Tata Motors is set to redefine the Indian SUV market with the upcoming Tata Sierra EV, a modern revival of its iconic 90s counterpart. First unveiled as a concept at the 2023 Auto Expo, the Sierra EV has now been spotted in production-ready form, showcasing its bold design and advanced EV technology. This ground-up electric SUV is expected to set benchmarks in both design and performance, offering Tata's hallmark reliability with a futuristic touch.
Exterior Design: A Fusion of Heritage and Modernity
The Tata Sierra EV blends nostalgia with contemporary aesthetics. While the original Sierra was a 3-door SUV, the new model opts for a more practical 5-door layout. It retains signature features like the distinctive glass panel on the C-pillar, creating a seamless wraparound effect.
The boxy bonnet, connected LED DRLs, flush door handles, and blacked-off grille lend the Sierra EV a rugged yet futuristic vibe. Squarish wheel arches, sporty alloy wheels, and thick body cladding enhance its butch stance. At the rear, the sharp tail lamps with a full-width LED strip add to its bold profile.
Interior and Features: Comfort Meets Technology
The Tata Sierra EV is expected to boast a feature-rich cabin, designed to provide luxury and convenience.
The basic features expected are:
- Digital instrument cluster with integrated navigation.
- Dual-zone climate control and wireless charging.
- 360-degree camera and a Level 2 ADAS suite for added safety.
- A panoramic sunroof to amplify the SUV’s premium appeal.
Platform and Powertrain: Cutting-Edge Technology
The Sierra EV will be based on Tata's Acti.EV platform, which also underpins the Curvv EV. The SUV is rumored to feature multiple battery options, likely 45 kWh and 55 kWh packs, delivering a range of approximately 500-550 km. While the base variant is expected to feature a single motor with RWD, a dual-motor AWD variant may also be in the pipeline.
Launch Timeline and Strategy
Tata Motors will adopt a phased strategy for the Sierra EV, similar to its Curvv lineup. The EV version is expected to debut in late 2025, followed by the ICE variant in 2026. A preview of the production model could take place around the festive season in 2025.
