I am thinking of getting a new car. I don’t drive much, except for some long highway drives once every six months. I have hybrid cars like the Sorento in mind. Is it worth changing?https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/car-images/kia/sorento/kia-sorento-front-left-three-quarter-2.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-wait-for-upgraded-thar-roxx-or-buy-current-model-launch-date-503644Autocar Indiaen2026-10-11T21:45:06+05:30Hi, I booked a Thar Roxx AX7L diesel automatic 4WD, and I hope to get the car this month. But recently I have seen posts about an upgrade coming for the Thar Roxx. A new upgraded model is reportedly under testing and is expected to launch soon. Kindly advise whether I should wait for the upgrade or continue with the purchase of the current model. Also, when will the new updated model be launched? Please advise.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/thar-roxx/500_4642.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-reliable-car-for-father-city-slavia-tekton-hyryder-or-wait-virtus-creta-503720Autocar Indiaen2026-10-11T20:45:12+05:30I currently own a Jeep Compass and want to get an additional car for my father, with good reliability, unlike the Jeep. My father still drives a 2008 Honda City, and I am torn between a few choices: the Honda City, Skoda Slavia, Nissan Tekton and Toyota Hyryder. Or should I wait for the Virtus facelift or the new-generation Creta? His usage is low, at almost 500 km per month. Please suggest.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Honda/City/AAB02979.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/kia-sorento-vs-innova-hycross-vs-skoda-kodiaq-diesel-or-hybrid-503765Autocar Indiaen2026-10-11T19:45:54+05:30Please recommend one of the Sorento, Hycross and Kodiaq (all automatic). I drive 350 km on the highway each week, plus 50 km per day in the city for 3 days. My decision criteria are: Diesel or hybrid, Safety (Kia has a bad reputation), Back-seat comfort on the highway, Driving quality, Last-row seat comfort, and Comfort when driving myself I am leaning toward the Sorento. If so, should I choose the diesel or the hybrid?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/innova-hycross/500_7180.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/is-5-star-safety-rating-real-which-7-seater-automatic-under-20-lakh-503723Autocar Indiaen2026-10-11T18:45:04+05:30I keep fixating on achieving a 5-star safety rating for both adult and child occupants. My family consists of four adults and one child. I currently drive a Tata Altroz MT and want to upgrade to an automatic car. My requirements are as follows: I cannot buy an SUV because an elderly family member finds it difficult to get in and out. I cannot buy another Tata or Mahindra. My budget is a maximum of Rs 20 lakh, which I plan to pay off over three years. I need a 7-seater. I need good ground clearance, but the car must also be easy for elderly people to get in and out of. A 5-star safety rating for both adult and child occupants is non-negotiable. Given these requirements, does a 5-star safety rating actually mean anything in real-world conditions, or is it just a marketing gimmick?

The car will be driven on bumpy village roads and semi-hilly roads in Kerala, with occasional trips on state highways. My maximum budget is Rs 13-14 lakh on-road. Reliability and service quality are also important, as my dad is not very knowledgeable about automobiles. So far, we have been happy with the Honda Amaze’s service costs and quality, and the car has not had any major issues.

I will occasionally take it on hill getaways. I like the Skoda Kylaq, but it misses out on a 360-degree camera and a proper digital instrument cluster. Its older user interface also feels familiar because I already own a Volkswagen Virtus. The Hyundai Venue does not feel special enough for its price, while the Mahindra XUV 3XO has awkward proportions and an uncomfortable rear seat, despite having the best suspension, engine and transmission combination. Should I wait for the new Kia Sonet or another launch expected by early next year? I also find DCTs less suited to city driving, although I realise no car can offer everything.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Fronx/_AAB6306.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-diesel-automatic-car-should-i-buy-under-rs-18-lakh-503733Autocar Indiaen2026-10-10T17:30:02+05:30Which diesel automatic car to buy under 18 lakh?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Venue/DSC_8177.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/is-the-honda-elevate-worth-rs-3-5-lakh-more-than-the-skoda-kylaq-for-reliability-and-refinement-503735Autocar Indiaen2026-10-10T17:00:30+05:30Why would anyone pay Rs 3-5 lakh more for a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol SUV like the Honda Elevate over a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol car like the Skoda Kylaq, especially when the Kylaq offers more torque and a torque-converter automatic? The turbo produces around 178Nm from 1,800rpm, while the naturally aspirated engine makes about 145Nm at around 4,300rpm. The turbo should also lose less power at altitude, and the torque-converter automatic avoids the concerns associated with a dry-clutch DCT. Is the Elevate really worth the premium for long-term reliability and refinement?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kylaq/Skoda%20Kylaq_5.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-choose-the-tata-curvv-or-new-renault-duster-503739Autocar Indiaen2026-10-10T16:39:28+05:30I am confused between the Tata Curvv and the new Renault Duster.
