Maruti Vitara Brezza ZXi+  Vs Hyundai Creta Petrol EX -- Specifications Comparison

While the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is one of the best-selling sub-compact SUVs since its launch, the Hyundai Creta has reigned the mid - size SUV segment in the country until the arrival of Kia Seltos.

Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza ZXi+  Vs  Hyundai Creta EX - Comparison Verdict
While it might sound like a bad idea to buy a car's base variant over another car's top-end trim, the notion stands invalid here. The Hyundai Creta EX offers almost everything that the top-end Vitara Brezza ZXi+ MT gets, if not more, has a slightly higher power and torque output, and is a bigger and more spacious SUV since it belongs to the mid-size SUV segment. Now if we look at the design and built quality of both the cars, then Hyundai Creta wins since Creta looks different from its previous version, it looks more futuristic design, specially new design of headlamp, indicators and rear view is also gives a fresh feeling. While if we look at Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza from the front few changes are made with new bold crome grille, new bumfer design, new projector headlamp and from the rear except LED tail lamp is new and rest are mostly the same like the previous model. Now talking to the build quality Creta is better and have premium feel, while Brezza has now made some cosmetic changes with features but still Hyundai Creta is more premium and better built quality.

However going for Creta EX over Vitara Brezza ZXi+, you have to pay around Rs 25,000 extra along with compromising on some premium features like Leather-wrapped steering wheel rear armrest, reverse parking camera, rear wiper and washer, alloy wheels, auto-dimming IRVM, push-button start, Auto AC and much more.
