•1dWe have owned a Tata Zest for 10 years and are looking for a family car for 4 adults and 1kid 9year old. Our running for the year is 12k to 13k kms with 60% city and the rest highway for occasional trips. We intend to keep it for 10 years and zeroed in on Seltos, but worried about ethanol blending and pricey petrol. So, for our requirement, we are thinking of moving to EV and are confused whether we should wait for Sierra EV, go with Harrier EV or XEV 9s. Although we aren’t keen on a 7 seater, and 9E seems to be gimmicky. Please help.

For your usage, we would not switch to an EV purely because of ethanol blending worries. With 12,000 to 13,000 km a year, 60 per cent city use and a 10-year ownership plan, a petrol SUV like the Kia Seltos is still a perfectly practical choice. E20-compliant petrol cars will continue to be supported, and a move to higher ethanol blends like E85 would require dedicated flex fuel engines, so there is no realistic scenario where today’s compliant petrol cars suddenly become unusable.If you genuinely want to move to an EV, then the decision should be based on your usage pattern, charging convenience and ownership comfort, not fuel policy anxiety. Between your options, the Tata Harrier EV looks like the most complete fit today. It gives you the space you need for four adults and a child, feels like a proper family SUV and removes the uncertainty of waiting for an unlaunched product. The Mahindra XEV 9e is also a strong EV, but since you already find it a bit too gimmicky and are not looking for that kind of experience, it does not sound like the natural fit.As for the Tata Sierra EV, we would absolutely suggest waiting if you are not in a rush, because it is expected soon and could land in the sweet spot between the Harrier EV and the smaller EV SUVs in terms of practicality and positioning. The only caveat is that buying an EV without a reliable home charging setup would make far less sense than simply buying the Seltos petrol and moving on.

•1dI am planning to buy the e-Vitara, as I feel the cost is a bit easier on the pocket when compared to the Creta EV, which is 5 lakh costlier for the same variants. Or should I wait for Sierra EV? What can it cost? What would you suggest among e Vitara, Creta EV and Sierra EV?

Autocar India
The Tata Sierra EV is expected to launch in just a few months from now, thus we would recommend you wait and then make a decision. As for the price its hard to pinpoint what that would be, but expect it to undercut the Hyundai slightly. If you cannot wait, between the Maruti Suzuki E Vitara and the Hyundai Creta Electric, pick the Maruti only if you are on a tight budget. It also offers you all the basics; however, while the Hyundai costs a bit more, it does come across as the superior product.In our reviews of the two cars, we have rated the Hyundai better thanks to better performance feel and a more user-friendly experience, including easily adjustable regeneration levels. The cabin is also more spacious and comfortable, with a larger passenger area and boot.

•1dSir, how is the rear suspension and ride quality of the Mahindra XEV 9e Pack One and Two? I tested the Pack Three and found the rear seat very boat-like with too much movement both vertically and sideways, which can get nauseating for rear-seat passengers. Is the suspension setup in Pack One and Two any better? Should I instead go for the Harrier EV 75 RWD if I want better ride quality, or should I wait for the Sierra EV? I want an EV bigger than the Nexon, but I do not like the Curvv EV and was thinking of avoiding Mahindra because of the suspension. I tried the Nexon EV and new Punch EV and found their rear suspension much better than the XEV 9e and even the eVitara. Please guide.

Autocar India
What you felt in the Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Three is a fair observation. The XEV 9e does have a softer suspension tune, and for some rear seat passengers, that can translate into a floaty, slightly boat-like vertical movement over undulations, which can feel uncomfortable or even nauseating if you are sensitive to that kind of motion. As far as we know, there is no major suspension hardware difference between Pack One, Two and Three that fundamentally changes this character, so we would not expect the lower variants to feel significantly different in this regard.If rear seat ride quality and body control are a major priority, the Tata Harrier EV is the better option right now. It feels more tied down, composed and generally better controlled from the rear, without that excessive floatiness. If you still want to stay with Mahindra, the XEV 9e actually feels more balanced in this respect and does not have the same exaggerated bouncy character as the XEV 9S.That said, since you are clearly particular about ride quality and already like how Tata’s EVs are tuned, we would absolutely suggest waiting for the Tata Sierra EV as well, especially since its launch is right around the corner. It should sit in that sweet spot above the Nexon EV in size while potentially offering the kind of more settled suspension setup you seem to prefer.

•2dHello Sir, could you please share your opinion on the new updated Tata Curvv EV X series? Do you think it is a good buy considering its pricing, features, performance, and overall ownership experience?

Autocar India
The updated Tata Curvv EV Series X does improve the Curvv EV’s value proposition, but with the Sierra EV’s launch now right around the corner, it makes sense to hold on a little longer before making a decision.The Sierra EV is expected to be priced in a similar ballpark, but it should offer significantly more cabin space and overall practicality, which will make it the more versatile long-term EV. It is also expected to sit higher in Tata’s EV line-up as a more premium offering.

•4dHi AutocarIndia Team, I am really interested in the Tata Sierra EV. Any scoops or news on when we can potentially expect the same to be launched here in India? Thanks, TechiePetrolhead

Autocar India
If you are waiting for the Tata Sierra EV, the good news is that it does not seem too far away. Current indications suggest a launch could happen either later this month or in June.Expect it to slot below the Tata Harrier EV in Tata’s electric line-up, likely with multiple battery pack options and a more premium positioning than the Tata Curvv EV. Tata has also indicated that both Rear Wheel Drive and All Wheel Drive versions are planned, which should make it one of the more interesting mainstream electric SUVs in India.

•6dI am planning to buy an EV in the ₹20-25 lakh price range. My key requirements include around 500 km range, along with good space, comfort, and overall refinement. I have shortlisted the Tata Harrier EV and the Hyundai Creta EV, and I am also waiting for the Tata Sierra EV to be revealed. Which of these would make the most sense for my needs?

Autocar India
The Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR is the one that fits your brief best. It fits within your price range, and it has a cabin that is comfy and easy to live with for a family of four. Also, Hyundai’s EVs are usually very refined and smooth to drive in traffic, which matches your focus on a calm, polished experience.Two things to keep in mind for your needs. First, in this budget, a true 500 km in real use is tough. The Creta Electric may have a claimed range of 473km (ARAI), but we managed to get a real-world figure of 432km in our testing. Second, fast charging speeds on mid-price EVs like the Creta are usually modest, so plan stops on longer trips accordingly.The Tata Harrier EV will suit you only if you can stretch the budget. Being a bigger car with a larger battery, it will be roomier inside and offer more range. The Tata Sierra EV is worth waiting for only if you love the look and want a roomier cabin. But prices, exact specifications and launch timing are not final yet.

•19wMy daily commute ranges between 40 and 50 km. Which EV would you suggest between the MG Windsor EV and the Tata Punch EV, or should I wait for the Tata Sierra EV? I am 6 ft 3 inches tall and need good legroom.

Autocar India
The MG Windsor EV is not only a superior electric vehicle but is also significantly roomier than the Tata Punch EV. The MG's added space is something you will really appreciate, making it the easy pick of the two models on your shortlist. However, if you don't mind the wait, the Tata Sierra EV could be the best pick for you. It's larger than the Windsor EV and promises more headroom, legroom, and shoulder room. Final specifications for the Sierra EV aren't out yet, but we expect it to be more powerful and capable of delivering a longer range than the Windsor EV.

•19wI am planning to buy an electric car with 80% city use and 20% highway driving. My maximum budget is ₹30 lakh. Should I buy one now or wait?

Autocar India
There are some interesting electric cars expected to be launched in the next few months, so if you can wait, you will get a wider choice. Cars like Honda's mid-size electric SUV and the Tata Sierra EV will arrive in the later half of 2026.If you cannot wait until then, you could look at the Hyundai Creta Electric, which is a good all-rounder and will do well in the city and on your occasional highway runs too.

•20wI own a 2023 MG ZS EV and am very happy with the performance, service and overall reliability. It has done 90,000kms and I'm looking to upgrade it to something around 30 lakhs on road. I really like the BE6, should I wait for Sierra ev. I can wait for a few months. Please help me i'm open to other options too

Autocar India
It’s good to know you have had a good experience with EVs and are ready to buy your next one. The Tata Sierra EV is unlikely to arrive before August next year, so you will have a long wait. If you like the Mahindra BE6, go for it. It has a striking design, drives really well and comes with a lot of features. The big negative is that the rear seat isn’t very comfortable, and you may want to wait for a new variant due in late January or early Feb 2026. It will get a three-screen infotainment system similar to the one in the XEV range

•23wHi, I would like your advice based on my usage. I want to upgrade my garage to two city cars and one highway car. My current city car is a Swift diesel AMT with a usage of 1,200 km per month, and my highway car is a Kia Seltos with a usage of 1,000 km per month. I now want to replace both cars and get two EVs for city use, namely the Tiago EV and the Sierra EV. For highway use, I am looking at the BMW M340i because it has adaptive suspension. Do you think it is comfortable for long highway journeys? Please suggest suitable cars for my usage.

Autocar India
The Tiago EV is a sensible, affordable city runabout that works very well for errands and short urban commutes, and that’s exactly how we would recommend you use it. The Tata Sierra EV, meanwhile, is still some time away – launch is expected in 2026 – but on paper it promises a strong combination of space, range and features, and should be priced competitively when it arrives. However, it’s too early to comment on how it will drive as we haven’t driven the production car yet.The BMW M340i is a very quick, engaging sports sedan that can double up as a daily driver, and the adaptive suspension has definitely improved its usability. That said, it still feels a bit firm and always “on its toes”, so it isn’t the most relaxed choice if you prioritise long, laid-back highway cruising.One of our favourite sporty everyday sedans in this space is the Audi S5; it offers strong performance but with a more compliant ride and more easy-going manners, so it’s worth considering as your highway car.
