Tata Sierra To Be Revived As An EV

After the success of the Nexon EV, Tata Motors has established itself as the Indian EV market leader. Charged with this success the brand is aggressively moving ahead establishing a new EV subsidiary TPEML and a war chest of INR 15,000 crore on product development, Tata Motors has announced that it will have a 10-EV portfolio in the next five years.One of those 10 models is a car that we enthusiasts have known and loved for a long long time, the Tata Sierra. The Sierra, also known as Telco was the first true SUV from Tata Motors. It featured a unique three-door design and an iconic styling feature in the form of long rear windows that curved upwards into the roof. It was based on a pick-up truck platform, powered by a 2.0-liter diesel engine, and got the option of 4WD.The Tata Sierra will soon make a big, electrifying comeback. Sources tell us it has now been green-lit for production, and what makes it particularly significant is that it will be Tata’s first stand-alone EV-only model and the first on a new ‘Born Electric’ platform. The Sierra EV will adopt some of the original model’s styling cues. But, apart from a few touches, it will have no resemblance to its predecessor whatsoever. The EV will even come with a 5-door layout.The market launch of the Sierra EV is not expected to happen before 2025 and Tata will introduce several electric cars such as the Nexon Coupe, electric Punch, and electric Altroz, to name a few before the car with the iconic name gets its chance to officially debut.
