Tata Motors will continue the SUV onslaught with the launch of at least four new ICE and EV models this year In India. The domestic automotive market is about to witness an unprecedented wave of product launches from India’s foremost SUV specialist.
Tata Motors is prepared to maintain its dominance by rolling out at least four brand-new internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV) models over the next 8 to 9 months. By targeting both lifestyle purists and family buyers looking for premium, zero-emission mass-movers, this pipeline will effectively diversify the brand’s ecosystem. Here is your comprehensive guide to the four confirmed heavy-hitters heading to our roads.
1. Tata Sierra EV

The onslaught officially kicks off with the legendary Tata Sierra EV, which is locked in for an official debut date on June 30, 2026. Reviving one of the most culturally significant nameplates from the 1990s, the model becomes the seventh all-electric vehicle under Tata’s belt—following the Tiago, Tigor, Nexon, Punch, Curvv, and Harrier.
Positioned in the sweet spot between the Curvv EV and the Harrier EV, it maintains the distinct, boxy silhouette of its upcoming combustion brother while adding futuristic ‘.ev’ identity markers. The classic clamshell hood and signature rear alpine glass look have been kept fully intact. The luxury-focused interior is heavily rumored to feature an advanced triple-screen dashboard configuration coupled with premium materials, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and a Level 2 ADAS safety net.
It will leverage the heavy-duty 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery packs natively shared with the Harrier EV, promising a certified driving range shifting well beyond the 500 km mark. To own this slice of reborn heritage, buyers can look forward to an expected price bracket of ₹20 Lakh to ₹25 Lakh (ex-showroom).
2. Tata Sierra ICE AWD
For years, driving enthusiasts have complained about the lack of all-wheel-drive configurations within Tata’s traditional combustion fleet. In fact, Tata hasn’t sold an ICE 4×4 or AWD vehicle since the multi-utility Hexa was axed in 2020 due to stringent BS6 emission implementations. That structural dry spell officially breaks with the Tata Sierra ICE AWD, which has an expected launch window set for early 2027.
The Sierra ICE will be the pioneering model to debut on Tata’s brand-new All-Terrain Ready Omni-Energy and Geometry Scalable Architecture (ARGOS) platform. This advanced platform handles independent rear-axle power routing far better than old platforms. The mechanical All-Wheel Drive system will be exclusively coupled to Tata’s new 1.5-litre direct-injection turbocharged petrol engine.
It will punch out an impressive 158 hp and 255 Nm of torque while retaining standard power figures but offering significantly better mechanical grip over loose sand, mud, and mountain passes.
3. Tata Safari EV

If you want massive three-row utility without burning fossil fuels, Tata is preparing to introduce its ultimate electric statement piece: the Tata Safari EV. Taking its place at the apex of the manufacturer’s lineup as the brand’s first ever three-row 7-seater EV, it will target premium large-family buyers with an expected launch window around Diwali 2026 during the festive season.
The Safari EV is engineered directly on the acti.ev+ framework. It will boast subtle exterior design deviations from its standard sister, including aerodynamic alloy wheels and closed-off front grille plates. To easily pull a full load of 7 passengers up high elevations, the Safari EV will feature a high-end Quad-Wheel-Drive (QWD) dual-motor AWD system on top-end variants. Running on 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery packages, it will cross a claimed range of 500+ km on a full charge while supporting quick 100 kW+ DC charging setups.
The standard luxury tech will be bolstered by specialized software upgrades, including a 540-degree camera setup (with transparent chassis views), independent terrain modes, automated park assist, and over-the-air (OTA) system health updates. It will command an premium position with an expected price bracket of ₹22.50 Lakh to ₹30.00 Lakh (ex-showroom).
4. Tata Harrier EV
Working hand-in-hand with the Safari EV development cycle, the production-spec Tata Harrier EV will act as the sportier, 5-seater premium electric alternative, slated to arrive ahead of its larger sibling with an expected launch window around mid-2026. It shares the exact same acti.ev+ architecture and floor-mounted battery pack logic as the Safari EV but targets sharper driving dynamics due to its lighter weight and shorter wheelbase.
In terms of powertrains, the base variants will offer a standard single-motor configuration, while premium versions will gain access to the fast, dual-motor AWD layout pushing out instantaneous torque figures. It will effortlessly yield an MIDC-claimed driving range hovering north of 500 km, while maintaining the Harrier’s signature aggressive, wide-bodied road presence. Tata intends to position this variant aggressively within an expected price bracket of ₹21 Lakh to ₹28 Lakh (ex-showroom).
Motor Mitra Verdict
Tata Motors is executing a textbook multi-powertrain strategy. Instead of putting all its eggs in the pure electric basket, the introduction of a dedicated lifestyle platform like ARGOS for the Sierra ICE AWD ensures that old-school off-road purists are kept fully satisfied. Simultaneously, by introducing dual-motor AWD capabilities into the Sierra, Harrier, and Safari EVs.
Tata is proving that selecting zero-emission mobility no longer means giving up utility or performance. The next nine months are going to completely redefine the Indian SUV landscape. Which of these four are you waiting to test drive?
