Tata Motors is ready to strengthen its EV lineup. The company is going to officially unveil the iconic Tata Sierra EV on June 30, which will be the 7th electric car of the brand. This is a big step after the Tiago EV, with the Safari EV and Altroz EV still to come. The Sierra EV will be positioned below the Harrier EV and will take on the Creta EV and other competition in the mid-size SUV segment.
With the EV specific elements shown in the teaser, the Sierra EV will offer a modern EV look while maintaining the classic Sierra appeal. After launch, it will become a premium offering in the Indian EV market, which will have a combination of spacious cabin, advanced features and powerful performance. It is expected that it will come with a range of 500+ km and AWD option, which will make it attractive as a family SUV. This car built on Tata's acti.ev+ platform will prove to be a milestone in the company's EV journey. Let's take a look at its design, battery and range details.
Design and interior
The teaser image shows the front fascia of the Sierra EV, which has an EV-specific closed-off grille. There are more body-coloured elements compared to the ICE version, giving a cleaner look. The clamshell bonnet, connected LED DRLs, the sleekest LED headlights in the segment, vertically arranged LED fog lights and cornering lamps are shared with the ICE version. Silver elements like the bull-bar, white surround of the Tata logo and blue highlights on the Tata.ev badge make the EV distinctive.
The interior of Tata Sierra EV is likely to be similar to the ICE version. The major highlights will be the triple screen layout (on the dashboard), soundbar, premium JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos, extensive soft touch materials, spacious cabin and large boot space.
