Meanwhile, the all-wheel drive version of the Sierra EV gets off-road features like six terrain modes (Normal, Grass/Snow, Mud, Sand, Rock Crawl, Custom), under-bonnet view, low-speed cruise control, and 540-degree surround view.
Exterior design of the Tata Sierra EV
The exterior styling of the electric Sierra is identical to its ICE counterpart. However, it gets the typical EV makeover, which includes a blanked-off front grille, a new connected LED lightbar above the grille, a redesigned front bumper with aero dams and silver garnish along with piano black highlights.
The side and rear profile of the Sierra EV are almost identical to the ICE version, save for the new aerodynamic dual-tone alloy wheels, which range from 18 inches to 19 inches.
Interior design and features
The cabin layout of the electric Sierra is also similar to the ICE version. It continues to offer a 5-seater layout with a light-dark dual-tone interior theme that is accentuated by the leather upholstery and features like a triple connected screen layout, wireless charging, electric seat adjustment with ventilation, HUD, LED ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, electric tailgate and more.
The safety features of the Sierra EV include six airbags and Level 2 ADAS that offer adaptive cruise control, lane change assist, blind spot monitoring, rear-cross traffic alert, adaptive headlights, traffic sign recognition, pedestrian collision avoidance, and more.
