Tata Motors has launched the Sierra EV at a starting price of Rs 18.79 lakh. The electric SUV arrives just over seven months after the ICE-powered Sierra, and serves as a more direct rival to the Mahindra BE 6, Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, Vinfast VF6, Hyundai Creta Electric, and MG ZS EV than the Curvv EV, which was Tata’s prior contender for this segment.

Tata Sierra EV battery and range
63kWh and 75kWh battery options
Built on the same Acti.ev+ architecture as the Tata Harrier EV, the Sierra EV borrows the larger SUV’s TiDAL E&E architecture. Battery options comprise 63kWh and 75kWh units, both of which get a single rear-mounted motor (RWD) as standard, with the larger pack additionally offering a dual-motor AWD layout as well, which makes 504Nm. With Boost Mode enabled, the Sierra EV AWD accelerates from 0-100kph in a claimed 5.8 seconds.
The Sierra EV AWD also comes with off-road-centric features like six terrain modes (Normal, Grass/Snow, Mud/Gravel, Sand, Rock Crawl, and Custom), low-speed cruise control, and a 540-degree camera (360-degree surround with underfloor view.
Coming to MIDC-certified range, the Sierra EV claims up to 665km for its 75kWh variants and 565km for the 63kWh versions. Tata also boasts a range top-up of up to 263km in 15 minutes when using a 120kW DC fast charger, with a 20-80 percent charge taking around 26 minutes. Like the rest of Tata’s EV line-up, the Sierra EV also comes with a lifetime battery warranty, which actually just refers to the 15-year period from the date of registration.
Tata Sierra EV exterior design
Mostly similar to the ICE Sierra on the outside
As is the case with Tata’s electric cars, the Sierra EV looks largely similar to its ICE counterpart, but with minor distinctions. The front end of the Sierra EV ditches the full-width blacked-out section between the light bar and headlamps that the ICE version has, and it doesn’t sport ‘SIERRA’ lettering above the Tata emblem too.
Moreover, the Sierra EV’s front bumper design is different, with much more gloss black trim. The side profile and rear end of the Sierra EV are identical to those of its ICE sibling, save for EV-specific badging and lettering. As for ground clearance, the Sierra EV is rated at 205mm.
Tata Sierra EV interior and features
Same feature-loaded and spacious interior layout as its ICE counterpart
Even on the inside, the Sierra EV is identical in layout to the ICE version, but with slight variances in colour scheme. The Sierra EV also claims the same 622-litre boot space (measured up to the roof) as that of the ICE Sierra – when measured up to the parcel shelf, the boot space is 450 litres. Total luggage space with the rear seats folded stands at 1,257 litres.
Depending on the variant, the Sierra EV offers features like a triple-screen setup, ambient lighting, a 12-speaker JBL Black sound system, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, Boss mode, cabin air purifier, powered and ventilated front seats, a powered tailgate, Level 2 ADAS, connected car tech, auto park assist, a heads-up display, a digital key, over-the-air (OTA) updates, 6 airbags as standard, V2L and V2V functionality, and more. It even borrows the summon mode and DrivePay in-car payment feature from the Harrier EV.
