For those who remember the 90s, the iconic Tata Sierra is returning as an EV, and Tata Motors has just confirmed a game-changing feature ahead of its June 30, 2026 launch: a dual-motor All-Wheel Drive (AWD) setup. Badged as "QWD Dual Motor," this system mounts electric motors on both axles to deliver instant torque and serious off-road adaptability. This gives the upcoming Sierra EV a massive segment advantage over two-wheel-drive rivals like the Hyundai Creta Electric and Mahindra BE6.

Expected to share the Harrier EV's 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery packs, the Sierra EV targets a driving range of 500 to 600+ km on a single charge. Design-wise, it beautifully blends nostalgia with the future, retaining the original's boxy silhouette and iconic wraparound rear window effect via blacked-out rear pillars, while adding modern connected LED lighting. Inside, the premium cabin steps up with an expected triple-screen layout, Level 2 ADAS, a 12-speaker JBL audio system, and a panoramic sunroof, ensuring it feels as modern as it looks.  

Slotted alongside the Harrier EV with an expected price of ₹20 Lakh to ₹25 Lakh (ex-showroom), the Sierra EV will go head-to-head with the Mahindra BE 6 and the Hyundai Creta EV. The Sierra EV's AWD capability could be the differentiator that redefines what Indian buyers expect from an electric SUV.
