Electric Sierra Launch To Follow
After the launch of the internal combustion versions, Tata Motors is also preparing an all-electric Sierra as part of its expanding EV line-up. This model is expected to arrive after the ICE variants are on the road, likely sometime in 2026. The EV will use the brand’s Gen 2 EV architecture, promising longer range and improved performance compared to Tata’s current EV offerings. This strategy allows Tata to target a wider buyer base — from conventional fuel users to early EV adopters — with the same iconic nameplate.
