Tata Sierra EV: Design and Features
Design-wise, the Sierra EV looks identical to its ICE counterpart, save for some minor tweaks such as a blanked off body colour grille, redesigned bumpers at both ends with rugged-looking faux skid plates, and aerodynamic alloy wheels.
Being an EV, the Sierra also offers a frunk (storage space underneath the bonnet), which is 55 litres in the RWD variant and 35 litres in the AWD variant, while its boot capacity is rated at 622 litres.
Similar to the exterior, things are more or less similar to the regular ICE model, which, in our opinion, is not a bad thing.
