It really depends on your priorities. The S1 Z stands out for its aggressive pricing, especially the 5.1 kWh variant’s 301 km range at under Rs 1 lakh, which is hard to match at this price point.

If range-per-rupee is your priority, the S1 Z has a strong case; if design or brand reliability matters more, the other two are worth a look.
