While both the electric cars you have shortlisted are capable, they will both be outside of your budget. Besides, given that half your driving – while not excessive – is on the highway, we would recommend sticking with a petrol or diesel car for now.
The Tata Harrier and Safari are good cars, and have just been updated with Tata Motors’ new 1.5-litre Hyperion turbo petrol engine. With 170hp and 280Nm, it’s powerful enough, if not outright strong in feel, and impressively smooth and refined.
While the diesel versions are also good options, the new petrol versions will suit your budget better. The Tata Safari and Harrier are spacious and comfortable vehicles with long equipment lists and premium-feeling interiors.
