Tata Sierra EV top-spec vs Harrier EV mid-spec: Features, specs compared

Tata Sierra EV top-spec vs Harrier EV mid-spec variants compared

The recently launched Tata Sierra EV is positioned right below its larger sibling, the Harrier EV. However, there’s quite a lot of pricing overlap between the two Tata electric SUVs. To that end, we’ve compared the top-spec Sierra EV Empowered A 75 to the mid-spec Harrier EV Fearless+ 75 to find out which variant delivers better value on paper.

Explore full specs, features, and a price breakdown in our Sierra EV vs Harrier EV comparison.

Tata Sierra EV top-spec vs Harrier EV mid-spec: Dimensions

Harrier EV is longer and wider, but Sierra EV is taller and offers greater boot space

Tata Sierra EV Empowered A 75 vs Harrier EV Fearless+ 75 dimensions

 Sierra EVHarrier EV
Length (mm)4,3404,607
Width (mm)1,8411,922
Height (mm)1,7501,740
Wheelbase (mm)2,7302,741
Boot space (litres)622502
Frunk space (litres)55 (RWD) / 35 (AWD)67 (RWD) / 35 (AWD)
Wheel size (inches)1919

Expectedly, the Harrier EV is 267mm longer than the Sierra EV, but there’s only an 11mm difference between their wheelbases, suggesting that the smaller SUV doesn’t lose out on much interior space. While the Harrier EV is 81mm wider than the Sierra EV, the latter is 10mm taller. Wheel sizes are matched at 19 inches for both electric SUVs.

Interestingly, the Sierra EV offers 120 litres of additional boot space over the Harrier EV – it’s worth nothing that both SUVs’ boot capacity is measured up until the roof, as opposed to the conventional method, which is up to the parcel tray. In terms of frunk capacity, the RWD Harrier EV offers the bigger one, while their AWD versions are matched in this regard.

Tata Sierra EV top-spec vs Harrier EV mid-spec: Battery and range

Harrier EV offers more power, Sierra EV is quicker and claims higher range figures

Claimed 0-100kph time (seconds)5.8 (AWD)6.3 (AWD)
MIDC range (km)665 / 624627 / 622

Both the Sierra EV and Harrier EV get 75kWh battery packs, along with single-motor (RWD) and dual-motor (AWD) options. The Harrier EV edges ahead in terms of powertrain output, though the RWD versions of both SUVs feature identical torque figures. Despite the Sierra EV’s slightly lower output, its AWD variant is half a second quicker in the 0-100kph run compared to that of the Harrier EV – this is on account of the Sierra EV being smaller and lighter.

Similarly, MIDC-claimed range is a total victory for the Sierra EV as well. The Sierra EV AWD’s claimed range is 2km higher than that of the Harrier EV AWD, while the RWD version can travel 38km more on a single charge.

Tata Sierra EV top-spec vs Harrier EV mid-spec: Charging times

Both electric SUVs trade punches here

Tata Sierra EV Empowered A 75 vs Harrier EV Fearless+ 75 charging times and warranty details

Vehicle warranty3 years/1,25,000km (whichever is earlier) 3 years/1,25,000km (whichever is earlier) 

Despite battery capacities being identical for both electric SUVs, the Harrier EV takes slightly longer to charge from 10-100 percent via a 7.2kW AC outlet. On the other hand, the Harrier EV is marginally quicker in a 20-80 percent top-up from a 120kW DC fast charger. Tata offers the same battery, motor, and vehicle warranties for the Harrier EV and Sierra EV, so buyers can rest easy on this front.

Tata Sierra EV top-spec vs Harrier EV mid-spec: Exterior features

Harrier EV additionally offers side step and charging indicator function for the front light bar

Coming to exterior features, the Sierra EV and Harrier EV are near-identical. However, the Sierra EV does miss out on a charging indicator in the front light bar, with it instead being situated on the charging port. The Harrier EV additionally offers a side step too, which makes ingress and egress a tad easier.

Tata Sierra EV top-spec vs Harrier EV mid-spec: Interior features

Sierra EV is the only Tata electric car to offer a triple-screen setup

Despite its lower positioning, the Sierra EV pulls a clear lead over the Harrier EV in terms of cabin equipment. Features like a 12.3-inch passenger display, a 12-speaker JBL sound system, and a heads-up display are not offered even on the top-spec Harrier variant. In fact, the Sierra EV is the only electric Tata to come with a triple-screen setup at the moment.

Tata Sierra EV top-spec vs Harrier EV mid-spec: Driving features

Sierra EV comes with extra terrain mode and adaptive cruise control

Both the top-spec Sierra EV and mid-spec Harrier EV are very similar on the driving features front. However, the Sierra EV gets an additional ‘Custom’ terrain mode in the RWD version, as well as adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality. The latter is much more convenient than the Harrier EV’s standard cruise control, as it can automatically adjust the speed based on proximity to nearby vehicles, and even come to a standstill and set off by itself. AWD versions of both SUVs get additional terrain modes too, namely Snow/Grass, Mud-Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, and Custom.

Tata Sierra EV top-spec vs Harrier EV mid-spec: Safety features

Harrier EV has 7 airbags and 5-star BNCAP rating, Sierra EV gets Level 2 ADAS and better camera setup

In the safety department, the Harrier EV holds some notable advantages, specifically a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating (the Sierra EV is yet to be tested, but will likely perform well too), 7 airbags, and driver drowsiness detection. The Sierra EV, though, trades punches with the Harrier EV thanks to safety features like Level 2 ADAS and a 540-degree camera (360-degree with underfloor view).

Tata Sierra EV top-spec vs Harrier EV mid-spec: Prices and verdict

Sierra EV is up to Rs 70,000 cheaper

10 most affordable SUVs in India

10 cheapest SUVs in India

SUVs attract Indian mass-market buyers thanks to their high ground clearances, ease of ingress/egress and greater perception of safety.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at the 10 cheapest SUVs you can currently buy in India, ranked in descending order of their base ex-showroom prices.

Viral Post: ‘1.2 लाख कमाकर भी खुश नहीं…’ सोशल मीडिया पर वायरल हुई टेक प्रोफेशनल की पोस्ट

Viral Post: अक्सर लोग सोचते हैं कि बड़े शहर में नौकरी और ज्यादा सैलरी का मतलब बेहतर जिंदगी होता है। वहीं हाल में ही एक टेक प्रोफेशनल ने सैलरी को लेकर किया गया पोस्ट सोशल मीडिया पर तेजी से वायरल हो रहा है। उन्होंने बताया कि मुंबई में अच्छी सैलरी मिलने के बाद भी उनका काफी पैसा किराए, आने-जाने और रोजमर्रा के खर्चों में खर्च हो जाता था। इसके कारण वह न तो ज्यादा बचत कर पा रहे थे और न ही मन की शांति महसूस कर रहे थे। वहीं, अपने छोटे शहर में कम कमाई के बावजूद उन्हें ज्यादा सुकून और बेहतर जीवन का अनुभव हुआ। सोशल मीडिया पर ये पोस्ट तेजी से वायरल हो रहा है।

पोस्ट में व्यक्ति ने बताया कि, मुंबई में 1.2 लाख रुपये महीने कमाने के बावजूद उन्हें उतना सुकून नहीं मिला, जितना अपने छोटे शहर में 40,000 रुपये में मिलता था। व्यक्ति ने बताया कि, बड़ी सैलरी हमेशा बेहतर जीवन की गारंटी नहीं होती, क्योंकि बड़े शहरों में रहने का खर्च और तनाव भी उतना ही ज्यादा होता है।

सोशल मीडिया पर किया पोस्ट

X पर अपनी पोस्ट में शुभ जैन ने लिखा, “मेरे होमटाउन में 40 हजार रुपये की कमाई, मुंबई में 1.2 लाख रुपये की सैलरी से ज्यादा बेहतर महसूस होती थी। मैं मुंबई में काम कर रहा था और हर महीने करीब 1.2 लाख रुपये हाथ में मिलते थे। सच कहूं तो कागज पर ये रकम काफी शानदार लगती थी, लेकिन महीने के अंत तक यह शायद ही कभी छह अंकों वाली सैलरी जैसी महसूस होती थी।”

 

बताए अपने खर्चे

शुभ जैन के अनुसार, मुंबई में उनकी 1.2 लाख रुपये की सैलरी का बड़ा हिस्सा खर्चों में चला जाता था। 1 BHK फ्लैट का किराया 30,000 रुपये, घरेलू खर्च करीब 60,000 रुपये, हाउस हेल्प और लॉन्ड्री पर 3,000 रुपये तथा बिजली और इंटरनेट पर 3,000 रुपये खर्च होते थे। इसके अलावा, फूड डिलीवरी पर 7,000 रुपये, यात्रा पर 5,000 रुपये और वीकेंड आउटिंग पर करीब 8,000 रुपये खर्च हो जाते थे, जिससे महीने के अंत तक बचत काफी कम रह जाती थी।

मेंटली थका हुआ था

उन्होंने लिखा, “मजेदार बात यह है कि 1.2 लाख रुपये कमाने के बाद भी, इसका एक बड़ा हिस्सा चुपचाप टियर-1 शहर में रहने की लागत में चला जाता था।” जैन के अनुसार, बड़े शहरों की सुविधाएं कई बार अतिरिक्त खर्च का कारण बन जाती हैं। उन्होंने कहा, “खाना बनाना है? तो खाना ऑर्डर कर दो। किराने की दुकान दूर है? तो ब्लिंकिट से मंगा लो। काम के बाद बहुत थक गए? कैब बुक कर लो। हफ्ता तनाव भरा रहा? तो वीकेंड पर खर्च करके खुद को राहत दो।” उन्होंने लिखा,”लेकिन एक समय के बाद मुझे एहसास हुआ कि मैं ज्यादा पैसा तो कमा रहा था, लेकिन मानसिक रूप से पहले से ज्यादा थका हुआ महसूस कर रहा था।”

घर पर मिल रही शांति

बड़े शहरों में नौकरी करने से करियर के बेहतर मौके मिलते हैं, लेकिन इसके साथ रहने का खर्च, लंबी यात्रा और व्यस्त लाइफस्टाइल जैसी चुनौतियां भी आती हैं। शुभ जैन ने बताया कि अपने होमटाउन लौटने के बाद उनकी मासिक आय घटकर करीब 40,000 रुपए रह गई, लेकिन इसके बावजूद उनकी जीवनशैली में पॉजिटिव बदलाव आया। उनका कहना है कि कम कमाई के बावजूद उन्हें पहले की तुलना में ज्यादा सुकून, बेहतर संतुलन और मानसिक शांति महसूस होने लगी, जिससे उनकी रोजमर्रा की जिंदगी अधिक आसान और आरामदायक हो गई। उन्होंने लिखा, “और सबसे अजीब बात यह है कि मैं यहां आकर सच में खुद को पहले से ज्यादा अमीर महसूस करने लगा!”

जैन ने साफ किया कि उनका मकसद किसी एक शहर को दूसरे से बेहतर बताना नहीं था। उन्होंने लिखा, “मैं ये नहीं कह रहा कि टियर-3 शहर, टियर-1 शहरों से बेहतर हैं। मुंबई ने मुझे प्रोफेशनल तौर पर आगे बढ़ने का मौका दिया, लेकिन मेरे होमटाउन ने मुझे फिर से जिंदगी को करीब से महसूस करना सिखाया।” जैन ने अंत में कहा,”एक समय पर मुझे एहसास हुआ कि अच्छी कमाई करना और अच्छी जिंदगी जीना, दोनों बिल्कुल अलग बातें हैं।”
