Is kushaq a big no if I have to travel in city on low speeds , I have read that DSG is too sensitive to hear and city ride

I have a Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid, and I am extremely satisfied with its mileage (900-1000 km from 45 liters). However, I am losing the joy of driving. I migrated to this car after owning a Swift Dzire Diesel and an XL6. The mismatch between engine revs and acceleration is becoming unpleasant. Overtaking feels riskier, and even the brakes feel spongy. I have experienced a few unpleasant situations because of this. As a result, I have reduced my overall speed, making the safety of my family a bigger priority. But the driver in me is unhappy. Should I upgrade to the Duster Hybrid, the Hycross Hybrid, or the newly launched Sierra EV? Also, do diesel engines still make sense today?

I have pre-booked for Duster Hybrid, Nissan Tekton Hybrid and lastly Tata Sierra EV. Which one should I go for? My preference is to go for the earliest available one.
