Mercedes EQE SUV long term review, 11,000km report

It was one of those perfect drives, a rare window of relative emptiness on India’s busiest highway. A mid-morning dash to the BU Bhandari showroom for the launch of the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 was the easiest Mumbai-Pune trip I’ve done in a long time. Making the drive particularly relaxing was the new addition to Autocar India’s fleet, the all-electric Mercedes EQE SUV, which got its first highway outing.

It took just two hours and six minutes in the ultra-smooth (and quick) EQE SUV to go from the Autocar HQ to the BU Bhandari Showroom on the Pune bypass. That’s less than what many office folks take to get home on a typical working day in Mumbai. It does help that the AtalSetu has brought our office closer to the edge of Mumbai, and a 10:15am departure was a sweet spot (or time). The early-morning highway rush was over, the toll plazas had no long queues, and even the Lonavala Ghat, which is choked most of the day (and night) on Google Maps, was surprisingly ‘blue’. Traffic flowed without holdups, even on the steepest sections where trucks otherwise block all lanes while trying to ‘overtake’ at a crawl.

Strong and smooth powertrain effortlessly gobbles miles.

The Atal Setu is always a great place to try out the ADAS system on any car. The wide and perfectly marked lanes and the gentle curves on this 21km sea bridge were perfect for checking out the EQE SUV’s ‘Level 2’ ADAS capability. That meant letting the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), which I have set at 99kph (just below the 100kph speed limit), and the Lane Keep Assist do the work while I sat back and relaxed with just a light hand on the wheel, enjoying the harbour’s breathtaking views.

The Lane Keep Assist worked brilliantly, keeping the big Merc centred nicely in the fast lane. When changing lanes, I was impressed with how the ACC reacted smoothly. When you signal and shift into the overtaking lane, the ACC provides strong and linear acceleration without abrupt power surges to match the new lane’s speed.

Active Brake Assist activates at the slightest hint of an obstacle.

While the ADAS in the Mercedes EQE SUV is highly advanced, it has some limitations, especially when dealing with erratic drivers who slice across lanes like it’s a normal thing to do. If some idiot abruptly cuts into your lane from a sharp angle, the ADAS can struggle to react promptly. This is not the case with just the EQE SUV – no ADAS is fully capable of handling such unpredictable events, which is a reminder of why the tech can only assist and not replace the driver.

Mercedes’ Active Brake Assist, while a great safety feature on paper, can become a nuisance – and even a potential hazard – in Mumbai’s chaotic traffic. Designed for controlled environments, it doesn’t quite account for the unpredictability of pedestrians darting across roads or scooters weaving through tight gaps. The system often triggers unnecessarily, slamming on the brakes at the slightest hint of an obstacle. In such congested conditions, this overly sensitive response can be more dangerous than helpful. These fierce and abrupt stops are hugely unnerving for the passengers and could catch a driver behind you off guard, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. It’s best to switch the Brake Assist off, which you have to do every time you start the car.

The monsoons have made mincemeat of the Nhava Sheva road, which connects the Atal Setu to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and on such surfaces, the EQE SUV is out of its comfort zone. To be honest, it doesn’t quite live up to its SUV credentials and isn’t comfortable dropping in and out of potholes like its IC engine brethren. That’s because the softly sprung EQE SUV uses up its suspension travel quite easily, and deep ruts and craters crash through. In fact, it’s best to use ‘Sport’ drive mode as the default setting. The suspension feels overtly soft in Comfort and Normal modes, which is fine when you are crawling in rush hour, but up the pace a bit on even a slightly smooth road, and you’ll find the EQE SUV tends to wallow and feel floaty. In Sport mode, the suspension tightens nicely to give a more settled ride, which is what you want on the highway.

Wallows at speed because of soft suspension.

Two areas where the EQE SUV stands out are performance and range, and both are interlinked because, with great range, you can enjoy the performance without keeping an eye on the SOC meter.

Plant your foot down, and this big and heavy SUV lunges forward with an intensity that can take you aback but in a very pleasing way. The EQE SUV gathers with velvet smoothness, and before you know it, you’ve sailed past the speed limit. On the Mumbai-Pune expressway, which is now infested with speed cameras, it is hard not to get a speeding ticket. To stay out of trouble, I limit my indulgence to short jabs of the accelerator pedal just to enjoy all the 408hp and 858Nm of torque that puts most IC engine SUVs to shame.

I averaged 66kph on the 140km drive to BU Bhandari, which is pretty good if you consider that this included slow, non-expressway sections. Not that the expressway raises your average speed dramatically because with so many cameras staring at you, I’m forced to show a lot of restraint! With 332km range left, I didn’t need to use the Pune Mercedes dealers’ on-site 180kW fast charger, but it’s good to know that it’s there and that the dealership is happy to let non-Merc owners plug in as well. Located just off the Pune bypass, it’s an incredibly convenient place for EVs on a long-distance trip to Mahabaleshwar or beyond to quickly top up their batteries.

Phenomenal range eliminates range anxiety.

The return journey was equally uneventful. Using the regen down the Lonavala Ghat, I could extend the range even further, which, on this round trip, I calculated to be 504km. That is a truly impressive figure, considering how hard I was driving the EQE SUV. In fact, there was enough charge left in the battery (36 percent) for me to make another trip to Pune!

The other area where the EQE SUV shines is refinement. The EQE SUV is not just quiet; it’s like being inside a luxury vault on wheels. The adaptive air suspension noiselessly glides over any surface, and then there’s the acoustic insulation, which Mercedes has absolutely nailed. Road, tyre and wind noises, even the electric motor’s faint whir, are gone. The cabin is like a calm oasis, and that’s what makes the EQE SUV special. It is luxury in its most serene form.

Hyundai Tucson long term review, 23,000km report

The Tucson is something of an anomaly in the Autocar India long-term fleet because, somehow, it’s flown under the radar. And at first, I couldn’t figure out why. I checked our records. It’s been with us for almost a whole year, and we’ve put 11,000km on it. Yet, very few of the team drove it much or had a lot to say about it. I remember reviewing the Tucson at the media event back in 2022, and there’s a lot to love. So when I heard it would be returning to the Hyundai mothership, I quickly snapped up the keys for what would be its last stint with us. After spending some time with it, however, I soon realised why it changed hands so very often during its time with us.

But before we get to that, just look at it! No mainstream SUV, even a premium one like this, has any right to look this good. And even if the curves and cuts in the bodywork don’t fit your aesthetic, there’s no denying the amount of work that’s gone into it. It puts a smile on my face every time I lock or unlock it, and those trapezoidal LEDs light up like wings integrated into the grille. Even the fang-like LED tail-lamps are a work of art. Another detail I absolutely love is how the rear wiper is hidden under the spoiler, not only removing visual clutter but literal clutter, too, as it stays protected from dirt, leaves and other detritus. 

Wiper neatly concealed under spoiler gives a clean look and a cleaner wipe.

Inside, too, I don’t think even my own review gave enough credit to how forward in design and quality this is. Remember the old Tucson? It feels like a two-generational step back compared to this. And now, since we also have a Creta and an Ioniq 5 in our fleet, it’s easy to see the Tucson is far closer to the latter on the inside. They’ve found the perfect height for the freestanding digital driver’s display – it doesn’t block your view of the road, and the steering doesn’t block your view of it – and behind it, the horizontal band of AC vents flow seamlessly into the doors. On that subject, a simple but superb feature: the ‘diffuse’ function, which, coupled with auto climate control with three intensity settings, cools the car without blasting you in the face with a strong draft. 

Climate control’s diffuse setting cools cabin effectively without blasting you with cold air.

The interior is not without its foibles, though. The cream upholstery is well past its ‘stay clean’ date and has aged the interior far too quickly; you have to reset the drive mode and ADAS to your preferred setting every time you start the car; and I can only hope Hyundai will figure out wireless Android Auto by the next generation. And while the rear seat is huge, a lack of window blinds is a huge miss. There’s also an unidentifiable rattle from the parcel shelf that echoes around the big boot.

Cream coloured upholstery has long since turned brown.

Down to more mechanical things, the Tucson is nothing to write home about. The handsome wheels hide a clunky ride, the handling is easy but ponderous, and the turning circle is enormous. But really, it’s our Tucson’s powertrain that’s the big letdown because it’s the petrol version. Rather than going with a modern direct-injection turbo petrol, as is offered overseas, the Indian car uses the same old 2.0 MPI naturally aspirated petrol, allied to an equally antiquated 6-speed torque-converter automatic, as the old Tucson. 

Try as I did, I could only ever get it up to 6.4kpl on my traffic-heavy commute.

Apart from a generally underwhelming driving experience, it’s also resulted in the worst fuel economy we’ve experienced this side of a supercar. Forget double digits, the Tucson petrol struggles to get past 7kpl in city driving, which explains why none of my colleagues drove it for very long. The solution is simple (unless you live in the Delhi NCR, I suppose): opt for the diesel, which is superior in every conceivable way, including using a more modern 8-speed auto, and even an AWD option. Yes, the petrol version is several lakhs cheaper, but at the rate it drinks petrol, the costs would even out sooner than you think.

Fun fact: Hyundai was meant to swap our petrol Tucson with a diesel somewhere during the year but never did. Lord knows how many more kilometres it would have covered had they done that. But more to the point, more of us would certainly have spent a lot more time in what is otherwise one of the best premium SUVs in the market.

Tata Punch EV long term review, 7,000km report

I like big, flashy, ostentatious cars just as much as anyone else, but let’s be real. I live in Mumbai, where commutes are more accurately measured in time, not distance. The streets are small and crowded, traffic moves at a wheel-to-wheel crawl, and when it rains, the road surface starts to resemble Normandy Beach on D-Day. To tackle the first two obstacles, a small car is best, preferably an electric one that doesn’t emit fumes whilst it’s stuck in traffic. That’s why I loved our long-term MG Comet so very much. The latter issue, however, is best tackled with an SUV; something even an ardent sedan aficionado like myself will concede. Enter the Punch EV, which, in its first month alone – an arduous one during peak monsoon – has managed to fulfil that very specific list of requirements.

Ride quality is on par with SUVs two segments above.

Okay, it’s a size or two up on the Comet, but that’s not to say it’s large; it feels noticeably more compact than even the Nexon EV we ran in our fleet last year. You pay the price in the back seat, which doesn’t feel as spacious as even the Comet’s (one of the benefits of the MG’s boxy design and skateboard platform). But since I rarely have passengers, this is no bother. What’s most important is its small footprint in a traffic jam, and the ease with which you can park it just about anywhere in Mumbai. On that last point, I find myself relying more on the large rear-view mirrors, as the rear camera quality isn’t sharp. Its feed regularly fails, and during the monsoon, it’s often quickly caked in muck kicked up by the tyres.

Got a Critical Alert error, but it reset on its own.

With a potent 122hp in such a tiny package, performance feels almost excessive. While it was initially fun watching other motorists’ looks of surprise as a Punch scurried away from them when the lights turned green, these days I find myself staying away from Sport mode because it’s simply too strong for crowded city environs, and flooring it can cause alarming wheelspin. While Eco mode isn’t overtly dull, I’ve come to prefer City (or Normal) mode, which just feels a bit more effortless. What’s more, I’ve been playing around with the adjustable regen, done via paddle shifters behind the steering wheel; very premium. The ideal mix I’ve settled on for around town is City drive mode and Level 2 regen, which I think complement each other well. It also helped contribute to city efficiency of 6.9km/kWh, which translates to a potential 240km from its 35kWh battery.

Features list exceeds expectations for the class.

While I like that they’ve moved to the upmarket paddle-style regen mode selection, I’m disappointed they went back to the rotary dial for the gear selector; the Nexon EV has since moved on to a smart monostable lever. Yes, it’s cool that a colour screen shows you what drive state you’re in, but the shift is still slow and sometimes doesn’t happen at all. You have to look down to see if you’re in D or R every time – a huge frustration in the heat of the moment while making a three-point turn on a busy street, as I have to do it daily to get into my home. Moreover, we too experienced the ‘EV System Critical Alert’ error message, which is a known issue in Tata EVs. While the vehicle started up just fine, it would not lock, although the error subsequently disappeared on its own. Nonetheless, Tata was quick to collect the car for inspection. It’s also really annoying that the car alarm goes off if you exit the vehicle with the key, even for a few seconds while the car’s running, like to shut a gate, for example. My neighbours aren’t fans. 

Rotary drive selector is slow and erratic in operation.

But these are all things I’d be prepared to learn to work around for the overall package the Punch EV delivers. I’ve mentioned the powertrain already, but the ride quality is something that has to be experienced to believe. Forget compact SUVs, it’s safely on par with midsize SUVs two classes above, and the little Punch just crushes monsoon potholes without flinching. Then there’s the features list, which is so vast, you’d think Tata would’ve saved some stuff for its more expensive EVs. In fact, at the recent Curvv EV launch, I couldn’t help but chuckle when I realised most of its features were available in the Punch EV, too. 360-degree cameras with blind-view monitoring? Ventilated front seats? A sunroof? Connected tech? LED lighting? You don’t expect any of this in a sub-compact SUV.

Returned a very efficient 143wh/km or 6.9km/kWh.
 
There’s a lot more to talk about, so stay tuned for more reports in the coming months. For now, this seems like the perfect mix of compact and SUV, with the added bonus of electric power for the urban grind.

St Nikon Metanoite (“Repent!”) (~1000)

He was born about 930 to a pious and wealthy family near Trebizond. Once, making an inspection of the family's estates, he was so affected by the wretched conditions of the poor fieldworkers that he despaired of happiness in this world and determined to live a monastic life.   After years spent in a monastery, where he shone in obedience, prayer and self-denial, the Saint was given leave to travel in the ministry of the Gospel of Christ. For three years he wandered the East, without home or possessions, crying to everyone he met, "Repent!" and proclaiming with tears the message of salvation in Christ. He then spent seven years in Crete, then went to Greece, walking barefoot from place to place, preaching repentance and becoming so well known that he acquired the nickname "Metanoite," meaning "Repent!"   After driving a great plague from Sparta through his prayers, he settled near that city, building a great church dedicated to Christ the Savior, and living in the church for the remainder of his life. In time, a monastery was attached to the church for his disciples. His last counsel to his disciples was: "Flee pride, cleave to humility; do not despise the poor; keep clear of all evil, of all envy and of the remembrance of wrongs; forgive your brethren. Go regularly to church and confess your sins often to the priests and spiritual fathers. If you keep to these counsels, I will never abandon you." He then gave his soul back to God.   Saint Nikon was immediately venerated as a saint by the people of Sparta, and is regarded as the protector of the city, where his relics are venerated to this day.
