Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ
8/10 SEV score
Expert Verdict
Built from the ground up, featuring massive BYD-sourced battery packs, the BE 6 SPORTEQ offers blistering performance, immense range, and a level of equipment unlike anything else. Yes, its outlandishness makes it more of an illogical indulgence, and as a complex flagship, it does miss a bit of final polish.
Hyundai Creta Electric
8/10 SEV score
Expert Verdict
For a family that wants a smooth transition to electric without learning a whole new "car language," the Hyundai Creta EV is a very safe and polished bet.
Based on SEV score and how each EV scores on price, range, battery, charging time, speed, power and boot space.
