I am planning to keep the car for 10+ years. Budget: ₹12 lakh (can stretch to ₹13 lakh if it’s truly worth it). My question is: Which of these would be the best fit for my usage? Is it worth stretching for the Seltos base model over the other two? Are there better alternatives in this budget that I should consider? Would really appreciate your suggestions.

However, today the official ARAI mileage figures were released, and they show that the DCT has higher mileage than the IVT. How is that possible? The showroom salesperson had told me that the IVT would give around 11kpl in city driving, while the DCT would give around 6-7kpl. My usage is 95% city driving, with around 15 km daily running, so I do not really need the extra power. My question is: should I switch my booking to the DCT variant if the test results are so good? I do not mind spending ₹70-80k more for those 5% drives on the highways if the city mileage is similar. If real-world mileage is the same, I would prefer the DCT. I am not sure how to interpret these mileage numbers, so I would appreciate your guidance.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0280.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-automatic-car-to-buy-under-6-5-lakh-as-a-first-time-driver-446371Autocar Indiaen2026-04-24T10:00:00+05:30I am 35 years old and do not know how to drive a car yet.

For context, I currently own a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga (petrol + CNG), which is almost 10 years old and has been driven only around 50,000 km. My usage is quite low. The office is about 13 km away (around 30 km round trip), but I often use public transport. I mainly use the car on weekends, roughly 2-3 times a week, and my monthly running is around 400-450km. My priorities for the new car are: strong road presence and mass appeal, comfortable and premium interior, good reliability, reasonable service and maintenance costs (I am used to Maruti-level affordability), suitable for family trips. Given my low usage and requirements, would the XUV7X0 petrol automatic be a good choice, or should I consider other options?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/DSC_8898.JPGhttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/between-scorpio-n-xuv700-roxx-and-hector-which-suv-is-best-for-bad-roads-and-daily-long-driving-446293Autocar Indiaen2026-04-24T08:30:00+05:30I’m planning to buy a new car and need expert advice. I drive 50+ km daily, but I also frequently visit construction sites, quarries, and crusher areas with rough, muddy roads. Looking for an all-rounder that is comfortable for daily long drives and durable for bad roads. Considering options like Scorpio N, XUV700, Thar Roxx, and Hector. Which car would suit this kind of usage best? Should I prioritise diesel or 4x4?

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).
