They run together up to ₹13.75L, where the Tigor EV tops out. Past that only the Verna has anything left to sell you, up to ₹18.31L.

Same money, which car?
Take ₹13.75L to both showrooms and you come out with the Verna HX 6 at ₹13.25L or the Tigor EV XZ Plus Lux at ₹13.75L, the Verna leaving ₹50,000 of that in your pocket.
Our take
Keeps ₹50,000, and on features gives up only connected car tech and drive modes
Buy the Hyundai Verna HX 6 and keep the ₹50,000: on features, the Tigor EV XZ Plus Lux only adds small touches like connected car tech, drive modes and regenerative braking. Where they part company is what they run on, the gearbox, boot space and how much power they make, so make sure the cheaper one is the car you actually want.
