Asked by: Vivek Dsouzaon Nov 20, 2025
Iโm looking to buy a 2.0-litre hybrid SUV in 2026 with a budget of โน25 lakh. What options are likely to be available? Is Toyota planning a RAV4, Kia a Sportage, or Honda a ZRV for India, and would they fit my price point? Or is it better to consider diesel models such as the Harrier? What are the pros and cons of petrol versus diesel for my needs, and given the E20 fuel uncertainty, do you recommend choosing diesel?
Currently, there are no 2.0-litre hybrid SUVs on sale in India. Your closest option would be the Toyota Innova Hycross or Maruti Suzuki Invicto, both of which are capable MPVs.
It is unlikely that Toyota will bring the RAV4 to India anytime soon. However, Honda is expected to launch the ZR-V in 2026 with the brandโs 2.0 hybrid powertrain. Kia is also rumoured to bring the larger, three-row Sorento to India in 2026. It could come as a CKD model with local assembly for a more competitive price.
It is definitely worth looking at a diesel engine if your usage is high. Due to stricter emission regulations, the remaining diesel options are now cleaner than ever. Ironically, in some cases, they are even cleaner than petrol.
The downsides are that there arenโt many diesel options left, the DPF system needs regular attention, and the price is usually higher. New petrol cars are ready for E20 fuel, but if regulations change in the future, their compatibility is still uncertain.

I plan to sell my car and buy a new one. I was considering the Innova HyCross hybrid, but it is going over budget. I am not a frequent road-trip person, maybe one or two trips a year. My primary requirement is that the boot space should be close to the BR-V. Suggestions?
Since you prefer an MPV and the Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid is beyond your budget, you should consider the Kia Carens Clavis.
The Kia Carens Clavis is also comfortable for up to seven passengers, and with the third row folded down, you should have similar cargo space to the Honda BR-V. This Kia car also comes feature-packed, and it can be had with three engines - a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol, a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel. Furthermore, it can even be had as a full electric in the form of the Carens Clavis EV.

Iโm confused between the Skoda Kodiaq Lounge and the Toyota Hycross ZX. What should I pick if Iโll be driving 50% of the time, and being driven by a chauffeur the other 50%?
The Skoda Kodiaq and Toyota Innova Hycross are very different products, and your choice depends on factors you'll give more weightage to.
The Skoda Kodiaq is significantly pricier but offers a significantly more upmarket interior. Interior quality is as good as many luxury cars, and there are lots of features and goodies packed in, too. The Kodiaq is also the more entertaining vehicle to drive. Its 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivers strong performance, which is something you'll appreciate when you drive. Rear seat comfort is good, but the Innova Hycross has the edge here.
The Innova Hycross has a roomier cabin, and the middle row seating is more comfortable. The legrests on the captain seat versions count for a lot to up comfort levels when you are sitting at the back. Also, thanks to the strong hybrid powertrain, the Hycross is significantly more efficient than a Kodiaq. Also, purchase price aside, regular maintenance in the long run will also work out cheaper on the Toyota. On the flip side, while the Hycross' EV mode is unique, the Toyota is essentially unexciting to drive.

I'm planning to buy a spacious, preferably 7-seater car with a budget of โน10-22 lakh. I don't want too many features - my priority is a reliable, sturdy vehicle. Which cars should I consider
The Toyota Innova HyCross petrol variant meets your requirements. The MPV has a very comfy and spacious cabin for 7 people, and being a Toyota car, it will be reliable and stress-free to own.
The Innova HyCross petrol is powered by a 173hp, 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine that's mated to a CVT automatic gearbox. While Innova HyCross mileage is 16.3kpl (company claimed), we managed figures of 6.9kpl (city) and 12.4kpl (highway) during our testing.
The range-topping Innova HyCross petrol GX(O) 7 seater is priced at Rs 20.25 lakh (ex-showroom), which falls within your budget. It gets all the basics in terms of features like auto climate control, LED headlamps, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system and more. In terms of safety, you get 6 airbags and the Innova HyCross has also received a full, 5-star crash safety rating from Bharat NCAP.

Iโm planning to buy a luxury 7-seater car mainly for road trips. Please suggest which car is best under โน40 lakhs with an automatic option.
The Toyota Innova HyCross with the hybrid powertrain and in the top-spec ZX(O) trim will be a great option. It has a fantastic and roomy cabin, lots of comfort in the middle row and plenty of space for the third row passengers as well. The Hybrid is also efficient and smooth and offers a relaxing drive. You also get the legendary Toyota reliability, which sweetens the deal further.

Iโm looking for a 7-seater for occasional outstation trips. Iโm confused between the Toyota Innova Hycross and the XEV 9S. Which one should I go for?
The Toyota Innova HyCross is excellent in terms of space and practicality. This Toyota car offers a usable boot even with all three rows up, and its third-row space is among the best in the segment. The strong hybrid engine is smooth and reliable, too.
The Mahindra XEV 9S, being an EV, will be more tech-laden, but since not many details have been revealed yet, itโs hard to compare fully. For long trips, though, an EV will require plenty of pre-planning, and the current charging infrastructure does not offer the peace of mind you have with a petrol or hybrid car.

I live in a joint family of nine members and want to buy a new 7- or 8-seater car. My priorities are: a) a 5-star safety rating, b) decent mileage and interior quality, and c) good boot space. My monthly running is about 1,200 km. Please suggest a suitable car.
Without knowing your budget, it is difficult to gauge exactly which car to recommend. However, when it comes to your other requirements, the Toyota Innova HyCross fits your needs best.
This Toyota car has a spacious cabin for 7 to 8 passengers, as well as decent boot space. It has received a 5-star crash test rating from Bharat NCAP, and its strong hybrid version offers excellent mileage. The interior is also well built and decently kitted out with features.

Iโm looking for a 6/7-seater vehicle for mainly city use with occasional long journeys. My priority is ultimate comfort for the driver and rear passengers. My budget is up to โน40 lakh โ which model gives the best value for money?
We'd recommend the Toyota Innova Hycross strong hybrid for you. It scores for space and comfort across all three rows, and the middle row is particularly impressive. The strong hybrid powertrain also stands out with excellent fuel economy, and the quiet running in EV mode is something that will make your city commutes more relaxing, too.

Asked by: Pradeep Kumaron Oct 27, 2025
Weโve been using the Xylo since 2009, and our latest one is a 2019 model. We use the third row frequently for long drives, and the Xyloโs legroom has been impressive, even a 6-foot-tall person can sit comfortably in the third row. Our usage includes city drives of up to 60 km a day and long trips every two months of around 1,000 km. Weโre looking for an equivalent in terms of driving comfort, seating comfort, and fairly good features. Weโre considering the Scorpio N, XUV700, or anything better in the โน25โ30 lakh range.
The Mahindra Scorpio N and XUV700 are good options, but neither offers sufficient third-row space, which is important in your case.
Instead, you should consider the Tata Safari, Toyota Innova HyCross, or Maruti Suzuki Invicto. All three provide a spacious third row and fall within your โน25-30 lakh budget.

Asked by: Muralidharan Saron Oct 24, 2025
I would like to purchase a new car, and I am 65 years old. I previously owned an XUV700 AX7L petrol. I am looking for a car with good suspension and a well-appointed interior. Iโm also open to considering an EV. My budget is around Rs 30 lakh, and my yearly running is about 6,000 km.
In your price range, the XUV700 remains one of the best options. However, if you want something new, consider the Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid VX โ it offers a spacious and premium cabin, excellent ride comfort, and outstanding fuel efficiency.
On the EV front, the Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two (79kWh) is a great option, while the recently launched VinFast VF7 Sky Infinity AWD is also worth considering for its strong value proposition.
