Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.79L to both showrooms and you come out with the Creta N Line N10 at ₹19.03L or the e Vitara Alpha at ₹19.79L, the Creta N Line leaving ₹0.76L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.76L more for the e Vitara Alpha: airbags (7 against 6). The useful extras on top: powered driver seat (10-way against 8-way) and regenerative braking. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Creta N Line swallows the most luggage at 433 litres
- The e Vitara is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Going to the e Vitara Alpha, you give up ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)), blind spot monitor and all-wheel disc brakes, which the Creta N Line N10 keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Creta N Line N10 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.76L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Alpha if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
