Tata Motors is set to expand its electric vehicle lineup with the return of a classic model – the Tata Sierra SUV. The automaker is preparing to bring back the iconic vehicle with a modern twist, reimagining it for the electric age.
Tata's Electric Vehicle Portfolio Grows
Tata's electric vehicle portfolio has seen strong growth in recent years. The company's commitment to sustainable mobility is evident in its expanding range of electric vehicles. The Tata Sierra electric SUV will be the latest addition to this lineup.
The Tata Sierra Electric SUV
The Tata Sierra electric SUV is being developed in two forms: an all-electric version and an internal combustion engine (ICE) variant. The electric version is expected to be the brand's flagship EV, sitting above the Curvv EV and the Harrier EV in Tata's lineup.
Safety Updates in the Automotive Industry
Recent safety updates in the automotive industry include significant changes for the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. The vehicle has received a major safety upgrade, making six airbags (front, side, and curtain) standard across all variants from July 2025. This increases occupant protection significantly, especially in side collisions, and aligns with regulatory trends pushing for six airbags in all new passenger vehicles by October 2025.
The Volkswagen Taigun already comes well-equipped with six airbags as standard, alongside a comprehensive safety suite. Renault Triber, on the other hand, does not have recent documented safety feature upgrades.
