Asked by: Nilesh My monthly running is about 1,500 km. I’m looking to upgrade to an SUV within ₹15 lakh that offers good features. I’m considering the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, and Toyota Hyryder. I’ve also heard that diesel cars might be banned soon. Would buying one be a wise decision? Given your monthly running, we recommend a petrol SUV, as it would take a lot more running to justify the diesel premium. The models you mentioned are all good choices, but well-equipped variants will exceed your ₹15 lakh budget.You can also consider the new Hyundai Venue, which is set to launch soon. It gets a well-equipped cabin, multiple powertrain choices, and strong safety credentials.

Asked by: Anks Hi, I’m planning to buy a new car, but I’m confused. I want to purchase an electric car within ₹20 lakh that offers a large boot. I travel around 2,500-3,000 km per month. Would an EV be a viable option for me? The MG Windsor Pro fits your budget and offers a spacious cabin, a large boot, and a good feature set. An EV car is viable for the distances you mentioned, but if your driving is mostly on highways, it’s important to check the availability of charging infrastructure.For the highways, a diesel SUV will suit your needs better. The Hyundai Creta S(O) Knight with an automatic gearbox will be a good option.

Asked by: Ragunath A I want to buy my first car, which will also be the first in my family of four. I’ve booked the Honda Elevate ZX, mainly for its comfort, long-term usability, and safety. Is this the right choice, or would you suggest any alternatives? The Honda Elevate is a smooth and easy-going SUV, but it falls short in several areas compared to the Hyundai Creta. The Creta offers a more spacious interior, a better feature list, and good safety as well. We recommend the Hyundai Creta and also suggest considering the Maruti Suzuki Victoris.

Asked by: Hasheer I need to buy a new car. My daily commute is around 5–10 km (to office and back), with occasional trips. We are a family of four, and my budget is up to ₹15 lakh. I want cruise control, but I don’t have any other specific requirements. The Skoda Kushaq will suit your needs well. It’s a comfortable four-seater with a spacious boot, ideal for family trips, and easy to drive in the city. We recommend the automatic variant, as the manual has a heavier clutch.If you prefer a manual, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza is a good alternative with its light clutch and smooth 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine that performs well at low speeds.

Asked by: Varun Raj TM I’m planning to exchange my bike. I work in the forest department and often ride through tough terrain in the Western Ghats. Is the Yezdi Adventure a good choice for my use case? The recently updated Yezdi Adventure is a decent option in its segment, but we’d steer you toward the KTM 250 Adventure or TVS Apache RTX 300 instead.Reason being, both of these machines are vastly lighter (nearly 20 kilos) than the Yezdi while bringing similar - if not more performance to the table. Then there is also the fact that Classic Legends has sadly garnered a reputation for less-than-stellar after-sales support, which is an important factor to consider.All three bikes have comparable price tags, but the RTX's pricing is the easiest on the wallet if that is important to you.
