There is a big difference in texture
Let us tell you that the biggest technical difference between Tata Sierra EV and its petrol-diesel models is the platform on which they are built. The company has built Tata Sierra EV on its brand new and advanced generation-2 acti.ev model. Which has been specially designed keeping in mind the needs of electric vehicles only.

The real game of power, performance
If you like adventuring with your car or driving in the mountains, then Sierra Electric will come out ahead here. Because the top-end variant of Sierra EV comes with dual motor and all-wheel drive setup. Which produces amazing torque of 504Nm and gives amazing grip even on bad roads.
On the other hand, if we talk about its petrol and diesel models, their models come with front-wheel drive. In which the power of the engine goes only to the front wheels. But the 1.5-litre turbo engine of petrol and diesel engine are very smooth and refined for city and highway but they are not able to provide raw power like EV.
Looks and design minor changes
After the launch of Electric Sierra, if we look at the look of both the vehicles, they look equally muscular and futuristic. But if you look carefully, you can understand the difference. At the front of Sierra EV, you get a closed grille and a sleek connected LED light bar which gives it a very modern look.
Whereas in petrol-diesel models, a traditional air vent and grill has been provided at the front to keep the engine cool. Apart from this, the design of alloy wheels of both the models is completely different and on the EV variant you also get to see special EV badging at various places.
Hi-tech facilities available inside the cabin
Let us tell you that as soon as you step inside the Tata Sierra car, you will see a big difference in features. The Sierra EV features a triple-screen layout, V2L technology that lets you control home appliances from the car, and an advanced 540-degree camera. Apart from this, it also has a trunk for front storage.
The interior of the petrol-diesel model is also quite premium in which all the luxury items like panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats are present. But some very advanced tech features of EV are missing in it. But in terms of covering long distances without the tension of charging, petrol and diesel are still ahead of electric vehicles in terms of sales.
