How to read this tool
The tool scores every vehicle in the current catalog against your five brief inputs: budget posture, household needs, body style preference, charging profile, and primary use. Each input contributes a weighted signal to the total score. Budget posture sets whether higher-priced vehicles are penalised. Charging profile adjusts scores based on whether a vehicle depends on easy home charging or handles public-heavy patterns well.
A high score means the vehicle aligns well with the brief you described — it is not an endorsement to buy. Treat the shortlist as the right set of pages to open next, not the final answer. Read the reasons and watchouts listed alongside each match carefully. Then use the running-cost calculator and charging-fit checker to pressure-test the practical ownership case before deciding.
Questions buyers ask
The tool scores every vehicle in the current catalog against your five brief inputs: budget posture, household needs, body style preference, charging profile, and primary use. Each dimension contributes a weighted signal. Vehicles that conflict with a key input — such as a public-charging-dependent model when your profile is easy-home — are scored down even if they are otherwise strong.
No. A top score means the vehicle matches your brief description well. It is a direction to investigate, not a recommendation to purchase. The reasons and watchouts listed alongside each match are worth reading carefully before you narrow further — they explain why a vehicle ranked where it did.
The three budget postures are directional brackets, not price ceilings. Value first favours lower-cost vehicles with a strong running-cost story. Balanced sits in the middle of the market. Premium flexibility includes higher-priced vehicles without penalising them. Choose the posture that best describes how you think about the upfront-price trade-off, and let the other inputs refine the result.
The catalog reflects vehicles available in the selected market at the time of the most recent site update. It covers mainstream models on sale; it does not include announced-but-not-yet-available vehicles or very limited special editions. If a vehicle you expected to see does not appear, it may be outside the current market scope or not yet available as a confirmed purchase.
When the India market is active, the catalog filters to vehicles available for purchase in India. Budget posture scoring uses India market positioning rather than global figures. Charging profile signals also weight apartment and public-charging scenarios more heavily, reflecting where most India EV buyers start their ownership journey.
