It is a car I absolutely love, and despite test-driving many newer vehicles while looking for an upgrade, I am still struggling to find something that matches its combination of punchy performance, handling, steering feel, solidity, and overall driving quality. I am now looking to upgrade to an SUV with a budget of around ₹25 lakh. So far, I have test-driven the following: Renault Duster 1.3 Turbo Petrol Manual - contrary to the hype, I found it quite disappointing Tata Sierra 1.5 Petrol Automatic - comfortable, but it felt underpowered MG Hector, MG Astor, and Mahindra XUV700 - none of them really connected with me as a driver Volkswagen Taigun 1.5 TSI GT - this came closest in terms of driving feel, but the build quality and solidity still did not feel as robust as my older CBU Polo Volkswagen Tiguan - liked it, but it is unfortunately beyond my budget I am not inclined towards the Hyundai Creta or Kia Seltos because build quality and safety are very important to me. My driving usage is around 70% city and 30% occasional highway trips, although I would like to increase my long-distance driving in the future.

Our cars are almost entirely chauffeur-driven, though I do occasionally enjoy driving on long trips myself. I had booked the Toyota Innova Hycross VX 7-seater primarily for its excellent second-row comfort and practicality. However, with the recent rise in petrol prices and growing government discussions about E25/E30 fuel blending, I am now reconsidering whether to cancel the booking and instead opt for the Mahindra XEV 9e. I personally prefer practical, no-nonsense cars over feature-heavy luxury gimmicks. For example, I specifically chose the lower Hycross variant because I do not really care for features like ottoman seats, which actually compromise legroom for me, or panoramic sunroofs. Similarly, the triple-screen layout in the XEV 9e also feels unnecessary to me. What attracts me towards the XEV 9e is the possibility of being relatively future-proof against changing fuel policies and rising fuel costs. However, I also understand that the XEV’s fixed second-row setup may not be as spacious or comfortable as the Hycross for chauffeur-driven usage. My priority is a comfortable, premium-feeling, reliable, and sensible long-term ownership experience within a budget of around ₹30–35 lakh. Between the Toyota Innova Hycross VX and the Mahindra XEV 9e, which one would you recommend, considering comfort, practicality, future readiness, ownership experience, reliability, chauffeur-driven comfort, and long-term peace of mind?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/innova-hycross/500_6451.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/what-could-be-the-price-and-variants-of-the-next-generation-toyota-hilux-in-india-448324Autocar Indiaen2026-05-27T10:40:00+05:30Autocar India, what could be the expected price of the new 9th-generation Hilux in India for the STD and High AT variants?

My budget is around ₹25 lakh, and I am looking for a proper 5-seater that will mainly be used for city driving of around 15-20 km daily, along with occasional road trips. For the past six years, I have been driving Tesla models - first the Model 3 and later the Model Y - so I would ideally like to continue using an EV in India as well. However, I am still unsure about the practicality of the charging infrastructure here. I will be staying in a rented apartment near Outer Ring Road, Bellandur, Bengaluru. I have been informed that the residential community, which has around 2,000 apartments, currently has about 6-8 charging points, and the connected mall also has a few additional chargers. Could you please advise: Whether owning an EV as the only car in Bengaluru currently makes practical sense How reliable is the charging infrastructure in Bengaluru and across India for road trips Which EVs around ₹25 lakh would best suit my requirements in terms of comfort, technology, driving experience, reliability, range, and overall ownership experience Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Creta-Electric/500_5082.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-automatic-first-car-under-8-lakh-with-strong-safety-features-448376Autocar Indiaen2026-05-26T13:30:00+05:30I am planning to buy my first car with a budget of around ₹7-8 lakh.

My yearly running is quite low, around 7,000 km, which is why I am specifically interested in the Volkswagen Virtus 1.0 TSI Topline variant. There is no urgent need to replace my current car, although my wife is strongly encouraging an upgrade now. My main confusion is whether I should take advantage of the attractive discounts and exchange offers currently available on the existing Virtus, or wait for the upcoming facelift, especially since reports suggest that the updated 1.0 TSI version may get a new 8-speed automatic gearbox.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/volkswagen/Virtus/500_8569.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-7-seater-suv-for-rural-medical-camps-and-family-travel-448486Autocar Indiaen2026-05-26T11:30:00+05:30Hi, I am a doctor and regularly organise medical camps for underprivileged patients in remote villages where healthcare facilities are limited or unavailable. For this purpose, I am looking to buy a practical and reliable 7-seater SUV that can comfortably carry staff and volunteers, while also offering enough boot space for medicines, medical equipment, foldable tables, and chairs. Since many of these villages have uneven roads and poor infrastructure, the vehicle should have: Good ground clearance and strong suspension Comfortable seating for long journeys Large and practical boot space Decent fuel efficiency Low maintenance and reliable after-sales support Good safety features for highway and rural travel My budget is between ₹15 lakh and ₹20 lakh, though I can stretch it up to ₹25 lakh through EMI if the vehicle genuinely justifies the extra cost.
