Tata Motors has dropped another teaser of the upcoming Sierra EV, and this one reveals an important detail. The latest preview confirms that the electric SUV will be offered with an all-wheel-drive setup. With the official debut scheduled for June 30, the Sierra EV is shaping up to be one of Tata’s most interesting electric launches this year.
The new teaser not only gives a better look at the SUV but also confirms the presence of the QWD badge. The same badge is used on the Harrier EV and indicates a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration.
AWD Confirmed For Sierra EV
One of the biggest updates from the teaser is the confirmation of the dual-motor setup.
Key details include:
- QWD badge seen on the rear quarter section
- Dual-motor all-wheel-drive system confirmed
- Expected to share technology with the Harrier EV
- AWD version could be offered with the larger battery pack
Tata has already introduced this technology on the Harrier EV. The Sierra EV is likely to become the second Tata electric SUV to get this drivetrain.
Familiar Design With EV-Specific Changes
The Sierra EV will retain the shape and proportions of the recently revealed Sierra ICE model. At the same time, a few unique elements will help distinguish the electric version.
Some design highlights include:

- Flush-fitting door handles
- Blacked-out pillars

The teaser also shows that the overall silhouette remains upright and boxy, staying true to the Sierra nameplate.
