At the time, it was the perfect choice for my usage. However, my circumstances have changed significantly since then-I now have two large dogs (a Labrador and a German Shepherd), and the City is no longer practical for transporting both dogs comfortably, especially on longer highway trips. I am trying to decide between keeping the City and buying a second EV primarily for dog transport and city use, or replacing the City altogether with a single-car solution. The vehicles I am considering include the Kia Carens Clavis EV, Mahindra XEV 9S, Mahindra XEV 9e, BYD eMAX 7, and Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid. My priorities are: Comfortable transport for two large dogs Highway touring ability Ease of parking and city usability Long-term ownership (8–10 years) Good ride comfort Reasonable running costs Would you recommend: 1. Keeping the Honda City and adding a practical EV (such as the Clavis EV), or 2. Moving to a single-car garage and choosing something like the XEV 9S, eMAX 7, or Hycross? Also, is there a midsize SUV (EV, hybrid, petrol or diesel) that offers: A low boot loading lip, Rear seats that fold nearly flat, Enough cargo length and width for two large dogs to comfortably lie down on highway trips, While still being manageable in city traffic and parking? Which vehicle would you choose for this specific use case and why?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/innova-hycross/500_6252.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/7-seater-ev-for-300km-daily-highway-driving-448947Autocar Indiaen2026-06-03T20:30:00+05:30My daily travel is around 300 km, mostly on highways.

So far, I am not unhappy with it. The car does what I want it to do, and while it is not particularly exciting, I am satisfied with it. My question is: if the Elevate eventually gets a hybrid option, should I consider upgrading? I am concerned about fuel economy as fuel prices continue to rise. I currently get around 11-12 kpl overall. Assuming the hybrid is priced around Rs 5 lakh higher, my calculations suggest I would need to drive roughly 1.5-1.7 lakh kilometres to recover the additional cost. Financially, it does not seem to make sense. However, there is also the peace of mind of seeing fuel economy figures above 20 kpl, and the hybrid setup could offer slightly better performance and make the car more enjoyable. What do you think? If Honda eventually launches it, should I go for it?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Honda/Elevate/GT_01624.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/spacious-automatic-car-under-15-lakh-for-tall-driver-449046Autocar Indiaen2026-06-02T17:30:00+05:30I am planning to buy my first car with a budget of around Rs. 15 lakh.

My usage will include daily office commutes, weekend solo rides, and occasional 500-600 km touring trips with my wife and some luggage. I had brief test rides of both, and these were my impressions: Versys 1100: Extremely comfortable for both my wife and me. However, at 175 cm tall, I could not flat-foot it completely and found it intimidating in city traffic because of its size and weight. Ninja 1100SX: Not quite as comfortable as the Versys, but still comfortable. My wife found the pillion seat comfortable and did not slide into me under braking. I liked the handling very much and found it far easier to manage in city traffic. However, I suffer from occasional lower back pain, so I am concerned whether the slightly leaned-forward riding position might become an issue on longer rides. I want something powerful, smooth, easy to handle in city traffic and also good for a long tour on the highway. I do not plan to do off-road stuff. Also, the lower the weight to handle, the better it would be for me. I would often like to use this bike daily in the city, also being usable in Indian bumper-to-bumper traffic. Also, do note that in the past, I have tried one of my friend's 2025 Z900 and rode it for a full day and had back pain by the end of the day. So I don't want that thing to happen to me with the bike that I shall buy.

My priorities are strong performance, comfort on bad roads, reliability, and good after-sales service. I currently ride a Bajaj Avenger Street 160 and would like my next vehicle to feel like an upgrade or at least offer comparable performance. My budget is ₹1.5-1.8 lakh, although I can stretch it for the right product. I like the Ultraviolette Tesseract, but the repeated delays make me unsure about waiting for it. Pillion comfort, spacious seating, and a reasonable seat height are important as I often ride with family. My previous two-wheelers included Activa, Shine, Unicorn, and Avenger, and if I were buying an ICE vehicle today, I would choose the TVS Ronin.

We currently own a 2008 Hyundai Santro that has covered around 77,000 km so far. My parents are now planning to upgrade to a more spacious 7-seater. A few points about our usage: • We are a family of four, so the third row will remain folded most of the time and will primarily be used as additional luggage space. • Our annual running is quite low. • Around 70% of our driving is on highways. • We intend to keep the new vehicle for the next 10-12 years. The shortlisted models are: * Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7 Petrol Manual * Mahindra Scorpio N Z8 Select Petrol Manual * Hyundai Alcazar Prestige * Tata Safari Adventure X Plus Petrol Manual One concern that is making the decision difficult is the possibility of higher ethanol blending in petrol in the future. We are not considering a diesel vehicle because our low running could lead to DPF-related issues. Considering our usage pattern, long-term ownership plans, and concerns about future fuel standards, which option would you recommend and why? Thank you in advance for your guidance.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/OP704174.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/bmw-r1300-gs-adventure-vs-ducati-multistrada-v4-448713Autocar Indiaen2026-06-01T16:00:00+05:30Hi Autocar team, I’m 32 years old and currently ride a 2021 Triumph Street Triple R with around 23,000 km on the odometer. I’m now planning to move into the adventure touring category and add a BMW R1300 GS Adventure to the garage. I’ve already test ridden the bike and was really impressed with the boxer engine performance, comfort, and overall character. A few friends have also recommended that I try the Ducati Multistrada V4 because of the performance and handling it offers, and I’m planning to test ride it soon as well. My riding style is more spirited - I enjoy riding fast on highways and twisties - but I also want a bike that I can keep long-term for the next 15 years alongside my Street Triple R. Usage pattern: - Weekend rides mostly - Around 200-300 km rides regularly - One major touring ride every year (example: Mumbai to Spiti) My priorities are: - Long-term reliability - Manageable maintenance costs - Good parts availability in India - A bike that feels special even after many years of ownership Between the BMW R1300 GS Adventure and Ducati Multistrada V4, which would you recommend as the better forever bike for my use case? Would love your opinion.

I drive in the city weekly for 300 km on average. I already own a Ciaz, which I have used for 9 years and planning to sell it. My budget is within 25 lakhs on the road. I don't want to step into Maruti again because of the sheet metal quality. I also do trips twice yearly to someplace within 500 km. Could you help me pick the right one? My foremost concern is mileage, pickup, comfort, and safety. I would also use this car for another 10 years.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Honda/City/AAB02942.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/motor-sports-news/motogp-2026-bezzecchi-wins-at-mugello-to-extend-championship-lead-439847Autocar Indiaen2026-06-01T11:52:19+05:30MotoGP 2026: Bezzecchi wins at Mugello to extend championship leadhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260601_062042_4a1718c2.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-himalayan-450-or-ktm-390-448771Autocar Indiaen2026-06-01T11:30:00+05:30Which is better between the KTM 390 and the Himalayan 450?

It will be used for short daily commutes and occasional long rides. My budget is around Rs 3 lakh. I am confused between the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 and the Triumph Speed 400. Triumph's service network is quite limited, and the bike has also been detuned. On the other hand, the Guerrilla is more expensive and still lacks traction control. Kindly advise which one I should choose.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/RoyalEnfield/Guerrilla-450/OP7_8035.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/tata-tiago-ev-vs-tata-punch-ev-which-is-better-for-first-time-ev-buyers-with-daily-commute-and-occasional-long-trips-448745Autocar Indiaen2026-06-01T10:29:24+05:30I want to buy my first car.

I am looking for something a bit different with better road presence and a more premium comfort feel. Can you suggest some good used 6-7 seater options in the Rs 7-12 lakh range? Also, considering that my usage is mostly city driving with occasional highway trips and not very high running, should I go for a petrol or diesel car? Which option would make more sense in terms of maintenance, reliability, fuel efficiency, and long-term ownership?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/mmv_images/colors/20250724011100_Renault_Triber_Amber_Terracotta[1].jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/upcoming-car-launches-in-june-2026-439838Autocar Indiaen2026-06-01T09:00:00+05:30Upcoming car launches in June 2026https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260529_133140_cd4261e6.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/do-sedans-still-make-sense-in-india-and-should-i-buy-verna-or-virtus-or-opt-for-an-suv-448613Autocar Indiaen2026-06-01T08:30:00+05:30I am planning to buy a sedan, despite most people today preferring SUVs. I am considering the Hyundai Verna HX10 IVT and the Volkswagen Virtus 1.5 DSG. Since I would be spending around Rs 20 lakh on either of these cars, I wanted to know whether sedans still make sense given Indian road conditions. Are roads improving enough to justify buying a sedan again, or should one still stick to SUVs? I also noticed that a similarly equipped SUV as the Creta costs around Rs 3-4 lakh more. Is this premium justified, or is it better to save the money and buy a sedan instead?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Verna/2%20%283%29.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/how-good-is-the-hyundai-venue-hx10-for-city-driving-and-hilly-roads-compared-to-the-skoda-kushaq-448692Autocar Indiaen2026-06-01T08:00:00+05:30Hello Team Autocar! I am very impressed with the interiors of the 2026 Hyundai Venue, although I do not particularly like its exterior design. I am looking at the HX10 variant and, despite knowing that fuel efficiency is not great, I would like your opinion on its driving dynamics, steering feedback, and cornering ability. My commute will be split equally between very congested city traffic in Shillong and hilly roads between Shillong and Guwahati, with occasional drives on the plains of Assam. I currently drive a Skoda Kushaq Style 1.5 TSI MT and am considering the Venue as an addition to my garage. Thank you.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Venue/DSC_8177.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/indian-motorcycle-unveils-american-racing-operations-performance-division-439846Autocar Indiaen2026-06-01T07:00:00+05:30Indian Motorcycle unveils American Racing Operations performance divisionhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260531_102045_29702990.jpg
