I have covered 1.3 lakh km, and the body, suspension, engine and gearbox are all in excellent condition. I see no reason to replace the car and am happy to drive it for many more lakh kilometres. However, I'm concerned about external factors that could limit the longevity of the car: Legal longevity of a BS4 diesel car in India: My understanding is that only Delhi-NCR currently has a 10-year age limit for diesel vehicles, and I don't recall any other state or city imposing a similar restriction. However, with rising pollution levels in cities and increasing concerns around older diesel vehicles being high-polluting, are you hearing anything from automakers or industry insiders about potential regulations that could limit the use or lifespan of BS4 diesel cars in other parts of India? Iso-butanol blends: I understand that iso-butanol blending in fuel is still in the early stages of exploration. Could higher levels of iso-butanol blending potentially create any compatibility issues with BS4 diesel engines? Given that my car is in excellent mechanical condition, I'm keen to understand whether these external factors could eventually force me to replace it, despite the car itself having plenty of life left.https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260605_045917_e4bbbe21.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/petrol-suv-under-15-lakh-comfort-performance-1000km-monthly-running-501241Autocar Indiaen2026-08-20T09:30:08+05:30I am looking to buy a petrol SUV with a budget of around Rs 15 lakh.

I liked the new Tata Tiago AMT petrol, as my initial running will be under 500km a month. I shortlisted it over the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R and Celerio mainly because of its safety features. Speed and performance are not major concerns, as both my wife and I are new to driving. Is the Tiago AMT the right choice for our needs? Please advise, particularly in terms of maintenance costs and overall cost of ownership.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/tiago/Tata_Tiago_Facelift_Front_Quarter_Tracking.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/skoda-kylaq-vs-kia-sonet-diesel-which-car-is-suitable-for-mountain-trips-and-daily-use-501201Autocar Indiaen2026-08-20T08:30:05+05:30I am upgrading from a Brezza diesel and am looking for a car under Rs 15 lakh for a daily run of 30km+ and occasional mountain trips.
