I am confused between the E 220d, E 200 petrol, and BMW 5 Series. I drive around 1,500-2000 km per month and I’m planning to keep the car for the long term. I’m considering the E 220d mainly because it’s a diesel and seems to offer a great combination of performance, comfort, and mileage. It keeps coming back to my mind because I feel it could give me the best of all three. But at the same time, I have a concern about DPF issues with diesel cars, especially because a significant part of my driving is in the city. Is DPF clogging or regeneration really something I should worry about with my usage, or would my monthly running be enough to consider E 220d? I live in the NCR, where the 10-year diesel rule is also a major concern. So, is the E 220d actually useful for me, or would the E 200 petrol or BMW 5 Series make more sense? I drive the car myself but also spend a lot of time sitting in the rear, so I want something that is extremely comfortable, luxurious, and relaxing in the back, while its still being fun and enjoyable to drive when I’m behind the wheel. I want a proper luxury experience but also good performance and driving pleasure. If you were in my position, which one would you choose amongst E 220d, E 200, or BMW 5 Series considering my 1,500 km monthly usage, city driving, occasional highway driving, DPF concerns, comfort, performance, mileage, maintenance, long-term ownership, and overall value for money? If I choose the E 220d, how many kilometres should I ideally drive over 10 years for the diesel to actually make financial sense and be paisa vasool? And after 10 years, what resale value can I realistically expect, especially considering the 10-year diesel restriction in NCR?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mercedes/e-class/_AAB2463.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/all-new-classic-bajaj-pulsar-125-launched-from-rs-92990-440563Autocar Indiaen2026-08-24T15:20:01+05:30All-new Classic Bajaj Pulsar 125 launched from Rs 92,990https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260824_094949_34217c68.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-2027-skoda-superb-diesel-440958Autocar Indiaen2026-08-24T15:05:39+05:30All you need to know about the 2027 Skoda Superb dieselhttps://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/superb/Skoda_Superb_Front_Quarter.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/e10-petrol-iftex-system-g-and-g-plus-additive-impact-on-tata-nexon-455797Autocar Indiaen2026-08-24T15:00:06+05:30I own a January 2018 Tata Nexon petrol.

Will all electric scooters eventually be mandated by law to have ABS? I also like the TVS X electric scooter, as it’s fun to ride. Is it a safe choice in terms of maintenance, considering it’s a relatively new model? I don’t use the scooter much and ride only around 1,000km a year. This is mainly a purchase for my happiness. My budget is up to Rs 5 lakh. I’m not considering a petrol scooter because of my low usage and the additional maintenance it would require.

My current options are the Nexon Creative AMT, which is around Rs 12.46 lakh on-road, and the Creative AMT Camo, which costs around Rs 12.90 lakh on-road. The difference is roughly Rs 44,000. I’m particularly interested in the Camo for its additional features and the Munnar Mist colour, but I’m wondering whether the extra Rs 44,000 is actually worth paying over the regular Creative AMT. My priorities are good long-term ownership, genuinely useful features rather than cosmetic additions, safety and comfort, and decent resale value. I’m also planning to keep the car for several years, and my overall budget is strictly under Rs 13 lakh on-road. So, which would be the better choice: the Creative AMT to save Rs 44,000, the Creative AMT Camo by paying the extra Rs 44,000, or skipping the Nexon and considering another manufacturer or variant under Rs 13 lakh? If buying with this budget today, which one would you choose and why? I’d also be interested in hearing from anyone who has already booked or owns the Camo, particularly regarding its unique features, 360-degree camera and dashcam functionality, and whether the Camo package feels worth the premium.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/nexon/_BE07305.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/re-hunter-350-vs-350cc-triumph-speed-400-price-and-specifications-compared-440950Autocar Indiaen2026-08-23T12:00:00+05:30RE Hunter 350 vs 350cc Triumph Speed 400: Price and specification comparisonhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260821_142139_e06a5d73.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/automatic-car-under-15-lakh-low-running-petrol-ev-hybrid-501221Autocar Indiaen2026-08-23T11:55:06+05:30I am looking for an automatic car under Rs 15 lakh, although the budget can be somewhat flexible. My monthly running is no more than 500km, largely within the NCR, with only occasional weekend trips to Haryana, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. I am open to petrol, EV and hybrid options, but given my low usage, a petrol car would probably make the most sense. However, the uncertainty around fuel-blending policies is what has made me consider an EV. With such low running, I am also concerned that a DCT gearbox may not be ideal, so I would prefer a car with a torque-converter automatic. A Hyundai dealer mentioned that Hyundai’s DCT and torque-converter automatics are essentially the same, but I am not convinced that is correct. I would appreciate some recommendations based on these requirements.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Brezza/2026_Maruti_Brezza_Front_Quarter_Tracking.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/motor-sports-news/2026-f1-norris-defeats-antonelli-to-win-dutch-gp-440561Autocar Indiaen2026-08-23T11:44:26+05:302026 F1: Norris defeats Antonelli to win Dutch GPhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260823_180842_131ca747.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/shouild-i-buy-kia-seltos-gtx-dct-or-wait-for-hybrid-501198Autocar Indiaen2026-08-23T11:00:01+05:30My total monthly running is around 2,000 km between Delhi and Gurgaon.

My annual running is around 12,000km, mostly on the highway, although the car may sometimes remain parked for 3–6 months because I work abroad. My budget is around Rs 18 lakh, with some flexibility of another Rs 1–2 lakh, and I prefer a manual. I’m currently considering the Hyundai Alcazar Executive petrol, Alcazar diesel and Mahindra XUV 7XO base/AX3 diesel. The XUV 7XO is a large and heavy car, so I’m concerned that the petrol version may not deliver good real-world fuel economy. The Tata Safari petrol is also on the list, but I have some concerns about Tata’s after-sales service. My priorities are long-term reliability, real-world mileage, maintenance costs and overall peace of mind rather than just features. I’m also considering the implications of E20 petrol and potential DPF/AdBlue-related issues with a diesel car that may sit unused for several months. The XUV 7XO’s lower variants also have a long waiting period, whereas Hyundai is currently offering a Rs 1 lakh ex-showroom discount on the Alcazar.

My annual running is around 11,000-13,000 km, 80% of which is in the city, with occasional highway trips. Although I don't consistently drive at triple-digit speeds on highways, I really value good acceleration and overtaking capability in my new car. Driving dynamics are also important to me, and since some of my family members, including myself, are prone to motion sickness, I am okay with less body roll and a slightly stiffer suspension. I have capped my budget at Rs 20 lakh maximum on-road, and an automatic transmission is a must. I will be exchanging my Swift, which is expected to fetch around Rs 2-2.5 lakh here in Kerala. I have shortlisted the VW twins with the 1.0-litre AT as well as the 1.5-litre DSG. I am also considering the Seltos IVT and DCT. The XUV 7XO Diesel AT is another option under consideration. I have ruled out the Duster because the rear-seat experience feels like a step back. I am also getting offers for the Hycross GX petrol through a corporate tie-up with my company. I am completely confused among these options.
