I currently own a Tata Altroz petrol manual and am planning to change my car due to its poor mileage and low power. I am considering two options: the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi CNG and the Kia Sonet HTK(O) diesel manual, mainly for better mileage. My daily running is around 80km, with 20km in the city and 60km on the highway, about 4–5 days a week. I also travel to my hometown once every three months, covering around 800km on a round trip. Which of these two would be better suited to my usage? If CNG is the better option, can the Brezza be driven only on CNG for better mileage? Will regular CNG usage cause premature damage to the engine head or cylinder bore? I would also like to know about the service requirements and long-term reliability of both options. Additionally, will diesel-related restrictions or norms be implemented in Chennai as well? Please guide me on which car would be more suitable for my usage and whether these two are good choices.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Sonet/500_2029.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/scorpio-n-z8l-4wd-vs-xuv-7xo-ax7-t-awd-for-snow-and-hills-501527Autocar Indiaen2026-08-28T10:30:01+05:30I need an automatic SUV that can handle light snow and slushy conditions. I am confused between the Mahindra Scorpio N Z8L 4WD and Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7 T AWD.

This could increase to 80–100km a day in the future. I have booked a Maruti Victoris ZXi Strong Hybrid for Rs 20.5 lakh on-road after offers, but I am still confused about whether to consider the Tata Punch EV, Maruti e Vitara or any other option. Long-term reliability and keeping running costs manageable are important, as the car will be owned for at least 10 years. I am also concerned about ethanol blending in petrol. My first choice was the Kia Seltos diesel automatic HTK. Considering the expected usage and long-term ownership, which option would make the most financial sense?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/victoris/Victoris_2%20copy.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/new-ev-suvs-under-rs-24-lakh-with-good-space-and-features-501441Autocar Indiaen2026-08-28T09:30:01+05:30Hi, I want to upgrade from my 9 year old Honda WR-V to an electric SUV. My driving is mostly in the city, with only occasional highway trips, and the total monthly running does not exceed 1,000km. I like the Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq, but it seems impractical from a utility perspective once the excitement of owning a new car wears off. I am therefore looking for an EV SUV in the Rs 20-22 lakh range with good second-row space, strong design appeal and plenty of features. I would prefer something new on the block, as models like the Creta have become extremely common and feel less fresh. I also like the Harrier EV, but the features I want are available only in variants priced above Rs 25 lakh. Please suggest something new and worthwhile. I can stretch the budget to Rs 24 lakh if most of these requirements are met.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/sierra-ev/Tata_Sierra_EV_Front_Quarter_Static.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/skoda-slavia-or-volkswagen-virtus-first-car-limited-driving-experience-501452Autocar Indiaen2026-08-28T09:00:08+05:30I’m a first-time car buyer with very limited driving experience. I’ve only driven an SUV like the Mahindra KUV100 a few times in the past and have never driven a sedan before. I don’t really need a car for my daily commute, but I’d like to have one for long drives, convenience and occasional trips. I’m strongly considering the new Skoda Slavia or Volkswagen Virtus 1.0L MT because I really like both cars. Given my limited driving experience and the fact that I’ve never driven a sedan before, does it make sense to choose one of these as my first car? Would the Slavia or Virtus be manageable for someone with my level of experience, particularly when it comes to judging the car’s size, parking, manoeuvring in traffic and driving on highways?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/Slavia/GT_07169.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/harrier-vs-safari-vs-xuv-7xo-petrol-vs-diesel-501547Autocar Indiaen2026-08-28T08:30:05+05:30I’m looking for a car in the Rs 22-24 lakh budget.

I was initially looking for a 5-seater and liked the Harrier Petrol Automatic, but I am now also considering a 7-seater. Should I choose between the Harrier, Safari and XUV 7XO, and would petrol or diesel be more suitable for my usage?

I do not want a sunroof, and the budget is under Rs 18 lakh. My daily running is around 10-12km, with occasional weekend drives and one or two annual trips of around 500-600km.

Between the two, which would be more fuel-efficient, particularly with E20 petrol, offer good ride quality, and be reliable and easy to maintain over the next 10-15 years?

I’m emotionally attached to my vehicle and take very good care of them, so I’m looking for something that I can enjoy and keep for a long time. Most of my riding is within Pune city traffic, but I would also like to start exploring longer rides and weekend trips, which I haven’t really done so far. I’m not very familiar with all the good options currently available in the market. I have looked at the Harley-Davidson X440 and a couple of options from Triumph, but I’m still not sure what one would suit me the best. I would really appreciate your guidance in selecting the right bike based on my riding requirements, preferences and long-term ownership perspective.https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20250926_125040_baa3276f.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/kawasaki-w230-gets-a-new-colour-for-2027-440597Autocar Indiaen2026-08-27T16:53:46+05:30Kawasaki W230 gets a new colour for 2027https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260827_112308_82e41481.pnghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/petrol-vs-diesel-automatic-suv-for-1500-km-501635Autocar Indiaen2026-08-27T16:05:04+05:30I am looking for a 5-seater SUV, which should be sufficient for my requirements.

I am a first-time car buyer and a new driver. I want to buy a sub-4-meter SUV. My daily usage will be between 25- 30 km. It is mostly for city driving in Delhi NCR. I intend to buy an automatic and like the Kylaq as an option. But my understanding is that it is expensive to maintain. Among other options that I am considering are the Venue and the 3XO. However, Venue has DCT, which I understand is not great for city driving. Could you give me some more guidance on maintenance of the Kylaq and, generally, if I have to choose among these 3, what should be the best option? To clarify, my budget is 12-15 lakhs. I have already looked at the Brezza as an option but did not like the feel of it. Sonet has been disregarded because there is a new Sonet coming next year. Thank you for your input!https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kylaq/Skoda%20Kylaq_2_OP709803.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/ather-details-konarc-durability-tests-ahead-of-august-29-launch-440591Autocar Indiaen2026-08-27T14:58:35+05:30Ather details Konarc durability tests ahead of August 29 launchhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260827_091808_bd186188.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/honda-cb350-vs-meteor-350-for-back-comfort-501598Autocar Indiaen2026-08-27T14:35:02+05:30Hello, I work in industrial product sales and am looking to buy a bike that will help reduce back pain.

At the time of booking, the showroom claimed that the on-road price would not exceed Rs. 1.80 lakh. However, Honda has now officially announced that the ex-showroom price itself is around Rs. 1.70 lakh. At this price, does the ADV160 offer good value for money considering what Honda is offering? Also, does the Indian-spec version come with gas-charged rear shocks? I could not see any gas-charged units in the images of the Indian variant.
