That counts equipment we can put a rupee value on, at prices within ₹80,000 of each other. It is one input into the decision and not the whole of it — read the caveat below before treating it as a verdict.

What this comparison cannot tell you
- Nothing about how they drive. Ride, refinement, steering, seat comfort, visibility, boot practicality — none of it is here, and any of it might matter more to you than a longer feature list.
- Nothing about size or engine. A matched price can put a larger car's entry trim against a smaller car's top trim. Cabin space, boot, ground clearance and how much engine you get are not in these totals.
- Nothing about ownership. Service network reach, running costs, reliability record and resale value are real money and are not counted.
- Only equipment we track. Our list is incomplete, and thinnest at the bottom of a range where trims differ on many small items. Either car may be better equipped than this page suggests.
- A feature you don't want is worth nothing to you. The totals assume you want everything. Read the lists, not just the numbers.
How every valuation is set, and where the method is weakest, is on the methodology page.

Common questions
- Is the Maruti Grand Vitara or the Volkswagen Taigun better value?
- On the equipment we can put a price on, the Maruti Grand Vitara leads at 5 of the 7 matching price points. That measures kit per rupee and nothing else — it is not a verdict on how either car drives.
- What is the closest Volkswagen Taigun to the Maruti Grand Vitara Alpha(O) 1.5 Mild Hybrid AT?
- The Volkswagen Taigun Topline 1.0 Turbo Petrol AT at ₹17,37,900, against ₹16,73,700 — a difference of ₹64,200 ex-showroom.
- Does this account for how the cars drive?
- No. This page compares equipment and price only. Ride quality, engine refinement, seat comfort, service network, resale and how the car feels to you are not in it, and for many buyers one of those decides the purchase.
