The new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara facelift is expected to cost between ₹10.7 and ₹10.8 lakh, making it very competitive in its class. The Hyundai Creta (2026) and Kia Seltos (2026) are likely to be in the same price range as the Seltos, but the higher trims of the Seltos may cost a little more.
DON'T MISS
The Grand Vitara’s pricing strategy is still a big plus for buyers who are on a budget.
Hybrid Advantage Wins the Mileage Battle
One of the best things about the Grand Vitara facelift is how well it saves gas. With expected numbers between 21 and 28 kmpl (thanks to its hybrid technology), it is clearly better than both the Creta and Seltos.
The Creta, especially the diesel versions, gets decent gas mileage, but it’s not as good as hybrids. The Seltos gets decent gas mileage, but it can’t compete with the Vitara’s lower running costs.
Features and Comfort: Where Rivals Come Out on Top
The Hyundai Creta is still the best choice for ride comfort, cabin quality, and high-end features. People in cities love it because it drives smoothly and has a well-thought-out interior.
The Kia Seltos, on the other hand, stands out because of its sporty look, precise handling, and long list of features. Younger buyers who want an SUV that is both stylish and fun to drive will love it.
The Grand Vitara is expected to get updates, but unless Maruti makes big improvements to the infotainment and interior quality, it may still fall behind in this area.
Experience of Ownership: Practicality vs. Luxury
The Grand Vitara is very useful because it has low maintenance costs, a strong service network, and a high resale value. These things make it a great choice for long-term ownership.
On the other hand, the Creta and Seltos have a more upscale look, a modern design, and the latest technology, which may appeal more to buyers who value style and comfort.
