I currently drive an EcoSport diesel and am planning to buy a 7-seater. I’m confused between the XUV 7XO Diesel Automatic AX5 and the Toyota Hycross GX, as both fit into my budget at the moment.

I am extremely happy with it. I want to change now, primarily because I want to upgrade to newer features. I have almost finalised the new Duster 1.3-litre, but the lack of a diesel option is the only factor stopping me. I am from Vizag and have a 50:50 city-to-highway usage pattern.

My main confusion is between the upcoming Renault Duster, specifically the strong-hybrid variant, and the Kia Seltos. We are leaning towards the new Duster because of its rugged design, impressive 212 mm ground clearance, interior colour theme, and expected hybrid fuel efficiency. However, the Kia Seltos remains a compelling choice due to its generous rear-seat space and feature-packed cabin. Given that we are a family of three, our priorities are design, ride quality on bad roads, and fuel economy, while also considering rear-seat passenger comfort. Is it worth waiting six months for the Duster Strong Hybrid instead of buying the Seltos now? How does the Duster's rear-seat legroom and overall highway comfort compare with the Seltos? Looking forward to your advice!https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/Kia_Seltos_Front_Quarter_Tracking_1.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/e3-electric-opens-its-first-store-in-bengaluru-440507Autocar Indiaen2026-08-17T15:45:13+05:30E3 Electric opens its first store in Bengaluruhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260817_101123_060ff0d6.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/bike-to-upgrade-from-125cc-for-city-traffic-and-weekend-trips-under-5-lakh-500780Autocar Indiaen2026-08-17T15:35:02+05:30Hello, I have been riding a 125cc bike for quite a long time now, and I’m looking to upgrade to a better-looking bike with good performance. I’m quite emotionally attached to my vehicles and take very good care of them, so I’m looking for something that I can enjoy and keep for a long time. Most of my riding is within Pune city traffic, but I would also like to start exploring longer rides and weekend trips, which I haven’t really done so far. I’m not very familiar with all the good options currently available in the market. I have looked at the Harley-Davidson X440 and a couple of options from Triumph, but I’m still not sure what would suit me best. One more thing I’m confused about is whether I should go for a petrol bike or consider an EV two-wheeler. With the increasing concerns around E20 fuel and its long-term impact on some higher-capacity bikes, I’m wondering if an EV would make more sense for my usage, especially considering that most of my riding is in city traffic. I would really appreciate your guidance in selecting the right bike based on my riding requirements, preferences and long-term ownership perspective.https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20250926_125040_baa3276f.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/mercedes-gls-450d-vs-petrol-which-should-you-buy-500948Autocar Indiaen2026-08-17T15:05:01+05:30I currently own a 2016 Mercedes E250 CDI Edition E. The car is soon to complete 10 years, and we are looking for an upgrade. We are interested in buying the GLS. The car will run in a city and on a highway mix. We are not interested in the petrol engine, considering the low mileage. So the 450D becomes the natural option for us. But does it make sense to spend 1.6 crore on a diesel engine car in 2026, considering future conditions and also the possibility of a significant decrease in resale value if govt brings out some stringent policies on diesel cars?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mercedes/gls/_DSF0461.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/xuv-7xo-vs-scorpio-n-petrol-automatic-for-family-of-seven-500981Autocar Indiaen2026-08-17T14:35:02+05:30I am confused between two cars: Mahindra XUV7XO AX7 Petrol Automatic and Mahindra Scorpio N Z8S Petrol Automatic. I am from Bangalore, and I would use the car on weekends and drive up to 20 km; hence, a monthly usage of 100 km and occasional long trips in a year. So I might have a yearly usage of 3000 km. We are a family of 5, but occasionally we would include our extended family of 7, which is why I wish to buy a 7-seater. I am confused between these two cars. I love the Scorpio for its look and legacy, while I also like the XUV 7XO for its tech features.

However, I've been reading reports that an Elevate facelift may be launched soon. My top priorities are: ADAS (Honda Sensing), LaneWatch camera Nice-to-have features: 360-degree camera, ventilated seats Given the current discounts, would it be better to buy the Elevate now or wait for the facelift? If the facelift does add features such as a 360° camera, ventilated seats, or expanded ADAS availability across more variants, do you expect Honda to increase prices significantly? Honda has already expanded ADAS availability in some City variants. Is it likely that Honda could make ADAS available in more Elevate variants as part of the facelift? I usually keep my cars for 8-10 years, so I'm trying to understand whether the current discounts on the existing model outweigh the potential benefits of waiting for the facelift.
