My daily running is around 40 km, with 40% city driving and 60% highway use. I am confused between petrol and diesel, and am looking for an SUV. I am considering the Victoris Petrol, Nexon CNG, and Nexon Diesel. You may also suggest any other car that would suit my needs.

So I don’t want just a typical city car. I’d like something that feels a bit fun to drive as well. Could you suggest some options? I see there are turbo-petrol choices available, but the Honda City’s 1.5 i-VTEC also seems like a strong and powerful naturally aspirated option. One thing I noticed during a test drive, though, was the tyre noise. Even at around 30kph, it felt noticeable and a bit annoying. Is that actually a concern in real-world city or moderate-speed driving, or am I overthinking the NVH levels? Some owners do mention that tyre and road noise in the Honda City can be more noticeable than expected, especially depending on the road surface and tyres.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/volkswagen/Virtus/500_8349.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-automatic-car-to-buy-under-18-lakh-with-360-camera-ventilated-seats-and-good-build-qualit-447853Autocar Indiaen2026-05-16T09:30:16+05:30My budget is Rs 18 lakh.

My driving is not much at the moment. I currently own a Nexon AMT that has done 20,000 km. I mostly do frequent short trips in the city and occasional long highway drives. I love the turbo in the Nexon, but not much else, as it started giving me trouble as soon as it entered its fifth year, so I am no longer sure about its reliability. I am now thinking mainly from a reliability perspective and am confused between the Seltos/Creta diesel automatic, Seltos/Creta iVT, and Elevate CVT. However, I would still like to retain Nexon’s grunt and avoid DCTs.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Honda/Elevate/GT_01624.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-blogs/why-carmakers-need-to-offer-mid-lifecycle-custom-upgrades-440543Autocar Indiaen2026-05-16T08:00:00+05:30Why carmakers need to offer mid-lifecycle custom upgradeshttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260515_120049_245e4668.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/suzuki-burgman-fuel-economy-tested-and-explained-440540Autocar Indiaen2026-05-16T07:00:00+05:30Suzuki Burgman fuel economy tested and explainedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260515_071748_cec3b195.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-images/volkswagen-id-polo-gti-image-gallery-440284Autocar Indiaen2026-05-15T19:25:00+05:30Volkswagen ID Polo GTI image galleryhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/image-galleries/images/20260515_132524_03b8b1cb.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/4-reasons-to-buy-the-mercedes-s-class-facelift-2-reasons-not-to-440546Autocar Indiaen2026-05-15T19:06:23+05:304 reasons to buy the Mercedes S-Class facelift, 2 reasons not tohttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260515_132752_3694e154.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/kia-seltos-vs-toyota-hyryder-at-for-long-term-city-use-and-good-after-sales-service-447756Autocar Indiaen2026-05-15T19:00:00+05:30Hello, I have a budget of around ₹18 lakh and am looking for a petrol car that will be used mostly for city driving (around 90%) and occasional highway trips (around 10%), usually once or twice a month. My approximate running is around 500 km per month. I am currently inclined towards the Kia Seltos HTX Automatic and the Toyota Hyryder NeoDrive V AT. I have two questions.

Secondly, which SUV is more reliable in terms of after-sales service and maintenance costs?

My usage is roughly 50% city and 50% highways, with occasional road trips carrying 5 people. I currently drive a 2019 Dzire manual, and I’m comfortable with manuals-I actually prefer downshifting for overtakes and like having some pickup on demand. During test drives, I noticed turbo lag in the Venue at low speeds, while the Seltos manual felt smooth and linear, but I couldn’t really test it properly at higher speeds due to traffic. I also took a test drive of the Seltos IVT, but I felt it might lack during highway overtaking, especially with full load, so I’m leaning more towards the manual with the 1.5 NA engine. My main questions are: Will the Seltos 1.5 NA manual feel underpowered on highways with 5 people + luggage during overtakes? Is the IVT actually capable enough for highway overtakes, or does it start feeling strained with full load? In the long run, which would be the better choice for my usage between these two?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0276.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/defender-leads-jlr-india-sales-in-fy26-439737Autocar Indiaen2026-05-15T12:28:02+05:30Defender continues to lead JLR India sales in FY26https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260515_064435_36767d7f.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/can-i-drive-bs4-innova-crysta-diesel-in-delhi-447788Autocar Indiaen2026-05-15T12:00:20+05:30I own a 2018 Innova Crysta, 3rd owner. with Odo at 1.16 lakh km. In reality, I am the second owner as the vehicle was in the name of the company before the MD decided to transfer it to his individual name. I have two questions- 1. It is a BS-IV model, and can I drive it in Delhi safely, without being penalised? 2. Looking at the policy fluidity concerning diesel vehicles, what would you recommend- A replacement car- I love Ecosport. and would prefer a driver's car.
