Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.55L more for the e Vitara Alpha: airbags (7 against 6), level 2 (core suite) ADAS and 360° camera. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (10.1" against 9") and 10-way powered driver seat. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The e Vitara is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- The e Vitara Alpha is the strongest of the two at 174 PS
- Also on the e Vitara Alpha: front parking sensors, driver display (10.25" digital against 7" digital) and leatherette upholstery, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the e Vitara Alpha, you give up all-wheel disc brakes, sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane) and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Urban Cruiser Hyryder G(O) Hybrid keeps
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder G(O) Hybrid if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.55L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Alpha if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
