i drive around 100 -120 Km per week. I am planning to buy XUV700 Ax7. can i buy a diesel version of this car. i am reading about Diesel Particulate Filter problem. Please guide. Will it be an expensive maintenance for me

Asked by: Rahul

If you drive only 100–120 km per week, primarily in the city, the diesel variant of the XUV700 may not be ideal due to potential Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clogging issues from low-speed, short-distance driving. Consider the petrol version instead, as it may offer lower maintenance costs and fewer DPF-related concerns for your usage pattern

Asked by: hareesh hi team, currently we own a Marazzo and planning to change it for another 7 seater vehicle . 7 are adults and we have shortlisted safari pure plus AT . There is confusion due to the reliability issues with tata. could you please provide your feedback on this purchase of tata and also provide another alternate option as well for a proper 7 seater suv ? Monthly average 10 k km and budget is < 30 L . Tata Safari is a great 7-seater SUV. Tata has been originally known had a bad reputation for reliability but over the years they have strategically improved the quality and reliability of the cars. We would also suggest that you can also consider Toyota Innova Crysta as a good option. You can also check other 7-seater SUV cars here: https://staging.autocarindia.com/cars/7-seater-cars-in-india

Asked by: Aditya I want to buy a punchy powerfull car with space under 12 lakhs I am upgrading my swift dzire 2014 zdi i want more powerfull car than this one If you're upgrading from a Swift Dzire ZDi and want a punchier, more powerful car with good space under ₹12 lakhs, consider compact SUVs like the Tata Nexon or Kia Sonet turbo-petrol variants — they offer significantly better performance and a commanding drive. These models also come with modern features, improved safety, and a noticeable upgrade in road presence and cabin space.
