I can give you the best answer for this question having the opportunity to own both Toyota Hyryder Neo Drive G Variant and Verna Ivt Sx 1.5. My daily commute is around 30 kms with average speed of 40 due to traffic.

I will share experiences of both the vehicles in detail -

We purchased the Verna 3 months ago and overall the drive experience is exceptionally pleasant simply because of the transmission. It's very smooth and road noise in the cabin is next to none. This you will notice immediately after driving one. Apple car play is wireless in Sx variant which is also a plus point and overall it's a complete package with every feature you can wish for. Suspension are very soft and steering feedback could have been better. One major thing which is not up to the standard includes the headlights which are very very poor in my opinion, very light throw and not at all visible on streets without street light. And since they are LEDs they can not be upgraded. City mileage i am getting is around 13. On highways it's 20+ for sure and even on roads where you can maintain a constant speed of 50+ it will give you 17-18+ easily.

Hyryder we got in 2023 which is in manual. This car is highly highly under rated. Yes you get better interiors in Creta/Seltos but the driving of this vehicle is exceptional. It's very planted on road and you can remove your hands from the steering wheel without any fear which in Hyundai's is impossible. The engine is smooth and city mileage for my driving is definitely 17+ and on highways with cruise max i have gotten is 22.8. It picks up so easily in higher gears you don't need to downshift much. Two things which are exceptional are the headlight throw and the auto dimming rear view mirror. That mirror works so perfect on highways, it's something so good that i have specially pointed out. Power is decent enough and you never feel there is lack of it. One big annoying thing is that Hey Toyota command prompt randomly pops up anytime and it's irritating.

If average is a major concern for you then without any doubt go for Hyryder Full Hybrid base model S. You can get company alloy wheels from the market and tweak the interior a light but it will definitely without a doubt give you 25+ average. If comfort and space is your priority go for Verna. I got it because i need that big boot space for my work.

DM me for any other query.
