If you want the best balance of range, performance and value, pick a 75 kWh RWD Sierra EV variant; if you prioritise the lowest price with still-strong range choose a 63/65 kWh base RWD variant; if you need maximum traction and performance for rough roads or towing, choose the AWD 75 kWh top variant.
Variants and overview
-
Entry / Pure (63–65 kWh) The most affordable Sierra EV offering, with a single-motor rear-wheel-drive layout, ideal for city-first buyers who still want long range. It pairs a smaller battery (around 63–65 kWh) with about 235 bhp (approximately) and claimed range in the mid-500 km ballpark on the most optimistic cycle. Charging times are roughly 8.9–10.5 hours on AC for a full charge depending on battery size.
-
Mid / Adventure (63–75 kWh) Positioned for buyers who want extra features (adventure styling, slightly higher equipment levels) and the option to step up to the larger battery. Power in the RWD 63 kWh versions is around 235 bhp; a 75 kWh RWD upgrade increases claimed range to the 600+ km estimate and may slightly alter power figures depending on tuning.
-
Empowered / Tech (63–75 kWh) Feature-rich trims offering more comfort and tech: larger infotainment, advanced driver aids, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, 360° camera and premium audio. These trims can be paired with either battery option and are aimed at buyers who want an EV that feels premium inside while retaining strong range.
-
Top / AWD 75 kWh Dual-motor all‑wheel‑drive variant with the largest battery (75 kWh) and the highest power output (reported up to ~313 bhp in AWD tune and torque figures up to ~504 Nm in some reports), delivering the best performance, quicker acceleration and superior traction for off‑pavement use. This is the pick for enthusiasts, frequent highway drivers who value brisk performance, or those planning regular hill/rough-terrain driving.
-
Additional named trims and price points Market listings and dealer pages show multiple named trims (Pure, Pure S, Adventure, Empowered and higher), with manufacturer and dealer pricing clustering from roughly ₹18.8–26.5 lakh ex-showroom depending on battery, drive layout and equipment.
