E20 is the standardised petrol blend across the country now, and your i20, being a 2023 model, is compliant with the fuel. E20-compliant engines are designed to run on ethanol-blended fuel without any modifications or additives, so there is no need to use premium petrol or make any modifications. Fuel efficiency has been known to drop slightly with E20 fuel compared to E10, and the best way to improve fuel efficiency in your Hyundai i20 is to fine-tune driving and maintenance habits.The most effective ways to improve mileage are to drive smoothly, avoid sudden acceleration and heavy braking, keep tyre pressures at the recommended level, and ensure regular servicing. Using cruise control on highways, reducing unnecessary idling and keeping the car free of excess weight will also help.

Go for the Hyundai Creta S (O) IVT. It is the best fit for your requirements as a new driver. The IVT automatic is smooth, reliable and easy to drive in the city, and the Hyundai Creta offers good visibility, a comfortable driving position and a well-balanced ownership experience.The Kia Seltos HTK (O) IVT is mechanically very similar, but the Creta is the better value package. Moreover, the Creta is slightly smaller and offers better visibility, making it easier to drive and manage for a relatively new driver.The Tata Sierra Adventure DCT is tempting with its 360° camera, but the DCT gearbox is not as well suited to city driving as the IVT, nor is it as efficient. Between the Creta and Seltos, it's quite close, but we'd recommend the Hyundai for its slight advantage in ease of driving.

Yes, the Hyundai Creta is due for a full generation change in 2027, not just a facelift. The current Creta is still a strong product, but Hyundai is already working on the next-generation model, which is expected to be a ground-up redesign. It will continue with petrol and diesel engines, as well as an EV, and while a hybrid version is on the cards, whether it will arrive at launch or at a later stage is yet to be seen. Hyundai (and Kia) are reportedly working hard to localise components of the hybrid powertrain so that it can be launched at a competitive price in the new Creta and Seltos. The new Creta will remain a separate product from the Seltos, with its own design and interior, although the new Creta will move to the new-gen K3 platform introduced with the new Seltos this year.

The Hyundai Creta received a major facelift in 2024, so the next all-new generation is expected around 2027. There is no official confirmation of a hybrid powertrain for the next Creta yet, but Hyundai is developing hybrid technology for India, so it is possible that the next-generation Creta could offer a hybrid option. The Creta and Seltos are built on the same platform and share engines, but Hyundai and Kia tune their cars differently. The Creta is positioned as the more comfort-oriented option, while the Seltos feels slightly more premium and offers marginally better rear seat space.If you need a car now, buy the Seltos. It is a very well-rounded product and you will not regret the decision. If you are not in a hurry and are specifically interested in a hybrid powertrain, it may be worth waiting for the next-generation Creta. Otherwise, there is no strong reason to delay your purchase.

Yes, you have a few good options. The Kia Seltos 1.5 petrol CVT would be the best fit if you want a comfortable, reliable automatic with a peppy-enough engine and a genuinely useful boot. At 447 litres, it comfortably exceeds your 400-litre requirement, while the naturally aspirated petrol-CVT combination is well suited to your 70% city usage.The Hyundai Creta 1.5 petrol CVT is another strong option. Its 433-litre boot meets your requirement and it offers a particularly comfortable ride, making it a good replacement for the S-Cross. However, the Seltos is slightly more spacious and its interior feels a little more upmarket and premium.If performance is a higher priority, the Seltos 1.5 turbo-petrol DCT is worth considering. However, the higher price and DCT's less relaxed nature in predominantly city traffic make the CVT the better fit for your usage.A diesel automatic doesn't make much sense for your usage unless your annual running is substantially higher than it appears.
