The Tata Sierra EV is the latest entrant in the mid-size electric SUV segment, priced between Rs 18.79 lakh and Rs 25.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Currently, the segment is loaded with options like Maruti eVitara, Toyota Ebella, Hyundai Creta Electric, MG ZS EV, and Mahindra BE 6, of which the eVitara and BE 6 are performing well in the market thanks to their promising range and attractive price range. So, here we have put together both of these offerings against the Sierra EV to see which SUV makes more sense: –

- As the table above shows, all three EVs come with two battery pack options, allowing buyers to choose according to their driving requirements.
- Both the BE 6 and Sierra EV come with larger battery pack options; however, the latter also gets the segment’s first dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup.
- Thanks to the BE 6’s aerodynamic design, its smaller 59 kWh unit claims more range than the eVitara’s 61 kWh and Sierra’s 63 kWh units. However, the real-world range could vary, depending upon your driving style, vehicle load, AC temperature, and driving speed.
- In the case of single-motor variants, the BE 6 also produces much more power and torque. However, due to the additional motor, the Sierra EV AWD variant offers the highest output.
