The car will be mainly used for long trips. I'm the kind of a person who prefers less congested village roads over a neat highway with heavy traffic. My monthly running is approximately 1,500-1,800 km. The value-for-money factor pushes me towards the Thar Roxx MX5 over the ZXT variant of the Thar OG but one major factor holding me back from choosing the Roxx is the colour of interior. I don't like white in cars and the Mocha interior didn't impress me either. So which car should I choose? And if you suggest the Roxx, is Mahindra planning to introduce a full black/Ebony edition?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/thar-roxx/500_4611_1.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/new-honda-elevate-on-road-prices-listed-in-major-indian-cities-440942Autocar Indiaen2026-10-07T11:28:02+05:30New Honda Elevate on-road prices listed in major Indian citieshttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20261007_052038_cc4ab1a3.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-innova-crysta-variant-should-i-buy-503599Autocar Indiaen2026-10-07T11:00:12+05:30Regarding the Crysta option, I have found a 2024 Innova Crysta ZX manual with only 10,000 km on the odometer, available for sale at an authorised showroom.

We are a family of four, but occasionally 5 passengers travel in the car. So, we want a car with a comfortable 2nd row that fits three occupants. We want a car with 600L+ big boot space (preferably) measured by depth instead of height. Our daily running is mostly within the city, but we like to drive, so occasional highway trips are always going to be on the cards. Between the powertrains, we prefer diesel, but are open to electric as well since we have a parking spot where we can easily install a charging point. Our shortlisted cars so far include XEV 9e and Kia Seltos.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xev-9e/_AAB6953.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/2027-ducati-multistrada-v4-s-grand-tour-revealed-440932Autocar Indiaen2026-10-06T13:28:40+05:302027 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour revealedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20261006_081952_e9fefe01.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/royal-enfield-classic-350-price-hiked-440931Autocar Indiaen2026-10-06T12:36:50+05:30Royal Enfield Classic 350 price hikedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20261006_070625_06bb310f.jpeghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/skoda-slavia-facelift-launched-at-rs-10-lakh-440929Autocar Indiaen2026-10-06T12:15:55+05:30Skoda Slavia facelift launched at Rs 10 lakh https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20261006_064415_070fff14.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-under-20-lakh-is-suitable-for-a-6ft-3in-driver-503567Autocar Indiaen2026-10-06T11:58:20+05:30I am 6 feet 3 inches tall and I’ve been struggling to fit in a car in which I can sit comfortably without the steering wheel hitting my knees.

I have driven both cars but am still not sure which one to choose.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Honda/Amaze/OP7_9770.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-7-seater-car-is-best-for-family-and-dog-503410Autocar Indiaen2026-10-05T19:00:03+05:30I’m quite confused about my next car upgrade and would really appreciate some advice from people who have experience travelling with large families and pets. We are a family of six: my wife, our child, my parents, our dog and me. Until now, I’ve been using a Tata Punch, which has served us reasonably well. However, with our little baby, things have become considerably more complicated. A five-seater no longer seems practical, especially when we travel with luggage and our dog. My usage is a mix of daily commuting (around 20 km a day) and family road trips. We usually undertake 3-4 long trips a year with approx 3-4k kms round trip. I’ve been considering three options: 1. Tata Sierra The idea here is to use all five seats for the family and create a padded, bed-like platform in the boot for our dog. I could use the space underneath the platform for luggage. The ROX edition’s roof carrier is another interesting option, although I’m unsure about the legal restrictions on roof-mounted luggage carriers and whether they could attract challans in states such as Delhi, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. 2. Tata Safari The Safari offers the advantage of a third row. I’m wondering whether I could fold down half of the third row to accommodate luggage while keeping the other half for my dog. I’d probably need to install some sort of secure partition or cage to prevent luggage from shifting onto the dog or flying forward during sudden braking. However, I’m not sure how practical or safe this arrangement would be. 3. Toyota Innova Hycross (GXO) Given that my daily commute is relatively short, I’m not convinced that the hybrid’s additional cost would be justified by fuel savings alone. However, the Hycross’s cabin and luggage space are appealing. I’m wondering whether the third-row floor and boot could be configured to create a sufficiently large, flat and comfortable space for my dog while still accommodating our luggage. At this stage, these are just ideas, and I’m not sure how practical any of them would be in real-world conditions. I’d particularly appreciate advice from people who travel with their dogs, especially on long road trips. How do you manage luggage, ensure your pet’s safety and keep the cabin comfortable for everyone? Are there any other vehicles or practical modifications I should consider? One important consideration is that our baby is still very small, so we don’t have any major trips planned in the immediate future. I’m perfectly happy to postpone our next big road trip for a year or so. Consequently, I’m in no hurry to buy a car and am open to waiting for upcoming launches if something more suitable is on the horizon. I’d love to hear about your actual experiences, particularly with pet-friendly car setups, rather than just theoretical suggestions. Any advice on the choice of vehicle, safe modifications or alternative configurations would be greatly appreciated.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Toyota/innova-hycross/500_6252.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/motor-sports-news/motogp-2026-marc-marquez-wins-japanese-gp-440925Autocar Indiaen2026-10-05T18:32:37+05:30MotoGP 2026: Marc Marquez wins Japanese GPhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20261005_130209_b6837942.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/mercedes-benz-cla-electric-gets-1000-plus-orders-in-india-440923Autocar Indiaen2026-10-05T18:14:00+05:30Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric gets 1,000-plus orders in Indiahttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20261005_123650_5f154a9b.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-diesel-automatic-suv-should-i-buy-seltos-or-7xo-503378Autocar Indiaen2026-10-05T18:00:04+05:30Hi, I am currently using a 2021 Ford EcoSport diesel and am now planning to buy a new car by exchanging my EcoSport.

I drive a 12-year old Chevrolet Sail diesel now. I really enjoy driving this car, particularly its MultiJet engine with a good mid-range torque. I value driving dynamics and pleasure of driving more than fuel efficiency and features. I prefer sedan over an SUV. My dad owns a 2022 Skoda Slavia 1.0 MT. I really like that car but in city driving, I've felt noticeable turbo lag at low speeds. Other than that, Slavia is a very good car. So I have shortlisted 2026 Slavia 1.5 TSI DSG. But only thing that I worry about is the reliability of a DSG with its dry clutch system, because I tend to keep the car for at least next 7-8 years. Also, I have doubts about its city driving manners. But I live in a tier-2 city and encounter stop and go traffic rarely. I hit the highways often though. So, will the Slavia 1.5 satisfy my needs coming from a good torquey diesel engine? Another SUV that I am interested is the Duster/Tekton, because I have heard that they are the closest to the German twins in driving pleasure and dynamics. Can I go with the Slavia 1.5 DSG or should I go with Duster/Tekton 1.3 DCT?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/Slavia/GT_07124.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-choose-the-kia-seltos-1-5-na-ivt-or-turbo-dct-for-city-and-hill-driving-503527Autocar Indiaen2026-10-05T11:30:33+05:30I am planning to buy the Kia Seltos but am confused between the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol and the turbo-petrol DCT. Around 80% of my driving will be in the city, with the remaining 20% being highway and hill-station trips. I will normally be travelling with five passengers. Which engine and gearbox would be better for my usage?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/Kia_Seltos_Front_Quarter_Static.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/is-the-2021-range-rover-evoque-2-0-petrol-e20-compatible-and-worth-buying-used-at-rs-40-lakh-503346Autocar Indiaen2026-10-05T10:40:04+05:30I’m considering buying a pre-owned 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque SE R-Dynamic with the 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol engine and AWD. It has covered only 15,000km, was manufactured and registered in 2021, and is a BS6 vehicle. The fuel flap says “Premium Gasoline Recommended, 91”. I want to confirm whether this generation and engine are compatible with E20 petrol. Also, should I buy it? I’m looking to enter the premium SUV segment with a budget of around Rs 40 lakh.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/Kia_Seltos_Front_Quarter_Tracking_2.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-tune-the-volkswagen-polo-1-2-mpi-for-more-power-and-use-an-independent-service-centre-503355Autocar Indiaen2026-10-05T10:00:03+05:30I bought a used 2017 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 MPI Highline Cup Edition from Spinny and really enjoy driving it. However, the engine feels underpowered while overtaking and on uphill stretches. I know the 1.2 MPI does not respond dramatically to tuning, but I have seen several videos on tuning MPI engines, and none clearly explain the exact power and torque gains. There are also mixed opinions online about different tuners. I am looking for a decent 10hp increase with minimal changes to the engine and definitely do not want pops and bangs. Could you suggest a good tuner in Bengaluru for the 1.2 MPI for this requirement? Also, is it always recommended to get a Volkswagen serviced at an authorised service centre, or are independent workshops a better option? Could you suggest some good service centres in Bengaluru for a Volkswagen Polo?https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-adas-features-be-optional-or-mandatory-in-top-spec-cars-for-indian-driving-conditions-503335Autocar Indiaen2026-10-05T09:35:03+05:30Every new car review emphasises the ADAS suite, justifying the hefty price tag of top-tier variants by highlighting how these features revolutionise safety. However, real-world driving conditions, especially on chaotic, high-density Indian city roads, often tell a different story. In bumper-to-bumper city traffic, features like Blind Spot Monitoring can become a constant audio-visual nuisance, leading to driver desensitisation. Even on highways, using Adaptive Cruise Control or Lane Keep Assist requires a massive leap of faith, while Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) risks triggering a rear-end collision if it misinterprets a tight gap and brakes abruptly. Given this friction between global tech and local infrastructure, I want to explore two perspectives: 1. The Consumer Choice Argument: Should carmakers force ADAS into expensive top-spec bundles, or should they offer these safety suites as a modular, standalone option so buyers don't pay for tech they immediately turn off? 2. The Systematic Evolution Argument: Is forcing this technology onto the market the right catalyst to eventually push Indian drivers, road infrastructure, and government regulations to mature into a safer, more standardised ecosystem?https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-vinfast-vf7-mahindra-be-6-or-xev-9e-for-reliable-ev-ownership-503136Autocar Indiaen2026-10-05T08:55:03+05:30I am planning to buy a VinFast VF7 with the 70.8kWh battery pack. However, after going through various online videos of users reporting serious issues such as paint chipping, suspension leaks, dashboard cracks and inefficient service support, I am having second thoughts. The trouble is that options such as the Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e also have user-reported issues, particularly around software. Is buying an EV in the Rs 25-30 lakh price range risky? If not, which would you choose between the VF7, BE 6 and XEV 9e? There will be three rear passengers.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/vinfast/vf7/DSC_7261.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-sub-4-metre-car-should-i-buy-with-strong-suspension-large-wheels-and-good-petrol-mileage-503407Autocar Indiaen2026-10-05T08:05:03+05:30I am looking for a sub-4-metre car with a strong suspension, 17-inch or larger wheels and good petrol mileage.
