Currently, I drive a 2020 Ford Endeavour diesel AT 4x4 and a 2017 Mahindra Thar CRDe 4x4 for rough and countryside roads. I enjoy driving both cars on these kinds of roads, although I experience quite a bit of body roll and physical strain. For city driving and highways, I use a 2017 Skoda Rapid diesel MT and an Innova Crysta diesel. I particularly enjoy driving the Skoda, while I prefer travelling as a passenger in the Crysta because of its comfort. As you can see, I have been a diesel car owner so far, but with diesel cars becoming less common in the market, should I consider switching to a petrol engine or a hybrid? My usage covers almost every type of Indian road, including metro cities, countryside roads, highways and hilly terrain, so I am finding it difficult to decide which car would suit my requirements best within a budget of Rs 40 lakh, with an automatic transmission. My top priorities are safety, with zero compromise, followed by driving comfort and the highest possible mileage.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/innova-hycross/500_6252.JPG?w=1200&amp;h=675&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=entropy&amp;q=75&amp;fm=auto</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/motor-sports-news/2026-motogp-marc-marquez-wins-san-marino-gp-and-leads-the-championship-440757</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-09-15T18:04:50+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>2026 MotoGP: Marc Márquez wins San Marino GP and leads the championship</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260915_123149_e814822f.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-to-buy-under-rs-8-lakh-for-daily-city-driving-and-occasional-highway-trips-502540</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-09-15T18:00:03+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>My budget is Rs 8 lakh.

I am currently considering the Honda Amaze VX CVT with a government-approved sequential CNG kit retrofit and the factory-fitted Tata Punch Accomplished Plus S CNG AMT. I am also open to other recommendations within this price range. My on-road budget is a maximum of Rs 12 lakh, and my monthly running is around 900-1,200 km, with 80% city driving in heavy traffic and 20% weekend highway trips. I am based in Delhi-NCR and want a reliable CNG setup paired with an automatic transmission. My main concern is dealing with heavy traffic, bad road patches, potholes and severe waterlogging during the Delhi monsoon. I am specifically considering the top-spec Punch because I intend to keep the car for at least 10 years. I want a well-equipped, future-proof car so that I do not regret missing out on features later. If CNG retrofitment is possible on the top-spec Honda Amaze, I would consider that version as well. My key priorities are a stress-free automatic driving experience, sufficient ground clearance to tackle potholes and waterlogged roads, and low long-term maintenance costs.

My concern is that diesel vehicles may be phased out sooner, which could affect diesel engines in general. Since there is no proper hybrid vehicle in this segment and reliability concerns around EVs in India are causing some uncertainty, I am a bit unsure. Any advice would be appreciated.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/OP704174.JPG?w=1200&amp;h=675&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=entropy&amp;q=75&amp;fm=auto</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/bmw-m-1000-rr-m-1000-r-and-m-1000-xr-nurburgring-editions-revealed-440742</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-09-15T11:26:08+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>BMW M 1000 RR, M 1000 R and M 1000 XR Nurburgring Editions Revealed</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260915_054948_bfc315b3.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-manual-car-under-rs-15-lakh-should-i-buy-for-a-powerful-driving-experience-502483</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-09-15T11:00:01+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am planning to buy a car in the Rs 15 lakh price range.

I take a maximum of 2-3 highway trips in a month around Bangalore. I have shortlisted Kylaq AT which I found peppy enough and has less turbo lag as well as XUV 3XO at that has noticable turbo lag. I am leaning more towards Kylaq but I am a little concerned about its AC performance, higher maintenance that may occur after warranty, EPC error and vehicle going into limp mode and being stalled in the middle of the highway.
