Since you are planning to buy only in 2028, there is little reason to compromise on a car that does not meet your requirements today. The upcoming Hyundai compact EV, which will sit in the Punch EV/Nexon EV space, is particularly worth waiting for. It is expected to be a compact, city-friendly SUV with modern features, and Hyundai has already confirmed Level 2 ADAS and a new-generation infotainment system.Maruti Suzuki is also working on smaller products. The Hustler-based compact SUV has been reported for around 2027, while the eWX-based affordable EV is expected around 2027–28. However, the exact specifications, pricing and launch timelines are still not confirmed.

We would either Since you are coming from a Hyundai Creta, the Kia Syros EV is worth considering as it offers a more premium experience while still having a surprisingly spacious cabin despite its smaller exterior dimensions. This Kia car is also more comfortable than the MG Windsor, both in terms of ride quality and seating comfort. Its compact dimensions should also make it easier to manoeuvre in the city.The Windsor EV remains a strong alternative if maximum cabin space is the priority. Its spacious and airy interior make it a practical family electric car, and it would be a natural choice if you want to retain the sense of space you are used to in the Creta.

In this price bracket, the Hyundai i20 IVT and Honda Amaze CVT are among the smoothest automatics, and both have reasonably well-equipped variants within your budget. The i20’s IVT is the smoother gearbox, particularly in stop-and-go traffic, making it a very easy car to live with for short-distance city driving.The Amaze CVT is the better choice if you want more space and a large boot, especially for those occasional highway trips. It also has a relaxed, comfortable character and remains a good long-term family car.

The Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi AT is the better fit for this brief. The naturally aspirated petrol engine is efficient and reliable; the torque converter automatic is smooth and proven, and Maruti's service network is unmatched. The Brezza also offers a spacious cabin with good rear seat comfort and a practical boot, making it a strong family car. Safety is well addressed too, with a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating.The Hyundai Venue HX5/6 is a good alternative with a more premium cabin feel and a slightly more refined overall package. However, the Brezza's wider service network and lower long-term maintenance costs give it the edge for your requirements.

Yes, it is worth waiting. Hyundai has now confirmed that its new compact EV, codenamed HE1i, will debut by the end of 2026. It will sit below the Creta Electric and compete with the Punch EV, Nexon EV, XUV 3XO EV and Syros EV. It will also get standard- and long-range versions.The interesting part for you is pricing. Current expected pricing puts the Hyundai at roughly Rs 10–14 lakh in Delhi, depending on the battery/variant, although these are still estimates and not Hyundai's official prices.So if your ceiling is around Rs 15 lakh, there is a good chance the Hyundai will fit, including a higher-spec version. It should also be more spacious and better suited to your requirements than the Punch EV.
