I am confused between the Mahindra Scorpio N Z8L 4WD and Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7 T AWD. The vehicle will be used 90% on highways, with the remaining 10% involving trips to hilly areas in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and similar regions. It will not be used in extreme off-road conditions.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/advice/maruti-victoris-strong-hybrid-vs-punch-ev-e-vitara-long-term-reliability-running-costs-501563Autocar Indiaen2026-08-28T10:00:04+05:30I’m a doctor, and my daily driving is currently around 65km, with an almost 50:50 mix of city and highway use. This could increase to 80–100km a day in the future. I have booked a Maruti Victoris ZXi Strong Hybrid for Rs 20.5 lakh on-road after offers, but I am still confused about whether to consider the Tata Punch EV, Maruti e Vitara or any other option. Long-term reliability and keeping running costs manageable are important, as the car will be owned for at least 10 years. I am also concerned about ethanol blending in petrol. My first choice was the Kia Seltos diesel automatic HTK. Considering the expected usage and long-term ownership, which option would make the most financial sense?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/victoris/Victoris_2%20copy.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/new-ev-suvs-under-rs-24-lakh-with-good-space-and-features-501441Autocar Indiaen2026-08-28T09:30:01+05:30Hi, I want to upgrade from my 9 year old Honda WR-V to an electric SUV. My driving is mostly in the city, with only occasional highway trips, and the total monthly running does not exceed 1,000km. I like the Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq, but it seems impractical from a utility perspective once the excitement of owning a new car wears off. I am therefore looking for an EV SUV in the Rs 20-22 lakh range with good second-row space, strong design appeal and plenty of features. I would prefer something new on the block, as models like the Creta have become extremely common and feel less fresh. I also like the Harrier EV, but the features I want are available only in variants priced above Rs 25 lakh. Please suggest something new and worthwhile. I can stretch the budget to Rs 24 lakh if most of these requirements are met.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/sierra-ev/Tata_Sierra_EV_Front_Quarter_Static.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/skoda-slavia-or-volkswagen-virtus-first-car-limited-driving-experience-501452Autocar Indiaen2026-08-28T09:00:08+05:30I’m a first-time car buyer with very limited driving experience. I’ve only driven an SUV like the Mahindra KUV100 a few times in the past and have never driven a sedan before. I don’t really need a car for my daily commute, but I’d like to have one for long drives, convenience and occasional trips. I’m strongly considering the new Skoda Slavia or Volkswagen Virtus 1.0L MT because I really like both cars. Given my limited driving experience and the fact that I’ve never driven a sedan before, does it make sense to choose one of these as my first car? Would the Slavia or Virtus be manageable for someone with my level of experience, particularly when it comes to judging the car’s size, parking, manoeuvring in traffic and driving on highways?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/Slavia/GT_07169.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/harrier-vs-safari-vs-xuv-7xo-petrol-vs-diesel-501547Autocar Indiaen2026-08-28T08:30:05+05:30I’m looking for a car in the Rs 22-24 lakh budget.

I was initially looking for a 5-seater and liked the Harrier Petrol Automatic, but I am now also considering a 7-seater. Should I choose between the Harrier, Safari and XUV 7XO, and would petrol or diesel be more suitable for my usage?

I do not want a sunroof, and the budget is under Rs 18 lakh. My daily running is around 10-12km, with occasional weekend drives and one or two annual trips of around 500-600km. I have shortlisted the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Zeta AT and Honda Elevate VX CVT, although the Elevate does come with a sunroof. Most of the driving will be in the city. Between the two, which would be more fuel-efficient, particularly with E20 petrol, offer good ride quality, and be reliable and easy to maintain over the next 10-15 years? Are there any other vehicles worth considering? I am not interested in EVs or petrol DCT/DSG powertrains.

My current Grand i10 has become quite uncomfortable during longer drives. I absolutely loved the seating position and overall comfort of XUV 700 and I can say it is probably the best car that I have driven. However, I’m unsure about managing something that big in size in Bangalore traffic. I have taken the test drive of the new Tekton, but still found the seating position a bit awkward. Should I simply go for the XUV 7XO, or are there other petrol options that offer similar seating comfort while being easier to manage in the city? I want the car mostly for weekend city drives, with an outstation trip once every 2 months.

I am a first-time car buyer and a new driver. I want to buy a sub-4-meter SUV. My daily usage will be between 25- 30 km. It is mostly for city driving in Delhi NCR. I intend to buy an automatic and like the Kylaq as an option. But my understanding is that it is expensive to maintain. Among other options that I am considering are the Venue and the 3XO. However, Venue has DCT, which I understand is not great for city driving. Could you give me some more guidance on maintenance of the Kylaq and, generally, if I have to choose among these 3, what should be the best option? To clarify, my budget is 12-15 lakhs. I have already looked at the Brezza as an option but did not like the feel of it. Sonet has been disregarded because there is a new Sonet coming next year.
