Asked by: Amit I own honda amaze .. i want to buy new car.. In my city i got suzuki invicto alpha+ (top varient) cheaper 3 lakh than hycross vx… wich should i buy.. If you're getting the Suzuki Invicto Alpha+ for ₹3 lakh less than the Toyota Hycross VX, it offers excellent value with similar space, comfort, and strong hybrid tech. However, if brand reputation, long-term resale value, and a more premium interior matter more to you, the Hycross VX could justify the extra cost.

Asked by: Hari Verna 2019 petrol automatic, planing to change to Kylaq automatic with 16' wheel model for a good ride quality. Usage will be city daily 35kms and monthly highway run of 1000kms. Please suggest. Or should I go for a diesel vehicle? Don't want to spend much on car as they are very expensive these days. Considering your daily city commute and occasional highway drives, the Kylaq automatic with 16" wheels should offer a comfortable ride and is a sensible upgrade from the Verna. Since your usage isn’t excessively high, a petrol variant remains more cost-effective and easier to maintain than diesel in the long run.

Asked by: Bharath Reddy Will the Ford Everest,Skoda kodiaq Rs ever be launched in India?…if not would the Mg majestor be a choice to buy or should one wait untill next year?…pls suggest The Ford Everest and Skoda Kodiaq RS are unlikely to launch in India anytime soon, so waiting for them may not be practical. The MG Majestic offers strong value and features for its segment, making it a good choice if you need a premium SUV now — otherwise, waiting until next year could bring more options from established players.

Asked by: Kriteesh wadhwa Current Verna spec is 1.5L MT D. Will age per the govt. in 6 years. Happy with it. How to keep for longer. Ideal car for wife needed, ideal would be i20 (costlier and less safer) or Altroz (reliability issues i feel with tata) Should I buy a big petrol car given my diesel would age soon? Budget <18L. Hyundai preferred. Maruti is a NO. Since your Verna diesel will face age-related restrictions in 6 years, it makes sense to plan ahead—either by maintaining it well for city use or considering an early switch. For long-term peace of mind, a petrol Hyundai like the Creta or i20 N Line could be a balanced upgrade under ₹18L, offering reliability and future readiness.
