As I understand it, BS4 diesel vehicles in the NCR can continue to be used beyond 10 years, subject to passing the required fitness tests. However, my understanding is that during GRAP Stage 4 restrictions, such vehicles would not be allowed to operate.

Yet, after watching the latest drag race between the Tata Sierra and Skoda Kushaq, it's clear that the Kushaq lags, owing to the slow off-the-line response of the 7-speed DSG.

Thank you for continuing to solve our doubts in such a genuine way. I have a small query. We currently own a 2022 Tata Altroz XZ+ diesel. Since I have to travel about 100km daily, we are planning to upgrade to an EV. However, everyone at home, including me, is attached to the Altroz and is looking for a similar experience. I wanted to ask if an Altroz EV is in the works or if there has been any development on that front. Otherwise, could you suggest whether the Punch EV or the Nexon EV would be better for a family of four?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/nexon-ev/_AAB1600.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/are-the-kia-syros-low-mounted-headlights-prone-to-damage-in-daily-city-use-449872Autocar Indiaen2026-06-17T10:31:47+05:30I've placed a booking for the Kia Syros.

My budget is 12-16 lakh. While I am happy with my current car, I need something with more power for overtaking and lower maintenance requirements. Although my current annual usage is low (approximately 2,000-3,000km), I expect this to increase with a new car. My primary use will be city driving in Kochi with three passengers, but I need enough space and comfort for occasional long drives and airport runs. I am prioritising value for money. My current picks: Tata Punch EV (Empowered S+) - around 14 lakh Pros: The instant torque and overtaking performance are appealing. Shock absorbers are also nice. There are features (but not sure how much they will help me). Concerns: Tata’s quality control, long-term service consistency, and uncertainty around EV resale value and technology depreciation. Mahindra XUV 3XO (MX2 Pro TC Automatic) around ₹12 lakh Pros: Feels like a proper, spacious SUV. Cons: Lower fuel efficiency and higher RTO costs compared to an EV. Skoda Kylaq (Signature TC Automatic) - around 12.75 lakh Pros: Excellent reviews for handling and engine performance. Cons: Lower fuel efficiency and higher RTO costs compared to an EV. Citroen Aircross (X You Manual) - around 10 lakh Pros: Excellent reviews for ride comfort and handling. Cons: Manual transmission and concerns about the brand's service network. Overall, what should I choose between a manual, an automatic and an EV? Are automatics a no-brainer these days?

I would prefer an automatic transmission, but I am not completely sure whether that would be the best choice for me. I am also confused about whether I should buy a used small car initially and upgrade later, or purchase a new car right away, as I am concerned about maintenance costs as well.

She recently obtained her driving license and is currently driving an automatic Tata Nano. Now that she is comfortable and confident with it, I am considering upgrading her to a larger vehicle. I am evaluating options such as the Kylaq and the Kia Sonet. However, my wife is insisting on an electric car. I am a bit sceptical about EVs, as they are not yet fully proven to be trouble‑free, and her weekly commute is around 150 km. I am also waiting for the launch of the updated Brezza, and my preference is for a torque‑converter automatic rather than a DCT. I would appreciate your opinion on electric cars, the Kia Sonet diesel, the Brezza, and which one I should go for.

I absolutely love it. Around 10 years ago, I also owned a first-generation KTM Duke 200 for a brief period. I now want to get into weekend riding, but I am a bit confused about which motorcycle to buy. I have shortlisted the Ultraviolette X47, Hero XPulse 210, KTM 390 Enduro R, and Triumph Scrambler 400X. I have always been fascinated by dirt-oriented and naked motorcycles. I plan to keep the bike for a long time and have no intention of changing it anytime soon. The Ultraviolette X47 appeals to me because of the technology it offers, while the others attract me for their off-road capability and suitability for our road conditions. Which one would you suggest for my requirements?
