<cite index="1-12,1-13">Tata's next electric offering after the 2026 Tiago EV will be the Sierra EV, expected to launch this month. In the carmaker's line-up, it will sit under the Harrier EV and will be offered with both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions.</cite> However, some reports suggest the launch may slip to the second quarter of FY2026-27.

<cite index="9-3,9-4">The Sierra EV will be among Tata Motors' most important launches this year and is expected to arrive with 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery pack options borrowed from the Harrier EV. Single-motor rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive variants are likely to be offered with the larger battery expected to deliver a real-world driving range of over 500 km.</cite>

The design is expected to retain the Sierra's signature window-line inspiration while adopting a futuristic EV identity.</cite>

<cite index="9-5">The production-spec model will feature a triple-screen dashboard layout, panoramic sunroof, V2L and V2V charging functions, Level 2 ADAS and connected technologies.</cite> These features position the Sierra EV as a premium offering in Tata's electric SUV portfolio, sitting between the Curvv EV and the flagship Harrier EV.

<cite index="9-6,9-7">Prices are expected to start from around Rs. 18 lakh (ex-showroom).</cite> This pricing would make it competitive against the MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona Electric whilst offering distinctive styling that sets it apart from conventional SUV designs.

What it means for Indian buyers: The Sierra EV represents Tata's attempt to blend heritage with modern electric mobility. With dual battery options up to 75 kWh and AWD capability, it caters to buyers seeking both range and performance. The expected ₹18 lakh starting price makes it accessible whilst the 500+ km range addresses India's charging infrastructure concerns. V2L and V2V functions add practical utility for camping and emergency power needs. If launched in June, it will strengthen Tata's dominance in India's EV segment.
