The Tata Sierra EV SUV concept stole the spotlight at this year’s Auto Expo, and the anticipation for its production-ready version, slated for a 2025 debut, continues to build. Despite the market launch being a couple of years away, a design patent for the electric SUV has surfaced, providing intriguing insights. The SUV’s front fascia exudes aggression with a closed-off grille, a massive bumper housing headlamps, a prominent skid plate and bonnet, and a width-spanning LED strip.
Moving to the side profile, flush door handles complement the thick cladding on the lower half of the body, featuring a distinctive kink on the B-pillar. The C & D-pillars boast a significant glass area, and the large alloy wheels contribute to the SUV’s robust stance. The leaked patent suggests that the final production version of the Sierra EV will closely mirror the striking design showcased in the concept.
The Sierra EV concept showcases a future-ready aesthetic while retaining the iconic silhouette and curved-over rear-side windows. While the original Sierra from the 90s had a distinctive three-door setup (two side doors and one rear door), the new EV concept omits the rear door on the right-hand side. Instead, the left side incorporates a sliding rear door, covering the glass area and B-pillar. Read: Tata Curvv SUV (Electric and Petrol) – Price Expectations
Based on the heavily modified Alfa platform (Gen 2), which also underpins the Altroz hatchback, the Sierra EV promises a futuristic interior. The cabin features a lounge-like seating area with a rear bench and a front passenger seat that swivels around to face the rear. Packed with advanced features such as ADAS, a free-standing touchscreen infotainment system, an electric sunroof, digital driver display, and ambient mood lighting, the Sierra EV aims to deliver a cutting-edge driving experience.
The Tata Sierra EV will offer a standard 5-seater configuration, with the top-end variant exclusively providing a four-seater lounge option. The latter configuration includes two captain seats that can be reclined and adjusted both front and back. While specifications of the Tata Sierra EV are yet to be revealed, the concept’s dimensions have been disclosed, measuring 4,150mm in length, 1,820mm in width, and 1,675mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,450mm.
