That old Tata Sierra? The one that ruled Indian highways through the ’90s with its tall, no-nonsense look? Yesterday Tata finally said it: the electric version launches mid-2026 (Tata Sierra EV). Rear-drive for city folks, all-wheel drive for everyone else. After years of concepts and spy photos, this feels real.
Caught those test mules myself last rainy season outside Pune—heavily wrapped but unmistakable. The shape’s spot-on: boxy shoulders, C-pillar windows wrapping around, slim LED headlights. No fake grille up front, just smooth EV lines and fat 20-inch wheels. Size-wise it’s 4.3 meters long, wheelbase pushes 2.65 meters so legroom won’t disappoint. RWD gets 60kWh battery (think 450km real driving), AWD steps to 75kWh with two motors for punchy acceleration. Charges fast too—150kW DC does 80% in half an hour.
Inside it’s changed completely. Two 12-inch screens side by side, one maps and tunes, other speed and warnings. Leather seats that cool you down, huge glass roof, JBL speakers bumping, lights that change mood. Steering wheel’s got that glowing Tata badge everyone talks about. Rear bench fits three adults no sweat, trunk swallows weekend bags easy. Drove a Curvv ev last month—same bones, quiet ride, solid build.
No skimping on safety. Auto-braking that works in traffic, lane help that doesn’t fight you, cruise control that thinks ahead. Cameras all around, six bags, traction control for slippery roads. Tata wants 5-stars again like their other EVs. Price hits right: RWD around ₹25 lakh start, AWD maybe ₹32 lakh loaded. Beats Mahindra’s big EV and whatever Hyundai cooks up.
Tata owns most EV sales here already. Sierra fills their upscale spot perfectly—road trips without gas stops. Pune factory revs up next summer, exports to follow. Bookings probably early ’26.
