Trending Questions on Tata Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I want to buy a 7-seater, with safety as my main priority. I have shortlisted two options: the XUV700 and the Tata Safari. Any advice would be helpful. My major trips will be long drives to my hometown, which is around 600 km away, about four times a year.
I am planning to buy a Tata Nexon automatic. My usage is mostly city travel with occasional outstation trips, roughly 500-600 km per month. What would you suggest, petrol with DCT transmission or diesel with AMT? Kindly suggest. Thanks.
I want a sub-4-metre car with rear-seat comfort for three adults. Should I go for a used car or a new one? My budget is ₹11 lakh.
The Dzire, Brezza, Nexon, and XUV3XO are all sub-4-metre options that are reasonably comfortable for three adults at the rear. If you're fine with its relatively utilitarian approach, the Mahindra Bolero Neo is also wide enough for three adults at the back. Besides these, there aren't any other sub-4-metre used cars that are more comfortable.
Which car should I buy in the ₹10-12 lakh price bracket, especially for daily city commuting of 10–15 km using CNG?
Given your requirements, you should consider the Maruti Suzuki Swift, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Tata Tiago hatchbacks, all of which get CNG options. However, the i10 Nios and Tiago offer a properly usable boot as the CNG tanks are placed under the boot, unlike the Swift. Furthermore, the Tata can also be had with an AMT automatic gearbox which will be more convenient for you on your daily city commute.
I am upgrading from a 2017 Tata Tigor XT petrol manual and am considering the Honda Elevate VX CVT because I like its road presence and reliability. Is this a good choice, or are there other suggestions?
The Honda Elevate VX CVT is certainly a good upgrade over your Tata Tigor. It is priced well, has a good road presence, and, being a Honda, it is also reliable.
Alternatively, you could consider the Hyundai Creta, which is more feature-rich and comes with a smoother CVT compared to the Elevate. Another option is the new Maruti Suzuki Victoris, which is more fuel-efficient and comes with a conventional 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
I am not satisfied with the Exter. Please suggest an alternative in the same range and category.
If the Exter doesn’t meet your expectations, there are several alternatives in the same compact SUV segment. The most obvious is the Tata Punch, currently the most popular in its category. It offers a solid build, excellent ride quality, and confident handling, though its 1.2-litre engine feels a bit underpowered and fuel efficiency is slightly below some rivals.
Other strong contenders are the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger, both recently facelifted. They strike a good balance of space, comfort, performance, and style, making them practical and appealing alternatives to the Exter.
Hi, I'm planning to buy a new car and am confused between the Mahindra XUV 3XO, Tata Nexon, and Hyundai Venue. I drive approximately 25 km daily in the city. I've been using a Hyundai i10 so far and have had a positive experience with Hyundai. Could you please help me decide which car would be the best fit for my needs?
If you are not in a hurry, we’d suggest waiting for the new-gen Hyundai Venue launching in the coming months. It promises more tech and space than the current model, making it worth considering. Between the Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV 3X0, the Mahindra is the better product, offering superior performance and more cabin space.
I am currently planning to buy an EV as I drive around 100+ km daily. However, I am relocating to a new apartment and do not have a home charging setup yet; this will take another 6 to 8 months. Is it wise to buy an EV now? I do have access to several fast-charging stations nearby. I have two questions: Will frequent use of fast charging over the next 6 to 8 months affect my EV’s battery life? And, given my situation, is it worth considering an EV now or should I wait?
In an ideal scenario, wait until you can arrange home charging. While fast chargers may be nearby, they might not always be available when convenient, and charger issues are not uncommon. We’d recommend using fast chargers as a backup rather than your primary charging source.
Frequent fast charging isn’t ideal, but if it’s your only option, a good precaution is to charge only up to 80% SOC.
I'm looking to purchase an electric vehicle as I travel approximately 500 km per week. My priorities are safety, driving pleasure, and economy. My budget is around ₹15 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
Options for you include the Tata Nexon EV and MG Windsor EV. We’d recommend the Windsor EV, which is pleasant to drive and offers sufficient range for your needs. You can get the base Windsor within your budget, and it comes with enough features to make it a great value for the money.
I'm considering the Tata Altroz and am unsure whether to opt for the Creative variant in petrol or diesel, as both are similarly priced. My driving is primarily highway-based for family getaways, and I have heard that the Altroz petrol engine is dull. Would the diesel variant offer better power and fuel efficiency for these long-distance drives?
The Altroz diesel delivers noticeably stronger performance, with higher torque that makes the driving experience far more engaging compared to the petrol variant. It also offers better fuel efficiency, making the diesel version the smarter choice, especially for highway driving.
