https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-seven-seater-car-should-i-buy-under-15-lakh-503934Autocar Indiaen2026-10-15T22:00:04+05:30Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to buy a seven-seater car. I have test-driven the Renault Triber Turbo and Citroen Aircross X and was impressed by what both offer at their price points. However, the Aircross put a wide smile on my face. As a current Maruti Suzuki user, I did not consider the Ertiga because it feels similar to our Swift. I liked the Aircross X but am sceptical about Citroen's service network and spare parts availability. However, there are three Citroen showrooms within 45 km of my place. Please suggest which car I should choose. My budget: Rs. 15 lakh Current vehicle: Second-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift petrol (2017) Annual usage: Around 10,000 km, with a 50:30:20 split between town, highway and city driving Requirement: A seven-seater carhttps://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/citroen/Aircross/500_7012.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-hyundai-venue-turbo-or-na-petrol-503906Autocar Indiaen2026-10-15T21:30:05+05:30I’ve almost finalised the Hyundai Venue based on its interiors, space, features, and overall looks. However, I’m confused between the 1.0 Turbo MT and 1.2 NA MT. I live in a town where bumper-to-bumper traffic is very rare. We might encounter traffic occasionally when travelling to bigger cities, but we only go on long trips a few times a year. Considering my usage, which engine would be the better choice? 1. What is the real-world mileage difference between the 1.0 Turbo and 1.2 NA? 2. Is the turbo engine significantly more expensive to maintain in the long run? 3. Is the 1.2 NA engine sufficient for a family on highways, especially during overtaking and when driving with a full load? 4. Considering long-term reliability, running costs, and occasional highway trips, is it worth choosing the turbo, or would the 1.2 NA be a more sensible option? I’m really confused between these two variants. Please share your real-world mileage and long-term ownership experience. Your suggestions would really help me make a final decision. Thanks in advance!https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Venue/DSC_8645.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-7-seater-should-i-buy-hycross-or-alcazar-503915Autocar Indiaen2026-10-15T21:00:04+05:30Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to buy a seven-seater and am confused between the Toyota Innova Hycross and Hyundai Alcazar. I like almost everything about the Alcazar, but my only concern is the long-term durability of its DCT. As for the Hycross, my budget only allows me to consider the GX variant, which lacks many features. Kindly advise me on which one I should choose. My driving style is simple and non-aggressive. I drive around 8-10 km daily in the NCR region, with occasional family highway trips of up to 500 km. My average monthly running is around 1,200 km.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/bike-news/bmw-f-450-rr-sportbike-revealed-441054Autocar Indiaen2026-10-15T20:49:07+05:30BMW F 450 RR Sportbike revealedhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20261015_151511_bdc96433.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-ev-should-i-buy-to-replace-my-honda-city-diesel-503896Autocar Indiaen2026-10-15T20:30:05+05:30Hi Autocar Team, I am currently driving a 2014 Honda City diesel and am looking to replace it with an EV.

I am a first time owner and comfortable with a budget of Rs. 10.50 lakh (on-road). I have compared it across segments like Dzire VXi AGS, Honda Amaze V CVT, Skoda Kylaq Classic Plus Automatic and Fronx Delta Plus AGS. I want to buy it for my 65 year old mother as well as for my daily commute to office in Pune traffic. I prefer an automatic and safe car with highly comfortable back seat, but the variants should have most of the essential features such as seat height adjustment, rear AC vents. The car should be low maintenance and offer hassle free service experience. I want a car that delivers decent mileage and no sunroof would be great. I would like to keep the car for the next 5 to 7 years without any issues (possibly for 10 years). I want it to be compliant with future ethanol blends such as E25 or E27 and that is why Brezza NA VXi TC came into my mind and it is available for Rs. 12.50 lakh. My monthly running would be around 600 to 800km. Which car makes sense for me considering my driving would include 72% running in the city and 28% on highway. I am planning to get Brezza VXi NA Manual at Rs. 10.50 lakh but I would like your opinion.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Dzire/500_8916.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/scoop-jeep-gladiator-india-launch-under-consideration-441053Autocar Indiaen2026-10-15T18:29:05+05:30SCOOP!

Which one should I buy? My driving will be a mix of city and highway use, with a total monthly running of around 1,500 km.

I am confused between Tata Altroz Pure CNG AMT quoted for Rs. 9.41 lakh (on-road price) and Tata Altroz Creative CNG Manual of which I am waiting for the final quotation. My budget is Rs. 10.5 lakh. I have been driving manual cars for the last 10 years, and my running is mostly in the Mumbai city traffic and production-location travel. I want a CNG car with good features, safety, comfort and long-term value for money. I am considering spending around Rs. 50,000 extra on the automatic gearbox versus choosing the Creative manual for its additional factory-fitted features. Which variant would you recommend for my usage, and why? I would really appreciate your honest advice before finalising the purchase. Thank you.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/Galleries/20250522033443_New_Tata_Altroz_Front_Quarter_Static.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/3-reasons-to-buy-the-new-audi-q3-2-reasons-not-to-441171Autocar Indiaen2026-10-13T08:00:05+05:303 reasons to buy the new Audi Q3, 2 reasons not tohttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20261012_145248_41f88098.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-car-to-buy-tata-safari-vs-mahindra-xuv-7xo-diesel-automatic-503774Autocar Indiaen2026-10-13T08:00:04+05:30Hi, kindly advise me on choosing between the Tata Safari and the Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel automatic.
