Asked by: Tejas Agarwa My daily travel is currently 150 km, and I own a Tata Nexon EV. I now need to buy a new car for office commuting. Should I go for a bigger battery pack or switch to petrol, considering EVs do not have good resale value? My Nexon EV has done 1,10,000 km, and I can get ₹5 lakh for it. The resale value for EVs is still unknown and is likely to fluctuate over the next few years. If that is a concern, switching to petrol is fine. If, however, you are happy with an EV, you should consider the MG Windsor, which comes with the Battery as a Service and Buy Back plan. Asked by: sreeraj karavatt I have shortlisted 2 SUVs. Hyundai Venue automatic petrol and Maruti Brezza automatic petrol. Which is good? If space and low running costs are your priorities, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza automatic petrol is a solid choice. It’s a practical and comfortable family car, though its driving experience is a bit dull.On the other hand, The Hyundai Venue 1.0-litre turbo petrol automatic, is feature-packed and more engaging to drive, but its cabin is smaller than the Brezza’s, which could matter for families.If you mostly drive yourself and enjoy a peppy, well-equipped car, the Hyundai Venue makes more sense. Alternatively, you might consider waiting for the all-new Hyundai Venue, launching on November 4th, which could offer improved space, features, and refinement. Asked by: Harshith Hi, I travel around 3,000 km a month, with 80% on highways at speeds of 100–120 km/h. I am looking to buy an EV and can set up a home charger. The options I have narrowed down to are: MG ZS EV top model – an older car, but is it still worth it? MG Windsor Pro EV top model Tata Nexon EV top model Which of these should I go for? We’d rule out the MG Windsor Pro EV first. It’s more of a city-focused EV, and its highway manners aren’t ideal. The ride is firm, and there is noticeable road noise, which can be tiring over long distances.The Tata Nexon EV is capable on highways, but its real-world range still falls short of the MG ZS EV’s. An important factor if you cover long distances and occasionally rely on public chargers.The MG ZS EV, though slightly older, remains the best option for your usage. It offers stronger performance, a more comfortable long-distance ride, better range, and a more spacious, premium cabin that feels a class above the others. Since it has been on sale for a while, you should also be able to negotiate a decent discount. Asked by: Anil Pais Which is the best car in terms of safety, reliability, driveability, and fuel efficiency? The options I am considering are the Thar, Taigun, and Kushaq. Also, is it okay to go for a diesel car? The Mahindra Thar is a bit of an outlier among these three options. It’s the only 3-door model, the only one built on a tough body-on-frame chassis, and the only one that comes with a diesel engine. Going for a diesel SUV is absolutely fine, in fact, the lack of diesel options in the Taigun and Kushaq petrol variants can be a disadvantage if you value fuel efficiency and torque for highway or off-road driving.If the Thar is going to be your second or third car that will be used occasionally for off-road trips or wilderness drives, then it’s a compelling choice, and the 1.5-litre diesel is significantly cheaper too.However, in terms of refinement, comfort, driveability, and on-road sophistication, the Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq are far superior. They are smoother, more comfortable, and easier to drive daily, making them better all-rounders for city and highway use. Can’t decide which car to buy?
