Hi, I want to select an EV for around 1,500 km of city driving per month, with a budget of ₹20 L - ₹23 L. I am confused between the Creta EV, BE6, and Harrier EV. Can you suggest the best EV based on performance and visual appeal? | Ask Autocar Anything

Since you are looking for an EV for city use, the Hyundai Creta Electric is a good choice. While it isn't as powerful as the Mahindra BE 6 or Tata Harrier EV, performance is brisk and more than adequate for city conditions.

The same holds true for its battery as well, which is the smallest (LR versions get a 51.4kWh battery pack) but delivers a comfortable 400km of real-world range in city driving.

What makes the Creta Electric likeable and ideal for city use is its size. A Harrier EV is a full-size vehicle, while the BE6 is significantly wider. It means both can feel a bit cumbersome in congested confines. What also goes in favour of the Creta is that the tech onboard works as it's supposed to - free of glitches and errors.
