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.

Rs 34,99,000
Empowered+ S Standard Range. Long Range (35 kWh) from Rs 37,99,000; Empowered+ S Long Range Rs 39,99,000. Superseded: Sipradi launched a facelifted Punch EV with 30 and 40 kWh batteries in August 2026, from Rs 33,99,000. This entry still describes the outgoing 25 kWh car. We have not switched it over because Sipradi's site was unreachable, and putting the new car's price on the old car's specifications would be worse than either figure alone.

How to use this comparison
Use price to set your budget, then check the differences that matter for your daily trips. A larger battery, more power or a higher clearance figure alone does not make one car better for everyone. Check test methods before comparing range or safety ratings.
