The newly launched Tata Sierra EV comes with its own distinct design elements but resembles largely its ICE counterpart, ensuring that design appeal remains the same as its ICE sibling. While both the Sierra EV and Sierra ICE share the same design silhouette and signature wrapped roof glass panelling, Tata Motors has made sure to add visual identifiers that set them apart:
Tata Sierra EV Fascia | What Is Different From Its ICE Sibling?
The Grille Section: The primary difference between the Sierra EV and Sierra ICE is their grille sections: the Sierra ICE has a functional front grille with integrated air vents for cooling. Meanwhile, the Tata Sierra EV comes with a closed-off front grille featuring body-colour-toned panelling for better aerodynamic efficiency and a clean appearance, something EVs typically have.
The New Bumper Design: The Sierra EV comes with a prominent gloss-black front bumper, which sits higher up than the ICE counterpart in the same place, and it wraps quite closely to the headlight fitments. Meanwhile, the Tata Sierra ICE comes with body-coloured panels in the same area, which sit quite low.
What Remains The Same: Both these vehicles feature the same headlight units with a lightbar running across the front section. Both the EV and ICE solutions come with vertically stacked fog lights and feature the same silver skid-plate setup.
Tata Sierra EV Side Profile | What Is Different?
The Side Badging: The easiest way to tell them apart is the side badging; the Tata Sierra EV comes with Tata.ev lettering integrated closer to the lower section of the front door area. Meanwhile, the ICE sibling comes with ‘Sierra’ marked across the same front door area.
What Is Shared: While the aforementioned are the subtle changes to the side profile, the side section retains the same glass-wrapped design – neo-retro since it resembles the 90s Sierra.
The Sierra EV Rear Section | What Makes It Different?
The Moniker: The tailgate and rear bumper design remain mostly the same for both the Tata Sierra EV and Tata Sierra ICE vehicles. The only differentiator is their badging; the Sierra EV is marked ‘Sierra.ev’, while the Sierra ICE counterpart features ‘Sierra’ lettering
What Remains Identical: The width extent of the rear section has integrated a “Light Sabre”; it is a connected LED taillight unit that features on both the Sierra EV and Sierra ICE.
The EV vs ICE Cabin Space | What Makes Them Unique?
Materials Used: The Sierra EV utilises light-coloured materials to give the appeal of an airy cabin space. The large glass area supports this purpose too. While the Tata Sierra EV uses light-toned, environment-friendly materials to suit the EV-specific trend – “eco-friendliness” – the Sierra ICE incorporates a traditional darker dual-tone coloured ICE SUV-like design, which makes it rugged.
What Seems Similar: Both the Tata Sierra EV and Tata Sierra ICE integrate a triple-screen layout, premium speaker systems, a soundbar, and personalisation functions.
