Tata Sierra EV
You must be aware of the old times when Tata Sierra used to be the queen of the roads. Now that nostalgia is coming back in a completely new and modern style. Imagine, an SUV that combines your childhood memories with 22nd century technology. This is the new Tata Sierra EV.
However, it will start with a pure electric version, which is expected to be launched by October or November 2025. Also, there is good news for petrol-diesel lovers, its ICE version can come in the market by January 2026. In terms of its battery, Tata has given it the same powerful battery options as Harrier EV. Meaning you can get two options of 65kWh and 75kWh, which will take away all the tension of range. At the same time, for those who want thrill, it can also have QWD or AWD drivetrain system.
Design and Features
If you saw the concept at the Auto Expo, you would have understood how amazing this vehicle is. However, the good news is that the production vehicle is going to look almost the same! Spy shots show that the interior will be just like a sci-fi movie. Imagine a floating triple screen setup, where you will have a wealth of information in front of you. On top of that, there will be a panoramic sunroof which will make the cabin feel open and airy.
For safety, it will also get Level-2 ADAS technology, which will make your driving even safer. But remember, all these features will be available only in the top-end variants. Apart from the 5-seater, Tata can also launch it in a 4-seater ‘lounge’ layout, where you will feel like a first-class car.
Price
Let us tell you that this is a premium flagship SUV of Tata, which has a store of high-tech features. Therefore, it is clear that its price will also be in the premium segment. Experts believe that the starting price of Tata Sierra EV can start from ₹ 25 lakh. If you take the top variant, which will have AWD, bigger battery, and all the advanced features, then its price can reach above ₹ 30 lakh.
Tata Punch Facelift
Now let’s talk about that small but powerful SUV, which has won everyone’s heart with its practicality. Its new version is also going to come. There is no hurry in this, but it is being upgraded slowly and wisely. If you look from the outside, its newly designed alloy wheels, slightly updated bumpers and grille will give you a new feel.
It will get a new two-spoke steering wheel, just like the new Altroz, which will give a fresh look to the cabin. The steering buttons will also be new and modern. And for technology lovers, it can also get a larger 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a redesigned climate control panel. Overall, the Punch is going to give a slightly more premium feel while maintaining its simplicity.
Engine
However, there is no game change in terms of performance, which is a good thing. Because the engine is already very successful. It will have the same 1.2L petrol engine that produces 87.8PS of power and 115Nm of torque. You can get it with either a manual gearbox or an automatic (AMT).
