Zeta vs Delta: What the Extra Rs 1.8 Lakh Buys
| Upgrade | Delta | Zeta |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 49 kWh | 61 kWh |
| Claimed range | 440 km | 543 km |
| Power | 142 bhp | 172 bhp |
| Reverse parking camera | – | ✓ |
| Wireless phone charger | – | ✓ |
The Zeta’s biggest gain is the bigger battery, which adds about 100 km of range and 30 bhp more power. As a result, highway overtakes feel easier, and you’ll stop to charge less often. However, the feature list grows only slightly, so the upgrade makes most sense for frequent long-distance drivers.
Features on the Zeta
Beyond the new additions, the Zeta keeps everything from the Delta. For instance, it offers a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital display and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In addition, automatic climate control, rear AC vents and sliding, reclining rear seats make the cabin comfortable. For safety, it gets 7 airbags, ESP, TPMS, hill hold and an electronic parking brake.
What You Still Miss on the Zeta
The Zeta skips several premium features found on the Alpha. Most notably, it doesn’t get ventilated front seats, a fixed glass roof or a 10-way powered driver seat. It also misses the Infinity audio, 360-degree camera and Level 2 ADAS. For about Rs 2.2 lakh more, the eVitara Alpha adds all of these, which many buyers will find worth the stretch.
Buying Outright vs BaaS
Under BaaS, the Zeta costs Rs 11.99 lakh upfront, about Rs 5.8 lakh less than the full price. However, you then pay Rs 4.39 for every kilometre. In simple terms, the rent catches up with the saving after roughly 1.3 lakh km. Therefore, BaaS works for low-mileage owners, while regular highway users usually save more by buying outright.
