Knowing us Indians, I'm sure the ROXX is the winner but to be completely brutally honest, it doesn't deserve it. It's comfortable, but there are more comfortable cars. It's actually not as spacious as I expected. I'm 6 ft 2 and the Seltos felt more spacious inside despite this being physically larger. Now, you can't just say Car of the Year just because it can go offroading. 90% of the buyers will not even go on muddy roads in them. Personally, the Windsor deserves it more. It's more comfortable and has more space while offering more features at a lower price.
Punch.EV(10k kms) - Perfect City car, but maintain 60-70kmph on highways with cruise control and Regen L2 and 38psi with AC on, real world range easily hovers around 400
Citroén Basalt has to be. Long car with a good price tag and with a usp of drive comfort, super soft suspension and torqui engine giving 201 nm of torque with this price point is a treat for eye and pure driving plush pleasure. After honda and vw I realike the way it drive overall. My voge is for Citroén Basalt undoubtedly
Thar Roxx. Unmistakably the Indian car. Big suv with loads of room, comfortable for a family and for road trips. Petrol as well as diesel along with rwd or 4x4. Plethora of options to choose from for a single car which ticks almost every box for Indian conditions. Not to mention the spot on pricing
The car of the year should either be a standout in certain areas or be competent across all. For these reasons, my picks will the be the TATA curve EV and the Suzuki Swift. The TATA curve EV really tries to be the best EV out there. The Swift on the other hand just ticks all the boxes: its fun to drive, its fuel efficient, its got an adequate amount of features and its affordable. I cannot choose the Dzire as it is based on the Swift. I give the Thar Roxx second place because while its undoubtedly a capable SUV, it is not a city friendly car. The body on frame chassis cannot compare to the comfort offered by a monocoque chassis.
Autocar India s lined up a nice diverse mix of cars for the year. Nostalgic to see the jury - Narrain k, Shapur and Kriplani. In fact Kriplani's 650i convertible review from more than a decade ago still comes to mind. Wish the Ford Everest had launched in time for this year's award.
Thar ROXX. 1. Safest ICE car in India. 2. Features are best in the segment. 3. Powerful engines. 4. Hard-core off roading capabilities. 5. Way better ride and handling than 3 door Thar.
Mahindra had outdone themselves... Thar Roxx is a clear winner in terms of features, practicality, ride and handling. Took test drive and fell in love with this car. Booked one, eagerly waiting for its arrival
I was walking around in Delhi NCR, I saw a CITREON SHOWROOM there , i drove one of their car Aircross. I fell in love when I drove that beast 😍. I bought in May 2024 i drove almost 15k kilometres so far . Average overall (in city - 16kmpl and highway almost 24 kmpl average speed 75kmph in 5th gear ) . Comfort is so cool. Handling, mechanical engineering, steering control blah blah blah ,,,, dang I don't have any words anymore . Jo bhai b car enthusiast hai usko ek baar test drive Leni chaiye or agar mechanical engineering se Jayda features ache lage to mat jana 😅😅
Thar ROXX 🎉❤😅 Always a very special delight to Indians from the automobile industry! Now you consider the onboarding of jimny in the race .... With your valuable feedback. And warm congratulations to the autocar team for doing your all best to justify the best breed in the automobile industry, helping the people to understand much better and easy at its best. AUTOCAR❤
My vote( based on cars that can bring a significant change in the market): BE 6E (Luxury, Dolby sound) Dzire (mileage and safety rating) Amaze (ADAS on a budget)
I Have 2 MG cars, and I'm very satisfied and proud on my self for choosing MG they offer everything that other brands are lacking, and most important is comfort.
Dzire, 5 star, more efficient, easy to maintain, will definitely be the largest seller, high resale value, everyone is looking for a 5 star maruti car, middle class people dream car with all the options ticked
3XO seems like a good overall car. Roxx comes a close second but there are better options than thar in the competition for those who want an urban focused vehicle than pure offroading. So for me the winner is 3xo
Basalt unfortunately while is gaining praises all around, only sold 54 units in November. Customers need the bells and whistles before they start considering it seriously.
Everything is fine, but I just can't stand the fact that sedans have vanished from the Indian market. All these SUV's are practical yet I personally miss those good old Sedans
Curvv giving all possible powertrains, is a more balanced package than either Thar or BE6E. Would rate Nexon ev as the best though. Someone spearheaded the coupe and the EV market and the rest just followed.

3 months after launch, no sign of the dca hyperion on the curvv.
Mahindra got the Hype 🗿, Suzuki got the sales 💀 and Tata got Jaguar ☠️

Citroën Basalt and MG windsor, no doubt
Car of the Year: Citroen Basalt.😊
Much better cars than that
If XEV 9e and BE 6e were included then there will be no competition.
TBH 2024 was really good year when compared to last year.
💯
Windsor EV deserve it.. people have shown immense amount of love to this EV😍
Punch EV
Great Package. Convenient city car and it takes everything on its stride
Windsor is objectively way better
Thar ROXX will be the winner

PERFORMANCE SUV 😎✊️: 5 DOOR MAHINDRA THAR ROXX 2024-2025
Roxx. Because they went all in on the ladder frame in 2024 and it has really paid off.
Ps: Happy owner 🖤
Citroën Basalt or Force Gurkha... In my opinion, of course
Thar ROXX.
1. Safest ICE car in India.
2. Features are best in the segment.
3. Powerful engines.
4. Hard-core off roading capabilities.
5. Way better ride and handling than 3 door Thar.
Mahindra ROXX car of the year
My vote will go to Swift Dzire
New Magnite>>>>>>❤
Car of the year- That ROXX
I will definitely say Windsor is most worth it and deserving car for this Award🤩
Car of the year: Mahindra Thar ROXX
Mahindra had outdone themselves... Thar Roxx is a clear winner in terms of features, practicality, ride and handling. Took test drive and fell in love with this car. Booked one, eagerly waiting for its arrival
Honda elevate should get car of the year award
My choice would be Thar Roxx very nicely designed.

Dzire and Roxx maybe new cars technically...but the winner should be a fresh newly born car.
My vote( based on cars that can bring a significant change in the market):
BE 6E (Luxury, Dolby sound)
Dzire (mileage and safety rating)
Amaze (ADAS on a budget)
I Have 2 MG cars, and I'm very satisfied and proud on my self for choosing MG
they offer everything that other brands are lacking, and most important is comfort.
Thar roxx🔥
How about Byd emax 7 ?
Car of the middle class family - mahindra XUV 3xo
Thar Roxx is a beast but XUV 3XO 1.5 Diesel Manual❤❤❤❤ Mahindra BE 6E might break few awards in next year❤
Mahindra Thar ROXX is a winner 🎉
Windsor EV is a good pick for the car of the year 😍😍
Dzire, 5 star, more efficient, easy to maintain, will definitely be the largest seller, high resale value, everyone is looking for a 5 star maruti car, middle class people dream car with all the options ticked
I love the Thar Roxx and. It is my Dream car to buy
Mahindra will win ❤❤
Thar Roxx in my opinion 😊
Space is very good in Windsor EV!! Personally I like this car so much...Range is good and very good road presence and very tech savvy car.
Dzire. If Maruti can get all its cars 4 or 5 star rating, tough for others to challenge
Agreed. They finally listened
Surprise to hear some negative comments on BMW. Anyways my pick from the lot will be Thar Roxx and Citroen Basalt
VFM: MARUTI SUZUKI SWIFT DZIRE 2024-2025 The Indian ALL ROUNDER BASANTI CAR 😍
Over all for the money PUNCH ev is the best , my thoughts are also with punch ev❤
3XO seems like a good overall car. Roxx comes a close second but there are better options than thar in the competition for those who want an urban focused vehicle than pure offroading. So for me the winner is 3xo
Roxx seems the best of the lot.
Windsor EV deserves an award 😍😍
Citreon ❤️
Basalt unfortunately while is gaining praises all around, only sold 54 units in November. Customers need the bells and whistles before they start considering it seriously.
Thar Roxx
Basalt, Dzire and Roxx
13:41 - Mercedes-EQS ❤
Yes windsor with Baas model is very innovative and good vfm...Styling and luxe feel. 😀😀
Mercedes E-Class
Maruti Suzuki Dzire
Everything is fine, but I just can't stand the fact that sedans have vanished from the Indian market. All these SUV's are practical yet I personally miss those good old Sedans
Car of the New Dzire.
Where is alcazar?
Pay attention to the initial part of the video.. 😂
In showrooms...🥹
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Also the new creta n line as well
Considering Swift for this shortlist is just atrocious. It barely got any changes and has a weaker engine than before.
Citroen basalt... Complete package (features don't make or break a car)
Force Gurkha❤
Just love your team #AUTOCARINDIA ❤
Mahindra 3XO
Thar roxx is the winner
My choice is Basalt
Really liked all the cars launched this year
MG Windsor 👍
Thar ROXX Just Rocks
Curvv giving all possible powertrains, is a more balanced package than either Thar or BE6E. Would rate Nexon ev as the best though. Someone spearheaded the coupe and the EV market and the rest just followed.
In EV segment Windsor
It would be the Mahendra Thar Roxx
Punch EV should win it, given the ride quality and price alone
It's Thar ROXX , Perfect package 📦
Mahendra Thar Roxx 😊
Tata Punch EV
citroen basalt and mg windsor
Car of the year obviously THE 5 😊
Designing wise BMW they come up with lots of love to their customers ❤❤❤❤
Car of the year Mahindra 3x0
Swift Dzire
My vote is thar roxx
Upcoming All cars in India should compulsory pass BNCAP test before selling them
How many of you agree??
Need a long video, this is too short 😢.
Tata Curv should be given the Award this time because next time Mahindra would grab it for XEV 9E
tata curvv & ev
XEV 9E is clear winner.
2024 hyundai exter 🎉
2025 3xo? Dezire?
Gurkha ❤
My pick would be the new Dzire.
roxx
I think car of the year is going to be tata curve ev
Lol😂😂
MG Windsor is the best form all perspective.
EQS SUV - All day, everyday
