The price of AWD in the Harrier EV is about Rs 60,000 higher than that of the Sierra EV. This is because the Harrier offers AWD on the Fearless variant, while the Sierra offers it only on the top Empowered A variant.
However, the top-spec Tata Harrier EV’s Empowered variant is around Rs 3 lakh more expensive than the Sierra EV’s fully loaded Empowered A variant.
Although the Sierra EV misses out on some features compared to the Harrier EV, the 3 lakh price difference between the top trims help to make the Sierra one of the value-for-money SUV.
While the Harrier EV is longer than the Sierra, the Sierra’s cabin feels more roomy due to its design, which helps improve the in-cabin experience during travel.
