Tata Sierra EV mid-spec vs Hyundai Creta EV top-spec comparison

Both the Tata Sierra EV and Hyundai Creta Electric are available with two battery pack options. However, the lower variants of the Creta Electric feature a smaller 42kWh battery pack, so we’ll be looking at the 51.4kWh version here – the Creta’s top-spec Excellence LR (Long Range) variant is only offered with the larger battery pack. However, the Sierra EV’s Empowered trim offers buyers more flexibility as it’s available in 63kWh and 75kWh guises. The Sierra EV Empowered is priced from Rs 22.79 lakh to Rs 23.79 lakh, while the Creta Electric’s top-spec Excellence LR costs Rs 23.67 lakh. Let’s find out which midsize electric SUV is right for you.

Explore full specs, features and a price breakdown in our Sierra EV and Creta Electric comparison.

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR: Dimensions

The Sierra is the bigger car here, but the Creta EV is just as long

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR dimensions
	Tata Sierra EV	Hyundai Creta Electric
Length (mm)	4,340	4,340
Width (mm)	1,841	1,790
Height (mm)	1,750	1,655
Wheelbase (mm)	2,730	2,610
Boot space (litres)	450	433
Frunk (litres)	55	22
Wheel size (inches)	18	17

While the overall length of the Hyundai Creta Electric is identical to the Tata Sierra EV, the latter boasts 120mm longer wheelbase. The Sierra EV is 51mm wider and 95mm taller at the roof than its Hyundai rival. The range-topping Excellence LR variant of the Creta EV only gets 17-inch wheels, but the Empowered trim of the Tata SUV comes equipped with larger 18-inch rims. In terms of their luggage-carrying capacity as well, the Sierra EV has the bigger rear boot and frunk (front trunk).

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR: Powertrain

The rear-wheel drive Sierra gets two powertrain options and has the range advantage

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR powertrain options
	Tata Sierra EV	Hyundai Creta Electric
Battery size (kWh)	63/75	51.4
Electric motor setup	Single, rear (RWD)	Single, front (FWD)
Power (hp)	238/209	171
Torque (Nm)	315	255
Claimed 0-100kph	–	7.9 seconds
Claimed range (km)	566/665	510
AC charging	Up to 10.5 hrs at 7.2kW (10-100%)	7.25 hrs at 7.4kW (10-100%)
DC fast charging	Up to 26 mins at 120kW (20-80%)	39 mins at 100kW (10-80%)

The Sierra EV in Empowered trim is offered with 63kWh and 75kWh battery packs. Even with the smaller battery option, the Sierra EV’s claimed range is 56km more than the top-spec Creta Electric’s. Bumping up to the top-spec, rear-wheel drive (RWD) 75kWh version of the Sierra EV means a claimed range of 665km – that’s 155km more than the top-spec Creta Electric.

The smaller battery size and a slightly faster AC charging speed means that the Creta Electric can be charged from 10-100 percent in 7 hours and 15 minutes, which is over 3 hours less than what the Sierra EV with the 75kWh battery pack requires. Meanwhile, the Sierra EV with the 63kWh battery takes under 9 hours to achieve the same SoC (state of charge). Both cars support DC fast charging of over 100kW, with the Sierra EV’s claimed charging time being based on 120kW DC charging.

The Sierra EV’s single electric motor powers its rear wheels, while that of the Creta Electric powers its front. While the punchier 63kWh version of the Tata SUV makes 67hp more than its Hyundai EV rival, even its lower-output 75kWh version makes more power (38hp more than the Creta Electric). The Sierra EV also has the torque advantage, developing 60Nm more than its Hyundai rival. While Tata Motors hasn’t published the claimed 0-100kph time of the mid-spec Sierra EV, it’s likely to be brisk.

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR: Exterior features

The Sierra EV’s Empowered trim adds more novelty features on the outside than its Hyundai rival

The Empowered trim of the Sierra EV gets useful features such as a gesture-activated powered tailgate, front & rear fog lamps, and front cornering lights. While both cars gets a rear spoiler, the Sierra EV’s unit actually hides the rear wiper for a cleaner look. They also feature niceties like puddle lamps, welcome & good-bye light animations, and automatic LED headlamps. The Creta Electric sticks to conventional pull-type door handles, whilst the Tata SUV uses flush door handles. Hyundai offers dual-tone colour choices with the Creta Electric, but Tata Motors does not.

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR: Interior features

Both electric SUVs are fairly well-matched when it comes to interior convenience features

The Tata Sierra EV gets more speakers as part of its JBL Black audio system, along with Dolby Atmos and wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. The Sierra offers more USB ports and Tata’s new ‘AirConsole’ gaming system with a high-definition front passenger screen. Other interior features exclusive to the Sierra EV include front thigh-support extenders for added comfort and a route planner to help minimise range anxiety.

The Hyundai Creta Electric doesn’t get a third screen and its dual digital displays are smaller than the Sierra’s. However, the Hyundai EV offers a powered ‘Boss’ function, a cooled compartment under the front armrest, tray tables with cupholders for rear passengers, and a leatherette-like eco-friendly material for the seats.

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR: Safety features

The fully loaded Creta EV comes with ADAS, which the Sierra EV lacks in its mid-spec trim

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR safety features
	Tata Sierra EV	Hyundai Creta Electric

Rear wiper and defogger	Yes	Yes
All-wheel disc brakes	Yes	Yes
Level 2 ADAS	No	Yes

Both these cars come well-equipped with modern safety features. However, the Creta Electric adds Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), too. This ropes in nannies such as forward collision warning, blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert, high-beam assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop & go functionality.

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR: Other features

The Sierra EV is better equipped on this front too

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR other features
	Tata Sierra EV	Hyundai Creta Electric
Drive modes	Yes (3)	Yes (3)
Terrain modes	Yes (4)	No
Single-pedal driving	No	Yes
V2V and V2L	Yes	Yes (V2L)
AVAS	Yes	Yes

Unlike the Sierra EV, the Hyundai Creta Electric gets a proper single-pedal driving mode. This makes driving it over long distances on the highway less tiresome while also helping improve range because of energy recuperation even without using the brake pedal. However, the Sierra EV supports both vehicle-to-load and vehicle-to-vehicle charging functions – the Creta Electric only supports the former. Both EVs come with an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS).

Conclusion

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR prices
	Tata Sierra EV	Hyundai Creta Electric
Price range (In Rs, lakh)	22.79-23.79	23.67

If you want more cabin & luggage space, longer range & faster performance plus conveniences like a powered tailgate, wireless smartphone connectivity, multiple voice assistants, plus V2V and V2L functions, then the Tata Sierra EV will be a suitable pick. In case you don’t need the additional range offered by the 75kWh version, you can save Rs 1 lakh and go for the 63kWh version instead – it’s Rs 88,000 cheaper than the Creta Electric. However, prospective Sierra EV buyers should be aware of the inconsistencies in Tata’s service quality and vehicle fit & finish.

Prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Delhi.

June was the first month in which electric passenger vehicle sales crossed 30,000 units, reaching 32,259 units – more than double the 15,203 units recorded in June 2025.

Tata Motors

57,370 units, up 82 percent YoY

Tata Motors retained the top spot with 57,370 electric cars and SUVs sold in H1 2026, an 82 percent increase from 31,556 units a year ago. Its market share increased marginally from 38 percent to 39 percent.

The carmaker crossed 10,000 monthly EV sales in both May and June, selling 10,894 units and a record 12,384 units, respectively. The Nexon EV remains its main volume driver, while the new Punch EV and updated Tiago EV have expanded its line-up. Tata also recently launched the Sierra EV, joining the Harrier EV, Curvv EV and Tigor EV in its electric portfolio.

Mahindra

34,131 units, up 147 percent YoY

Mahindra recorded the highest growth among India’s three largest EV manufacturers, with sales rising 147 percent to 34,131 units from 13,801 units in H1 2025. Its market share increased from 17 percent to 23 percent.

The company moved ahead of JSW MG Motor in March and retained second place through the first half of the year. Monthly sales increased from 5,873 units in March to a record 7,926 units in June. Demand for the BE 6 and XEV 9e has been supplemented by the XEV 9S, Mahindra’s three-row electric SUV launched last November.

JSW MG Motor

31,819 units, up 18 percent YoY

JSW MG Motor sold 31,819 EVs in H1 2026, up 18 percent from 26,883 units in the year-ago period. However, its market share fell from 33 percent to 21 percent as Tata and Mahindra recorded faster growth. The Windsor remains MG’s bestselling electric model, with around 19,000 units sold during the first six months of 2026. MG’s EV line-up also includes the Comet, ZS EV, Cyberster and M9.

Maruti Suzuki

6,404 units

Maruti Suzuki, which entered India’s electric car market with the e Vitara in January, sold 6,404 units in H1 2026, giving it a little over 4 percent market share. Sales increased from 1,460 units in the first quarter to 4,944 units in Q2, with June registrations reaching a record 1,940 units. Maruti is expected to increase e Vitara production from August or September.

Vinfast

5,627 units

Vinfast recorded 5,627 sales during the first half of 2026, capturing a 3.8 percent market share. Its quarterly sales increased from 1,630 units in Q1 to 3,997 units in Q2, with June sales reaching 1,415 units. The Vietnamese company’s India line-up currently includes the VF6 and VF7 SUVs, along with the VF MPV 7. Vinfast is also expected to expand its range with the VF3 electric hatchback.

BYD

3,300 units, up 32 percent YoY

BYD sold 3,300 electric cars and SUVs in H1 2026, up 32 percent from 2,507 units a year earlier.

The company has confirmed plans to introduce the Seal U later this year, set to be its first plug-in hybrid model in India.

Hyundai

2,725 units, down 36 percent YoY

Hyundai was one of the few manufacturers to record lower EV sales, with deliveries falling 36 percent to 2,725 units from 4,278 units in H1 2025. Its market share declined from 5 percent to under 2 percent. Hyundai currently has two electric models on sale in India – the Creta Electric and Ioniq 5 – amid growing competition from Tata, Mahindra and MG, all of which offer EVs across a wider range of price points.

Kia

2,643 units, up 941 percent YoY

Kia recorded 2,643 EV sales in H1 2026, compared with 254 units during the same period last year, an increase of 941 percent.

3 reasons to buy the Tata Sierra EV and 2 reasons not to

Posted on July 13, 2026July 13, 2026 by admin

Seven months after the launch of the ICE-powered Tata Sierra, its all-electric derivative, the Sierra EV, is finally available for purchase. Priced from Rs 18.79 lakh to Rs 25.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Sierra EV slots right between the Tata Curvv EV and Harrier EV, and rivals electric midsize SUVs like the Mahindra BE 6, Vinfast VF6, Hyundai Creta Electric, MG ZS EV, Maruti e Vitara, Toyota Ebella, and more.

If you’re considering bringing home a Sierra EV, here are three reasons why you should go through with it, and two reasons why you may want to think twice before signing the dotted line.

Pros

Loaded with features

Gets some additional goodies over the ICE Sierra

The Sierra EV retains the expansive equipment list of its ICE sibling, including a triple-screen layout (12.3-inch infotainment and passenger screens, 10.25-inch driver’s display), dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, Level 2 ADAS, a powered tailgate, a 360-degree camera, a wireless charging pad, a 12-speaker JBL Black sound system, ventilated front seats, a powered driver’s seat with memory and welcome functions, and more.

In typical Tata EV fashion, the Sierra EV even packs some bonus features over the ICE version, specifically a powered co-driver seat, an under-floor camera view, auto park assist, a summon mode, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging functions, and a heads-up display along with the triple-screen setup.

Excellent cabin space and practicality

Great for chauffeur-driven buyers

Dimensionally, the Sierra is very similar to its ICE counterpart, which means you get an incredibly roomy and lounge-like interior. Though the floor height has increased by less than an inch compared to that of the ICE Sierra, there’s nary a perceptible difference for occupants. The seats are very comfortable, there’s loads of rear legroom, and the bench even features a small amount of backrest recline.

Despite the addition of a rear motor, the Sierra EV’s boot space matches the ICE version’s 622 litres. That’s measured up to the roof, though, and using the conventional method of measurement, which is up to the parcel tray, the Sierra EV should offer roughly 450 litres of boot space. You even get a frunk, which measures 55 litres in the RWD versions and 35 litres in the AWD variant.

Smooth and potent powertrains

Only one in its segment to offer AWD

The Sierra EV can be had with 63kWh and 75kWh battery options, both of which are powered by a 315Nm rear motor (RWD) as standard. In 63kWh RWD guise, the Sierra EV develops 238hp, while the 75kWh RWD versions make 209hp. The top-spec Sierra EV Empowered A 75kWh variant additionally packs a 140hp front motor to form an AWD layout, churning out a segment-best combined output of 306hp and 504Nm.

Performance is thereby a strong suit for the AWD Sierra EV, with a claimed 0-100kph time of 5.8 seconds. As we noted in our Sierra EV review, though, the SUV doesn’t feel neck-snappingly quick off the line. Power delivery is progressive and undramatic, which is fine considering the Sierra is, after all, a family SUV. On the curated off-road course we took the Sierra EV AWD on, it proved quite capable too.

As for range, the Sierra EV 75kWh RWD claims the highest ARAI figure of the range at 665km, followed by the 75kWh AWD version at 624km and then the 63kWh RWD version at 535km. These are quite competitive range figures when compared to the Sierra EV’s rivals.

Cons

Poor interior quality and ergonomics

Umbrella holders provided, but with no drain plugs

While Tata has upped its game in terms of interior fit and finish, we could still spot hard plastics, rough edges, crooked stitching, and misaligned panels in the Sierra EV. There are some interior design oddities, too, like wasted space below the pedestal-mounted drive selector, narrow and tough-to-reach armrest storage, tiny cupholders placed at the base of the dashboard, no drain plugs for the umbrella holders in the door cards, and conspicuous gaps next to the rear window sunblinds due to the L-shaped B-pillars.

No spare tyre on offer

Removed to accommodate battery pack

In an effort to accommodate the large battery pack, the Sierra EV sacrifices the underbody-mounted spare tyre of its ICE counterpart, offering only a puncture repair kit instead.

Tata Motors PV Q1 Update: तीन गुना बढ़ी Curvv, Sierra की बिक्री; पंच, नेक्सॉन ने भी दिखाया दम

Posted on July 6, 2026July 6, 2026 by admin

Tata Motors PV Q1 Update: टाटा ग्रुप की दिग्गज ऑटो कंपनी Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd के लिए अप्रैल-जून 2026 तिमाही शानदार रही है। कंपनी की ज्यादातर पैसेंजर गाड़ियों की बिक्री और प्रोडक्शन में अच्छी बढ़ोतरी हुई है। कंपनी ने ये आंकड़े सोसायटी ऑफ इंडियन ऑटोमोबाइल मैन्युफैक्चरर्स (SIAM) को सौंपे हैं।

Punch और Nexon की बिक्री 52% बढ़ी

अप्रैल-जून 2026 तिमाही में Punch और Nexon का प्रोडक्शन बढ़कर 1,17,711 यूनिट हो गया। पिछले साल इसी तिमाही में यह 80,001 यूनिट था। घरेलू बिक्री भी जोरदार बढ़ी। यह 76,230 यूनिट से बढ़कर 1,15,882 यूनिट पहुंच गई। यानी करीब 52% की बढ़ोतरी हुई।

हालांकि, निर्यात लगभग स्थिर रहा। इस बार 317 यूनिट का निर्यात हुआ। पिछले साल यह आंकड़ा 320 यूनिट था।

Curvv और Sierra की बिक्री तीन गुना के करीब

Curvv और Sierra की डिमांड भी तेजी से बढ़ी। इन दोनों मॉडलों का प्रोडक्शन 9,135 यूनिट से बढ़कर 25,790 यूनिट हो गया। घरेलू बिक्री 8,272 यूनिट से बढ़कर 25,150 यूनिट पहुंच गई। यानी लगभग तीन गुना बढ़ोतरी हुई।

हालांकि, निर्यात में गिरावट आई। इस तिमाही में 23 यूनिट का निर्यात हुआ। पिछले साल यह आंकड़ा 101 यूनिट था।

Safari, Harrier और Sumo की भी अच्छी डिमांड

Safari, Harrier और Sumo की बिक्री भी मजबूत रही। इन मॉडलों का प्रोडक्शन 6,488 यूनिट से बढ़कर 11,976 यूनिट हो गया। घरेलू बिक्री 6,536 यूनिट से बढ़कर 12,117 यूनिट पहुंच गई।

निर्यात में भी अच्छी बढ़त देखने को मिली। इस बार 30 यूनिट का निर्यात हुआ। पिछले साल सिर्फ 1 यूनिट विदेश भेजी गई थी।

Tiago, Tigor और Altroz की बिक्री घटी

हर मॉडल की कहानी अच्छी नहीं रही। Tiago, Tigor, Altroz, Zest और Bolt की बिक्री में गिरावट दर्ज की गई। इनका प्रोडक्शन 35,496 यूनिट से घटकर 30,163 यूनिट रह गया। घरेलू बिक्री भी 32,801 यूनिट से घटकर 27,017 यूनिट पर आ गई।

हालांकि, एक अच्छी बात भी रही। इन मॉडलों का निर्यात 548 यूनिट से बढ़कर 2,038 यूनिट हो गया।

Nano और Hexa अब भी लाइन से बाहर

इस तिमाही में भी Nano और Hexa का न तो प्रोडक्शन हुआ और न ही घरेलू बिक्री या निर्यात। कंपनी ने साफ किया है कि ये शुरुआती आंकड़े हैं। इनका अभी ऑडिट नहीं हुआ है। ऑडिट के बाद अंतिम आंकड़ों में थोड़ा बदलाव हो सकता है।

Tata Motors पर Citi की क्या राय?

पिछले हफ्ते ब्रोकरेज फर्म Citi ने Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles पर अपनी ‘Sell’ रेटिंग बरकरार रखी थी। हालांकि, नई Sierra EV की तारीफ भी की। ब्रोकरेज के मुताबिक, Sierra EV में 63 kWh और 75 kWh बैटरी पैक का विकल्प मिलेगा। बड़ा बैटरी पैक एक बार चार्ज करने पर 500 किलोमीटर से ज्यादा की रेंज देगा।

इसकी शुरुआती कीमत 18.8 लाख रुपये रखी गई है। टॉप वेरिएंट की कीमत 24.8 लाख रुपये तक जाती है। इसका मुकाबला Mahindra BE 6, Mahindra XEV 9E और Maruti e-Vitara से होगा।

Citi का कहना है कि Hyundai Creta Electric और MG ZS EV के मुकाबले Sierra EV की कीमत प्रतिस्पर्धी है। खासकर एंट्री-लेवल वेरिएंट की कीमत ऐसी रखी गई है, जिससे ग्राहक ऊंचे वेरिएंट खरीदने के लिए प्रेरित हो सकते हैं।

टाटा मोटर्स के शेयरों का हाल

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd का शेयर सोमवार को 0.81% की बढ़त के साथ 346.95 रुपये पर बंद हुआ। पिछले 1 महीने में स्टॉक 10.72% टूटा है। वहीं, 1 साल के दौरान इसमें करीब 16% की गिरावट आई है।

All EVs available with BaaS schemes in India

Posted on July 6, 2026July 6, 2026 by admin

One of the biggest hurdles to the adoption of electric vehicles is their relatively higher prices compared to combustion-powered cars. To address this, mass-market brands such as Hyundai, Citroen, JSW-MG, Maruti Suzuki, Kia, Tata Motors and Toyota have started offering models with Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) schemes, which are essentially subscription plans for the battery pack and substantially lower upfront costs. Here is a list of all the EVs offered with the BaaS option.

Citroen eC3X

BaaS price: Rs 6.89 lakh + Rs 2.26 per km onwards

Citroen introduced a BaaS scheme option with the June 2026 update for the eC3X, reducing the EV’s upfront price by up to Rs 5.26 lakh. Buyers also have to pay a battery subscription fee of Rs 2.26 per kilometre, the lowest here, with a minimum monthly commitment of 2,000km, which works out to Rs 4,520 per month. If monthly usage exceeds 2,000km, charges apply for the additional distance covered.

For buyers opting out of the BaaS plan, Citroen is offering an introductory consumer discount of up to Rs 1.50 lakh, bringing the eC3X’s starting price down to Rs 10.49 lakh.

Mahindra BE6 vs Hyundai Creta Electric: The numbers tell an interesting story

Posted on July 5, 2026July 5, 2026 by admin

The Mahindra BE6 and Hyundai Creta Electric may occupy the same segment, but they have been engineered with very different priorities. The Creta Electric focuses on maximising efficiency, while the BE6 combines a significantly more powerful motor with a larger battery pack to deliver stronger performance and longer overall range. Our instrumented tests reveal how the two electric SUVs compare in the real world.

Real World Efficiency and Range

The Mahindra BE6 and Hyundai Creta Electric arrive at their range figures in different ways. While the BE6 relies on a larger battery pack to maximise outright range, the Creta Electric focuses on getting the most out of every kilowatt hour.

Real World Efficiency & Range
Test	Mahindra BE6	Hyundai Creta Electric	Winner
City efficiency (km/kWh)	5.55	9.45	Creta Electric
City range (km)	439	486	Creta Electric
Highway efficiency (km/kWh)	5.81	7.36	Creta Electric
Highway range (km)	459	379	BE6
Combined efficiency (km/kWh)	5.68	8.65	Creta Electric
Combined range (km)	449	432	BE6

The Creta Electric is clearly the more efficient SUV in urban conditions, returning an impressive 9.45km/kWh and an estimated 486km of city range. The BE6 manages 439km, highlighting the Hyundai’s focus on extracting maximum distance from its battery in stop start traffic.

On the highway, the Creta Electric continues to post the better efficiency figure at 7.36km/kWh. However, the BE6’s larger battery enables it to cover 459km on a charge compared to the Hyundai’s 379km, giving it a clear advantage on longer journeys.

Across our combined cycle, the Mahindra records a range of 449km, 17km ahead of the Creta Electric’s 432km. The results underline the different engineering approaches adopted by the two manufacturers. Hyundai prioritises energy efficiency, while Mahindra leverages a larger battery to deliver greater overall range.

Performance comparison

The performance figures also help explain the differences in efficiency. The BE6’s rear mounted electric motor produces substantially more power than the Creta Electric, resulting in quicker acceleration across every test.

Performance
Test	Mahindra BE6	Hyundai Creta Electric	Winner
0-100kph (sec)	7.14	8.04	BE6
20-80kph (sec)	4.03	4.55	BE6
40-100kph (sec)	4.48	5.23	BE6
Quarter mile (sec)	15.36	16.06	BE6

While a more powerful powertrain typically demands more energy, the larger battery pack ensures the BE6 still delivers the longer overall range. The Creta Electric, meanwhile, demonstrates just how efficiently its powertrain has been tuned, extracting more kilometres from every kilowatt hour without prioritising outright performance.

Regenerative braking

The Mahindra consistently delivers stronger regenerative braking, particularly in the higher settings where it sheds speed over a shorter distance than the Creta Electric. The difference is most noticeable in one pedal mode and High regeneration, while the Mid setting is almost identical between the two SUVs. Hyundai’s gentler calibration may feel more natural to drivers transitioning from an ICE car, whereas the BE6’s stronger regeneration is likely to appeal to those who prefer one pedal driving.

Regenerative Braking (80-20kph)
Mode	Mahindra BE6	Hyundai Creta Electric	Winner
One Pedal / i-Pedal	99.24m / 6.75s	106.42m / 7.75s	BE6
High	122.11m / 8.80s	138.70m / 10.32s	BE6
Mid	190.02m / 13.64s	190.43m / 14.05s	BE6
Low	299.47m / 21.23s	318.83m / 23.67s	BE6

Verdict

The Mahindra BE6 and Hyundai Creta Electric represent two distinct approaches to electric SUV engineering, and our tests show that both succeed in their respective goals.

The Hyundai Creta Electric is the efficiency benchmark, extracting more kilometres from every kWh in city, highway and combined driving. Its exceptional city range and smoother regenerative braking make it particularly well suited to buyers whose driving is predominantly urban.

The Mahindra BE6, on the other hand, takes a more performance-oriented approach. Its substantially more powerful motor delivers noticeably quicker acceleration, while the larger battery pack enables it to offer superior highway and overall driving range. It also features stronger regenerative braking, lending itself to a more engaging one pedal driving experience.

Ultimately, there is no outright winner here. If your priority is extracting the maximum distance from every unit of energy, the Creta Electric has the edge. However, if you value stronger performance, longer highway range and a more involving driving experience, the BE6 makes a compelling case.

All electric midsize SUVs ranked as per ARAI-claimed range

Posted on July 5, 2026July 5, 2026 by admin

Electric mid-size SUVs with the highest claimed range in India

The midsize SUV segment is not only one of the most contested among combustion-powered cars but also among electric vehicles, with 12 different EVs on sale. This form factor allows carmakers to offer large enough batteries for a usable range while also equipping them with the latest in-car tech at a competitive price. Here we have ranked all the midsize electric SUVs currently available in India as per their ARAI-claimed range. Let’s find out which model can go the farthest on a single charge.

12. MG ZS EV

Up to 461km claimed range

MG ZS EV battery specifications and ARAI range
Specifications	MG ZS EV
Battery pack (kWh)	50.3
ARAI-claimed range (km)	461
Price (Rs lakh)	17.99-20.75

The ZS EV is the electric equivalent of the MG Astor, adapted from an ICE platform. While it is the oldest midsize electric SUV currently on sale in India, its 50kWh battery pack is on par with even the newer offerings. However, a claimed range of 461km is just fine and places it last on this list. The battery powers a front-axle-mounted (FWD) electric motor that produces 177hp and 280Nm.

11. Vinfast VF6

Up to 468km claimed range

Vinfast VF6 battery specifications and ARAI range
Specifications	Vinfast VF6
Battery pack (kWh)	59.6
ARAI-claimed range (km)	463-468
Price (Rs lakh)	17.29-19.19

Vinfast’s most affordable EV in India, the VF6, comes with a fairly large battery pack compared to the older ZS EV, but it does not help much in the claimed range department. While the lower trims offer an ARAI-rated range of 463km, the higher ones claim a slightly better 468km. This is likely due to different tuning of the drivetrain, as the lower trims get a 177hp, 250Nm motor, while the higher-spec trims are offered with a 204hp, 310Nm unit.

10. Tata Curvv EV

Up to 502km claimed range

Tata Curvv EV battery specifications and ARAI range
Specifications	Tata Curvv EV
Battery pack (kWh)	55
ARAI-claimed range (km)	502
Price (Rs lakh)	16.99-19.19

In this segment, the Tata Curvv EV sets itself apart with a coupe-SUV body style. It is based on the Nexon platform that has been heavily modified for an electric powertrain. Although its 55kWh smaller than the VF6’s, it has a higher claimed range. The front-mounted motor makes 167hp and 215Nm. The Curvv is also offered in a combustion-powered avatar, with petrol and diesel powertrain options.

9. Hyundai Creta Electric

Up to 510km claimed range

Hyundai Creta Electric battery specifications and ARAI range
Specifications	Hyundai Creta Electric
Battery pack (kWh)	42 \| 51.4
ARAI-claimed range (km)	420 \| 510
Price (Rs lakh)	18.02-23.67

The Creta is a bestseller in its segment by a big margin, and a fraction of its total sales are from the all-electric iteration, the Hyundai Creta Electric. It gets two battery options, 42kWh and 51.4kWh, and the smaller battery’s 420km claimed range is the lowest in the segment. The larger pack’s range improves to a respectable 510km. While power figures are 135hp and 171hp for the 42kWh and 51.4kWh batteries, respectively, the torque is 255Nm for both.

8. BYD Atto 3

Up to 521km claimed range

BYD Atto 3 battery specifications and ARAI range
Specifications	BYD Atto 3
Battery pack (kWh)	49.92 \| 60.48
ARAI-claimed range (km)	468 \| 521
Price (Rs lakh)	24.99-33.99

The BYD Atto 3 is the only model here that is not locally made in India. It is brought to India via the CKD (completely knocked down kits) route, which explains its expensive price tag. At the higher end of its price range, it offers the larger battery pack with a claimed range of 521km, which is less than the Tata-Mahindra rivals that offer over 600km of range at a similar price. The Atto 3 is a born EV and therefore does not have an ICE equivalent. At 4.45 metres long, it is also a tad larger than other SUVs on this list. Like the Creta Electric, it gets two battery pack options, both mated to a 204hp, 310Nm front-axle-mounted electric motor.

7. Vinfast VF7

Up to 532km claimed range

Vinfast VF7 battery specifications and ARAI range
Specifications	Vinfast VF7
Battery pack (kWh)	59.6 \| 70.8
ARAI-claimed range (km)	438 \| 510-532
Price (Rs lakh)	21.89-26.79

The Vinfast VF7, launched alongside the VF6, is offered with two battery packs. The smaller battery comes paired with a 177hp, 250Nm front-axle-mounted electric motor, while the larger 70.8kWh unit is available in both FWD and AWD setups. The FWD version produces 204hp and 310Nm, while the AWD iteration puts out 353hp and 500Nm. Interestingly, not only is the VF7 the most affordable EV in India with an AWD setup, but it is also one of the fastest mass-market offerings with a claimed 0-100kph time of 5.8 seconds. Both its battery packs offer a claimed range on par with most other SUVs in this segment.

6. Maruti Suzuki e Vitara

Up to 543km claimed range

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara battery specifications and ARAI range
Specifications	Maruti Suzuki e Vitara
Battery pack (kWh)	49 \| 61
ARAI-claimed range (km)	440 \| 543
Price (Rs lakh)	15.99-19.79

Maruti Suzuki’s first EV in India, the e Vitara, is the most affordable midsize electric SUV in India. Moreover, it is offered with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) scheme, like the ZS EV, which lowers the upfront price. It is available with two battery pack options but only with a front-axle-mounted electric motor, unlike the international-spec EV that gets an AWD option too. While the 49kWh version produces 144hp, the 61kWh makes 174hp; the 193Nm torque is common for both. At a top-end price of Rs 19.79 lakh, the e Vitara’s claimed range of 543km is comparatively higher than similarly priced rivals, which mostly quote sub-500km figures.

5. Tata Harrier EV

Up to 627km claimed range

Tata Harrier EV battery specifications and ARAI range
Specifications	Tata Harrier EV
Battery pack (kWh)	65 \| 75
ARAI-claimed range (km)	538 \| 622-627
Price (Rs lakh)	21.49-29.48

The Tata Harrier EV sits at the top of Tata’s EV lineup. It gets an AWD layout, but this drivetrain is offered with the higher-spec trims with the 75kWh battery pack. Lower trims feature an RWD setup that produces 175hp and 315Nm. The AWD version gets the same rear-axle motor along with a 116hp front-axle-mounted unit for a total of 504Nm. With a claimed 0-100kph sprint time of 6.3 seconds, the Harrier EV AWD is slightly slower than the Vinfast VF7 and also costs more.

4. Mahindra XEV 9e

Up to 656km claimed range

Price (Rs lakh)	21.90-30.50

The XEV 9e is a born-electric SUV, which, incidentally, uses BYD’s proprietary Blade cell technology in its battery pack. This rear-wheel-drive model’s motor produces 231hp with the 59kWh battery and 286hp with the 79kWh unit; torque is 380Nm for both. The claimed range is over 650km for the 79kWh version. Although the XEV 9e leans towards the expensive side, its specifications help it offer great value for the price.

3. Mahindra XEV 9S

Up to 679km claimed range

Price (Rs lakh)	19.95-29.45

The Mahindra XEV 9S is the first mass-market 3-row electric SUV in India, and it is the only model on this list to get three battery pack options. All come paired with a rear-wheel-drive motor that produces 380Nm but have different power outputs – 231hp in the 59kWh version, 245hp in the 70kWh version and 286hp in the 79kWh version. Notably, even though the XEV 9S gets bigger battery packs and an additional row compared to the XEV 9e, it has a lower price tag, making it offer more value for less money.

2. Tata Sierra EV

Up to 665km claimed range

The Sierra EV is Tata’s latest addition to its EV range, slotting between the Cuvv EV and Harrier EV. It is powered by either a 63kWh or a 75kWh battery pack from the Harrier. The latter option also offers an AWD layout, while an RWD layout is standard. With the 63kWh battery pack, the motor produces 238hp, while it delivers 208hp in the 75kWh guise, with torque at 315Nm in both versions. Meanwhile, AWD versions add a front-mounted motor developing 140hp, while torque is bumped to 504Nm. Tata claims a 0-100kph time of 5.8 seconds for the AWD version, equaling that of the VF7’s.

Price (Rs lakh)	18.90-26.90

The BE 6 is identical to the XEV 9e under its skin, so it carries over the same rear-wheel-drive layout and battery pack options, arguably in a more stylish package. It is also slightly smaller and lighter than the XEV 9e, which is what gives it the edge in terms of range. With 683km on a single charge with the larger 79kWh battery pack, it has the highest claimed range among all mainstream electric SUVs in India.

E20 Petrol: एथेनॉल वाले पेट्रोल को लेकर मचे बवाल के बीच अब सरकार ने इसकी ये 3 बड़ी खूबियां बताईं, तीसरी वाली पर ज्यादा जोर

Posted on July 3, 2026July 3, 2026 by admin

E20 Petrol: सोशल मीडिया पर इथेनॉल-मिश्रित पेट्रोल की व्यापक आलोचना के बीच, केंद्रीय पेट्रोलियम और प्राकृतिक गैस मंत्री हरदीप सिंह पुरी ने मिश्रित ईंधन के इस्तेमाल को लेकर जताई जा रही चिंताओं पर बात की। दिल्ली में एक प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में बोलते हुए, मंत्री ने बायोफ्यूल की अधिक मात्रा में ब्लेंडिंग को बढ़ावा देने के सरकार के कदम का बचाव किया। इसके अलावा, उन्होंने मध्य पूर्व संकट के कारण ईंधन की कीमतों में हुई बढ़ोतरी पर भी बात की।

क्या E20 पेट्रोल से माइलेज कम होता है?

इथेनॉल-ब्लेंडेड पेट्रोल के इस्तेमाल से माइलेज कम होने के बारे में बात करते हुए, केंद्रीय मंत्री ने कहा कि गाड़ी मालिकों को माइलेज में थोड़ी कमी दिख सकती है। साथ ही, उन्होंने यह भी बताया कि इथेनॉल-ब्लेंडेड पेट्रोल से गाड़ी की रफ्तार पकड़ने की क्षमता (एक्सेलरेशन) भी बेहतर होती है और बेहतर परफॉर्मेंस के लिए रेसिंग कारों में भी इसका इस्तेमाल किया जा रहा है।

मंत्री ने कहा, कुछ लोग दावा कर रहे हैं कि E20 पेट्रोल से माइलेज कम हो जाएगा। लेकिन यह पहले से साबित है कि एथेनॉल का इस्तेमाल रेसिंग कारों में भी किया जाता है। इससे गाड़ी की एक्सीलरेशन (तेजी पकड़ने की क्षमता) बेहतर होती है और “नॉकिंग” भी कम होती है। हालांकि, उन्होंने माना कि माइलेज में थोड़ी कमी आ सकती है, लेकिन यह बहुत मामूली होती है और कई कारणों पर निर्भर करती है।

इंश्योरेंस क्लेम

E20 पेट्रोल के इस्तेमाल की वजह से इंश्योरेंस क्लेम रिजेक्ट होने की अफवाहों पर बात करते हुए, केंद्रीय मंत्री ने फिर कहा कि इंश्योरेंस कंपनियों ने पहले ही ऐसी बातों को खारिज कर दिया है। मंत्री ने अपने बयान में कहा, “कोई कहता है, ‘अब आपका इंश्योरेंस इसे कवर नहीं करेगा’। इंश्योरेंस कंपनियों ने पहले ही साफ़ कर दिया है कि ऐसी कोई समस्या नहीं है।”

ज्यादा इथेनॉल-ब्लेंड वाले ईंधन

केंद्रीय मंत्री हरदीप सिंह पुरी ने यह भी कहा, “इलेक्ट्रिक वाहनों और बायोफ्यूल-ब्लेंडेड वाहनों के लिए गुंजाइश है, और अभी हम इथेनॉल ब्लेंडिंग के मामले में 20% के स्तर पर हैं। अगर हम 20% से 25% की ओर बढ़ते हैं, तो ऐसा सभी जरूरी टेस्ट पूरे होने के बाद ही होगा। उन्होंने कहा, हाइब्रिड वाहनों और CNG वाहनों के लिए भी काफी गुंजाइश है।”

बता दें कि सरकार ने पहले 22%, 25%, 27% और 30% इथेनॉल-ब्लेंडेड पेट्रोल के लिए BIS स्टैंडर्ड्स की घोषणा की थी और साथ ही इन ईंधनों पर एक्साइज ड्यूटी में छूट भी दी थी। हालांकि, बाद में पुरी के मंत्रालय ने साफ किया कि ये कदम पूरी तरह से रेगुलेटरी थे और इनका मतलब यह नहीं था कि ज्यादा इथेनॉल-ब्लेंडेड ईंधन तुरंत लॉन्च किए जा रहे हैं।
