My budget is around ₹25 lakh, and I am looking for a proper 5-seater that will mainly be used for city driving of around 15-20 km daily, along with occasional road trips. For the past six years, I have been driving Tesla models - first the Model 3 and later the Model Y - so I would ideally like to continue using an EV in India as well. However, I am still unsure about the practicality of the charging infrastructure here. I will be staying in a rented apartment near Outer Ring Road, Bellandur, Bengaluru. I have been informed that the residential community, which has around 2,000 apartments, currently has about 6-8 charging points, and the connected mall also has a few additional chargers. Could you please advise: Whether owning an EV as the only car in Bengaluru currently makes practical sense How reliable is the charging infrastructure in Bengaluru and across India for road trips Which EVs around ₹25 lakh would best suit my requirements in terms of comfort, technology, driving experience, reliability, range, and overall ownership experience Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/Creta-Electric/500_5082.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/best-automatic-first-car-under-8-lakh-with-strong-safety-features-448376Autocar Indiaen2026-05-26T13:30:00+05:30I am planning to buy my first car with a budget of around ₹7-8 lakh.

I am now planning to replace it and am seriously considering the upcoming Renault Duster Hybrid expected around the Diwali launch period. I am essentially looking for a car that offers a strong balance of driving pleasure, safety, comfort, good looks, and sensible fuel efficiency. Would the new 1.8L Renault Duster Hybrid be the right choice for my requirements, or should I also consider other options in the ₹20-30 lakh price bracket that offer a similar experience?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Renault/duster/500_5518.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/industry/petrol-and-diesel-prices-hiked-by-nearly-rs-3litre-again-439803Autocar Indiaen2026-05-25T11:18:35+05:30Petrol and diesel prices hiked by nearly Rs 3 per litre againhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260525_054634_37e5be1b.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-honda-amaze-cvt-variant-should-i-buy-vx-or-zx-and-is-adas-useful-in-daily-driving-448260Autocar Indiaen2026-05-25T10:40:00+05:30I want to buy the Honda Amaze CVT.

Which variant of Honda Amaze CVT should I get, VX or ZX? Can the adaptive cruise control on the ZX CVT be switched to normal (non-adaptive) cruise control mode? If not, will the ADAS and adaptive cruise control work during night time and in low-visibility areas?

I wanted to buy a new adventure motorcycle. I had booked the Honda NX500 in February 2026, anticipating that its price would come down based on the expected pricing of the BMW F450 GS. However, since Honda is now bringing the CBU instead of a CKD, its price has increased. I do not see much value in paying nearly the same amount in taxes (around 40% import duty and 40% GST) as the actual price of the bike. Besides that, a few twin-cylinder adventure bikes are expected to launch later this year. However, proper ownership reviews for those bikes will likely take at least six months after their on-road availability. So, for now, I am considering buying the KTM Adventure 390, which has now reduced its engine capacity to 350cc to reduce the tax burden to 18%. Once the newer twin-cylinder bikes arrive and their reviews become available, I can make a more informed decision about whether to switch. Do you think this is the right decision, should I consider something else, or should I still go ahead with the Honda NX500?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/RoyalEnfield/Himalayan/500_2700.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/safe-and-comfortable-family-car-under-12-lakh-for-low-city-use-447900Autocar Indiaen2026-05-24T08:30:02+05:30I’m planning to buy my first car with a budget of around Rs. 10-12 lakh.

Should I go for a 5-seater SUV or a 7-seater car? My preference is for a petrol automatic car with good safety and fuel efficiency. The car will mainly be used for city driving with 2-3 people, along with occasional full-load highway trips. I have shortlisted 5-seater options including: * Tata Sierra Pure Petrol - feels underpowered * Kia Seltos - concerned about its length for city driving * Renault Duster - good car, but concerned about rear-seat space * Skoda Kushaq - like it a lot, but rear-seat space is a concern 7-seater options that I have shortlisted: * Tata Safari - like it for safety and mileage, but it is out of budget * Mahindra XUV 7X0 - low fuel efficiency and slightly out of budget * Kia Clavis - concerned about safety * Maruti XL6 - good mileage but safety is a concern My budget is Rs. 15-17 lakh for a 5-seater and can stretch up to Rs. 20 lakh for a 7-seater.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/carens-clavis/_AAB0258.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-reviews/maserati-granturismo-trofeo-review-italian-six-appeal-440425Autocar Indiaen2026-05-24T08:00:00+05:30Maserati GranTurismo Trofeo review: Italian six appealhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/reviews/images/20260522_123014_85a4040c.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-features/autocar-track-day-indias-best-riding-bikes-2026-440565Autocar Indiaen2026-05-24T07:00:00+05:30Autocar Track Day: India's Best Riding Bikes 2026https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/features/images/20260522_061604_5457b156.jpg
