Currently, I own three vehicles: a 2012 Innova, a 2.5-year-old Mahindra XUV700, and a Windsor Pro. I previously owned a Toyota Hyryder NEO, which I found to be significantly lacking in comfort which prompted me to sell it. At this stage, I am evaluating whether to invest in an electric vehicle (EV) or a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. Given my primary usage pattern which is approximately 90% highway driving (90% of which is confined within the state of Telangana). I would greatly appreciate your recommendation for this specific use case. Your insights on the suitability of EV versus ICE options for long-distance, highway-centric travel in a regional context would be invaluable while making this important decision. Thank you for your time and expertise. I look forward to your advice.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/MG/windsor/Z62_0191.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/mahindra-xuv-7x0-base-diesel-variant-as-upgrade-from-hyundai-creta-diesel-450032Autocar Indiaen2026-06-20T20:00:00+05:30I have been using a Hyundai Creta Diesel since 2017 and have driven it for almost 2 lakh km.

My budget is between Rs. 15 and 20 lakh (on-road) for tier-2 city with monthly running of around 500 km and annual running of around 8,000 km. I take long trips of 400 to 600 km once every 2 months. I have a family of 4 including my wife and two kids. Occasionally, my parents or in-laws travel with us, so a 7-seater is preferred. I have shortlisted Kia Carens Clavis HTK+ Diesel Manual, Maruti Ertiga ZXi Petrol Automatic and Maruti Victoris VXi Petrol Automatic . I am confused about diesel car due to my relatively low annual running (~8,000 km). Will DPF issues become a major concern and whether I should go for automatic or manual, considering my age and occasional knee discomfort due to which I am interested in an automatic car. Will choosing an automatic over a diesel manual worth my money? I have another confusion between Ertiga and Invicto in terms of better long-term choice for my usage. Another concern is regarding the safety of Ertiga. Has Maruti made any improvements to its body structure or safety over the years? Its 1-star Global NCAP rating is a concern. Also, what real-world Ertiga automatic mileage can I expect in city and highway driving? Many owners have mentioned that Carens petrol has poor mileage. Is it really that bad in real-world conditions? Also, should I be worried about E20/E30 fuel compatibility and long-term ownership? I am not interested in buying an EV at the moment.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/carens-clavis/_AAB0258.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/ev-under-15-lakh-for-500-to-1000-km-monthly-driving-450113Autocar Indiaen2026-06-20T18:00:35+05:30I am looking to buy an EV.

My budget is up to Rs. 12 lakh, although I can stretch it by around Rs. 1 lakh if needed. I drive approximately 400 km per month and take occasional outstation trips, usually once or twice a year. I am open to recommendations across all vehicle segments, but I am not particularly fond of large vehicles because of traffic and parking challenges in Bengaluru. One thing I really enjoy about the Datsun GO is its peppy engine, and I would love a car that offers a similarly engaging driving experience. I can also postpone my purchase by about a year if there is an upcoming model that would be worth waiting for, such as the Hyundai Bayon. Considering my requirements, which cars would you recommend?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kylaq/Skoda%20Kylaq_2_OP709803.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-go-for-flex-fuel-car-vs-ev-vs-petrol-diesel-car-in-india-due-to-changing-fuel-landscape-450140Autocar Indiaen2026-06-19T20:05:01+05:30Right now, we seem to be on the verge of a major green mobility revolution in the Indian automotive industry. The Government of India has announced and started making E85 petrol available at select fuel stations. However, if the recent Iran-US peace deal and stability in the Strait of Hormuz are sustained, crude oil prices could potentially fall back to pre-conflict levels. Given such a scenario, should a new car buyer opt for a flex-fuel vehicle, an EV, or a conventional petrol/diesel vehicle from their preferred brand?https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260318_122057_5ec01926.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-wait-for-the-sierra-ev-450130Autocar Indiaen2026-06-19T19:30:00+05:30Good morning.

However, with the government's increasing focus on higher ethanol fuel blends, I'm confused about whether buying a petrol-powered two-wheeler right now is the right decision. My usage is around 50plus km of daily commuting, along with occasional long trips. I plan to keep the vehicle for the long term and need good fuel efficiency, which is why the Hero Destini 125 appeals to me. Should I go ahead with the Destini, wait for more clarity on future fuel norms, or consider switching to an EV? I'm still hesitant about EVs because the technology is evolving, and the charging infrastructure will likely take more time to mature.

My heart says the BYD Sealion 7 would be the ideal replacement or upgrade for the Superb because of its build quality, premium cabin, and overall feel.

I have been driving an i20 diesel for the last 8 years, and it has covered 1.15 lakh km. The car has been maintained well. I recently moved to Bengaluru, and the urge to upgrade has come up. I looked at the Skoda Kylaq and even booked the Signature Plus Automatic, with my i20 valued at Rs. 4.6 lakh in exchange. However, after a test drive, my family now wants me to buy the Slavia 1.0 Automatic instead. I am also concerned about the ethanol-blending issue. Should I go ahead with the purchase or continue using the i20 for a few more years?
