Tata Motors has finally launched the Sierra EV in India placing the revived nameplate into its electric SUV portfolio with two battery options, rear-wheel-drive and QWD dual-motor all-wheel-drive variants. The Sierra EV is offered with 63 kWh and 75 kWh LFP high-voltage battery packs and Tata has gone with a cell-to-pack battery layout and lifetime battery warranty.

The 75 kWh version has a claimed MIDC range of 665 km while the 63 kWh version is rated at 585 km on the same test cycle. It carries a starting price of Rs. 18.79 lakh while the top Empowered A 75 variant can be specified with QWD dual-motor AWD for an additional Rs. 1.2 lakh. The 63 kWh RWD range starts with Pure at Rs. 18.79 lakh, followed by Pure S at Rs. 19.99 lakh, Adventure at Rs. 20.99 lakh and Empowered at Rs. 22.79 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai).

The 75 kWh RWD range starts from Adventure at Rs. 22.19 lakh followed by Empowered at Rs. 23.79 lakh and Empowered A at Rs. 24.79 lakh. The 7.2 kW AC fast charger is optional at Rs. 49,000. The Sierra EV supports 120 kW DC fast charging and Tata says the battery can charge from 20 to 80 per cent in around 26 minutes. The 75 kWh version can add up to 263 km range in 15 minutes while the 63 kWh version can add up to 203 km in the same time.

The QWD dual-motor variant is the headline performance derivative. The rear motor produces 175 kW and 340 Nm while the front motor adds 103 kW and 164 Nm. Tata claims 4,922 Nm wheel torque for the QWD version and 2,857 Nm for the RWD version. The Sierra EV can sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.8 seconds in its quickest form.

Boost Mode, terrain modes and multi-level regenerative braking are part of the drive package. Tata also claims more than 50 per cent restart gradeability and more than 60 per cent running gradeability. These figures place the Sierra EV as a more capable electric SUV than a regular front-wheel-drive midsize EV. Practicality has received attention as well as it boasts a 622-litre boot and a 55-litre frunk.

Vehicle-to-Load support is rated at 3.3 kW while Vehicle-to-Vehicle charging is rated at 5 kW. These functions allow the SUV to power external devices and also transfer charge to another EV. The cabin has a triple-screen dashboard in higher variants and even the base equipment list itself includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Electronic parking brake, rear AC vents, rear window sunblind and fully automatic temperature control are also part of the standard features list.

Tata has confirmed wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay along with an EV route planner for Android Auto. The IRA.ev connected car suite is offered with a four-year free subscription and higher variants add a JBL Black premium audio system, Dolby Atmos, Apple CarPlay integrated with Dolby Atmos, multiple JBL sound profiles and first-in-segment Soundbar Mode.

The safety and parking suite has several notable additions. Six airbags and all-wheel disc brakes are present too. Top-spec variants bring Level 2+ ADAS, Auto Park Assist, 540-degree surround view, transparent bonnet view and Summon Mode which allows the vehicle to move forward or backward remotely in tight parking spaces.

The exterior feature list includes multi-link suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels, Bi-LED auto projector headlamps and rear wiper with washer. The Sierra EV also carries Tata’s latest EV styling cues with a closed-off front section, connected lighting, flush door handles, thick cladding and an upright silhouette inspired by the original Sierra.
