Tata Nexon Compact SUV vs Diesel Compact SUV

Tata Nexon Compact SUV will save you ₹ 4,50,700 in 5 years compared to a similar Diesel SUV after driving 75,000 km


Calculation Details
Costs Tata Nexon Compact SUV Diesel Compact SUV
Operating Years 5 5
Per Km Cost (₹) 0.724 (₹ 6 per unit) 7.00 (₹ 70 per litre & 10 kmpl mileage)
5 Year Fuel Cost (₹) @ 15,000 km year 54,300 5,25,000
Maintainance & Servicing (₹) 25,000 40,000
Parts : Repairs/Replacements (₹) 60,000 25,000
​Notes
  • Looking at the savings, why would you even consider an oil and pollution compact SUV? You should go electric and enjoy independence from that oil pump!
  • The manufacturer claims 300 km range per charge, but in real world city driving conditions with AC with the combination of comfort and sports mode, we have considered that a range of 250 km in our calculations.
  • The amounts mentioned in 'Maintainance & Servicing' and 'Parts : Repairs/Replacements', are indicative based on our experience with EV users over 7+ years. The amounts will be different for every case.
  • Electric Cars have electronics parts like Onboard Charger, AC compressor, Energy Management System, Controllers and others which are expensive to replace if something goes wrong. Thus an estimated figure is placed in the Parts : Repairs/Replacements' section.
  • ICE manufacturers also tend to artificially inflate prices of spare parts for EV's, as they don't make as much money from servicing of an EV compared to ICE cars.
  • ICE cars don't suffer from the same problem, as most parts can be repaired. Moreover their spares are available in local market too. And at competitive prices. Dime a dozen workshops have mastered the art of maintenance of an ICE car by now.
  • ​Couple of other points, which can lead to additional savings when using an electric.
    • Most EV owners don't face issues of part replacements as usually these electronic parts are reliable
    • Also as an ICE car gets older, mechanical parts tend to cause more issues as there are more moving components. This can also cause extra expenses, which are not considered here.
  • Replace the battery of the Nexon EV after 1.6 Lakh km or more (This is yet to be ascertained)
