Go for the Kia Seltos IVT. It is based on a newer platform than the Creta and is bigger inside and out. For your usage and ownership plan, it is the sensible choice. The 1.5 naturally aspirated petrol paired with the IVT is smooth, reliable and well suited to city driving, and as you mentioned, the Kia has the extra features you want. While it does cost more, it does give you more for the money. The Creta is also due for a full model change in 2027, so you are buying a car that is closer to the end of its lifecycle, but that is not a deal breaker given Hyundai's strong aftersales support and the fact that the mechanical package is proven and reliable.

We would strongly advise against installing an aftermarket CNG kit on your Kia Seltos HTK iMT. This Kia car uses a direct injection turbocharged petrol engine, which isn't well suited to aftermarket CNG conversions. The iMT gearbox adds another layer of complexity, as the system relies on precise engine and clutch control, and CNG conversions could affect drivability and calibration. More importantly, Kia does not offer a factory CNG option on the Seltos, so any conversion would void your warranty and introduce reliability risks. If your running has increased significantly, it would be more sensible to replace your Seltos with a diesel car or consider a factory CNG model where the engine and fuel system are designed to work together from the factory.

Go for the new Kia Seltos. Your usage is just 5-8km a day, you are chauffeur-driven, and you want a car no bigger than the Seltos because of narrow streets and potholes. The Seltos fits that brief perfectly. It is a well-rounded SUV with a premium cabin, good ride comfort and a strong feature set. More importantly, it is a new car with a full warranty and predictable ownership costs, which matters over a five-year ownership period.The second-hand luxury car idea is tempting, but maintenance costs can be unpredictable. The Seltos will be easier to live with, cheaper to maintain and better suited to your daily routine.You have already ruled out the Duster/Tekton and VW/Skoda options, so the Seltos is the right choice. With limited running, the 1.5 NA petrol with either the IVT or the manual should suit you best. Just pick the variant that gives you the features you want without stretching the budget unnecessarily.

If you want a new car immediately, go for the Kia Seltos diesel automatic. Since you already own a 2017 Creta diesel automatic, the Seltos will feel like a proper upgrade with a more premium cabin, better feature set and a fresher overall package. The Seltos and Creta share the same 1.5 diesel engine and 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, so the driving experience will be familiar, but the Seltos feels more upmarket and better finished inside.The Hyundai Creta is still a very good car, but with a new generation expected early 2027, it is not the best time to buy one. The Seltos was updated just a few months ago, so you are getting a much newer product. Of course, if you can wait, the new Creta will feature everything that the Seltos offers, and compared to the outgoing version, it'll feel far more modern.

The Hyundai Verna HX6 IVT is better equipped, and it has a larger boot than the Seltos. If you do a lot of airport runs, this is the better option. And being a sedan, it will feel nicer to drive than the Kia car, and it is likely to be more efficient too.Pick the Kia Seltos HTK IVT for its elevated driving position, more modern interior, and high ground clearance. Also, the Seltos will be easier for the elderly to get in and out. Overall, it will feel a bit nicer and comfier; hence, it is the one we'd recommend.
