Tata Motors has released a new promotional video showcasing the upcoming Tata Sierra EV conquering the iconic Tal Moreeb sand dune in Abu Dhabi, UAE, one of the world's most challenging off-road locations. The video not only highlights the electric SUV's off-road credentials but also reveals several key production-spec features ahead of its official launch on June 30.
The latest footage shows the Tata Sierra EV tackling steep sand dunes in the Liwa Desert, part of the Rub' al Khali (Empty Quarter), where temperatures can exceed 50°C and sand surface temperatures often cross 60°C. Through this extreme desert test, Tata Motors has demonstrated the SUV's capability to perform in some of the harshest driving conditions.
Tata Sierra EV gets Terrain Modes and Boost Mode
One of the biggest revelations from the video is the presence of Terrain Modes, similar to those offered on the Harrier EV. During the dune climb, the digital instrument cluster displays Sand Mode , indicating that the Sierra EV will offer multiple terrain-specific driving modes to optimize performance across different surfaces.
The video also confirms the availability of Boost Mode , which appears on the display before the SUV powers up the massive dune. This feature is expected to provide temporary access to maximum power and torque, helping drivers tackle steep inclines, deep sand, and overtaking situations with greater confidence.
Combined with the dual-motor Quad Wheel Drive (QWD) setup, these features could make the Sierra EV one of Tata Motors' most capable electric SUVs to date.
500 Nm torque and dual-motor AWD system
Tata Motors has also confirmed that the Sierra EV produces 500 Nm of torque , enabling it to tackle loose sand and demanding off-road conditions with ease. The intelligent all-wheel-drive system continuously distributes power between the front and rear axles, ensuring optimal traction on challenging terrain.
