My primary usage will be monthly trips to my hometown, covering around 800 km per trip, once or twice a month. Most of the time, the car will be used by two occupants. My budget is around Rs. 10 lakh, although I can stretch it by another Rs. 1 lakh if the additional value is justified. The cars currently on my shortlist are Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi, Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro, Honda Amaze VX and Tata Punch Adventure Turbo. My key priorities include good fuel efficiency, safety, comfort for long-distance travel as well as low maintenance and reliability as this will be my first car. Given my requirements and budget, which of these cars would you recommend? Also, if there are any better alternatives that I should consider, please let me know.

I have shortlisted the Kia Seltos because it has the wow factor, many features, and good build quality. After driving it, I didn't like the quality of the new Duster/Tekton. I have also eliminated Volkswagen/Skoda due to poor service in our area and their poor AC performance. The car will be chauffeur-driven and will run 5-8 km daily. I am not interested in EVs. I am also interested in second-hand luxury cars like the 2020 BMW X1 or Mercedes-Benz GLC. What would you suggest?

I'm having a tough time deciding between buying another diesel SUV or switching to an EV. Our usage pattern is quite different from most buyers. We drive around 50 km per week, almost entirely within the city. Highway trips are very rare, maybe once or twice a year. Because of this, I feel an EV makes more sense, and I absolutely love the smooth and quiet driving experience that electric cars offer. At the moment, I'm considering the Tata Nexon EV, Kia Syros EV (newly launched), and the Hyundai Creta Electric, especially the new BaaS option in the base variant. I'm leaning slightly towards Kia/Hyundai because they seem to have a better reputation for battery management, software, overall reliability, and after-sales service compared to Tata. If I decide to stay with diesel, the base model Kia Seltos Diesel would probably be my choice. However, I'm quite concerned about modern diesel systems, particularly DPF regeneration and DEF/AdBlue-related issues. Since our driving is mostly short city trips with very little highway usage, I'm worried that a diesel may not be the right fit in the long run. Given our usage pattern, what would you recommend: Kia Seltos Diesel, Tata Nexon EV, Kia Syros EV, or Hyundai Creta Electric? I'd especially appreciate feedback from owners who have experience with these cars in predominantly city driving. Thanks in advance!https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/syros-ev/Kia%20Syros%20EV%20Running%20Shot.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-upgrade-from-a-hyundai-venue-to-an-ev-or-petrol-car-455089Autocar Indiaen2026-07-28T15:05:00+05:30I have a 2021 Hyundai Venue (second base variant), and my daily running is around 45-50 km.

I plan to keep the car for 10-12 years, so reliability, comfort, refinement and low ownership costs matter more to me than outright performance. If all three had the same badge, I'd choose the Lexus. However, the BMW and especially the Mercedes have much stronger brand recognition in India, and my family feels that matters at this price point. The Mercedes is also around 20 lakh more expensive than the Lexus on-road. Given my priorities, would you still recommend the Lexus, or do the BMW/Mercedes offer enough additional ownership satisfaction over the long term to justify the higher price?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/mmv_images/colors/20250825034455_BMW_5_series_LWB_Phytonic_Blue_Metallic[1].jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-under-rs-9-lakh-is-a-good-upgrade-from-a-wagon-r-cng-for-high-daily-running-454987Autocar Indiaen2026-07-28T09:00:55+05:30My daily running is 70km.

Please suggest the top three recommendations under Rs 12 lakh, automatic, and comfortable for a family of five. I previously owned a Fiat Punto Dynamic Diesel. I used it daily for around 70km, plus one outstation trip every month. Now I've relocated to Pune, and my running has reduced substantially to under 500km per month, with occasional trips. My requirements are: Budget: Rs 10-12 lakh on-road (slightly flexible). Type: Automatic family car, comfortable for five adults. Priorities: Value for money, low running and maintenance costs, safety, features, good boot space, reliability, and hassle-free long-term ownership. Given my reduced usage, I'm open to petrol, EV, or CNG as well. Please suggest the best options that would suit my requirements. Looking forward to your guidance.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Brezza/2026_Maruti_Brezza_Front_Quarter_Tracking.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-maruti-jimny-or-wait-for-the-mahindra-vision-s-454810Autocar Indiaen2026-07-27T08:24:10+05:30Hi, I am planning to purchase a Jimny this year. I love to travel to the mountains and visit offbeat locations. I am from Uttarakhand. Also, I have really liked the Mahindra Vision S in the spy shots. Will the Vision S be available with 4x4? Should I wait for it or go with the Jimny? Thank you.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/Galleries/20180705042330_Jimny-Sierra-front-off-road.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-long-termer/mg-windsor-long-term-review-15000km-report-440493Autocar Indiaen2026-07-27T08:00:00+05:30MG Windsor long-term review, 15,000km reporthttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260724_110108_c672b33d.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/8-things-to-know-before-buying-the-tvs-jupiter-125-440850Autocar Indiaen2026-07-27T07:00:00+05:308 things to know before buying the TVS Jupiter 125https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/TVS/Jupiter-125/_DSC8203.JPG
