16 Tata cars in India
FAQs
Trending Questions on Tata Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I want to buy a new automatic car within an on-road budget of ā¹12ā14 lakh. My monthly running is around 200 km in heavy city traffic, with only a couple of highway trips each year. I prefer a car with good interiors, reliable service support, and features like a 360Ā° camera. Which models should I consider?
The Nissan Magnite Turbo CVT and Tata Altroz 1.2 petrol DCT, both get excellent, smooth automatic transmissions, as well as a 360-degree camera.
Between the two, the Tata car gets our vote for its spaciousness, value, and overall robust build. The Toyota Taisor Turbo AT and Maruti Fronx Turbo AT with the 360-degree camera will be relatively pricier.
However, these brands have a better reputation for service and maintenance.
My monthly running is around 1,600 km, and Iām torn between getting a Victoris CNG or a Tata Nexon EV. Which one is a better buy considering running cost, maintenance, and long-term value?
Choosing between a CNG and an EV is largely dependent on your driving environment. If you are driving predominantly in the city, an EV would be a lot more affordable and convenient.
However, if your driving includes highways and out-of-station trips, an EV presents several challenges, such as charging time, waiting, and uncertainty about charger functionality.
A CNG would be a better buy if you frequently drive out of the city, where chargers are not frequent. If so, the Tata Nexon CNG would be a better option.
While the Maruti Victoris is larger in size, the Nexon has more features and equipment for a lesser price. The dual-cylinder design on the Nexon results in just as much boot space as the Victoris, and the CNG tank capacity is more too.
What also helps the Nexon is the more powerful engine, a 6-speed manual gearbox and a better-equipped cabin with panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, a larger touchscreen and better audio.
The Fearless Plus variant will offer a well-rounded package
I want to purchase a new car with a budget of around ā¹40 lakh to upgrade from my 2020 S-Cross petrol. It should be an EV with AWD. I am interested in the E Vitara AWD if it launches this year. Otherwise, among the Sierra EV AWD, VF7 AWD and Harrier EV AWD, which would you recommend?
I'm looking to buy an SUV (petrol or diesel) with strong road presence, good fuel mileage, and low maintenance. My budget is around ā¹25 lakh. I'm also open to a quality used model (post-2023) with under 20,000 km. Can you recommend options?
The Mahindra XUV700 is a reliable and well-packaged SUV that is strong on road presence, has a good amount of equipment and a strong set of powertrains. Both, the petrol and diesel engines are strong, and while the diesel is more efficient, check if your annual mileage is above 15-20,000km. The Tata Harrier/Safari have a stronger road presence but are not as reliable or efficient as the Mahindra.
Should I choose a diesel or petrol engine if I select an SUV like the XUV700 or Safari automatic?
I want to buy a manual petrol car up to Rs 8 lakh. I am confused between the Tata Punch Adventure Plus and the Skoda Kylaq base model. My monthly running is around 100 km. Which one is a better value for money?
My daily running is 300 km. I want to know if shifting to an EV is a good idea or if I should continue with an ICE vehicle.
For women of good height, with a budget of ā¹3-6 lakh, which car is most suitable for road trips?
Given your requirement for a car for road trips, we recommend looking at the more powerful options within your budget, rather than the more feature-packed ones.
The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is a good fit for your needs. It has a nice 1.2-litre engine, and Maruti's easy-to-access service network also counts for a lot when venturing out of city limits.
Citroen C3 is the best-to-drive car within your budget, but the service network is small.
Tata Tiago and Tata Punch are also options to consider. They feel tough, and this adds greatly to confidence on a road trip.
I am planning to upgrade from the Grand i10 to a more fuel-efficient and comfortable car. I am confused between the Maruti Fronx and the Tata Punch EV. My budget is below Rs 10 lakh. Usage is mainly in the city, with occasional long drives of around 500 km one way.
I grew up reading Autocar since I was 13, and now, at 25, I want to buy a CNG car for around ā¹10 lakhs for primary city use, with average speeds under 25 km/h. Iām confused between the Baleno, Exter, Dzire, and Altroz. Fuel efficiency and a hassle-free ownership experience are my priorities. Iām also open to other good CNG options you suggest. Additionally, is the new Brezza expected to get an underbody CNG setup in 2025?
The Tata Altroz in the Creative spec will fit in your budget and is a well-packaged premium hatchback. The dual-cylinder also allows for a decently sized boot, and it offers good power for city driving. The main advantage this Tata car has over the other cars you mentioned is a premium cabin, more features and space and comfort. It rides very well, feels plush and has good tech. The Exter has a bigger boot, and Hyundai is better than Tata when it comes to after-sales, but as a product, the Altroz is better and will suit your needs well.
