Asked by: Abhilash Singhon Feb 6, 2026
I am planning to buy a bigger car which has features, is not underpowered and gives good mileage. Should I go for Hyryder or Victoris Strong Hybrid, or wait for Honda Elevate Strong Hybrid or Duster Strong Hybrid?
Between the Maruti Victoris and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, the choice also comes down to brand preference, as underneath both cars are almost identical, sharing a similar powertrain, chassis and fuel efficiency.
That said, as a product, the Victoris feels newer. It has better quality interiors, offers more safety and convenience features, and has also secured a 5-star BNCAP rating. With both cars being similarly priced, the Victoris comes across as a better value overall.
If you are willing to wait until Diwali this year, we would also suggest keeping an eye on the new Renault Duster Hybrid. Its hybrid system works differently from the Toyota Maruti setup and is expected to feel more natural to drive, with stronger performance as well.
As for the Honda Elevate, we do not expect a hybrid version to be launched. Honda is likely to focus more on its EV plans for India instead.

I own a Hyryder hybrid and enjoy driving it. I now want to buy a new SUV with a budget of ₹25 lakh. My driving is 70% city and 30% highway, with an annual running of around 13,500 km. I am fine with a 5-seater as long as it offers decent mileage, comfort, and a stylish design. Please advise.
Be prepared that none of the options on sale can match the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder hybrid's outstanding fuel efficiency, especially in urban conditions. The new Kia Seltos diesel-automatic is an option you could consider for its modern and tech-laden approach, comfortable ride quality and smooth and efficient powertrain. If you don't mind driving a slightly larger vehicle, the new Mahindra XUV 7XO is another excellent option you could consider.

I am planning to buy the MG Hector Plus or the Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid. My requirement is comfort and speed when driving on the highway. Please suggest.
You haven't mentioned which variant of the MG Hector Plus you're considering - the turbo-petrol-automatic is refined and smooth, although it isn't efficient, and won't feel effortless on the highway; the diesel, on the other hand, feels much stronger and more suited for highway drives, but it is only available with a manual gearbox. The Hector Plus also impresses when it comes to low-speed ride comfort, but its suspension doesn't feel as settled as the HyCross's at highway speed.
Additionally, the HyCross is the more spacious car, and is easily the better pick if you generally travel with six or seven passengers and luggage. Its hybrid powertrain feels surprisingly peppy, it is quite refined, and it is also likely to return around 16kpl on the highway, which is quite good. Between the two, the Toyota Innova HyCross is a bit pricier, but it comes across as the more sensible pick.

I own an Altroz DCT but want to replace it due to mileage issues. My running is almost 400 km per month, mostly within the city. I want an SUV in the range of around ₹12 lakh, preferably an automatic. Please suggest.
You could consider the CNG-AMT version of the updated Tata Punch, which gives you the best of both worlds - running costs of a CNG, and the convenience of an automatic.
If you want a petrol-only offering, you could consider the Maruti Fronx or Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor 1.2 petrol-AMT, both of which are powered by a very fuel-efficient and smooth powertrain.

I have a 2022 Toyota Innova Crysta GX automatic 8-seater. In view of the impending stricter emission requirements under CAFE norms and the consequent possibility of the Innova Crysta being discontinued, should I continue to hold on to this car or sell it and migrate to either a hybrid or pure electric?
If your Toyota Innova Crysta is running well, you are happy with it, and there is no urgent need to upgrade, we would strongly recommend holding on to it. It is a comfortable workhorse that's likely to serve you well, reliably, for many years to come.
Yes, the Innova will eventually be discontinued from the market in 2027. As far as service or availability of spare parts goes, this being a popular model, you don't need to worry at all. We'd suggest you enjoy the car till you can - your 2022 car isn't going to be impacted by any upcoming emission norms or regulations, at least for the next few years.

Hi, I'm 30 years old and planning to purchase (used or new) a 7-seater car for my family. I travel frequently to my farmland and do 2 to 3 full-family long trips each year. My budget is around 20-25 lakh. I've shortlisted 3 vehicles. 7XO, Scorpio N and Innova Crysta (used or new) by November 2026. I’d really appreciate your advice on which one would be a better fit for power, comfort, ease of driving, and overall value within my budget.
Avoid the Mahindra Scorpio N as a seven-seater, as its third row is too cramped and is best for occasional use by children only. The XUV 7XO is a much better option, as it offers more usable space and is a far more sophisticated offering. It has powerful engines, good features and is easy to drive around town, and capable on the highway.
However, your best bet is really the Toyota Innova Crysta, which remains the ultimate long-distance seven seater. It has the most space in the third row, robust suspension to handle heavy loads and a tough ladder frame chassis with rear-wheel drive to handle broken rural sections and hills. Plus, it is incredibly reliable and will run for years with minimal fuss.
It may be discontinued in 2027, so grab it while you can before the year is done, but rest assured, Toyota will be able to support you with parts and maintenance for many years to come. It is on the expensive side of your budget, however, so you could either settle for a mid-range model, or else go for a second-hand example that hasn't got too many kilometres on it.

Hello, I am an NRI. We spend 3-4 months in India. I have been using short-term car subscriptions during our stay, and for the last two years, we have rented a Brezza. Now, I am considering buying a recent-model used car. We will use it during our stay for long trips, and at other times, my family will use and maintain it. Can you recommend a reliable model? My budget is ₹10-12 lakh. Thank you.
You could consider getting a pre-owned petrol-automatic midsize SUV, such as the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, or Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. These are sensible and reliable options, and you can find plenty of 2-3 year-old examples that'll fall into your Rs 10-12 lakh budget. You could consider trusted used car platforms such as Spinny, where vehicles are thoroughly inspected and are backed by a warranty, too.

I am planning to buy a new car for my daily commute and occasional long drives with my family. My daily driving requirement is around 70 km, and my budget is between ₹10-15 lakhs. I am confused about whether to choose a petrol, CNG, hybrid, or electric vehicle. Kindly guide me.
Since you're running over 2000 kms a month, you can consider buying a CNG car. We would have recommended a hybrid as well, but the most affordable hybrid, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder S, is around Rs 1.5 lakh over your maximum budget of Rs 15 lakh.
In CNG, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, either in the LXi or the VXi variant, depending on the features you are looking for. The Victoris is a well-engineered car, and the solution Maruti Suzuki has come up with for the CNG tank position under the boot floor makes the Victoris CNG very versatile. In terms of boot space, the compromise is minimal, which is important since you go on a long drive once a month with your family.

I have a family of six adults. Which car would be suitable for me?
If you need a comfortable 6-seater, the Toyota Innova HyCross is the car for you. It offers three spacious rows and, it still leaves you with usable luggage space. If your budget permits, the strong hybrid version is the one to pick as it delivers better fuel efficiency and smoother performance.
A more affordable alternative is the Kia Carens Clavis. All three rows can accommodate adults, and you still get some room for bags. Clavis also gets a wide choice of engines: naturally aspirated petrol, turbo-petrol, and diesel. If your usage is largely within the city, the NA petrol is sufficient. For stronger performance and more relaxed highway overtakes, the turbo-petrol is the better choice.

I’m planning to buy a new car with a budget of ₹25 lakh. I have shortlisted Innova HyCross, XUV 7XO, XEV 9S, and Tata Safari/Harrier. Monthly driving is under 500km, mostly city. Looking for good driving experience, new tech, and decent resale value.
While the Toyota Innova HyCross would have been a good option - especially if you needed to use all three rows of seats - in your budget, you'd only get the petrol version, which is not well-equipped and very inefficient. The hybrid costs upwards of Rs 30 lakh.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO offers excellent value for money and allows you to buy a near fully loaded variant within your budget. However, given your minimal usage, you should go for an electric car, and the XEV 9S is a superb option. You'll get the mid-range 70kWh battery in Pack Two Above spec, but it still packs in quite a bit of features and tech.
