What do these terms mean?
- Ex-showroom price
- The car's showroom price. Registration, number plate, vehicle tax, insurance and any dealer charges may be added to your bill.
- Variant / trim
- A version of the same car. Two versions can have different batteries, engines, safety equipment and prices. Match the version on your dealer's quote.
- Ground clearance
- The gap between the road and the lowest part of the car. For example, 180 mm is 18 cm. Passengers and luggage can reduce that gap.
- Range
- The claimed distance on one full charge. Hills, speed, weather, passengers and air conditioning can change it. WLTP, NEDC and CLTC are different test methods, so their numbers are not directly comparable.

We can compare prices, but cannot confidently recommend one yet.
Start with the reasons for each car below. These are based on published information, not a road test. Confirm the exact version, equipment and final dealer quote.
Consider the BYD Dolphin if
- you want more engine or motor power — 20 hp more; compare performance on a test drive
- you want a larger battery — 20.9 kWh more storage; this alone does not prove a longer range
- you want more torque — 66 Nm more turning force; hill performance also depends on weight and gearing
Consider the Tata Motors Tiago EV if
- you want to spend less — it costs Rs 12.2 lakh less
- you need more space under the car on uneven roads — 36 mm more clearance
What to confirm with the dealer
- The range figures were measured differently, or the test method is not stated. Do not use these numbers alone to decide which car goes farther.
