Tata Motors showcased a variety of products at the Bharat Mobility Expo in January 2025, including the ICE-powered Sierra in its near-production form.

Tata Sierra EV Launch and Testing

Tata Motors has begun testing the new Tata Sierra, with spy shots confirming a fully camouflaged test mule, likely the EV version, given its expected earlier launch.

The testing phase indicates the vehicle is nearing production, with the EV version set to hit the market in the coming months, possibly by mid-2025, and ICE versions to follow by the end of 2025.

Design and Features

The Tata Sierra EV boasts a contemporary design with a blanked-out grille, vertically stacked headlamps, and horizontally mounted LED DRLs. Inside, expect a luxurious setup with 12.3-inch screens, a panoramic sunroof, and ventilated seats, offering both 4-seat and 5-seat options, though the 4-seat layout’s production status is uncertain.

An interesting aspect is the Sierra EV’s potential range of around 500 km, which could position it as a strong contender in the electric SUV market, especially given its nostalgic design nods to the original Sierra.

Tata Sierra EV- Market Positioning and Competition

The Tata Sierra EV is positioned in the compact electric SUV segment, competing with models like the Mahindra XUV700 Electric, BYD Atto 3, Hyundai Creta EV, and potentially the electric versions of the Tata Harrier and Safari, depending on pricing.

The ICE version will rival popular compact SUVs such as the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, and Toyota Hyryder, leveraging its nostalgic appeal and modern features.
