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. Given these requirements, which car would offer the most durable, hassle-free and enjoyable ownership experience?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/punch/500_4148.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-choose-the-mahindra-xuv-7xo-diesel-or-tata-harrier-ev-for-long-term-ownership-502426Autocar Indiaen2026-09-15T11:30:21+05:30Hi Team, I am confused between the Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel AX7T and Tata Harrier EV Fearless Plus. 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.

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. Do these issues happen in Mahindra as well? Do you think one should choose 3XO over Kylaq.

The petrol is costing me around Rs 17.9 lakh, while the diesel is around Rs 19.7 lakh, before any discounts or negotiations. My monthly running is likely to be around 1,200-1,300km, with roughly 60 percent highway and 40 percent city driving. This includes a 700km highway run to Dwarka from Bathinda and back, which is a regular trip, around 300-350km of office commute, and another 100-150km for weekend outings. In the petrol, I'm mainly concerned about E20-related issues such as moisture, the possibility of higher ethanol blends in the future, lower mileage and the engine feeling slightly underpowered, particularly during occasional trips to the mountains. With the diesel, my main concern is the possibility of DPF and EGR-related issues. The car will be driven by both me and my wife. Which one would you suggest for this usage? I'm more inclined towards the diesel, but the concerns around DPF issues are making me reconsider.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/can-the-brezza-1-litre-turbo-last-for-10-years-502441Autocar Indiaen2026-09-13T21:30:02+05:30I’m planning to buy a Brezza and keep it for at least 10 years.

I am also considering a few potential downsides: the NVH levels of the Elevate, the long-term reliability of the Smart Hybrid battery in the Grand Vitara, although this is not a deal-breaker, and the possibility of EPC-related faults in the Taigun. I would appreciate some expert advice on which of these three would be the best overall choice for my requirements.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Honda/Elevate/Beauty_11_003%20copy.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-audi-bmw-mercedes-test-drive-car-to-buy-for-65-70-lakh-502105Autocar Indiaen2026-09-13T19:00:11+05:30I’m looking for an Audi, BMW or Mercedes-Benz test-drive car that has covered less than 5,000 km and is priced within a budget of Rs 65-70 lakh.

I am confident enough that these upsize will not hamper but I want to know that installing these tyres will it be good? As my i20 is lightweight compared to SUV and these tyres are mostly made for SUV and heavy vehicle so am I putting an extra load by adding these heavy tyres, will it damage my enitre dynamics drastically? I want a superior braking, and a good comfort road noise minimisation could be average but should not be too soft that it gets easily punctured or cracks in sidewall while hitting a potholes. heard many reviews of UC 6 getting punctures and cracks in sidewalls due to potholes. Turanza 6i is also an alternative but comes with the same problem too much soft compound and I drive like idgaf in potholes without any stress. Another good option is blue earth gt max shall I consider it but heard that wet grip is not that great and doesn't feel good in steering. As the geolandar xcv launched newly in India so I was kinda leaned towards its preference but as it is made for only Suv and crossover am kinda in doubt what should I do. Please suggest something worth invsting my money for.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/i20/_AAB7141.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-should-i-buy-under-15-lakh-for-cabin-comfort-and-potholes-502431Autocar Indiaen2026-09-13T17:00:02+05:30I have recently moved to a new city, and my office is 3km from my house. I need to travel to and from the office twice a day, including during my lunch break. On weekends, around twice a month, I travel 90km one way on the national highway to meet my husband, who drives a Jeep Compass manual diesel. I used to drive his car earlier, but now I am looking to buy a car within a budget of Rs 15 lakh. My top priority is cabin comfort, particularly a car that can handle potholes and rough roads without causing excessive jerks or discomfort inside the cabin.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/auto-images/2026-bmw-7-series-facelift-image-gallery-440461Autocar Indiaen2026-09-13T16:00:33+05:302026 BMW 7 Series facelift image galleryhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/image-galleries/images/20260912_185439_18aeda47.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-suv-is-better-skoda-kylaq-or-hyundai-venue-for-long-term-ownership-502432Autocar Indiaen2026-09-13T16:00:05+05:30I am planning to buy a sub-4m SUV and have shortlisted the Skoda Kylaq Signature Plus Automatic and Hyundai Venue HX5 Diesel Automatic. My annual running is expected to be around 16,000 to 18,000 km, including approximately 12,000 km of highway driving. From an economic point of view, I am slightly concerned about the Kylaq’s real-world petrol mileage, especially given the high amount of highway running. I am also concerned about the long-term implications of E20 petrol and whether it could lead to any issues in the future. On the other hand, I have concerns about buying a diesel due to the possibility of future government restrictions and the uncertainty around long-term diesel ownership. Considering these factors, I would appreciate your advice on which of the two would be the better choice for at least eight years of ownership.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Venue/DSC_8700.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-i20-n-line-n8-mt-or-dct-502423Autocar Indiaen2026-09-13T15:00:01+05:30I'm considering buying the Hyundai i20 N Line N8 MT.

I prefer a manual transmission and am looking for a car that offers a smooth and comfortable driving experience in both the city and on highways. I also travel to hill areas about twice a year, so I’m unsure whether a turbocharged or naturally aspirated (NA) engine would be better suited to my requirements. The two cars I’m currently considering are the Maruti Suzuki Brezza with its 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine and the Hyundai Venue with its 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. I’d like to understand which engine would be better suited to my usage, how the two compare in city traffic, highway driving and hill roads, and which would offer better long-term reliability and ease of maintenance. I’d also like to know the expected difference in real-world mileage between the two and, considering my overall requirements and budget, which of the two would be the better choice.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Brezza/2026_Maruti_Brezza_Front_Quarter_Static.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/3-reasons-to-buy-the-innova-crysta-and-2-to-skip-it-441042Autocar Indiaen2026-09-13T14:00:00+05:303 reasons to buy the Innova Crysta and 2 to skip ithttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260910_121843_873f880a.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-petrol-automatic-car-should-i-buy-as-a-replacement-for-my-ford-ecosport-502415Autocar Indiaen2026-09-13T13:40:00+05:30Hello, I own a Ford EcoSport 1.5 TDCi Titanium, and as per the new NCR norms, I will have to retire the car after it completes 10 years, which is next year. I am looking for the best replacement. I drive to Gurgaon on a weekly basis, along with regular city driving and occasional long trips to the hills.

My budget is around Rs 20 lakh on-road in Kerala. My monthly running is approximately 700-800km, with occasional long drives, and I plan to keep the car for at least 10 years. I recently test drove the Duster 1.3-litre DCT automatic and was quite impressed with its driving dynamics and comfort. I really enjoyed the overall driving experience. Could you please share your insights on whether the Duster would be a good choice for long-term ownership, considering my usage and the fact that I plan to keep the car for 10 years? Also, are there any other alternatives in this budget that I should consider?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Renault/duster/500_5520.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-reviews/royal-enfield-streetwind-eco-2-jacket-review-440550Autocar Indiaen2026-09-13T13:00:00+05:30Royal Enfield Streetwind Eco 2 Jacket Reviewhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260908_070400_530ae491.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-na-petrol-automatic-car-to-buy-hyryder-mild-hybrid-or-elevate-502428Autocar Indiaen2026-09-13T12:30:02+05:30I am planning to buy a naturally aspirated petrol automatic car and have shortlisted the Toyota Hyryder mild hybrid and Honda Elevate.
