I currently drive a Baleno and want to upgrade to a safer, more comfortable car. My budget is around ₹30 lakh. I need low maintenance and excellent ride quality. Monthly running is about 1,800 km (mostly city) with 1–2 long drives a year. I’m open to EVs - I test-drove the Harrier EV and liked it, but I’m concerned about body roll and Tata-related issues. Which cars offer comfort and suspension at par with or better than the Harrier EV?
Since you are open to buying an EV, the Mahindra XEV 9e is a good option to consider. Ride comfort at low speeds isn't quite as good as the Harrier EV, but the Mahindra car does feel more composed at higher speeds. You can also read: Tata Harrier EV vs Mahindra XEV 9e road test comparisonMahindra will also launch the XEV 9S on November 27. The XEV 9S has a more conventional SUV shape and comes with the flexibility of a third row of seats, in case that matters to you.
Hi, I want to upgrade from my 9 year old Honda WR-V to an electric SUV. My driving is mostly in the city, with only occasional highway trips, and the total monthly running does not exceed 1,000km. I like the Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq, but it seems impractical from a utility perspective once the excitement of owning a new car wears off. I am therefore looking for an EV SUV in the Rs 20-22 lakh range with good second-row space, strong design appeal and plenty of features. I would prefer something new on the block, as models like the Creta have become extremely common and feel less fresh. I also like the Harrier EV, but the features I want are available only in variants priced above Rs 25 lakh. Please suggest something new and worthwhile. I can stretch the budget to Rs 24 lakh if most of these requirements are met.
Based on your requirements, the Tata Sierra EV is the recommendation. It offers a genuinely fresh design, a spacious and comfortable second row, and a premium cabin experience that feels new and different from the usual options. The Sierra EV also delivers a good balance of range and practicality for your predominantly city usage with occasional highway trips. The Tata Harrier EV is a strong product, but as you rightly pointed out, the feature-rich variants start to push well beyond your budget. The Sierra EV, on the other hand, gives you a more distinctive ownership experience with added practicality. The 63kWh version should be adequate for your usage, but if you want a bit more buffer in terms of range for your highway trips, then stretch for the 75kWh version.
Hi, my daily running is approximately 160 km on mostly highways. Can you please suggest an EV that has excellent safety rating, good road presence and is reliable under Rs. 25-30 lakh.
The Tata Harrier EV will be a good option for your requirements of good road presence and a top safety rating. The Harrier has an imposing look and has secured a 5-star crash rating in the Bharat NCAP tests. It also has raft of active safety features like ADAS that can help prevent an accident especially out on highways. Reliability is a mixed bag as there have been issues reported, though Tata Motors has been making many improvements, opt for the Harrier if you have a good dealer near you. If reliability is the main concern then opt for the Hyundai Creta EV, the powertrain, electronics as well as the entire mechanical package are well engineered and you should have a trouble-free ownership experience.
I am planning to buy an EV car for my daily travelling of 100 km on the highway with 3 to 4 passengers and 200 kg of luggage. I am looking for a safe, low-maintenance, and efficient car. Budget is below ₹25 lakh. I am confused between the Tata Harrier EV, Mahindra XEV 9S, and Maruti e Vitara 61 kWh. Please suggest or recommend any other option, considering efficiency and safety.
For your needs, the Mahindra XEV 9S makes the most sense. Go for the Pack One trim, but opt for the larger 79kWh battery pack. During our real-world tests, the XEV 9S 79kWh version delivered a combined range of 477km, but since your usage is primarily on the highway with four passengers and 200kg of luggage, expect that figure to drop noticeably. That said, your 100km commute should be no problem at all with the larger battery.Since you will be carrying a heavy load, you will appreciate the large boot and flat loading lip. The Tata Harrier EV, in comparison, has a smaller boot and a slightly raised floor to accommodate the rear motor. Before you make your final decision, do take a detailed test drive.
Hi Autocar Expert, I currently own a Tata Nexon XZA diesel and am planning to upgrade. However, I have a major parking constraint at my home. I am interested in the Toyota Innova Hycross, but if it is parked in my parking space, the doors cannot be opened properly due to limited space. Because of this, I am considering buying a car that offers an automatic or self-parking feature. Could you please guide me on which cars offer this feature and would suit my situation?
Auto parking might not solve your problem if your parking space is too narrow to open the doors. The summon feature that the Tata Harrier EV gets could be of some use, but it won’t fit your requirements if you need a three-row vehicle like the Toyota Innova Hycross.Instead, we suggest you take a look at the Kia Carens Clavis. It is narrower than the Hycross by about 45-50mm and is roughly the same width as your Nexon, so it should fit in your parking space. In terms of interior volume, while it is not as spacious as the Hycross, it offers plenty of room in the second row and a genuinely usable third row.
