How each Creta was paired
Each Creta in solid paint meets the Grand Vitara with the same fuel and the same kind of gearbox, manual or automatic, whose ex-showroom price is closest; a tie goes to the cheaper Grand Vitara. Price alone sets the pair, so a pair can join different trim levels, and the Grand Vitara's four-wheel-drive automatics enter on price like any other. The picker under the table sets any two variants side by side.
