Looking to buy a new car and am currently confused between the Hyundai Creta 1.5 Petrol Automatic and the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Zeta AT Mild-Hybrid. The car will be driven around 1,000 km per month, mostly in city traffic, with occasional highway trips. My main priorities are real-world city and highway mileage, long-term reliability, maintenance costs, comfort, performance, and overall ownership experience over 8-10+ years. I would really appreciate opinions from owners/users of either car, especially regarding actual city mileage in traffic, maintenance costs, and any issues experienced during long-term ownership.

I own a 2021 Maruti Brezza (petrol), which is not E20 compatible, and I am getting low mileage. Now I'm looking for a new car and am confused between the following options: Kia Seltos HTE(O) IVT, Hyundai Creta EX CVT, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Zeta(O), and Skoda Kushaq (TC) I have seen a few posts and videos suggesting that the new Creta and Grand Vitara will be launched in the coming months. Should I wait for the new launches to get the best car? Kindly suggest, as having multiple options is creating a lot of confusion.

I have been driving a Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Diesel for the last 14 years and am now planning to upgrade to a mid-size SUV. My monthly running is around 500 km, with an equal mix of highway driving and bumper-to-bumper city traffic for office commutes. I also undertake 2-3 long trips of around 350 km each every year. I am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Zeta (O) Petrol Manual and the Hyundai Creta S(O) Petrol Manual, as both are available at almost the same on-road price. I am not considering the Victoris because I do not like its back look, and I have ruled out the Skoda Kushaq due to its limited service network, as my job involves transfers to mid-tier cities. Which of these two SUVs offers better value for money and would be the more sensible long-term choice?
