Asked by: Manthan Is it sensible to purchase an EV scooter rather than using my current TVS 110 Jupiter for 30 km total daily traveling in terms of value for money and mileage for my father, who is 64? The scooter must be light, offer generous boot space, be easy to operate, and have accessible service in our rural area. There's no doubt that in the long run, you will save some money from an EV's minimal running costs, so if you plan to use this vehicle for more than 5-6 years, you should consider an electric scooter. In this space, our picks would be any of the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, or Ather Rizta variants, depending on your budget.In case there isn't a service centre for an EV in your area and you need to stick to a petrol scooter, you could consider the latest TVS Jupiter 110 or the Suzuki Access - both regarded quite highly in their respective segments. Asked by: Sujith Chandran I currently own a Ford Figo Titanium TDCi, which I love. However, it’s now 11 years old, so I’m planning to buy a new automatic SUV with good power. Most of my drives are on highways, and my budget is around ₹20 lakh. Since your Figo is a diesel and most of your driving is on highways, we assume you’d like to continue with diesel. The Mahindra Scorpio N comes with a powerful 2.2-litre diesel engine and is a great highway car. However, at your budget you'll only get a low-spec model, and its tough, ladder frame construction, while great on the highway, has its disadvantages around town.A better-equipped and more refined option at the same price is the Kia Seltos, which is also quite fun to drive. Asked by: Manish I’m planning to buy a new mid-size SUV and am confused between the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Neo Drive V AT, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Alpha (O) AT, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun, and Skoda Kushaq. My budget is ₹20 lakh, and it will be purchased under a company car lease. My running is less, split 50% between the city and the highway. For my old Baleno, Nexa is offering ₹5.25 lakh with an exchange bonus. Please suggest the best option. Since the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara are already on your shortlist, we suggest looking at the Maruti Suzuki Victoris. It’s based on those two models but is newer, offers a better interior, more features, and comes at a more affordable price.Regarding your Maruti Baleno, you can check its market valuation on Spinny to ensure you’re getting a fair offer. Asked by: T K appachu I already own an SX4 ZXi 2010 model that has done 80,000 km. I maintain it very well, and I’m quite happy with the car, but its mileage is around 13-14 km/l. Is there any way to improve the mileage? I’m also confused about whether to keep it for another five years or change it now. My only concern is fuel consumption. If you are noticing a drop in mileage more recently, then it could be on account of the E20 fuel. Since ethanol has a lower energy density, the higher ethanol content in E20 will reduce your fuel efficiency. If the car is running well and you are satisfied with it, you could keep it longer.However, if mileage is a big concern, you can change your car now, as all new cars are E20-compliant and are better equipped to manage E20.The Maruti Suzuki Dzire is a good, fuel-efficient sedan, while the strong-hybrid Maruti Suzuki Victoris is even more efficient, though it is priced higher.
