It’s been almost 25 years since we first saw the original Tata Sierra. And now, the reborn Sierra that you can actually buy is finally here. We first saw it as a concept at Auto Expo 2020, then again in 2023, and earlier this year we saw the near-production version. But this right here is the real production model that will soon be on the road.
The Sierra is a very special name for Tata Motors because it was one of their first true SUVs. This new one is important too, because it will compete directly with popular SUVs like the Hyundai Creta.
Exterior Walkaround
Let’s start with the front.
The production Sierra looks almost the same as the version we saw earlier this year. There’s a full-width gloss black panel with a 3D Sierra lettering that looks premium. The bumper has a large air intake and a silver lower lip. The upper part of the grille is closed off while the lower part is open—this design helps Tata keep the EV and petrol versions looking similar.
From the side, especially in white, it reminds you of the original Sierra. The old Sierra was a 3-door SUV, but this new one is a 5-door model. Even then, Tata has cleverly designed it so that it still gives a similar vibe. The B-pillar is made thicker, just like the old Sierra, and a long blacked-out window section runs from the B-pillar to the rear. This recreates that classic big glass look.
The wheels on this model are 19-inch alloys, wrapped in MRF tires. Tata hasn’t shared the final specs yet, so we don’t know if 19-inch is the largest size available.
At the rear, it continues to look bold and square. You get a full-width LED tail light, a gloss black rear bumper, and Sierra badging across the tailgate. Even though this is a 5-door compact SUV, Tata has tried to keep the classic Sierra feel alive. What do you think about the design? Tell me in the comments.
Interior Review
Inside the new Sierra, this is our first proper look at the cabin. The highlight is the panoramic display setup, which includes three screens:
-
a central touchscreen
-
a digital driver display
-
and a separate passenger screen
Unfortunately, we couldn’t power them on as Tata hasn’t given the keys yet.
The dashboard feels more premium than the one in the Tata Curvv. It has soft-touch materials and a nice layered design. The air vents are split into outer and center vents, though the center ones don’t feel very high quality.
Below that, you get the touch-based climate controls seen on other Tata models—I personally prefer physical buttons, but Tata is sticking with touch controls.
The gear lever is the same as the one used in the Harrier and Safari. The seats are finished in ivory white and feel premium. The driver seat is powered and ventilated, while this particular model has a ventilated—but not powered—passenger seat.
There’s fabric and a silver insert on the dashboard that looks stylish. You’ll also notice some hard plastics on the lower dashboard and door pads, but the armrests and switches feel well-built.
You get a start–stop button on the dashboard, a terrain mode selector, auto hold, and paddle shifters. I wish Tata had given a new, unique steering wheel, because this one is used in many other Tata cars.
There are two USB-C ports, a small storage space, and an Easter egg with GPS coordinates. The central armrest has adjustable storage as well.
Rear Seat Experience
At the back, the thick B-pillar means the rear window is a bit smaller, which might feel slightly tight for some people. But the cabin materials at the back are nice, with soft-touch armrests and storage space for bottles.
To make the cabin feel more airy, Tata has given a large panoramic sunroof—though it may also let in a lot of heat during summers. You get an armrest with cup holders, rear AC vents, USB-C ports, and sunshades.
I’m 5'6", and I fit comfortably here. Taller passengers might want more legroom, but remember, this is smaller than the Harrier. The floor is almost flat, so even the middle passenger gets decent foot space.
Boot Space
The boot is spacious, with bag hooks and a 12V socket. The spare wheel is mounted under the car. You also get a 60/40 split for the rear seats and a powered tailgate.
Expected Engines
Tata is expected to offer the new 1.5L turbocharged Hyperion TGDI petrol engine, producing around 170 bhp and over 250 Nm of torque. A naturally aspirated version may also come. We also expect a diesel option, along with both manual and automatic gearboxes.
The final specs will be revealed on November 25
