The Maruti Suzuki E Vitara is a sensible EV for your usage and budget.For 70-80 km a day and around 25,000 km a year, going electric will significantly cut your running costs, and charging from solar makes it even more economical. The e‑Vitara is positioned as a reasonably priced compact electric car, so it should sit comfortably within your 17 lakh budget and still offer the ease of an automatic, quiet drive and low maintenance.However, there are some important comfort limitations to be aware of, particularly for someone who is 6'3". The cabin is not very spacious, and you’re likely to need the driver’s seat pushed all the way back, which leaves very little legroom for a passenger sitting directly behind you. The floor is also quite high because of the battery pack, so your knees sit more upright than normal, which can reduce long‑distance comfort for tall occupants.If rear‑seat space matters or you often travel with family, it’s worth looking at alternatives like the MG Windsor EV, which offers a noticeably roomier cabin and more comfortable back seat. But if you mostly drive alone or with one front passenger, the e‑Vitara will do the job quite well.

The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara with its 61 kWh battery pack has an officially claimed range of 543 km on a full charge, which is comfortably the highest among the three you’ve mentioned. Even if you factor in real‑world conditions, you can expect a useful touring range that’s still well ahead of the Punch EV and Windsor.​For rear seat space, the MG Windsor EV is the one to go for; it has the most generous back‑seat legroom and overall cabin width, making it the most comfortable for passengers in the back. If you choose the Windsor Pro variant with the 52.9 kWh battery, you get a certified range of 449 km.In real‑world use, that typically translates to roughly 340-370 km depending on your driving style and conditions, which is more than sufficient for daily local and city driving. The Windsor isn’t quite as refined or efficient as the e-Vitara, but it strikes the best balance between range and rear seat space if those are your two main priorities.

Thanks for being a loyal subscriber. As you've rightly mentioned, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara gets two versions 144hp/189Nm motor with a 49kWh battery, and the other is 174hp/189Nm motor, 61kWh battery. The common factor between the two versions is the 189Nm motor torque, which makes it zippy. Of course, being more powerful, the larger battery version is likely to hit higher (three-digit) speeds more quickly, but within town (up to speeds of 60-70kph), the difference between their acceleration is likely to be negligible. So opt for the 61kWh version only if you need more range, else as a city commuter, the 49kWh version's performance should be more than sufficient.

The Maruti Suzuki E Vitara is a sensible electric car, backed by Nexa's widespread sales and support network. It is also equipped with a large 61kWh battery, with which you can expect a highway range of approximately 370km on a full charge - city range will be better. The interiors feel premium, performance is smooth, and its light steering and tight turning radius make it very easy to manoeuvre. That said, the E Vitara's user experience is flawed, the floor is high, which results in a knees-up seating, and its suspension isn't as sorted as some rivals.We would suggest that you consider the entry-level variants of the Kia Carens Clavis EV or Hyundai Creta Electric, both of which cover the basics well. Yes, these have a smaller 42kWh battery, but their powertrain is very efficient, which will deliver impressive real-world range. Overall, both these are excellent options for similar money as the E Vitara.

Since you’ve had a long stint with your Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, it’s understandable that you’re looking at the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara as a replacement.You’ve mentioned 900km of city running, which we assume is per month. For that kind of usage, the 49kWh battery should be sufficient. In real-world city conditions, you can expect roughly 250-300km on a full charge, though we have yet to test the range ourselves. For pure urban use, the 49kWh battery is practical and cost-effective.The larger 61kWh battery would give you more range and flexibility. But given that you already have the Toyota Innova Hycross for highway trips. The smaller battery pack makes more financial sense unless you simply want the added buffer and peace of mind.

Given your usage of 1100-1400km per month, we do not recommend an electric car. Even if your usage is spread evenly over each day of the month, it will require frequent charging, which is not good for battery health.While you haven't stated a budget, given a basic-level Kia Seltos as your target, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara would be on the expensive side. In fact, the Kia Seltos is probably the best option for you, as even the basic HTE variant will be good value for money.It's the largest, most spacious and most comfortable of the three SUVs, and even in the HTE variant, you get a decent amount of features. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is also reasonably efficient if driven carefully.

Between the two, the MG Windsor Pro is more spacious, and its light coloured seats enhance the sense of space even further. Its boot is much larger, too. Furthermore, it is well-equipped and more affordable (than the Maruti e Vitara), hence it is a better value too.Even though the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara has a larger 61kWh battery, its kerb weight of 1.8 tonnes makes it much heavier than the Windsor Pro (1.56 tonnes) with the 52.9kWh battery. Hence, you can expect a real-world range of approximately 370-390km, similar to the MG.

Since you are driving 60km daily and all within the city, an EV would be a good option for you. However, this is only on the assumption that you have access to charging at home or your place of work. Relying only on public charging is not really convenient at all. We would suggest the Maruti Suzuki eVitara. Its drawbacks of tight rear and boot space would not be much of an issue for your usage, and it would deliver well on your requirements of being reliable and safe. The eVitara received a 5-star crash rating in the BNCAP tests, and being a Maruti Suzuki car should prove to be very reliable. Moreover, you will get the top spec version within your budget.

It's hard to recommend a car without knowing more about your personal requirements. However, generally speaking, the Toyota eBella, essentially the Suzuki eVitara, which has been selling for a while now in Europe, has a reliable software experience. On the other hand, the MG Windsor has been known to have a few software glitches. These, however, being software-driven, are fixable, and MG has issued some updates already. Beyond this, in every other way, the MG Windsor is a much better car, offering far more interior space and comfort, an impressive feature list and a good ride quality.

We are yet to drive either of the cars you have mentioned, as they were unveiled yesterday. However, based on our experience with the Maruti Suzuki E Vitara, which the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella is based on, the Skoda Kushaq should be the better option purely in terms of comfort and space.Like the eVitara, the Ebella is unlikely to impress with rear seat comfort, and its boot is quite small. The Kushaq, on the other hand, has always been a spacious car, and it is safe to expect the new version to continue that trend. Added features such as rear massage seats, a panoramic sunroof, and the new 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster will further enhance the overall sense of premiumness.
