Asked by: Navneethon Jan 12, 2026
Hi, my 2015 petrol Ciaz has been great and has done over a lakh kilometres. Iโm now looking to switch to an SUV, preferably a 6-7 seater, mostly for highway use. Itโs important that the SUV has a very good ride quality and minimal motion sickness. My budget is under โน30 lakh. Iโm considering the Hyundai Alcazar and the new Kia Seltos 5-seater. Please advise.
The Hyundai Alcazar is a decent option for a 6/7-seater SUV with a comfortable ride quality. However, its third row of seats is not the most spacious or comfortable for adults.
If you're fine with going for an MPV, take a look at the Toyota Innova Hycross strong hybrid. It's got a refined petrol-strong hybrid CVT powertrain that has a claimed fuel efficiency of 23.34kpl.
Moreover, its cabin is far more spacious and comfortable than the Alcazar, and it has a comfortable ride on the highways too. Toyota Innova Hycross strong hybrid prices range from Rs 26.30 lakh to Rs 32.38 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Asked by: Yamanon Jan 11, 2026
I would like to upgrade from my Honda City petrol manual to a new 6-7 seater vehicle under the price of 25lakh rupees. The car must be automatic and petrol or hybrid, and the major desired feature is good reliability, like I have had with my Honda. The mileage isn't a very big concern. The car needs to be good to drive and have a good ownership experience.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO will be a good upgrade from your Honda City. As a five-seater is spacious and comfortable, and its third row gets you the added flexibility to ferry an occasional sixth and seventh passenger. Its 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivers strong performance, and the 6-speed torque converter automatic is smooth in its operation. The new XUV 7XO not only rides well and feels tough over bad roads, but it is also good to drive and is an able long-distance tourer.
However, if you plan to travel with six or seven passengers regularly, for long hours, then you will be better off with a Toyota Innova HyCross petrol-CVT. It is a lot more spacious (in all three rows) than the Mahindra car, and even though it lacks some features or the overall feel-good factor of the XUV, being a Toyota, the Innova Hycross's ownership experience is likely to be a bit better.

Asked by: Armaan benslaon Jan 9, 2026
Hi guys, I live in Delhi NCR and currently own an 8-year-old Toyota Innova Crysta, which I am planning to replace. I am confused between the Mahindra XUV 7XO, Toyota Innova HyCross and Skoda Kodiaq. Parameters to hit are good space with all rows in use, comfort, strong performance with reasonable fuel efficiency, and long-term reliability. Which one should I choose?
Given your requirement for space with all rows up, the Toyota Innova HyCross makes the most sense for you. It is easily the roomiest of the three options on your shortlist and stands out for third row space and comfort. There is plenty of adjustability in the seats, too, allowing all passengers to find a good compromise.
Of the versions available, we'd suggest you consider the strong hybrid powertrain that delivers exceptional real-world fuel economy for a vehicle of this size. The powertrain is unexciting, but performance is good enough. Also worth bringing in is the fact that this Toyota car has bulletproof reliability, which is something important to you.

We are a family of five and are planning to buy a seven-seater. My budget is โน25 lakh, and I am confused between the Innova HyCross GX and the top-end Kia Carens Clavis. I will only be in India for about 2-3 months each year.
Considering your specific requirements, the Toyota Innova HyCross is the more sensible option for you. This Toyota car has a more spacious and comfortable cabin than the Kia Carens Clavis, and since you plan to use it sparingly, Toyota's bulletproof reliability should give you peace of mind.
The Innova Hycross petrol is powered by a 173hp, 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine that's paired with a CVT automatic transmission that has a claimed mileage of 16.3kpl. Toyota Innova Hycross petrol prices range from Rs 18.33 lakh to Rs 20.71 lakh (ex-showroom).

My budget is โน30โฏL to โน35โฏL. I want a 7โseater with good mileage. Most of my driving will be on highways and long journeys. Which car should I buy?
Given your requirements, you should consider the Toyota Innova HyCross strong hybrid. The MPV has a spacious cabin for seven people, and its comfy ride means it'll be ideal for long journeys.
The Innova HyCross strong hybrid is also efficient, with a claimed mileage of 23.34kpl. Toyota Innova HyCross strong hybrid price starts at Rs 30.08 lakh and goes up to Rs 35.76 lakh (on-road, Delhi).

Asked by: Chintan Patanion Jan 6, 2026
I am looking for a 7-seater petrol automatic with a price range of approximately โน20-22 lakh (+/-10%). I plan to keep the car long term and am not keen on top-spec variants or gimmicky features. Please suggest suitable options.
If you are looking for a no-nonsense, spacious 7-seater petrol, you can opt for the Toyota Innova HyCross, the Petrol GX 7 Seat variant. It is in your budget. It is a proper 7-seater car, with all three rows usable by adults as well.
Toyota cars are known for their reliability, so keeping the car for the long term won't be a problem. The only downside is that the HyCross Petrol is not particularly known for fuel efficiency. If you want better fuel efficiency, you can look at the Kia Carens Clavis Turbo Petrol DCT.

Asked by: Amit Prakashon Dec 28, 2025
I am looking to buy a new car under โน25 lakh. I prefer an 8-seater layout and do not want a hybrid. A simple petrol engine with a CVT or torque converter automatic is preferred.
The only 8-seater option in the market is the Toyota Innova HyCross GX O, powered by a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and CVT. This Toyota car is much more spacious and comfortable than any seven-seater available at a similar price.

Asked by: Saujanyaon Dec 25, 2025
Hi, I hope all is well! I will trust your advice on a particular need I have. The EQS drives like a dream, and I am glad I followed your advice last time. I will now be required to travel from Gurgaon to Noida every day, chauffeur-driven. I'm considering the HyCross, but a friend (HyCross owner) feels itโs not good and the build quality has been compromised. I donโt see any other alternative. CRV Hybrid isnโt available yet. Any suggestions?
The trip from Gurgaon to Noida every day is quite a trek! The Toyota Innova HyCross, especially the hybrid variant, is actually your best alternative as it is quiet and offers a smooth, jerk-free drive in slow-moving traffic. The Ottoman seats are very comfortable, which is a big plus for your long commute.
Regarding the quality concerns, your friend was probably referring to the fact that some of the cabin plastics look a bit cheap and hard, and the cabin doesnโt have the plush, rich feel of German or even Korean cars. However, there is no issue with reliability, and like with every Toyota car, you can expect the HyCross to be reliable and give you many years of hassle-free and comfortable transport.

We currently own a Mahindra XUV 300, which we bought in May 2019, and earlier had a Maruti Swift for 10 years. Our family size is increasing, so we want to upgrade to a more superior car, preferably a 6- or 7-seater. We live in a small town and use the car locally and for 3-4 trips per month to nearby cities, mostly within a 300 km range. We want a car with good boot space, low maintenance, luxurious interiors, and strong social prestige/optics. We are a business family with a budget within โน40 lakh. Please suggest.
The Toyota Innova HyCross is the ideal pick for you. Its large size not only lends it great road presence but also gives a very spacious interior. There's genuinely usable space in the third row, and luggage space is decent with all rows up. Also, you can fold the third row to make more room, and second row comfort is very impressive.
Versions with captain's chairs in the middle row go the distance with powered seat adjust and adjustable legrests. We'd recommend you opt for the strong hybrid in ZX(O) trim that gets you good economy and all the features.

Asked by: Skon Dec 19, 2025
We are a family of four, with teenage children. We have been driving a Skoda Octavia for the past 7+ years. Our usage is mainly city driving, around 600-800 km per month in Bangalore traffic, and approximately 5,000 km of highway driving annually. If we want to upgrade to an SUV or MUV, what would be ideal? We are looking for safety, driving pleasure, and a luxurious interior, overall, something that feels like a step up. The budget is around โน40 lakh.
The โน40 lakh price bracket is something of a no-manโs land in the SUV market, as there arenโt too many strong contenders positioned here. If you can stretch your budget to around โน50 lakh, the Skoda Kodiaq would be an ideal upgrade. Itโs spacious, feels luxurious inside, and offers a noticeable step up from your Octavia in terms of comfort and refinement.
If thatโs beyond budget, consider the Toyota Innova HyCross ZX(O) Hybrid. While it isnโt quite as plush inside as the Octavia, itโs a very comfortable and spacious family car. The hybrid powertrain is efficient for city use and delivers relaxed performance on highways, making it an excellent all-rounder for your needs.
