<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nTata Motors is all set to debut the Sierra in an all-electric avatar. The Sierra EV is scheduled to launch in India on June 30 and will join Tata’s growing EV portfolio as a premium midsize electric SUV. Ahead of its debut, the company has released a fresh teaser confirming one of the model’s biggest highlights: an all-wheel-drive (AWD) dual-motor setup.The upcoming Sierra EV is expected to take on rivals such as the Mahindra BE 6, Hyundai Creta Electric and Maruti Suzuki e Vitara in the increasingly competitive electric SUV segment.<\/p>\n The production-spec Sierra EV will closely resemble the ICE-powered Sierra. However, Tata has given the electric version its own identity with several EV-specific styling elements.Up front, the SUV gets a closed-off fascia with a body-coloured panel stretching across the width of the nose. A connected LED DRL strip sits on top, while the main headlamp units are positioned lower down. Besides, it also features vertically stacked LED fog lamps.At the rear, the Sierra EV features a full-width LED light bar, chunky bumper cladding and a silver skid plate. <\/p>\n One of the biggest takeaways from the latest teaser is the confirmation of a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. Tata is expected to use its Quad Wheel Drive technology, which made its debut on the Harrier EV.The AWD setup is likely to be reserved for higher trims, while more affordable variants could get a single-motor configuration driving one axle. The addition of AWD should improve traction and performance, especially on challenging road surfaces.<\/p>\n Tata is likely to position the Sierra EV as one of its most premium electric offerings. Lower variants could feature a dual-screen dashboard layout, while top-end versions are expected to get a triple-screen setup similar to the ICE Sierra.Expected features include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, powered tailgate and a 360-degree camera. The SUV is also likely to offer connected car technology, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a 12-speaker JBL audio system featuring Dolby Atmos support.<\/p>\n The Sierra EV is expected to sit between the Curvv EV and Harrier EV in Tata Motors’ electric lineup. Multiple battery pack options could be offered, including 55 kWh and 65 kWh units. Higher variants may also borrow the larger 75 kWh battery pack from the Harrier EV.Tata could also extend its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) programme to the Sierra EV. Under this model, buyers can purchase the vehicle separately from the battery and opt for a subscription-based battery plan, potentially reducing the upfront cost of ownership.<\/p>\n The Mahindra BE 6 is currently one of the most talked-about electric SUVs in the segment. Built on Mahindra’s dedicated INGLO platform, the BE 6 is offered with 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery pack options and delivers an ARAI-certified range of over 680 km in its larger battery version.With the Sierra EV expected to offer multiple battery options, premium features and now a confirmed AWD setup, Tata Motors appears ready to take the fight to the BE 6 and other rivals in the midsize electric SUV space. More details, including specifications, battery options and pricing, will be revealed when the Sierra EV makes its official debut on June 30.<\/div>\nDesign: Familiar Sierra silhouette with EV-specific touches<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
