The Tata Sierra.EV has just gone on sale in India, with an ex-showroom starting price of Rs 18.79 Lakh. It comes in six trims and with two battery options. Bookings are open and deliveries will start on July 15, 2026.
The electric version of the iconic Sierra nameplate will face competition from mid-size electric SUV models like Maruti eVitara, Mahindra BE6, Hyundai Creta Electric and VinFast VF6.
With the launch, Tata Motors has strengthened its EV portfolio in the country. The Sierra.EV is positioned between the Curvv.EV and Harrier.EV. Now, all models except the Safari have both internal combustion and EV versions. The Safari is expected to get an EV iteration around Diwali this year.
Tata’s Chief Product Officer Anand Kulkarni says that the new Sierra.EV tries to excel in five key areas- comfort, charging speeds, off-road ability, safety and range.
The Sierra.EV has recognisable proportions and a design that reminds us of the internal combustion version. It retains iconic styling elements like the large panoramic rear window glasses, flush-type door handles and clamshell tailgate. The front fascia, however, is new and clean. It gets a new bumper, a closed-off grille section and connected LED DRLs.
The side view reminds you of the internal combustion version. It has the familiar tall stance and 19-inch wheels that look like those of the petrol/diesel version. The rear end gets connected LED tail lamps, a revised bumper and an upright windscreen area. In short, the electric version looks like a Sierra even while having enough cues to stay unique. Seven exterior colours are available on the Sierra.EV.
The EV has a wheelbase of 2730 mm and a boot space of 622 litres. The boot capacity is the same as that of the internal combustion version. Additionally, a 55-litre frunk is also offered. The ground clearance in this case, is 205mm.
Inside, the Sierra.EV gets a clean design, muted colours and premium trims. Sustainable materials have been used in various places of the cabin. There is also a strong focus on maximising cabin room.
The overall layout of the dashboard remains identical to that of the internal combustion version. Tata’s design team has made sure that the cabin feels like a living space.
The electric SUV comes with a long list of features. It has a massive panoramic sunroof that measures 1525 mm X 925 mm- the biggest in the segment. It also gets the three-screen setup like the internal combustion Sierra. The front passenger gets a 12-inch display.
A 12-speaker JBL Black audio system with Dolby Atmos (also available through Apple CarPlay) is also part of the infotainment package. It comes with a Sonicshaft soundbar and 13 JBL modes. The vehicle also supports the Arcade.ev gaming experience and OTT streaming. Furthermore, the AirConsole feature lets you play games on the car’s screen using your mobile phones.
Other features on offer include wireless charger, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, PM2.5 air purifier, HypAR HUD, powered and ventilated front seats with memory boss mode, and welcome functions, extendable thigh support, dual-zone climate control, digital key, auto-park features, level 2 ADAS with 22 features, iRA.ev connectivity suite, 540-degree camera with transparent view, DrivePay in-car UPI payment, ambient lighting, built-in EV route planner for Android Auto, and powered tailgate with gesture control.
The EV also comes equipped with six airbags, ABS with EBD, brake disc wiping, seat belt reminders and an electronic parking brake. It could score a full five-star Bharat NCAP safety rating.
The Sierra.EV is based on Tata’s Acti.EV+ platform, a dedicated electric architecture already seen on the Harrier.EV. It comes with TiDAL (Tata Intelligent Digital Architecture Layer) electronic architecture. It also supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging.
Two battery packs are available- 63kWh and 75kWh. These use cell to pack architecture. The larger is claimed to deliver a real world range of over 500 km per charge (C75 cycle). The claimed range is about 665km. The smaller unit claims a range of 565km (MIDC) and 440-460km (C75 real-world). Tata motors is also offering a lifetime battery warranty on the Sierra.EV.
The vehicle also supports high-speed charging. 263km of range can be topped up in just 15 minutes. 20% to 80% charging takes just around 26 minutes.
The powertrain produces 345hp and 504Nm of torque- nearly 50% more than segment standards. The Sierra.EV can do the 0-100 kph sprint in just 5.8 seconds- the fastest Tata currently on sale here.
The electric vehicle comes with ‘Ultra Glide Suspension’ (five-link setup at the rear) with Frequency Dependent Damping (FDD). This strikes a fine balance between ride and handling.
The vehicle also has six terrain modes- Normal, Grass / Snow, Mud ruts / gravel, Sand, Rock Crawl, Custom, along with selectable drive modes. There is even a ‘Boost mode’ that would unleash maximum performance.
Both single-motor and dual-motor versions are available. The dual-motor All Wheel Drive (AWD) version boasts serious off-road abilities. It claims more than 50% restart gradability and a running gradability of over 60%.
