Unlike the concept that has three-door setup, the showcased model comes with a proper five door body built and the four doors. It has been assembled with the dual-tone wheels that appear production ready. The blacked-out C and D pillars along with the large glasshouse area further enhance its sporty appeal.
Inside, the Tata Sierra features a lounge-like seating area with a rear bench and a front passenger seat with swivel function. Similar to the concept, the near production version of the SUV is likely to measure 4150mm in length, 1820mm in width and 1675mm in height with a wheelbase of 2450mm.
The Tata Sierra SUV, which was showcased as an EV, will also be offered with the turbocharged petrol engine when launched in the market. Since its based on the Alfa architecture, the model might use the Altroz’s 1.2L turbo petrol engine. Though, the motor could be tuned for generating extra power.
