Tata Motors has announced plans to introduce 15 new nameplates across both ICE and EV categories. The Tata Sierra is the first iconic brand name to make a grand comeback last year, and it will be followed by the Avinya premium EV sub-brand.

Interestingly, the Sierra lineup will further be expanded with an electric iteration and an ICE-powered AWD version. While the Sierra EV is slated to arrive by August 2026, the AWD model is expected to launch in 2027. Furthermore, the carmaker is working on an all-new sub-4 metre SUV, codenamed – Tata Scarlet, which is currently referred to as ‘Mini Sierra’.

Tata Sierra EV – What to Expect?

Similar to the Tata Harrier EV, the Sierra EV will be offered with both RWD and AWD configuration options. While official details are still under the wraps, the electric SUV is expected to share powertrain with the Punch EV and Harrier EV. Design elements such as a closed-off grille, revised bumpers and new alloys will distinguish the Sierra EV from its ICE counterpart. Most of the features will remain same.

Tata Sierra AWD – What to Expect?

Tata officials have confirmed that the Sierra AWD version will arrive in early 2027. It will mark Tata’s first ICE 4X4 model since the Hexa was discontinued in 2020. However, details regarding the engine and gearbox combinations for the AWD variant are not available at the moment. The SUV will underpin the ARGOS (All-terrain Ready, Omni-Energy and Geometry Scalable Architecture) platform that supports multiple body styles, vehicle lengths and powertrains.

Tata Scarlet (Mini Sierra) – What to Expect?

The upcoming Scarlet will derive design elements from the Sierra SUV, featuring a slab-sided and upright stance. It could be based on a monocoque chassis and support both ICE and electric powertrains. Tata Motors might offer multiple engine options including the Nexon’s 120bhp, 1.2L turbo petrol, the Currv’s 125bhp, 1.2L turbo petrol and the new 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol.
