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.
Tata Sierra EV
8/10 SEV score
Expert Verdict
The Sierra.ev is arguably the most complete EV Tata has built to date, wrapping a genuinely handsome, boxy shape around a battery pack that barely dents the practicality of the ICE version underneath it. The option of all-wheel drive, and a features list that reads like a wishlist all work in its favour. What holds it back from a clean sweep is something Tata buyers have heard before: patchy fit and finish, a scattering of odd ergonomic choices, and the complete absence of a spare wheel.
Based on SEV score and how each EV scores on price, range, battery, charging time, speed, power and boot space.
