Skoda Octavia or Hyundai Tucson: which car, SUV to buy under Rs 35 lakh?

-
Hyundai Tucson front quarter

I am planning to buy a car within a budget of Rs 35 lakh, on-road. I have shortlisted the Hyundai Tucson and Skoda Octavia, although I am more inclined towards the Octavia L&K. I am waiting to see if Skoda decides to pull the plug due to RDE norms. Is it the right decision? The Tucson is a credible product, but the petrol engine lacks lustre.

Tushar Sharma, Gandhinagar

Autocar India says: We have reported that Skoda is definitely discontinuing both the Octavia and Superb with the implementation of RDE norms. So if you wait, chances are there will be no Octavia in the market. Our advice would be to snap up the Octavia before it is sold out and discontinued because there is simply no other alternative to it. The Tucson petrol, as you said, is lacklustre in comparison to the Octavia’s brilliant 2.0 TSI engine, and the overall drive feel of the Skoda is far superior too.

BMW has taken the wraps off its most powerful M3 ever, the F80 M3 CS, which is even more powerful than the BMW M3 competition. The BMW M3 CS will be sold in sedan bodystyle only and in limited numbers worldwide.  BMW M3 sedan gets 550hp twin-turbo petrol Does 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds Gets BMW’s xDrive AWD tech with selectable RWD BMW M3 CS: design and interior  The M3 CS is set apart from the M3 Competition visually by a raft of design tweaks, such as an angrier-looking, open front grille designed to match the front end of BMW’s GT4-spec M4 racer. Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler. It gets special V-spoke gold wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear – shod with track-focused tyres.

Toyota ’s Hyundai Creta -rivalling Urban Cruiser Hyryder gets two powertrain options – a strong hybrid and a mild hybrid, with the latter offered with a 6-speed automatic and a 5-speed manual gearbox. The mild-hybrid manual powertrain is also available with an all-wheel-drive option. We put the hybrid and the AWD version through our instrumented real-world fuel efficiency tests to find out how it performs in the real world. 1.Strong hybrid’s efficiency is almost twice as good 2.Ambient temperatures affect hybrid’s mileage 3.Mild-hybrid’s 6-speed gearbox would have enhanced highway efficiency What is the real world fuel efficiency of the Toyota Hyryder? The hybrid version’s petrol engine runs an efficient Atkinson cycle, hence, as expected, the numbers are substantially higher than the standard version. In our instrumented tests, the hybrid returned a staggering 20.28kpl in the city and 22.85kpl on the highway. What’s interesting is that the numbers are quite the opposite to w
