Tata Motors had first showcased the Sierra concept SUV at the 2020 Auto Expo. This brand name was popular in India a few decades back and it seems the company will relaunch the name next year. Unlike the previous Sierra that was powered by a diesel engine, the new 2023 model could be a full e-SUV. It is likely that the company will showcase it at the upcoming 2023 Auto Expo. If this happens, we could finally see the Tata Sierra EV in production form. The images you see here are of the concept stage.
Tata Motors has not divulged into any details on the model yet. However we do know that it will be 4150mm long, 1820mm wide and 1675mm high. It will be positioned above the Nexon EV in terms of size, specifications and pricing. The Tata Sierra EV will be a fresh model and made keeping electric mobility and components in mind. Have an architecture that is meant purely for EV use makes it better in terms of space management as well. You can have dedicated space for batteries and motors and without having to worry about conventional parts like a fuel tank or an exhaust system.
Tata Motors has worked hard to offer meaningful electric vehicles in India. The portfolio currently consists of the Nexon EV, Nexon EV Maxx and Tigor EV. The Sierra EV could become the flagship model and should ideally come with a certified range of over 500km. As seen in these images here, the model does bear some resemblance with the original Sierra. This is evident with the fixed second row glass area that also acts as a sunroof. The Sierra EV Concept continues the development of the IMPACT 2.0 design language creating vehicles that look sharp and reflect the contemporary expression of Tata Motors design. We have seen these reflections in SUVs like the Punch, Harrier and the Safari. This will be the third vehicle based on the new ‘Agile Light Flexible Advanced’ (ALFA) Architecture.
Watch this space for more updates later this year. In the meantime, do have a look at our review of the 2022 Tata Nexon EV Maxx.
