Head to head
Spec-for-spec, rupee-for-rupee comparisons of two models at a time from the MotoSutra catalogue, with a scored at-a-glance verdict on price, space, performance and safety.
Every comparison here pairs exactly two models from the MotoSutra catalogue and argues the purchase decision on the terms that actually separate them: ex-showroom price at like-for-like trim, usable space, the powertrain figures we carry in the spec sheet, and the safety hardware fitted as standard. Each page opens with a scored at-a-glance table, then makes the case in prose. There are 20 head-to-heads published so far.
Comparison · Performance electric scooter vs Electric retro scooter
Two premium electric scooters, two completely different theories about what a scooter is for. We set the documented range, hardware and geometry against each other until the batteries’ claims say enough.

Comparison · Cruiser tourer vs Adventure
Forty brake horsepower apiece, ₹67,000 apart, and completely different ideas about what a big single is for. We put both theories against the same documented tarmac, gravel and traffic they were built for.

Comparison · SUV vs SUV
The Nexon EV is on sale and measured. The Punch EV is a projection with a plausible shape. Here is what each ₹1 lakh of the gap between them actually buys.

Comparison · Compact SUV vs Compact SUV
A five-star, all-disc, 2651 mm-wheelbase German-engineered structure against the segment’s best-selling sub-four-metre turbo. Match the Kushaq against the Venue’s turbo variants rather than its entry price, and the value argument gets uncomfortably interesting.

Comparison · SUV vs SUV
Shared platform, shared engine, divergent characters. We grade the two mid-size SUVs that split most Indian family shortlists, category by category.

Comparison · Sedan vs Sedan
A ₹11.79 lakh driver with a hybrid at the top against a ₹10.99 lakh cruiser with 528 litres of boot and Level-2 ADAS — and a crash-score standoff only the Honda wins, at three stars.

Comparison · Sports vs Sports
One 155cc VVA single, one frame philosophy, two handlebars — and a wrinkle: the MT-15 V2 is still a projection on MotoSutra’s unverified catalogue while the R15 is in showrooms today. We sort the hardware from the timing.

Comparison · Hatchback vs Hatchback
Tata sells the safest hatchback India has built; Hyundai sells the best-equipped one. They overlap almost exactly on price, which forces the only question this comparison actually contains: what do you want in a five-year plan?

Comparison · Sports naked vs Sports naked
Thirty horsepower against twenty-six and a half, 168 kg against 181, and a chassis philosophy apiece. The quarter-litre class has exactly one real argument left, and it is about what you ride for.

Comparison · Hatchback vs Hatchback
Same 1,197cc family, different state of tune — 79 bhp against 89 — and a ₹26,000 entry gap that reverses at the top of the ladder. Maruti’s two hatchbacks make the strongest case against comparing hatchbacks by shape alone.

Comparison · Hatchback vs Sedan
One 1.2-litre petrol, one gearbox, two bodies and a ₹47,000 gap at the entry price. We separate the hatchback from the sedan on the terms that actually decide this purchase.

Comparison · Cruiser vs Commuter
Royal Enfield sells one 349cc single in two frames. We weigh the documented equipment, ergonomics and geometry against the price gap to find whether the difference is hardware, posture or simply the object you want parked outside your house.

Comparison · Commuter vs Family scooter
India’s best-selling scooter against the 125 that was designed to catch everyone who outgrows it. The price gap is smaller than the tank-size cliché suggests, and so is the decision once you know who rides pillion.

Comparison · Compact SUV vs SUV
Both compact SUVs on MotoSutra’s unverified catalogue carry a five-star adult crash score, both sit on a 2600 mm wheelbase, and both claim 17 kmpl. Then the price ladders, the engines and the philosophies diverge hard.

Comparison · Sports commuter vs Sports commuter
TVS brings ride modes and a connected console to the 160cc fight; Bajaj brings a lower price, standard dual-channel ABS and a bigger tank. We decide which of the two 160s earns the gap.

Comparison · Compact SUV vs Compact SUV
One 998cc three-cylinder turbo makes 120 bhp in both of these, on the same 2500 mm wheelbase — then the catalogues diverge by ₹2.60 lakh at the top and 17 litres at the boot. The comparison that decides itself once you know your trim.

Comparison · Cruiser vs Cruiser
Two 349cc singles, two philosophies, overlapping price tags within ₹2,000 of each other. Royal Enfield sells a story; Honda sells the better machine. We read both arguments against the documented hardware to see which survives ownership.

Comparison · SUV vs Compact SUV
A 170 Nm turbo and a five-star shell against a smooth 1.5-litre, 21 kmpl and the calmer commute. The entry prices are ₹86,000 apart and the philosophies are a world wider.

Comparison · Cafe-racer cruiser vs Modern-classic cruiser
Royal Enfield’s 648cc cafe-racer and Triumph’s 1,200cc modern-classic are the two best arguments for buying a twin on looks alone. One costs ₹3.12 lakh, the other ₹9.90, and the gap is the most interesting number in the comparison.

Comparison · SUV vs Micro SUV
A five-star shell for ₹5.75 lakh against a bigger boot and standard airbags for ₹6.13 lakh. On MotoSutra’s unverified catalogue, the cheapest crash protection in India fights the cheapest practicality — and the ₹38,000 gap decides very little.
