Hello.

I americium presently a arrogant proprietor of Honda City IVTECH 2013 model. The car has mostly worked precise good for maine for the past 11+ years, present looking for an upgrade. Typical tally is 8000-10000 kms per year. It volition beryllium driven by maine and I person a household of 5 people. Mostly successful the Delhi-NCR country with occasional road tours.

My archetypal emotion person been sedan cars, but alas, determination are nary sedan cars disposable successful the 25-40 lacs budget.

I considered the sub-20 lacs conception but recovered City to beryllium the champion amongst them keeping comfort, mileage, reliability successful mind. Ignored that conception altogether arsenic I don't privation to support driving City for different 10 years positive wanted to person a consciousness bully origin of an upgrade.

I went supra to 40+ lacs category; considered

• Camry: Very reliable and comfy but the features look rather outdated for the price. Also, it is strictly 4-seater owed to large cardinal tunnel

• Merc A200: Quite cramped. Just did not consciousness similar getting into luxury class with a impractical and implicit priced product.

• BMW 2-series: Same arsenic Merc A200

Next I considered the SUVs, did not privation to spell with Diesel options and reliability, mileage, regular attraction being a interest ruled retired astir of the options. I truly liked Hycross but determination is simply a waiting for 1.5 years (they are not adjacent taking ZX, ZX(O) bookings astatine the moment) and I bash not mean to hold for that long. Also, I did not similar the cognition of the section dealer, they were conscionable discouraging maine to see Hycross and were pushing for either Hyryder oregon Camry. It was a large put-off. I americium unfastened to see XUV 700 petrol though but unaware of the waiting play determination positive I americium yet to instrumentality a trial drive.

A person advised maine excessively cheque retired EVs too. Though my yearly tally is not precise precocious but I person a brushed country for them. Also, I program to clasp my City done its remaining beingness of 3+ years. Considered

• BYD Atto 3: Liked the plan but recovered suspension hard to my comfortableness levels. Unsure of prime of interior worldly and Chinese marque is different concern

• BYD Seal: Looks stunning but debased crushed clearance. Dont privation to support that hassle. Chinese marque is different concern.

• Ioniq 5: Absolutely loved it. Good abstraction and features. Currently apical of caput but small costly for my budget.

I cognize I americium looking into each benignant of options close present but purchasing a ~40 lacs conveyance which I mean to support for 10+ years is simply a large determination and I privation to debar buyer's remorse later.

I look guardant to getting immoderate thoughts and suggestions from the community.

Thanks successful advance.

Simple reasoning arsenic per my idiosyncratic acquisition and choice:

Love pushing the car on the corners and emotion driving with a sporty experience, past it's the sedan.

Love touring on the state broadside and loading the car with dense stuff. Also person to instrumentality galore radical on and person to thrust retired skirts past it is the SUV.

But besides request to show-off your calibure, past you request to prime a luxury SUV.

If your question is excessively less, that is little than 25 km per day, prime a petrol. If your question is much than 55-60 km per time that tin got upto 100 kms, past prime a diesel oregon Hybrid. If your useage is successful the middle, past electrical is optimal.
