The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder are bigger cars and will certainly feel like a bigger step up over your outgoing vehicle, as far as ride comfort or performance goes. Both share their 1.5-litre petrol engine and 5-speed manual gearbox. This powertrain is smooth, refined and quite efficient too. Between the two, pick the one that appeals to you more in terms of design. Another deciding factor between the two is the colour of the interior - Vitara gets a brown interior, while Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder will get a black cabin.
The outgoing Maruti Suzuki Dzire, however, might not feel like a huge upgrade over the third-generation 2017 Dzire, which you currently own. What works in its favour, however, are its excellent fuel-efficiency, as well as the premium features, like sunroof, 360-degree camera and wireless charging, all of which are available in the top variants. Given that the SUV options fall within your budget, go for them instead.
