Asked by: Akshay Kathuria I currently own a Kia Seltos (2023) Petrol HTX IVT, which I drive 75-80 km daily, and a Maruti Ciaz (2019) Alpha AT, which I use for 30 km daily. I’m planning to sell the Ciaz, use the Seltos for the 30km commute, and buy a hybrid or EV for my 80 km daily office drive. Between the MG ZS EV, Mahindra BE6 Pack 1, and Toyota Hyryder Hybrid, which would be the better choice? My budget is around ₹20-22 lakh. The best choice for your daily city commute would be an electric car because of its low running costs and smooth driving dynamics. The Mahindra BE 6e is a good option as it has radical looks, plenty of features, and a good range as well.A strong hybrid like the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder would also be a good option, but if you have a set route and drive mostly within the city, the Mahindra car makes more sense. Asked by: Viney I drive around 600-800km per month, and my budget is ₹15 lakh. I want a car that’s over 4 meters long, but I can’t decide which one to buy. Please help me choose. Considering your usage and budget, we suggest shortlisting the Citroen Basalt. If you’re looking for a manual variant, you can opt for the top Max trim, which now comes with all essential features.Citroen has recently added previously missing features, like push-button start and ventilated front seats, which add a touch of premiumness to the experience. The Basalt is among the most practical and comfortable cars in its category, offering excellent space, very comfortable seats, a large boot, and a plush ride quality.If you’re concerned about Citroen’s limited sales and service network, you can also consider the Honda Elevate. While this Honda car isn’t as spacious or comfortable as the Basalt, it still offers good value, and even the lower variants are well equipped. Asked by: Kiran I’m looking for a bike that looks good and offers lots of features. I’m considering the TVS RTX 300 for its features, but I’m also tempted to wait for the Yamaha XSR. I feel the RTX’s weight might be too much for me - I rode an Apache 160 comfortably, and I don’t think I can handle a bike weighing over 150 kg. I want a bike with 40-50 kmpl mileage, good looks, and plenty of features. I’ve also considered the Pulsar and Unicorn; don’t limit suggestions to these. What should I choose? Since you're shopping in the 150/160cc segment and want flashy looks, good features and decent mileage too, here are all the options you should consider. The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is a smooth, comfortable yet decently sporty machine. Also, since you mentioned that you want a more manageable machine, we'll stick with options that have a low seat and are lightweight. In a similar vein, you can also consider the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and Honda SP160, too. If you can extend your budget, bikes like the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 will also fit the bill because they have punchy performance, yet return good fuel efficiency and are lightweight and manageable too.
