Trending Questions on Tata Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I currently drive a Baleno and want to upgrade to a safer, more comfortable car. My budget is around ₹30 lakh. I need low maintenance and excellent ride quality. Monthly running is about 1,800 km (mostly city) with 1–2 long drives a year. I’m open to EVs - I test-drove the Harrier EV and liked it, but I’m concerned about body roll and Tata-related issues. Which cars offer comfort and suspension at par with or better than the Harrier EV?
Since you are open to buying an EV, the Mahindra XEV 9e is a good option to consider. Ride comfort at low speeds isn't quite as good as the Harrier EV, but the Mahindra car does feel more composed at higher speeds. You can also read: Tata Harrier EV vs Mahindra XEV 9e road test comparison
Mahindra will also launch the XEV 9S on November 27. The XEV 9S has a more conventional SUV shape and comes with the flexibility of a third row of seats, in case that matters to you.
I want to buy the Celerio LXi instead of the Alto K10 VXi. Is it a better option? Which car is more stable on the highway? How about body roll and NVH levels in both?
Within the same budget, you could also consider the Tata Tiago in XE trim, which feels tougher in its build and drives with more heft than the Maruti Suzuki options.
I'm looking to buy a C-segment SUV (like the Creta or Seltos). My running is low (~7,500 km/yr) but may rise if I switch jobs. I want a reliable, safe vehicle that I won’t need to upgrade soon. Driving is ~75% city, with a highway trip once every two months. My budget is ₹15 lakh max on-road. I’m waiting for the Seltos and Sierra, but plan to buy in about six months - which car should I choose?"
We are not in a position to give you a definitive answer just yet. Prices for the Tata Sierra will only be out on the 25th of November, and we have yet to drive the model. Do stay tuned to our website and YouTube channel for the review that goes up in the coming days.
As for the Seltos, Kia will showcase the new generation model on December 10. We expect sales to start by the first quarter of 2026.
Among the current lot of SUVs on offer, the mild hybrid versions of the Toyota Hyryder and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara are good options that are reliable and low on maintenance. The Hyundai Creta is also a good choice, but it is slightly pricier to maintain than the Toyota and Maruti cars.
Hi, I have had a Ford Ecosport 1.5l petrol for 12 years and have been waiting to change it for the last 4-5 years to one step higher segment, but I have yet to find a better replacement. Basically, I am looking for a 5-seater (which can actually seat 5 adults) Petrol or Diesel car/SUV, with good road presence and minimum body roll. I drive 50 km a day in Bengaluru and go outstation once every six months. I have shortlisted Scorpio, Harrier, XUV700, Slavia, and the upcoming Seirra. I can wait for 3 months max. What do you recommend?
Hi Autocar team, need your expert suggestion. I have a 5-year-old petrol Nexon Automatic (XZA+). I'm fed up with the regular mechanical faults (one or another) and am now looking to change my car to another automatic. My preferences are safety, low maintenance, reliability, fuel economy, good interior, and comfort . I have a stretched budget of 12-13 lakhs for the automatic gearbox. Which car should I buy?
My budget is ₹11 lakh on-road in Delhi. I need a reliable petrol car for long-term use, suitable for highways and hilly terrain. It should seat five adults comfortably, have good boot space, low NVH levels, and feel solid and robust. I’d prefer the engine to stay under 2,500 rpm at 100–110 kmph. I’m open to hatchbacks or sub-compact SUVs. Please advise.
Hello, I have owned a Nexa XL6 for the past five years, and it has been very comfortable. Now it’s time to change the car. I’m looking for a 7-seater and have shortlisted the Scorpio N, XUV700, and Tata Safari. Please share your expert recommendation. Thanks.
I am a first-time buyer. My daily commute is 80 km per day from Faridabad to Gurugram. I want to buy a CNG car. Between the Altroz and Exter, which one is better in terms of average and maintenance?
My budget for new car is 12-13 lakhs and I prefer smooth Automatic with daily 20 km running mostly in cities and occasionally Highway and Rural. Pls suggest value for money, low maintenance cost and fuel efficient car.
Since your usage is mainly in the city, with occasional highway and rural drives, a small SUV would suit you well. Your options include the Tata Punch, Hyundai Exter and Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
The Tata cars stand out for their tough build and well-balanced ride, and handling. This becomes especially noticeable on the highways.
The Hyundai Exter, on the other hand, has lighter controls and a smoother AMT compared to the Punch. This makes it feel more at home in the city
The Maruti Fronx sits somewhere in the middle. It has the highest claimed fuel efficiency (22.89kpl for the 1.2 AMT). Plus, Maruti cars are typically the easiest to maintain and live with.
I currently own a 4x4 Thar petrol AT. I’m confused between the Thar Roxx and the Tata Sierra. The Sierra looks premium, but the Thar’s ruggedness gives me peace of mind in traffic, water-logging, and bad roads. The Sierra has many screens and touch panels, and I’m unsure how they will age over time. Which one should I pick?
