Tata Motors has offered a fresh glimpse of the upcoming Sierra.ev, revealing several design updates that will distinguish it from its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart. While retaining the iconic Sierra silhouette, the electric SUV will feature EV-specific styling cues, including a revised front fascia with a closed-off grille design, unique alloy wheels and dedicated EV badging.
Inside, the Sierra.ev is expected to receive a redesigned steering wheel, new upholstery options and EV-specific trim elements, while retaining much of the feature-rich cabin seen on the standard Sierra.
The Sierra.ev will be positioned above the Sierra ICE in Tata Motors' product portfolio. The electric SUV is expected to share its battery pack and electric drivetrain architecture with the recently launched Harrier.ev.
One of the biggest talking points of the Sierra.ev will be the availability of a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup on higher variants. The entry-level versions are likely to feature a single-motor configuration, while the top-end model will offer dual motors, enabling AWD capability.
This would make the Sierra.ev one of the few vehicles in its segment to offer an AWD electric powertrain, giving it a distinct edge over rivals.
Tata Motors is scheduled to unveil the Sierra.ev on June 30, with pricing details expected to be announced at a later date. Once launched, it will compete with electric SUVs such as the Mahindra BE 6 and the Hyundai Creta Electric, among others.
With its retro-inspired design, advanced EV technology and AWD option, the Sierra.ev is shaping up to be one of Tata Motors' most anticipated electric vehicle launches.
