I am looking for a 7-seater, although it will mostly be used as a 5-seater, with occasional requirements to carry 6-7 passengers. The car will primarily be used in Gurgaon for city driving, along with highway trips on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway for going to Kota, Rajasthan. My key requirements include good comfort for five passengers, a usable third row when needed, and a preference for an automatic transmission. My budget is around ₹26 lakh. At present, I am inclined towards the Tata Safari Petrol AT (Accomplished X). However, my main concern is the drop in mileage and the resulting increase in running costs. My current Honda City delivers around 23 kpl on highways and about 15 kpl in the city, whereas I expect the Safari petrol automatic to return roughly 12 kpl on highways and about 9 kpl in city conditions. This translates to a significant 40-50% drop in fuel efficiency, leading to noticeably higher fuel expenses. My monthly usage is approximately 800 km, split evenly between city and highway driving. While fuel efficiency is an important factor, it is not the only deciding criterion. I have considered diesel options but ruled them out due to my usage pattern, as the car may remain unused for weeks at a time and may not see highway runs for two to three months, which could lead to DPF-related issues. I have also evaluated the Mahindra XUV700 AX7 AT in both petrol and diesel forms. The petrol variant still has relatively low mileage, while the diesel brings back the same DPF concerns. Additionally, the third row in the XUV700 is not very practical due to tight headroom and limited knee room. The second row does not slide, which makes access more difficult. I briefly considered the Carens Clavis as well, but it appears to offer lower safety compared to the other options.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/safari/GT_03679.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/volkswagen-taigun-comfortline-vs-skoda-kushaq-classic-base-variants-compared-440418Autocar Indiaen2026-04-13T14:45:57+05:30Volkswagen Taigun Comfortline vs Skoda Kushaq Classic+: Base variants comparedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260413_084635_b939e45c.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-to-buy-under-12-lakh-for-mostly-highway-driving-445529Autocar Indiaen2026-04-13T14:45:00+05:30I am planning to buy a car with a budget of around ₹10-12lakh.

I’m currently considering SUVs. I’ve test-driven the GLC, the new X3 30, Q5, and the XC60. At this point, I’m leaning strongly toward the X3, although I was quite impressed with the Volvo as well. For some context, I currently drive a 2016 Creta, which is now in its 11th year. My usage is primarily city commuting, averaging around 500 km per month. My main question is whether the X3 is a good daily driver, given its size. I’m planning to make the purchase later this year or early next year, ideally with minimal financing. From a timing perspective, what level of discounts could I expect if I target early next year?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/volvo/xc60/_AAB5929.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/draft-cafe-3-norms-ease-emission-targets-small-cars-benefit-more-439443Autocar Indiaen2026-04-13T12:43:44+05:30Draft CAFE 3 norms ease emission targets; small cars benefit morehttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260413_065432_6802f2d4.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/does-it-make-sense-to-upgrade-from-xuv700-petrol-to-xev-9s-ev-445270Autocar Indiaen2026-04-13T12:20:00+05:30I have been driving a XUV700 Petrol AT, and it has done around 52,000 Km.
