This vehicle serves strictly as our secondary car, and its duties are entirely urban: daily school runs, grocery trips, and the occasional trek across the city. It will not see any highway use. Given that city traffic is notorious for tanking the fuel efficiency of petrol cars, I am wondering if shifting to an EV makes sense. I have been looking closely at the Tata Punch EV as a potential replacement. Could you please advise on the following: 1. For an exclusively urban, low-to-medium mileage use-case, is an EV truly recommended over traditional ICE automatic models, and will it be economically viable in the long run? 2. How does the Punch EV fare as a pure city commuter in terms of real-world range, ease of driving in traffic, and long-term reliability? Are there specific variants you recommend? 3. Are there any other petrol, automatic or EV alternatives in this segment that I should consider before making my decision?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/Punch-EV/_AAB9834.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/industry/nissan-platform-based-cars-can-be-built-at-the-renault-chennai-plant-440189Autocar Indiaen2026-07-10T19:16:23+05:30Nissan platform-based cars can be built at the Renault Chennai plant https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260710_134309_ed7869df.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/hyundai-creta-vs-skoda-kushaq-which-should-i-buy-452293Autocar Indiaen2026-07-10T18:30:24+05:30I am planning to buy a car for mostly driving on highways, but I live in a Tier 3 city.

I have taken a test drive of both. The Exter felt easy to drive, had smooth gear shifts, was silent, and I loved its driveability. The Nexon's gear shift felt a bit notchy and not as easy for city driving, but I loved its suspension, comfort, and looks. I'm buying the car for high-kilometre usage. I have an Aura CNG, which I've driven for 2 lakh km and it is still in A1 condition. I'm expecting the Exter CNG to be the same. I don't have much experience with the Nexon. I have concerns about the Nexon's long-term reliability for 3 lakh km over the next 5 to 6 years, as well as the service experience since there is only one dealership and service centre in my city, Bareilly, which has a population of over 13 lakh. My priorities are comfort, easy maintenance, long-term reliability, and no unexpected maintenance.Can the new Nexon deliver all this?

I am thinking of cancelling this booking and then maybe looking at the car again around Diwali, when there might be discounts on it, or in the meantime, the elevate / tekton will also launch, so it might be worth looking at that also?

Most of my commute is along the Coastal Road from Bandra East to Fort in Mumbai. I am considering the Kia Seltos 2026 X-Line and the Tata Harrier EV, but I'm open to other suggestions if there's a better option in this price range.

Here are my requirements: I want an automatic transmission. It should have a strong road presence, look premium, and not feel like a budget vehicle. It should be highly reliable, durable, and capable of lasting for many years with minimal maintenance, as I don't enjoy spending a lot of time maintaining vehicles. There may be occasions when the car remains unused for one or even two weeks, so it should be able to handle infrequent use without issues. Although I don't frequently carry heavy loads, once or twice a year I may need to transport cement bags, rice bags, or other bulky items. Therefore, the vehicle should have a reasonably spacious boot or cargo area. I also occasionally travel to villages where the roads are unpaved, uneven, and in poor condition, although they are not true off-road trails. I don't think an AWD system is essential, but the vehicle should be comfortable and capable on such roads. For context, I currently own: A Maruti Suzuki Wagon R (purchased in 2006) A Mahindra XUV500 AWD (purchased in 2017) Both vehicles are still in good running condition. However, I am now looking to replace one of them or add another vehicle with an automatic transmission that is dependable, comfortable, and built to last. My budget is between Rs 35 lakh and Rs 40 lakh (on-road). One final point that may be relevant is that I am now over 50 years old, so I would prefer a vehicle that is comfortable to drive, easy to get in and out of, and well-suited to long-term ownership. Based on these requirements, which cars available in India would you recommend, and why? Please compare the shortlisted models in terms of reliability, maintenance costs, comfort, road presence, practicality, fuel efficiency, resale value, and suitability for my intended use.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/innova-hycross/500_7283.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/is-the-toyota-innova-hycross-hybrid-zx-o-the-best-second-car-under-rs-42-lakh-for-long-term-family-road-trips-452139Autocar Indiaen2026-07-09T09:00:00+05:30This will be my second car. I already own a Toyota Glanza MT for city driving, and this car will mainly be used for weekend highway trips and family travel (around 4000-6000 km/year). With a budget of Rs 40-42 lakh and a plan to keep it for 10-15 years, is the Innova HyCross Hybrid ZX(O) the best overall choice, or would you recommend any other petrol, hybrid or EV in this price range?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/innova-hycross/500_7180.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/is-the-kia-seltos-adas-worth-buying-for-mostly-city-driving-and-should-i-choose-the-htx-ivt-or-htx-a-ivt-452182Autocar Indiaen2026-07-09T08:35:00+05:30Hi, I have shortlisted the Kia Seltos. My usage is primarily in the city, with perhaps one highway trip a year. Does it make sense to spend extra on ADAS for Delhi roads, or will I end up switching it off as I do in my other car? I also like that the Seltos offers most variants without ADAS. My second point is more of an observation. Kia should have offered the GTX with the HTX's beige interior, or at least the GTX headlamps on the HTX. I feel I have to choose between a less appealing interior and an average-looking exterior. I prefer the cabin feel and the lower price, so I'm leaning towards the HTX IVT. Should I spend the extra money on the HTX A IVT, or will I end up keeping the ADAS switched off in the city?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0276.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/used-car-study-2026-mahindra-xuv700-holds-its-value-best-among-executive-suvs-440770Autocar Indiaen2026-07-09T08:01:08+05:30Used car study 2026: Mahindra XUV700 holds its value best among executive SUVshttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260708_133744_0bc80785.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/between-hycross-and-clavis-which-is-a-better-buy-452130Autocar Indiaen2026-07-09T08:00:46+05:30Hi, I want to choose between the Toyota HyCross and the Kia Clavis.
