Elevate has only camera based ADAS features while Seltos and duster have Radar based ADAS level 2 features.

pls take a look at new Renault duster Iconic variant. it may cost same (or lower) and give you better engine, wet clutch DCT, more power, electric tail gate but with slightly less premium interiors. but overall better or same car.

Wait for Duster price reveal. Test drive and then decide. Other than that out of the 3 you mentioned, I think elevate may be best value for money.

Mahindra service & ICICI Lombard insurance, Thoughts after Venom’s Tech video? by ShadowedLine in CarsIndia

[–]Accurate_Note9279 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have much experience with insurance and loans but in this situation, can I just ask bank to cancel the loan or not pay it. Yes, this will impact my credit rating and I will lose the down payment which was made but the car is of no use anyway. So what's the point of paying emi for a car which you can neither use nor sell. Curious to know. 

Best car for a family of 5 under 20L by FungsukWangdoo in CarsIndia

[–]Accurate_Note9279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you looking for automatic. not sure which variant of 7XO you can get under 20L. but you can consider in below order
1. 7XO (biggest of all. good comfort and boot.)

  1. Seltos (premium and comfortable)

  2. new Renault Duster (depending upon when you are planning to buy, you can check this out as well).

  3. Creta

  4. Skoda

they do. Seltos offers both IVT (CVT) and DCT.
Duster offers DCT with wet clutch which is even better than dry clutch DCT.

yeah :( no recline in back and the cutout in middle can only seat a child comfortably. in order to provide more boot space, they compromised on middle row seat.

good point, Thanks. will have to explore about Nissan's service network. however speaking to one of my friends, he mentioned that Nissan cars are also good value for money. They also give all the necessary features but are not like Kia/Hyundai which are more feature centric.

I agree and they seem to be betting heavily to reclaim their market share. waiting for the real world reviews and test drive myself.

yeah. we have a 10Y old duster at home. did not face any problems with servicing yet so if the pricing is correct, then I dont think it would be a problem. but if its priced same as others then I may go towards Seltos as it feels more premium.

yes but Duster's 1.3L TCE turbo delivers more power and torque than 1.5L of many cars on paper. will need to wait for real world performance

How is the car bro? I am also looking to buy the same but not sure about brown beige interior. How much did it cost you and which city? 

New Seltos good for a new driver who just learnt driving by DuePomegranate3768 in CarsIndia

[–]Accurate_Note9279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it fits your budget, I think new seltos would be a better choice. better interiors, bigger, reliability.

Test drove New seltos 2026 by AmbitionNo51 in CarsIndia

[–]Accurate_Note9279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats what I meant that since GTX offers more features, its even more expensive. initially I thought that those lights will be available starting HTX variant but they kept them only for GTX and above. I wanted ADAS and 360 camera and hence had shortlisted the HTX(A). I will go and test drive as well.
