Asked by: Dhirendra pratap I want to buy a new car. My monthly running is around 4,000 km. Which option will be more budget-friendly for me, EV or hybrid? I am currently driving a Swift Dzire diesel. Please suggest which car I should buy. If you have access to home charging and there's a good network of EV chargers around you, an electric car makes sense as it will give you lower running costs than hybrid or ICE vehicles. But if you don't have consistent access to EV chargers and you frequent road trips, you'd find more value in a strong hybrid.Since your running is so high, you'll appreciate a strong hybrid's frugal nature as well. As for your options, there are currently three strong hybrid midsize SUVs on sale that all share the same powertrain - the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.If you want a sedan, there's the Honda City e:HEV, or if you want an MPV, there's the Toyota Innova HyCross and the Maruti Suzuki Invicto. Asked by: Jagdish Shetty Hello, I am an avid Autocar India reader and a regular visitor to www.autocarindia.com. I also enjoy your podcasts. I wish to buy a 100cc motorcycle. Currently, I ride a Honda Dio and previously used the Splendor and Platina. Now, I have shortlisted the Honda Shine 100 and the TVS Sport. My usage will be strictly city-centric, approximately 10 to 40 km daily. My expectations are comfort, good suspension, easy maintenance, fuel efficiency, and reliability. Kindly guide me. Thank you. First of all, thank you for your patronage. We truly appreciate it. Coming to your query, both the Honda Shine 100 DX and TVS Sport will be frugal, practical and comfortable machines that will likely last you for a long time and return great fuel economy.Since the TVS uses a slightly larger 110cc engine compared to the Honda, which has a 99cc mill, expect the TVS Sport to have slightly more pep. Take a test ride of both machines before you decide. Asked by: Divy Jain I’m 27 (5′9″) and my father is 60 (5′11″) with a broad upper body. I want a bike (on-road budget under ₹2.4 lakh) that fits both our heights and body types. My riding will be mostly city and highway, with some casual off-roading and long trips. I’m considering the Yezdi ADV, Yezdi Roadster, Royal Enfield H’ness, TVS Apache RTX 300, and Hero Xpulse. Which of these suits both of us best? Considering your use case, we would advise choosing between the TVS Apache RTX 300 and the Hero Xpulse 210. The RTX is an adventure bike, which will make it great on the road, while the Xpulse is a dualsport, which will be more capable during serious off-roading. If you want a more road-biased machine, then the Honda CB350 H'ness (or either of its siblings), the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 and the TVS Ronin would make for a good option. Take a test ride of these machines to help decide which one is best for you. Asked by: Projit Hi, I currently ride a 2019 Bajaj Avenger 220 Street and I really enjoy cruiser-style, laid-back riding. I’m considering upgrading to a new bike-TVS Ronin, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Jawa Perak, or the Classic/Bullet 350. Budget is not a concern. My usage is mostly city riding with occasional highway trips. Please advise. Between the options you've shortlisted, we'd advise choosing between the TVS Ronin and the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 for their laidback yet neutral riding positions and thumpy, torquey engines, as well as comfortable suspension setups. You should also look at the Honda CB350 models, as they have a similar feel and look to the Royal Enfield bikes, but have a more modern and lighter riding experience. Take a test ride of every machine you're considering before making your purchase. Can’t decide which car to buy? Ask our experts and get answers to all your car related queries. Ask experts
