and maintenance-friendly. I am currently considering the Punch EV, Nexon DCA, Brezza AT, and Elevate V CVT, as discounts make the Elevate fit within my budget. I mainly use the car for my office commute of around 85 km daily, with occasional weekend trips of 500-600 km. I have a family of four, and this will be my only car. My office has free EV charging infrastructure, which makes me consider the Punch EV. However, I am concerned about its range on longer weekend trips, so I am also looking at petrol alternatives.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/Galleries/20241125092757_HondaElevateFront34.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-switch-from-honda-city-v-cvt-to-ev-diesel-or-strong-hybrid-for-200km-daily-commute-502716Autocar Indiaen2026-09-18T16:05:32+05:30Currently, I own a Honda City V CVT.

However, I feel the engine requires early gear changes, and the mileage is currently low because I mostly drive in the city. I am disappointed by the mixed reviews on YouTube. Some people praise the car, while others criticize it. I want to know if the Brezza Turbo is reliable enough to last 10-12 years? Is its 3-cylinder turbo engine really bad? Did Maruti Suzuki experiment with customers by launching this turbo engine? Did I make a mistake by choosing the Brezza VXI Turbo over the Hyundai i20 Sportz 2022? What is the expected mileage? Is the 1.5L engine a better choice for long-term ownership? Is Maruti Suzuki treating its customers unfairly by offering this turbo engine? Please give me an honest opinion.
