It largely boils down to the transmission you are opting for. If you are getting a manual, the turbo petrol is a better choice. It is smooth and tractable for city use and offers good performance for the uphill sections on your trips to Himachal. The manual is also slick, with a light clutch, so it is easy to drive in the city. However, an automatic will still make life a lot easier, and if that is what you want, then the NA petrol is your only option. As such, the 1.5-litre NA has decent performance for the hills, but it won't be as effortless as the turbo petrol. The NA will, however, be a bit more efficient in the city. Both engines are reliable, and Maruti service is generally very good.Overall, if you are regularly driving in heavy traffic, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza automatic is the obvious choice. However, if you are picking the manual, you might as well get the turbo petrol unless fuel efficiency is your top priority.

Given your requirements, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire VXI AGS comes across as your best option. It is a proven product that is spacious, easy-to-drive and very comfortable car, and it's backed by Maruti's strong support network. Thanks to its three-cylinder petrol engine, fuel efficiency will also be better than all other options listed. Sure, its 5-speed AMT is not feel as seamless and smooth as that of the Amaze or Kylaq, which offer more sophisticated automatic transmissions, however going by AMT standards, it is still reasonably jerk-free. Furthermore, the VXI AGS variant has a driver's seat height adjustment and rear AC vents, which you're looking for; ride comfort is terrific and its back seat is spacious and more comfortable than most options listed.The Brezza 1.5 AT has a more sophisticated powertrain compared to the Dzire, but it is also more expensive. Hence as far as value goes, the Dzire VXI AGS is better and seems like the more sensible choice.

The Brezza Turbo will feel noticeably quicker than your 2010 Swift VDi. The 1.0 turbo petrol is a punchy engine with strong low-end and mid-range performance, so it feels genuinely brisk in everyday driving. You will miss the diesel’s effortless torque at low revs, but overall performance is stronger and the car feels more modern and refined.On the variant choice, the LXi is a very basic car and even with genuine accessories you will not be able to add some of the more integrated features that come with higher variants. The ZXi is a better choice because it gives you a much more complete car from the factory, including a better infotainment system, more safety features and a generally more premium feel. Overall, the Brezza Turbo is a significant step up from your Swift in both performance and refinement, and the ZXi is the variant we would recommend.

The Venue's brighter and more welcoming cabin, and its light steering and smooth 5-speed manual gearbox (with the 1.2-litre petrol) make it a good city car. However, the Brezza's 1.0-litre turbo-petrol for similar money as the 1.2 NA petrol delivers stronger performance, well-suited for city and highway applications. Additionally, the Brezza's cabin is more spacious and its suspension more suited for bad roads. So while the Venue 1.2L is perfectly fine for the city, the Brezza 1.0 Turbo is a well-rounded option for similar money.
