Tata Motors is all set to resurrect the Sierra nameplate with the automaker having showcased the vehicle in concept form at the last two Auto Expos. The Sierra EV concept was originally unveiled at the 2020 iteration of the auto show with an updated model with a 5-door layout being unveiled at the 2023 Auto Expo.
The new patent image shows that the production model has evolved little from the 2023 concept with a near-identical exterior design. The simple lines, closed-off grille, and split headlamps have been retained. The bumper has been revised and now sports the vertical slats as seen on the new Tata Nexon EV facelift. The LED DRL runs across the width of the front and is likely to get a start-up sequence as well as integrated sequential turn indicators.

The profile further shows elements like body cladding on the lower part of the doors, the ‘.EV’ badge on the front doors, and the funky alloy wheel design that has been carried over from the concept version. Also familiar is the large glasshouse area on the profile that is reminiscent of the Land Rover Discovery and gives the Sierra EV 5-door a very rugged vibe from the side. The massive glasshouse should also translate to a roomier cabin feel overall.
Moving to the cabin, the production SUV could retain much of the design elements seen in the 2023 concept. The Sierra.EV concept featured a minimalist dashboard design with twin wide-screen displays sitting atop the dashboard and touch-sensitive controls near the base of the centre console for various in-car functions.

Meanwhile, Tata Motors has plenty of other launches in the pipeline including the the Curvv in EV and internal combustion spec and the Harrier EV.
