Exterior

Front

The face of the new Sierra EV is upright, bold and confident-looking. The fascia includes a slim full-width LED DRL, spanning the entire width of the car. Below this, the body coloured trim houses the Tata logo proudly in the centre.

The lower half of the fascia includes a gloss black bumper, which neatly houses horizontally stacked LED projector headlamps on either side. Below them, you will find the vertical LED fog lamps. The lower half also includes air dams on either corner for better aerodynamics and a faux silver skid plate at the bottom of the bumper.

Side

Coming to the side profile, you will find the tall SUV sitting on dual-tone 19-inch alloy wheels, which you get from the Empowered A variant onwards. Apart from that, the side profile is largely similar to the other variants of the Sierra EV. 

The gloss black wheel arches, roof rails, shark fin antenna, flush fit door handles, cameras for the 360-degree camera function, and the body coloured B and D-pillars make the Sierra EV look premium.

Rear

Moving on to the rear profile of the Sierra EV, the quintessentially boxy proportions of the modern Sierra come into full view. The clamshell-shaped rear bootlid houses the wide LED tail lamps which include the indicators, the reverse and the fog lamps. In the centre of the bootlid, the Tata logo sits big and proud just above the ‘Sierra.ev’ branding. 

The top half houses the spoiler with a hidden wiper and the rear glass with a defogger. Meanwhile, the bottom half includes a gloss black bumper housing the parking sensors, reflectors, reverse camera and a faux silver skid plate.
