Budget-conscious buyers usually prioritize affordability and value for money upfront and in the long run. Their list includes the car’s price, fuel efficiency, and maintenance costs. Safety, design, and performance are not their primary focus. Coming to the comparison on our hands today, we have the power figures below:
| Engine | Grand Vitara | Creta |
| Displacement | 1.5-litre mild hybrid | 1.5-litre petrol NA |
| Power | 103hp & 136.8Nm | 115hp & 144Nm |
| Transmission | 5-speed MT | 6-speed MT |
However, the Grand Vitara is the more fuel-efficient one, with a mileage of 21kmpl along with cost-effective ownership with a prominent network of service centers across the country. While the Hyundai Creta has a fuel efficiency of 16.8kmpl and is slightly more powerful as well.
