My usage will mainly be office commute in Navi Mumbai, around 900-1200 km per month, and city driving. So good mileage and ease of driving in traffic are important, but at the same time, I don’t want the car to feel underpowered or sluggish.

I am 60, so ease of driving and parking is important. We are considering the Grand Vitara / e-Vitara and the new Seltos, but I am concerned that the Seltos may feel too large for city use (wider body and larger ORVMs). Would it be difficult to manoeuvre and park? Alternatively, would you suggest waiting for the Sierra EV or BYD Atto 2, or are they also likely to be similarly large? I find the Creta and Hyryder well balanced for narrow roads and easy driving (due to their relatively smaller ORVMs).

I found the riding posture of the CB350RS and Guerrilla 450 a bit too aggressive for my comfort. I really liked both the Hness CB350 and Meteor 350, but I am personally more inclined towards the X440 because of its handling and engine feel. However, I am confused between the S and T variants of the X440. The T variant offers ride-by-wire and has a cleaner look, but I am concerned about the bar-end mirrors and some plastic parts at the rear. In Indian parking conditions, bar-end mirrors seem prone to damage and could be expensive to replace, and I have been told there is no option to switch to conventional mirrors. Given that my usage will mostly be city riding (15–20 km daily) with occasional highway trips, does ride-by-wire make a significant difference in real-world usage over time? Is it worth choosing the T variant despite these concerns, or would the S variant be a more practical choice?https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20250926_125040_baa3276f.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-7-seater-is-suitable-for-long-term-ownership-and-highway-driving-up-to-25-lakh-is-hycross-the-right-choice-446215Autocar Indiaen2026-04-22T12:30:00+05:30Hi Autocar, I want to buy a 7-seater car that is low-cost, low-maintenance, and suitable for long-term ownership.
