Tata Sierra EV – The Retro Legend Goes Electric in 2025

Tata Sierra EV 2025

The Tata Sierra EV is a modern-day revival of the Sierra nameplate cherished in the 1990s with the launch of an all-electric SUV. Tata Motors is resurrecting the Sierra nameplate in a new avatar that fuses nostalgia with contemporary EV technology. The Sierra EV is expected to launch in India late in 2025 as a mid- to premium EV SUV. This article divines what we know so far: what you can expect from the design, performance, pricing, features and whether it's going to be worth waiting for.

Platform & Design

The Sierra EV is likely set to be developed on Tata's acti.ev/Gen2 EV platform since this platform is already used or also used in the Harrier EV, in other words, it is the same or similar.

Design inspiration is very much taken from the original Sierra: with its boxy shape, upright driving position, rear glass/windows that curve over to the back, squared-off wheel arches, door handles that have a low profile, front and rear LED light bars, and optional two-tone roof.

Size: expected overall length to be around 4.3 to 4.6 meters overall. Overall, it should be slightly bigger than a compact SUV but in the midsize EV SUV space.

Seating layout option likely to be both 5-seat variants and lounge/ 4-seat captain seat variant for back for something more premium comfort in higher trim levels.

Battery, Range & Powertrain Expectations

The battery packs will probably be available in 65 kWh and 75 kWh sizes; some sources even suggested a 55 kWh option.

Range estimates average out to about 450-550 km on a full charge, depending on battery size and trim.

Powertrain configurations: single-motor (front or rear) on the base variants, and dual-motor AWD on the higher trims are expected.

Performance expectations: 0-100 in 7-8 seconds for the higher trims; and a top speed of around 160km/h.

Price & Launch Timeline

Anticipated Launch: The late 2025 launch for Sierra EV (some have mentioned October / after Diwali).
