I own a 2025 Skoda Kodiaq L&amp;T variant. Due to the very bad, dusty and narrow roads in Bangalore, I hesitate to take my Kodiaq out every day.

Our trips always have a couple of more members joining us. I like the XUV 7XO (diesel) automatic but I am not too sure about its longevity since I would like to own this car for 8-10 years. I considered the Alcazar but I felt the 2nd row is slightly narrow compared to the 7XO. Also, as a car that costs as much as the 7XO isn&apos;t nearly as powerful either. Are these my only options? I know my usage may not need a diesel but I would like to own one while these are still available, so I don&apos;t mind the delta in price. Also, with the E20 petrol, the performance and efficiency of my current S-Cross has seen drastic difference. I would like the car to be engaging to drive and also reliable with a fuss free ownership.

Is it the same for X version also? Second advice is for its service network. I have heard from the people that its service is slow. Regular servicing also takes around 2 days of time.

I recently drove a friend’s Kylaq Signature+ AT and genuinely loved it. It felt mature, eager, and somehow familiar, almost like home. Since I intend to keep my cars for a long time, I started exploring larger European cars.

The Kushaq’s exterior is jaw-dropping, but something feels missing in its dashboard design. The Taigun’s interior looks premium, even if the materials aren’t particularly soft-touch. Then there’s the European Duster Adventure AT, which costs around Rs 4 lakh less than some of my other options, but I’m not particularly keen on its reflector headlights.

Now I’m tempted to test-drive the Scorpio-N Z6 D AT and XUV 7XO AX3 D AT as well, since they fall within a similar price range. However, fuel efficiency, servicing and overall ownership costs seem excessive for someone who drives barely 5,000km a year, mostly for pleasure. I commute on my Jupiter.

Here’s my dilemma. The Kylaq Sportline AT would cost around Rs 13 lakh with BH registration. I loved driving it, and its space should be sufficient even if kids enter the picture five years from now. The Duster Adventure AT costs around Rs 16 lakh and sits a segment above the Kylaq, with a more substantial mechanical package. My heart has wanted a VW or Skoda ever since we bought Dad’s Honda City, which is why the Kushaq and Taigun remain tempting options. Then there’s the XUV 7XO AX3 D AT at around Rs 20 lakh. It’s huge and tempting, but I’m unsure about its body roll. My friend’s 2019 XUV500 impressed me, although its body roll was noticeable.

I don’t really need a big SUV, but if I’m buying a car to keep for the long term, should I stretch my budget or stick with the Kylaq, which I already love driving?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kylaq/Skoda%20Kylaq_2_OP709803.JPG?w=1200&amp;h=675&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=entropy&amp;q=75&amp;fm=auto</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-to-buy-for-long-term-ownership-504044</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-10-18T19:00:05+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Please advise which car would be the best choice for long-term ownership: the Mahindra Scorpio, Tata Safari, Tata Harrier, Jeep Compass, Volkswagen SUV, or any other suitable option.

I am planning to buy the Tata Altroz diesel, but I am confused between the Altroz and the Kia Sonet. Given that both options fall into different segments, I am unsure whether I should go for the Altroz or consider a sub-4-metre SUV like the Sonet. Could you please help me understand which would be the better choice?

I’m planning to buy a Tata Sierra diesel and would really value your advice. I’ll be driving mostly in Hyderabad, with city traffic accounting for the majority of my usage and occasional highway trips.
Could you please help me with a few questions?
1. Is the Tata Sierra a good buy right now? How is it performing in the market, and has it been a sales success or a flop?
2. What is its real-world diesel mileage in city traffic and on highways, based on your tests?
3. How are its build quality, reliability, and long-term ownership prospects?
4. How good are Tata’s service network, spare parts availability, and running costs, especially in Hyderabad?
5. Given my annual running of around 12,000-15,000km, is the diesel worth the premium, or would the petrol version make more sense?
6. How does it compare with rivals such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Mahindra XUV700 for my usage?
Thank you for your time. I look forward to your guidance.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Tata/sierra/2026%20Sierra%20Front%20right.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=675&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=entropy&amp;q=75&amp;fm=auto</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/car-long-termer/mg-windsor-long-term-review-17500km-report-440605</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-10-17T09:00:03+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>MG Windsor long term review, 17,500km report</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20261015_121753_7d921996.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-petrol-diesel-cng-or-electric-car-under-rs-12-lakh-503977</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-10-17T08:00:07+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am planning to buy a car with a budget of Rs 10-12 lakh.
