| Variant | Battery and certified range | Ex-showroom | On-road, Bengaluru (approx.) |

| BGauss RUV 350 i EX | 2.3 kWh, 105 km | Rs 1.09 lakh | Rs 1.16 lakh |
| BGauss RUV 350 EX | 2.3 kWh, 105 km | Rs 1.24 lakh | Rs 1.31 lakh |

BGauss RUV 350 Variants Explained
All three versions share the same 3.5 kW in-wheel motor, 16-inch alloy wheels and 75 km/h top speed. As a result, they ride and perform the same. The main differences are battery size, display and smart features. Therefore, your choice depends on your daily distance and how much tech you want.
RUV 350 i EX: The Budget Pick
The i EX is the most affordable version at Rs 1.09 lakh. Its 2.3 kWh LFP battery claims 105 km, and BGauss quotes about 90 km in real-world riding. It gets a simple digital display and Eco, Ride and Sport modes. However, it skips the TFT display, navigation, call alerts, cruise control and hill hold. Therefore, it suits riders who want the RUV’s rugged build at the lowest price.
RUV 350 EX: Adds Smart Features
For Rs 15,000 more, the EX keeps the same 2.3 kWh battery but adds a 5-inch TFT with turn-by-turn navigation. Moreover, it adds cruise control and hill hold, which help on open roads and slopes. As a result, it offers a better everyday experience without increasing range. It suits riders with daily commutes of under 60 to 70 km.
RUV 350 Max: The Long-Range Choice
The top Max costs Rs 1.38 lakh and gets the larger 3.0 kWh battery, claiming 145 km. BGauss quotes about 120 km in real-world riding in Eco mode. Moreover, it adds Bluetooth with navigation and call alerts, cruise control and colour-coded alloy wheels. Therefore, it suits riders who cover longer distances and want every feature.
Which Variant Should You Buy?
For most buyers, the Max offers the best value, since Rs 14,000 over the EX buys about 40 km more claimed range. However, the EX suits riders with short commutes who still want a TFT and cruise control. Meanwhile, the i EX suits tight budgets. In comparison, the Bajaj Chetak offers a larger dealer network, while the TVS iQube offers more boot space.
