Go for the Hyundai Creta because your 70% highway use and family of five will benefit most from its space, calm cruising and real-world efficiency. The 1.5 NA petrol with the automatic is smooth, stress-free and proven reliable, and the Creta’s big cabin and boot make family trips easy. Real-world mileage should be good too, and maintenance should be relatively low. In your budget, you should be able to get the mid-range S (O) CVT. Coming from a Maruti Jimny AT, you’ll love the greater refinement, more comfortable ride and stronger high-speed performance.From Maruti Suzuki, there are the Grand Vitara and Victoris, which are both excellent options too. Great mileage, smooth gearboxes and exceptional reliability, but for a family of five, space in the back seat isn't as good as the Creta, and the 105hp 1.5-litre petrol can feel overwhelmed under heavy load, especially on the highway, where you do 70% of your driving. Honda's 1.5-litre petrol in Elevate doesn't have this issue, but compared to the Creta, space and comfort aren't quite as good, and it lacks the same wow factor. However, if you don't mind a sedan, the City is a more compelling choice.Overall, though you won't get it in a higher variant with as many features as others, we feel the Creta is the best all-rounder for the money.

Of your cars, you should replace the Maruti Ignis with a Kia Seltos diesel automatic. This gives you the convenience and better fuel efficiency you are looking for, while allowing you to keep the City for its VTEC driving experience and the Jimny for rough roads or compact lanes. The Kia Seltos diesel auto is smooth and relaxed in traffic thanks to its smooth torque converter, and on highways, it cruises at low engine speed, so it feels calm and will likely use less fuel than your Honda City or Maruti Jimny. The back seat is wide enough for family use, the seat height is good for elders, and the boot is much larger than the Ignis, so it works well as the main family car.One thing to keep in mind is that you will miss the Ignis’s tiny size, and though the Jimny is a compact car, it isn't quite as light and manoeuvrable as the hatchback. Overall, the Seltos feels like a more upmarket and high-tech alternative to your existing cars, and should be a good upgrade that works in a variety of situations.
