The Sierra EV is a big leap for the Tata brand in terms of power as well as technology. In simple terms this is an EV which packs in more than 300 bhp and is more powerful than some luxury cars! The Sierra EV is fast with the dual motor version and yet isn’t thirsty because there is no engine as with a comfortable range of 500km plus real world, the running cost is very less. Plus, the dual motor AWD Sierra brings in more off-road ability and does things which you don’t expect from an EV at all. The ground clearance is ample and it performs many tricks including showing the underside of the car when off-roading to controlling traction with various modes. Plus, there are a lot of features where you can remotely park the car, play games and do lots more along with the usual premium car features as well. Yes, at near Rs 26 lakh, the Sierra EV in its top spec avatar is indeed expensive but you also get heaps of technology as well as sheer performance of not one but two motors. The Sierra EV QWD is for the performance enthusiast and who is not shy about getting a fast but tech loaded car while willing to pay the right money for it. EVs have come of age and now are more about performance rather than just saving money!

The first electric car from Toyota is here and it is the Urban Cruiser Ebella which comes with a sleek new look along with two battery packs. The front end has a distinctive face with a chunky stance while the proportions are muscular too. It is the first Toyota EV and looks different while the interiors have a layered dashboard with a twin colour look which adds to the plush feel. There are plenty of features too while space is decent if not exactly the class benchmark. Even the boot is small. The Urban Cruiser Ebella drives keenly and feels taut though with a nice acceleration which brings in the relentless torque surge of an EV. Even the range is quite good and you would get near 400km per charge with the car. The Ebella is their first attempt and is a distinctive design even if lacking space but coming in with the Toyota peace of mind that is also a part of the its appeal.
