The concept reveals the design this SUV will wear – slim light bars, large glasshouse area, and big wheels. The Sierra EV is also a 4-door SUV instead of the 2-door version from decades ago.

Tata Harrier EV

While the Sierra EV isn’t coming anytime soon, Tata Motors showcased an EV version of the Harrier. With a new design having a new front and rear fascia, the Harrier EV with its dual motor setup offers an AWD drivetrain, ADAS features and an improved interior promises to offer a range of 500 Kms.
