I'm confused between buying a sedan or compact SUV like Kia Seltos etc. as I have sold my Tata Punch last month that I owned almost for 4.5 years but now I want to purchase good and elegant looking car that can last for 7 to 9 year without any hassle. Me and my wife have shortlisted cars like New Honda City SV variant, New Skoda Slavia Base one, or Upcoming Virtus in sedan segment. In suv segment, I have shortlisted cars like Seltos, Grand Vitara, etc. My wife wants to shortlist sedan. Please suggest me which one should I go for as it's the matter of investing my hard earned money. Also, which car will have good resale value in future.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Honda/City/AAB02942.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-choose-the-skoda-kylaq-classic-plus-at-or-mahindra-xuv-3xo-mx2-pro-at-501804Autocar Indiaen2026-09-01T10:01:36+05:30I am new to driving and am looking for a sub-4-metre petrol SUV with a torque converter automatic gearbox. My budget is under Rs 10 lakh ex-showroom. I have shortlisted two options: Skoda Kylaq Classic+ automatic at Rs 9.25 lakh and Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro automatic at Rs 9.99 lakh. We are a family of five. My current usage is mostly in the city, but in the future it could become a 50:50 mix of city and highway driving. The Kylaq does not get an infotainment system, although the dealer is offering one for around Rs 30,000. Its rear seat is also narrower than the XUV 3XO's. The XUV 3XO does not get cruise control, LED lights or driver-seat adjustment. Both cars offer similar fuel efficiency. Which one would be the better choice for me?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-3xo/500_8404.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-choose-the-kia-seltos-gtx-ivt-or-thar-roxx-star-edition-petrol-501803Autocar Indiaen2026-09-01T09:30:17+05:30I have booked the Kia Seltos GTX IVT petrol with the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine, but I am now beginning to feel that it may not be worth the amount I am spending. I am therefore also considering the Thar Roxx Star Edition petrol. My daily running is around 30-40 km, with an 800-900 km highway trip roughly once every four months. Which one should I choose?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/Kia_Seltos_Cornering.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-choose-the-hyundai-venue-hx10-or-creta-s-o-for-rs-15-16-lakh-501799Autocar Indiaen2026-09-01T09:00:06+05:30Thank you for considering my query. I am a Central Government employee and am eligible to register a car under the BH series, which reduces my initial ownership costs. My budget is around Rs 15-16 lakh. Within this budget, I am considering the Hyundai Venue HX10 and the Hyundai Creta S(O). The Venue is the top-end, feature-rich option, while the Creta is a larger and more comfortable car but offers fewer features in the variant that fits my budget. I am confused between choosing a fully loaded smaller SUV and a lower variant of a larger SUV. Which one would you recommend?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/creta/500_3784.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-compact-car-under-rs-8-lakh-is-suitable-for-city-driving-and-long-term-ownership-501733Autocar Indiaen2026-09-01T08:30:05+05:30I currently use a second-hand, 13.5-year-old Hyundai Verna 1.6 diesel for my daily office commute of around 30-35 km. My annual running is less than 9,000km, but as the car is getting old, I will need to replace it soon. I am looking for a reliable, economical and fun-to-drive car for my daily mix of city and highway driving. A few months ago, I drove a third-generation Swift manual and really liked its nimble handling, slick controls and free-revving engine. However, I am a little concerned about the new Swift's 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine, although I have not driven it yet. How do the Fronx and Baleno compare with the Swift? I prefer the Fronx over the Baleno purely because of its looks. I am not planning to buy immediately and can wait for a few months if there are suitable new launches coming. Rear-seat space and long-distance comfort are not priorities, as I already have a Tata Curvv diesel for family use and highway trips. I would prefer a compact car for city driving. I enjoy driving a manual, as my commute does not involve much bumper-to-bumper traffic, although I would still prefer a light clutch and slick gear shifts. As I am early in my career, I plan to keep this car for a long time, so I would also like it to be suitable for future ethanol blends beyond E20. Would it also make sense to consider the Tiago EV or Punch EV? My concerns are their higher upfront cost, which may be difficult to justify given my low annual running, and long-term reliability. I also already own a Tata car. My initial budget was Rs 8 lakh, but stretching the budget for an EV would also bring the Skoda Kylaq into consideration, although I understand it is not particularly fuel efficient. What would you recommend below Rs 8 lakh for my requirements?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Swift/_AAB1788.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-automatic-car-with-a-360-degree-camera-should-i-buy-for-heavy-city-traffic-under-rs-14-lakh-501750Autocar Indiaen2026-09-01T08:00:55+05:30I’m planning to buy my first car. My daily driving will mostly be within the city and will not exceed 20-22 km a day, with a lot of bumper-to-bumper traffic. I am looking for a car that is fun to drive, reliable and easy to handle, especially in city conditions. My must-haves are an automatic transmission and a 360-degree camera. I was initially considering the Tata Punch, but after reading several reviews about its after-sales service, I am not comfortable taking on that kind of ownership stress. Could you suggest some good options within a budget of Rs 11-14 lakh?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Fronx/_AAB6306.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/all-you-need-to-know-about-lexus-es-440993Autocar Indiaen2026-09-01T08:00:00+05:30All you need to know about Lexus EShttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260831_090209_4e1d6641.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/honda-uc3-patented-in-india-440615Autocar Indiaen2026-09-01T07:00:00+05:30Honda UC3 patented in Indiahttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260831_112334_922b696c.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-keep-or-sell-hycross-before-facelift-501811Autocar Indiaen2026-08-31T22:00:03+05:30I purchased a Hycross ZX(O) in December 2025 and have driven only around 1,500 km so far.

My budget is around Rs. 13-15 lakh ex-showroom, and I’m planning to register the car under the BH series. Safety is my top priority, so I strongly prefer a car with a 5-star safety rating, preferably from Global NCAP. An automatic transmission is a must. The car will mainly be used for weekend family trips and highway drives rather than daily commuting. Since it will be a family car, I’d prefer something that looks classy and elegant while offering good comfort. A premium-looking interior would be a plus, and features such as leather/leatherette upholstery and ventilated seats would be nice to have, but they aren't deal-breakers. At the same time, I don’t want a car that is purely comfort-oriented. I enjoy driving, so I’d like something with a good engine, enjoyable handling, and a fun-to-drive character. Good rear-seat comfort and reasonable luggage space for family trips would also be appreciated.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/brezza-vxi-cng-vs-nexon-pure-plus-cng-501746Autocar Indiaen2026-08-31T19:30:01+05:30I’m a little confused about whether I should buy the Brezza VXi CNG or the Tata Nexon Pure Plus CNG.

When shifting between 1st and 2nd, both while upshifting and downshifting, the gear lever feels momentarily stuck or hitched before moving into place. I can also feel a slight downward movement or pull from the base of the gear shifter inside the cabin when shifting from 1st to 2nd. All higher gears, from 3rd to 6th, shift smoothly without any resistance. During the first service, the service centre adjusted the shift cables under the bonnet, but the problem has persisted. I am now taking the car in for its 20,000km service. What could be causing this issue, and what should I specifically ask the service advisor to inspect?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-3xo/500_8294.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-mahindra-xuv-3xo-ax5l-or-honda-elevate-v-cvt-for-long-term-ownership-501673Autocar Indiaen2026-08-31T10:30:03+05:30I am looking to buy my first car and am confused between the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5L and Honda Elevate V CVT. I would appreciate some advice. I am 6 ft 2 in tall, while my wife is 5 ft 3 in. Neither of us has much driving experience apart from driving school and occasional driving, so a 360-degree camera would be very useful. My budget is Rs 14.5 lakh on-road under the BH series, which is already stretched by around Rs 2 lakh. I am looking for an automatic with good safety, a reliable engine and reasonable service costs. I do not want a sunroof, as the additional headroom would be more useful. My annual running will be around 3,000-5,000 km, with 60% city and 40% highway use. I plan to keep the car for around 15 years. My main considerations are: Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5L * I need to keep the seat almost at its lowest setting, although it slides back sufficiently. * The 360-degree camera is a major advantage. * My main concern is long-term reliability. How well will the turbo-petrol engine and torque converter automatic combination age over 15 years? Honda Elevate V CVT * I also need to keep the seat almost at its lowest setting, but it does not slide back as much as the 3XO's. * The 360-degree camera will be dealer-installed. * The naturally aspirated engine and CVT combination give me more confidence regarding long-term reliability. As I have limited driving experience, it is difficult for me to judge from a short test drive whether either seating position could cause fatigue during occasional 300-400 km journeys. For my usage, which would you choose: the XUV 3XO AX5L or the Elevate V CVT?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Honda/Elevate/GT_01240.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-automatic-car-under-rs-15-lakh-is-safe-comfortable-and-fun-to-drive-for-family-highway-trips-501703Autocar Indiaen2026-08-31T10:05:02+05:30I’m planning to buy my first car and have a budget of around Rs 13-15 lakh ex-showroom.

I rarely make out-of-city trips of 60-100 km, and never beyond that. I need a car that is very spacious, has a comfortable cabin, offers good AC performance, and can handle potholes well. I am open to a bigger car, but my concern is that a smaller car is easier to drive in the city. I don't care much about boot space. Since my usage is low, I don't think fuel economy matters significantly. Can someone suggest whether I should go for the Brezza or XUV 3XO? Or are there any other alternatives in this price range?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/model/uploads/modelimages/Mahindra-XUV-3XO-290420241902.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-creta-s-o-diesel-summer-edition-for-long-drives-501603Autocar Indiaen2026-08-30T20:00:01+05:30I want to buy the Creta S Summer Edition Diesel Manual.

Hyundai is charging Rs. 75,000 for the charger. I already have the Tata charger installed at home, but the kWh capacity of the two chargers is different. Should I use the existing Tata charger for my Creta EV, even if it charges a little slower? Charging speed is not a major concern for me. Or should I buy the new Hyundai charger? Also, what should I do with the charger from my old EV?

His usage will be around 70% in the city, with a monthly running of less than 500km. I was considering the 2026 Brezza Turbo, but I came across mixed driving reviews on YouTube. Some say the engine is well-tuned for city driving and does not stall at low rpm, while others feel that the turbo performs better on highways as it needs more than 1,500-2,000rpm to deliver its best. Should I go for a turbo-petrol or naturally aspirated engine?
