Tata Sierra SUV at Auto Expo 2023: what’s different?
While the overall design of the Sierra EV SUV concept shown today heavily resembles the Sierra EV that was shown earlier, a close look reveals quite a few key differences. First up, the Sierra SUV concept at Auto Expo 2023 has a proper five-door body shell with four conventionally opening doors like a standard SUV, along with a tailgate as opposed to a single suicide rear door on the EV, which essentially had an unconventional four-door body.

Moreover, the dual-tone wheel and tyre package on the SUV looks more production-spec than the one shown in the concept.
Upfront, the bonnet is much more upright and flatter, and there is a new faux grille and a chunky bumper. The headlamps are connected with a chrome strip. Tata Motors has maintained the original Sierra’s identity by having blacked out C and D pillars, which makes the car look like it has a large glasshouse.
Apart from the five-door Sierra EV, the brand also has the updated Curvv concept on display at the event.
