Design and Exterior Features

The Sierra EV's front fascia differs from the ICE model, removing the black closed grille and adopting a clean, minimalistic look. The Tata logo is centered on the front, with a front camera positioned below it. The SUV features sleek LED daytime running lights, horizontally placed headlamps, and vertically arranged fog lamps. The 'Sierra' badge is absent from the front in the EV version. The front bumper is seamless, with integrated airdam and front parking sensors, and a silver lower section enhances its rugged appearance.

From the side, the Sierra EV maintains a similar profile to its ICE counterpart. It includes flush door handles, a 'Tata.ev' logo on the front doors, integrated roof rails, and a charging port above the rear wheel cladding. The outside rear view mirrors and A-pillar are blacked out, and a black shark-fin antenna is mounted on the roof. The C-pillar and roofline are also blacked out, with a design nod to the original Sierra's alpine glass silhouette.

The rear of the Sierra EV features extended haunches for a muscular stance, an upright section, and an integrated spoiler. A connected taillamp runs across the tailgate, with Tata and Sierra EV badging below the strip. The rear bumper is blacked out with a silver accent, and houses the rear camera, registration plate, and parking sensors.

The Sierra EV is offered in seven color options. The Empowered variant is available in six: Pristine White, Pure Grey, Coorg Cloud, Bengal Rouge, Andaman Adventure, and Rishikesh Rapids. The Nainital Nocturne color is exclusive to the AWD variant.
