My current situation: I own a 2023 Mahindra XUV300 W8(O) Diesel Manual (manufactured in February 2023) with 39,000 km on the odometer. It is one of the rare, trouble-free batches without a DPF filter. It delivers 15-16 km/l in the city and 20-21 km/l on the highway. The change: I will be relocating next month, and my daily commute will increase to 50 km, taking my annual running to around 15,000 km. The opportunity: My company offers a corporate car lease program that allows me to lease a vehicle using pre-tax income, resulting in around 30% savings in income tax. The wildcard: I am actively exploring job opportunities abroad. If I relocate, the car will be left behind for my father or brother-in-law to use. Given this situation, should I opt for the corporate car lease or continue with my current vehicle?https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-suv-should-i-buy-after-renault-duster-diesel-454684Autocar Indiaen2026-07-26T20:00:00+05:30I have been using a Renault Duster Diesel 2014 model RXL(O) 85 PS since 2015.

My usage is predominantly city driving, averaging 15-20 km per day, with occasional highway trips every 2-3 months, typically covering 500-800 km.

I also take 3-4 short trips of 400-500 km a year (70-75% on highways or expressways) and one cross-country trip of at least 3,000-4,000 km.

My driving pattern consists mainly of 30-40 km per day, almost entirely within Chandigarh city. I do take occasional highway trips, but the majority of my driving is in city traffic. My biggest priorities are low running costs over the long term, reliability and hassle-free ownership, good drivability in city traffic, and choosing a vehicle that I can comfortably keep for the next 7-10 years. I have a few questions. First, is a modern diesel automatic a sensible choice for someone who drives only 30-40 km a day in the city? I've heard concerns about DPF regeneration and whether diesel vehicles are suitable for predominantly urban driving. Would my daily usage be enough to avoid such issues? Second, if my driving pattern remains the same, would you recommend the XUV 7XO Diesel Automatic over the Petrol Automatic, or would the petrol variant be the better long-term choice? I've also been reading discussions suggesting that diesel fuel could gradually see higher blends of isobutanol or other biofuels in the future, similar to how ethanol blending has increased in petrol. Is this something buyers should genuinely be concerned about over the next 7-10 years, or is it unlikely to affect the reliability and longevity of modern diesel engines? From this perspective, would you still consider a diesel vehicle a safe long-term investment? I also really like the Mahindra XEV 9S because of its low running costs, smooth driving experience, and the convenience of home charging. My only concern is the availability of charging infrastructure during outstation trips. Although most of my driving is within the city, I do take occasional long-distance journeys and wouldn't want to feel restricted by charging availability. Considering my usage and priorities, which of these three would you recommend: the XUV 7XO AX5 Petrol Automatic, the XUV 7XO AX5 Diesel Automatic, or the Mahindra XEV 9S? If you were buying a vehicle for yourself with the same driving pattern and planned to keep it for the next 7-10 years, which one would you choose, and why? Looking forward to your expert advice.

Approximately 90% of my journey is on highways, with the remaining 10% on city roads. During my highway commute, I have to cross three bridges with expansion joints, which make the ride quite uncomfortable. I also suffer from sciatica-related back pain, so ride comfort and good suspension are my top priorities. I currently commute by car, but frequent traffic congestion significantly increases my travel time. As a result, I am planning to switch to a motorcycle for my daily commute. My budget is between Rs 2-4 lakh. Engine capacity is not a major concern, and I am open to motorcycles ranging from 150 cc to 450 cc. Based on my daily riding conditions, comfort requirements, and back condition, could you please recommend the most suitable motorcycle? I am particularly looking for a bike with the best suspension and ride comfort over bridge joints and uneven roads, a comfortable seat and relaxed riding ergonomics that are suitable for someone with sciatica, remains stable and composed at highway cruising speeds, and is reliable, easy to maintain, and offers a good long-term ownership experience.https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260420_141348_fa594632.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/opinion-why-product-planning-may-become-auto-industrys-most-coveted-function-440843Autocar Indiaen2026-07-26T08:00:00+05:30Opinion: Why product planning may become auto industry's most coveted functionhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260724_150809_563299b5.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/all-we-know-about-the-honda-xr300l-and-xr300-rally-440849Autocar Indiaen2026-07-26T07:00:17+05:30All we know about the Honda XR300L and XR300 Rallyhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260725_124654_590f5c0e.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/motor-sports-news/malaysia-added-to-2026-f1-calendar-440296Autocar Indiaen2026-07-26T05:27:11+05:30Malaysia added to 2026 F1 calendarhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260726_115430_4ecd1aaa.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/touring-motorcycle-under-3-lakh-for-pillion-comfort-452116Autocar Indiaen2026-07-25T21:00:03+05:30Hi, I live in Bangalore and am looking to buy a new motorcycle under 3 lakh (on-road) and would really appreciate your suggestions. I am planning to primarily use this bike for daily commuting, weekend rides, and occasional long-distance touring or adventure trips. My wife and I are both around 5'10" tall, and pillion comfort is a high priority. Since I occasionally experience back pain, a comfortable riding posture and good suspension are very important. Also, good mileage is another major deciding factor. I'm looking for a bike that offers a good balance of comfort (for both rider and pillion), reliability, fuel economy, touring capability and ability to handle occasional bad roads or light adventure riding.

My primary use will be daily city commuting to the office, but I also want to do occasional long-distance touring. I haven't done any long bike trips before, but it's something I want to start. So far, I've taken test rides of the Triumph Speed 400, Triumph Scrambler 400X, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Honda CB350RS, TVS RTX 300, and KTM 390 Adventure. I'm confused about which one to choose. My priorities in a bike include comfort during daily city commuting, ability to handle bumpy roads well. The bike should be capable of light off-roading and it should also be comfortable for long rides. One thing that I have noticed with some bikes is that after riding for a while, my palms started hurting. I'm not sure if it's because of my riding posture or the ergonomics, but I'd prefer a bike that doesn't cause that kind of discomfort. I'm 5'8" (173 cm) tall.

Should I choose the Meteor 350 or the Honda H'ness CB350?

We are a family of four, so most of the time, only five seats will be occupied. However, we occasionally travel in groups consisting of 4 adults, 3 older kids, and luggage, which is why I am considering the 7-seater option. Currently, I drive a 2019 Hyundai Santro Sportz, and my annual running is unlikely to exceed 10,000 km. We have test-driven the Tata Sierra, Kia Carens Clavis, and Kia Seltos, but the Alcazar felt better in terms of overall seating comfort, especially with older kids seated in the third row. Given my usage pattern and requirements, do you think the Alcazar Prestige 7-Seater Petrol Manual is a good choice? I am also open to considering other options in a similar price range if there are better alternatives. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Alcazar/500_1675.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/new-benelli-keeway-and-moto-morini-launches-on-the-horizon-440279Autocar Indiaen2026-07-25T07:00:00+05:30New Benelli, Keeway and Moto Morini launches on the horizonhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260723_092227_6f51aae5.jpg
