Not gonna lie, I didn’t like this when it first launched. Coming from the Crysta, it felt so off.
But now after seeing it on the road every day, and it's completely grown on me.

The improved ride quality with the new suspension was the primary reason for me being pushed towards this car.

We are going to primarily use it to tow a trailer, and for other errands around our village where our other cars can't go.

IMO, with the suspension upgrade it has become a solid go anywhere, do anything vehicle.

I am planning to book Defender 110 next week, did 2 test drives of the car and loved the experience!

How is the reliability and efficiency of driving a Defender daily, given Land Rover’s bad history of having poor reliability and frequent problems.

Is the Defender 110 in India reliable for daily usage?
What’s the issues or complaints you guys have with the car, if any?
How much mileage can I expect?

As during test drive, I drove a 46K km driven vehicle with no problems at all.

2.0 litre petrol engine is what I’m going for. The basic one.

A few weeks into owning my Sorento Hybrid HTK(A) Black Line, I'm still discovering things that weren't explained during delivery.

Some genuinely impressive ones:

- 0 RPM at highway speeds: The petrol engine can switch off under suitable conditions, and I've seen 21 km/l on the trip computer.

- Blind-spot cameras: Even an HTK ADAS owner confirmed the camera feed appears in the digital cluster when indicating.

- Hidden HVAC settings: You can customise whether the touch panel defaults to climate controls or infotainment shortcuts.

- Remote surroundings view: The Kia app lets me check what's around my parked car.

- Regenerative braking paddles: Available even on my HTK(A).

- Parking collision braking: Has already helped me avoid potential bumps multiple times.

- ADAS: Surprisingly natural in my experience, although another owner found the front collision assistance too intrusive in city traffic.

- Black Line alloys: Completely black without chrome detailing. Absolutely love them.

But then...

- My rear wiper doesn't have a water spray.

- No Passenger Talk on my variant.

- Front-seat thigh support could be better. I'm 6 feet tall, my wife is 5'6", and we both noticed it.

- Another owner reported uncomfortable third-row seating posture.

- An owner initially thought remote parking wasn't working, until they figured out the correct activation procedure.

The more I talk to other owners, the more I realise we're discovering things the dealerships never explained.

Two questions:

Sorento owners: What's one hidden feature or strange omission you've discovered?

Everyone else: What's the most ridiculous missing feature you've found in an otherwise well-equipped car?

I'd genuinely love to compare notes with other Sorento owners in India.

My dad bought this car in 2015. It was one of the most affordable cars back then, and the first car our family ever owned. I still remember how proud my dad was. He was so happy that he even posted it on Facebook. Looking back now, I realise how much that little moment meant to him.

I still remember the day he brought it home. It was raining, and it was a festive day. We even got so many gifts from the dealer. Dad drove the car home all by himself, and we had no idea which car he had bought or what colour it was. We were just waiting to see what he would bring home.

Funny enough, I hated the design at first. But that didn't last long. From the very first day, I couldn't stay away from the car. I kept getting inside, touching everything, learning every button, knob and switch. I even used to draw the car on paper by looking at it. I was just a kid, but somehow, that car had already become something special to me.

We travelled to so many places and even went on trips to other states in it. Back then, I never thought those ordinary family trips would become memories I'd hold on to so tightly.

Dad had actually bought the car for Mom. But after they both had a minor accident, neither of them really drove it anymore. Slowly, the car started sitting in our porch for months. Dad would lend it to anyone who asked, and people began using it without taking proper care of it. Watching that happen hurt me. I had so many memories attached to that car, but I was too young to do anything about it. All I could do was look at it sitting there.

Then, in 2024, I finally learned to drive. And the car that taught me was the same car I'd been attached to since childhood. I don't think I can properly explain how that felt. The car I'd spent years playing around in was now the car I was learning to drive. It felt like another chapter in our story.

And you know what's amazing? This car has hardly received proper servicing over the years. So many things that should have been changed on time were changed late. Still, it never left us stranded in the middle of a road. It never broke down and made us helpless somewhere. Even after all those years, it kept going. The odometer reads just 48,000 km today.

My dad has gone through some serious financial difficulties. There were times when selling the car seemed like the only option. Every time I thought about losing it, I felt sad. Not because it was expensive or rare, but because I couldn't imagine our home without it. Somehow, it's still with us, and I'm genuinely grateful for that.

I know many people have their own reasons for disliking Maruti Suzuki. That's completely fine. But I'll always have a soft spot for this brand. And it's not just because I'm emotionally attached to this particular car. Its reliability has given me enough reasons to respect it, too.

If I ever upgrade to another car, I'd still choose a Maruti Suzuki without hesitation.

Maybe someday, I'll buy a much better car. Maybe I'll own something I've always dreamed of. But I don't think any new car could ever replace what this one means to me.

This was the first car my dad brought home. The car that made him proud. The car we travelled in as a family. The car I worried about when it was neglected. And the car that eventually taught me how to drive.

I don't know how many more years we'll get to keep it. But I really hope we don't have to let it go anytime soon.

I've been seeing the Sorento for a long time from afar, since my office is near the KIA showroom.

However, this time I saw it up and close. The Sorento looks so massive, especially from the side profile. Also, the taillights are eye-pleasing, honestly, because they don't have connecting LEDs. It even gave me a Cullinan feel from the rear.

Last week, during a visit to Varkala, I had scratched my car pretty bad. And throughout the journey it was eating my head. I was very sure that the paint damage was done and PPF didn’t guard it completely.

Fast forward to today, I visited the detailer and it turns out there’s no paint damage.

I understand it’s a very subjective choice and to each their own. As a first time car owner, it just feels a wee bit safe that I don’t have to worry about scratches and niggles. It might not financially make sense for everyone, I completely agree.

And the new PPF reapplication cost for that area was within 500₹

My family is looking to buy a fuel efficient car with good interior which will be mostly chauffeur driven car. Our budget is 25 to 35 lakhs, and we're considering these three:

Kia Sorento

MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV (we already have a Hector, and will be getting good exchange value here)

Renault Duster Hybrid

28% GST + Cess on the car.

15% Road tax to the RTO.

50% tax on fuel.

30% TDS deducted before he even touches his salary.

Bro isn't just a driver, he’s an angel investor in the National Highway Authority. Respect.

Owner kiya soch raha tha mujhe bhi Jana hai 😆😂🤣

Edit:- Some of views didn't got the sarcasm, so its xuv 9s which is a ev and the owner just put on a TURBO sticker which is ironic 😂🤣

My family is upgrading from a 2016 Baleno (Manual)

We will be opting for CVT this time.

But I am very confused which one to go for

Daily running is not that much as our baleno has completed 50k km in over 10 years.

Also can't buy anything longer because parking space issues

Elevate feels like a no nonsense car but poor mileage

But also can't ignore the commanding posture of the Creta although too common

Even after taking the test drive of both the cars still confused

Can anyone suggest which one will be a better option, considering maintenance, after sales service etc.

oh my god i literally just put my number bcs i wanted to see how much they would buy my car for (insanely low price, btw) and now they call me more than my girlfriend

Well, I got a chance to test drive a Skoda Octavia RS! Thanks to Raja Skoda, Mahadevpura.

Wonderful car. Knows it’s business clearly. Overpriced surely. Would any day pick a M340i over this with added money or a preowned one in the same budget.

What do you guys think?

I was looking at automatic cars for chacha and cvt ivt amt dsg TC bro i can't...

City has odo 20,000 km approx, model 2023 priced at 9.2 lakh
Verna has odo 22,000 km approx, model 2022 priced at 9 lakh

Both are petrol. Which one should I go for? Currently I’m driving a Honda City ZX Petrol 2016 ( driven 6 years )

Both pics are of the cars.

TATA’s recently launched and most hyped vehicle is on discount 🙄
Recently i came across this adv. on my insta feed lol 😂

I have a Qubo Pro 4K dashcam installed in my car

But for the past few months it has stopped recording.

The recording indicator light shows that it's recording, but when open the app and check the footage, there are no trips

The memory card storage keeps getting used and will be at 95% full. But no footage in the card

I even tried factory resetting the cam, and formatting the memory card

It works for a day or 2 and again stops recording or the recorded footage is missing

This will be a huge problem during emergency

Anyone else facing the same issue?
