I wanted your guidance on whether I should buy the new Lexus ES 350h Hybrid or wait for the upcoming BMW i5 LWB. My concern with the BMW i5 LWB is that it is likely to be one of the last models based on BMW&apos;s current platform, with the Neue Klasse-based i5 expected to arrive in the near future. Given how quickly EV technology is evolving, I am worried that it could become outdated relatively soon.

On the other hand, the Lexus ES 350h is based on Toyota&apos;s sixth-generation hybrid technology, which makes me feel it may remain relevant for longer within its segment. That said, the idea of switching to an EV is also very exciting, so I am finding it difficult to decide. Which one would you recommend?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/BMW/i7/_BE03152.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/auto-images/bugatti-destrier-image-gallery-440424</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-08-09T16:00:02+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Bugatti Destrier image gallery</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/image-galleries/images/20260809_064418_1699c892.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/vw-virtus-vs-tata-safari-which-offers-better-value-455809</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-08-09T15:01:25+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Comparing VW Virtus Highline Plus 1.0 TSI Automatic with the Tata Safari Pure X turbo petrol manual.

I recently learned to drive and have never owned or regularly driven a car before. My budget is around Rs. 12.5 lakh.

I&apos;ve shortlisted the Hyundai Venue HX5 Petrol DCT, but I also checked out the Kia Seltos HTE Petrol Manual and really liked its interior. Now I&apos;m really confused about which one to buy, especially since I&apos;ve heard that DCT gearboxes can have issues in heavy traffic.

At the moment, my driving will mostly be on highways, with a 70:30 highway-to-city split. However, my city usage could increase in the future.

One more thing I noticed during the test drives is that the Venue&apos;s manual clutch felt extremely light. The Seltos also has a light clutch, but it isn&apos;t as effortless as the Venue&apos;s.

Please help me decide which one would be the better choice.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Venue/DSC_8177.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-reviews/ducati-multistrada-v4-pikes-peak-review-shapeshifter-440507</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-08-09T09:00:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak Review: Shapeshifter!</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260807_120603_f882c74b.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/xuv-7xo-vs-skoda-kodiaq-driving-experience-value-comparison-455878</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-08-09T08:01:01+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I’m planning to buy a premium SUV.

I’m currently considering the Mahindra XUV 7XO top-end petrol automatic and the Skoda Kodiaq L&amp;K. I understand there’s a significant price difference between the two, but my budget allows for either.

I enjoy driving and won’t be hiring a chauffeur, so the driving experience is important to me. While both SUVs offer similar power on paper, does the Kodiaq provide a noticeably better sense of quality, cabin feel, driving pleasure, and after-sales service that justifies its higher price?

I’m also open to suggestions from other brands that fit my requirements, such as entry-level Audi or BMW models, except Tata vehicles.

My usage is 70% highway and 30% city, with a monthly running of only 500-750 km. I live in Bangalore and primarily use the car for weekend drives and highway trips.
Cars tested:
Honda Elevate MT/CVT: Reliable and comfortable, but the CVT felt dull, and I feel the naturally aspirated engine may not be exciting enough for highway driving.
Kia Seltos Turbo DCT &amp; Diesel AT: Feature-loaded, spacious, and family-friendly. The turbo-petrol feels quick, while the diesel AT feels effortless, but I am concerned about long-term DCT reliability and diesel DPF issues.
Volkswagen Taigun/Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI AT: I loved the driving experience, stability, and engine performance. However, the cabin feels smaller compared to the Seltos.
Volkswagen Taigun 1.5 DSG: I could not properly test its performance due to heavy city traffic.
Volkswagen Virtus 1.0 TSI: This was the most confidence-inspiring car I drove, but my family is not keen on buying a sedan.
Current concerns:
My low annual running makes me question whether a diesel is the right choice due to DPF-related concerns.
I am worried about the long-term reliability of turbo-petrol engines, DSG/DCT gearboxes, ethanol-blended fuel compatibility, and fuel economy.
Naturally aspirated petrol engines seem more reliable, but I am concerned they may feel underpowered after driving a torquey diesel for years.
Budget: Rs. 15-22 lakh on-road (Bangalore). The car will be purchased through my company lease program, so tax benefits will apply.
Currently, my shortlist includes:
Kia Seltos Turbo Petrol / Diesel AT

Considering my usage pattern and long-term ownership plans, which engine and powertrain would you recommend for the least-regret ownership experience?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0280.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/advice/should-i-buy-the-maruti-brezza-1-0-boosterjet-or-1-5-na-for-long-term-ownership-455829</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-08-08T17:01:24+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I have waited more than six months for the Brezza facelift/update, and now I’m a bit confused between the engine options. Initially, I was leaning towards the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated (NA) engine, but the 1.0-litre Boosterjet now seems like the better value-for-money option.
I don’t want to retrofit any accessories from the aftermarket. The Brezza VXI 1.0-litre Boosterjet has all the features I need except the 60:40 split-folding rear seats. On the other hand, the Brezza ZXI 1.5-litre NA has all the features I want, but it also comes with a sunroof, which I don’t really need.
In my city, the on-road price difference between the Brezza VXI Turbo and the Brezza ZXI NA is Rs. 2,29,000.
My biggest concerns are: Long-term reliability, Maintenance costs, Compatibility with future ethanol fuel blends, and Carbon buildup on the intake valves. If it occurs, what would be the repair or cleaning cost?
Will the 1.0-litre Boosterjet continue to perform as well as the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine if higher ethanol fuel blends become common in the future? Is there any reason to believe I might regret choosing the 1.0-litre Boosterjet over the 1.5-litre NA in the long run?
Budget: Maximum ₹10.6 lakh (ex-showroom)
Models under consideration: Brezza VXI Turbo (1.0-litre Boosterjet) and Brezza ZXI NA (1.5-litre)
Primary usage: Less than 850 km per month, school commute: 25 km round trip per day (~650 km/month), weekend family drives (3–5 members): ~200 km/month, driving pattern: 50% city (Tier-3 city) and 50% village roads and highways, one or two annual hill-station trips, each approximately 800 km round trip, and First-time car buyer.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Brezza/2026_Maruti_Brezza_Cornering.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/auto-images/lamborghini-revuelto-miura-60-homage-image-gallery-440422</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-08-08T16:01:58+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Lamborghini Revuelto Miura 60 Homage image gallery</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/image-galleries/images/20260807_123615_ba387ff2.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-hyundai-venue-turbo-automatic-or-manual-455885</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-08-08T16:00:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am considering the Hyundai Venue petrol automatic.

Which transmission should I consider, automatic or manual? I have heard that automatic transmissions can develop issues after a few years. Is it safe to take the automatic variant to hilly areas?

I am planning to buy my first car and am confused between the Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX A MT Petrol and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi+ Turbo MT Petrol. I feel the Brezza offers better value for money, more features, and is actually priced lower than the 3XO. At the same time, I understand that the Brezza offers better reliability, fuel efficiency, and long-term peace of mind. However, the 3XO feels more premium and, from what I have heard, offers a better ride quality. 

I plan to keep the car for 10 years or more, so long-term ownership is an important factor.

After a lot of research and multiple test rides, I&apos;ve narrowed my options down to the Triumph Tracker 400 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. I&apos;m looking for advice from owners or experienced riders who have spent time with either or both bikes. I&apos;ve been riding motorcycles for around 7-8 years and this bike will be my primary motorcycle for at least the next 4-5 years. My usage will be approximately 70-80% city commuting to office and 20-30% rides during weekend with occasional long-distance trips of more than 250 km every 2-3 months. I will almost always have a pillion with me, so pillion comfort, suspension, and overall ride quality are very important factors. I enjoy riding but I&apos;m not someone who rides aggressively all the time. I appreciate a refined, confidence-inspiring motorcycle that is also enjoyable on open highways. I&apos;ll be paying the full amount in cash so I&apos;m looking for the best overall ownership experience rather than simply the cheapest option. During my test rides, the Tracker 400 felt lighter, more road-focused, and easier to ride in the city. It had a cowl so didn&apos;t get to check it with the pillion. The Scrambler 400 X engine felt somewhat the same but just a little toned down and not as aggresive as the Tracker given the higher power produced and better suspension. However, the braking was not as expected. My main concerns are related to finding more suitable bike for someone who rides mostly in the city but enjoys weekend touring. Which bike is more comfortable for both rider and pillion on longer rides? Does the Scrambler&apos;s taller suspension and larger front wheel become a disadvantage in daily city riding? Is the Tracker significantly easier to live with in traffic? Considering the fact that I&apos;ll own the bike for 4-5 years, which one offers the better overall ownership experience? I&apos;d really appreciate insights from owners, especially those who have ridden both motorcycles or regularly ride with a pillion. Thanks in advance!</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260604_131520_f8eb89ca.avif?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/advice/have-the-2026-hero-xtreme-250r-issues-been-fixed-and-when-will-the-updated-tft-cruise-control-version-launch-455826</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-08-07T10:30:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Hi everyone, I wanted to enquire about the Hero Xtreme 250R.
