Tata Sierra To Likely Come In Multiple Powertrain – 4×4 Possible

The Tata Sierra will likely be offered in both ICE and EV versions; Launch in the Indian market in 2025

Tata Motors unveiled the Sierra EV concept at the 2023 Auto Expo. This was the second time the Sierra concept was showcased after its initial preview at the 2020 Auto Expo. The near-production version of the Sierra EV gave a good idea of what to expect from the SUV at the time of launch and it is scheduled to go on sale sometime next year.

There’s no denying the fact that the Indian carmaker is keen to bring the legendary Sierra moniker back to life in a modern avatar and it is expected to come in both EV and ICE versions. Let’s look at the details of the upcoming Tata Sierra and its powertrain options.

To begin with, the Sierra will be based on Tata’s advanced Gen 2 Sigma architecture which is a heavily modified version of the existing ALFA platform. This new architecture sports a flexible nature and is compatible with both ICE as well EV powertrain configurations. In terms of dimensions, the upcoming Tata SUV will measure around 4.3 meters in length, bringing it into the territory of other mid-size SUVs in the market like the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and more. For reference, the Tata Harrier measures around 4.6 meters long.

Under the hood, the electric Sierra will get the option of a dual motor AWD setup channelling power to all four wheels. The single motor 2-wheel drive configuration will also be a part of the package. The claimed range will be upwards of 500 kilometres on a single charge and the SUV will support around 100-150 kW fast DC charging speeds.

On the other hand, the ICE version will draw power from Tata Motor’s upcoming 1.5-litre tGDi petrol engine mated to a DCA gearbox. A 6-speed manual transmission will also be offered as an option. The power output will be rated at 168 bhp and 280 Nm of peak torque. The 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine could also be offered at the time of launch, however, there’s no official confirmation on this.
