Trending Questions on Toyota Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I have a budget of around โน10 lakh and drive about 700 km per month, plus two return trips a year of about 1,200 km each. I currently own a 2012 Honda Brio and have test-driven the Mahindra 3XO, Kia Sonet, Maruti Baleno, Maruti Fronx, and Toyota Taisor. Iโm inclined toward the Taisor โ which of these would you recommend for mileage, comfort, and safety?
If you like the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor then you should definitely go for it as it's a well-sorted car.
The Taisor has a spacious and comfy cabin, and it comes with 6 airbags as standard. The 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is frugal too. Toyota Taisor mileage with the manual gearbox is 21.71kpl and a higher 22.79kpl with the AMT automatic (claimed).
I want to buy a seven-seater car in the โน50-60 lakh budget range, with good mileage and power. Should I opt for the Fortuner or consider some other car?
While the Toyota Fortuner has strong road presence and a powerful image, it does not offer a premium and sophisticated experience that is expected of the price.
The Skoda Kodiaq would be a better choice as it has the right level of premiumness and performance, and is a lot more comfortable than the Fortuner. Mileage numbers will be similar for both SUVs, but the diesel engine in the Fortuner would be a bit easier on the pocket.
Our recommendation would be the Skoda Kodiaq as it offers better value and is a better product overall.
I plan to upgrade my car. My monthly running is around 1,000โ1,500 km. Iโve shortlisted the Innova HyCross (petrol, non-hybrid) and the Mahindra XUV700 (petrol). Which one should I buy? My budget is up to โน25 lakh.
The Mahindra XUV700 would be a better choice in this comparison. The Toyota car, while more spacious, is quite thirsty in its non-hybrid guise, with an efficiency of around 7kpl in the city and around 9kpl on the highway.
Considering your monthly running, a petrol SUV would be the right choice and here, the XUV700 is the better product. It has better features than the Toyota Innova HyCross. The ride and handling are nicer, and the engine performs a lot better, too. It is the better overall package and our recommendation.
I want to buy a new SUV that offers the fuel efficiency and ownership experience of a hybrid like the Hyryder, the safety and road presence of the Scorpio N, and the comfort of a 6-seater automatic petrol like the XUV700. I also want to keep this new car for around 10-12 years. Please suggest a model that can meet most of these requirements.
My monthly driving will be around 1,000 km, and I will be doing 2 to 3 highway trips a year. I am looking for a car between Rs 15 to 17 lakh. I have test-driven the hybrid versions of the Hyryder and Victoris and liked both. Now I am in a dilemma about which one to purchase. The Hyryder is a tried and tested product, whereas the Victoris is entirely new in the market. Kindly help. My main priorities are fuel efficiency and safety.
I am confused between the Innova HyCross Hybrid and the Mahindra XUV700. Which is better? I want comfortable driving, good features, economical running, good mileage and ride quality. I also need third-row comfort and decent luggage space. Kindly assist.
Hi, I am a proud owner of a Tata Aria for the last 15 years, and now I am looking to give it a final rest. I am considering the Safari, HyCross, and XUV700. As per your suggestion, which one would suit me best? My budget is between Rs 30 lakh to Rs 35 lakh.
The Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV700 are tough SUVs, and while both are well-equipped, the Tata car is more comfortable than the Mahindra car for passengers seated in the third row. Meanwhile, the XUV700 is a lot smoother and more refined than the Tata Safari. If you are picking between these two, we'd suggest waiting for the heavily updated XUV700, expected in the first quarter of 2026.
I already own an 8-year-old Mercedes-Benz GLE diesel and an 11-year-old Alto as a beater car. I have a Rs 30 lakh budget for a new car. I am inclined towards an EV as well as the Innova HyCross. The Sierra was my childhood dream, but the EV variant may take time. My monthly travel is around 2,000 km, out of which 800 km is in the city. I want to retain the Benz for another three years. I may use this car primarily for city use as well as long-distance travel, which can be around a 1,200 km round trip once a month. Kindly suggest a suitable car.
Alternatively, the Toyota Innova HyCross isn't as exciting as the new-age Mahindra EVs; however, it is a proven product known for its space, comfort and the hybrid's impressive fuel efficiency. It is one of those cars you just can't go wrong with.
My parents (both 62) want to replace their old Spark with a new car. Requirements: automatic transmission, high ground clearance, good mileage, a refined engine, and reliable service. Theyโve shortlisted the Tata Exter (4-cyl) and Tata Punch (3-cyl). Their concerns are the Punchโs 3-cylinder engine and service, and the Exterโs lack of body-safety ratings. They prefer a compact, easy-to-handle car (not bulky). Budget is under โน10 lakh on-road. Any other recommendations?
As you've mentioned, the Hyundai Exter is the smoother and more refined car of the two, thanks to its four-cylinder petrol engine.
Its transmission is also relatively more seamless, and overall, Hyundai cars have a better reputation for their sales and support network too.
Other options you could shortlist are the Maruti Fronx or Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor 1.2 petrol AMT.
I have gone through your review of the MG M9. Is there a petrol or hybrid option available in that price range for a seven-seater?
