Tata Motors has brought back an icon. The Sierra name is back after more than 20 years. It arrives with strong looks and modern tech. Prices start at an introductory Rs. 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom). There are seven variants and three engines. Bookings opened on 16 December and deliveries start from 15 January 2026. This is Tata’s big step into premium, retro-inspired SUVs. The seven variants are Smart+, Pure, Pure+, Adventure, Adventure+, Accomplished and Accomplished+. The Smart+ is the base variant, while the Accomplished+ is the top-spec variant.
Tata Sierra Design – A Reimagining Of A Classic
Tata played it smart. The Sierra’s silhouette is boxy and confident. It feels taller and wider than many rivals. That gives it a strong road presence. The Alpine-style flat glass roof is a neat throwback. The 19-inch alloys are the largest in the segment. Flush door handles with marker lights add a premium touch. Tata removed the spare on the boot to keep practicality and reduce weight. Overall, it respects the old Sierra while feeling fresh and modern.
Engine Lineup And Transmissions
Tata offers three 1.5-litre engines:
- 1.5-litre Turbo GDi Petrol — 158 bhp, 255 Nm. Paired only with a 6-speed AT. Sporty and quick.
- 1.5-litre Naturally Aspirated Petrol — 105 bhp, 145 Nm. Available with a 6-speed MT or a 7-speed DCT. Great for daily drives.
- 1.5-litre Diesel — 116 bhp, 260 Nm. Comes with 6-speed MT or 7-speed DCT. Ideal for long highway runs.
Tata will offer AWD on Sierra. It’s the first Tata model from the new family to get this. That adds capability for buyers who want off-road confidence.
Tata Sierra Interior: Premium And Thoughtful
Step inside and you’ll feel the change. Tata kept the layout clean. The cabin looks premium — closer to a car above its class. There are variant-based themes. Higher trims get a triple-screen layout. That includes a 10.25-inch driver display, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and a 12.3-inch co-driver screen. Yes — the co-driver can play or stream independently.

Space, Boot, And Practicality
The Sierra measures about 4.6 metres with a 2.7-metre wheelbase. Rear seats are roomy. Adults up to 6 feet tall sit comfortably. The five-seater layout offers good headroom — even for turbaned passengers. Boot space is generous:
- With 2nd Row Up: 622 litres
- 40% Split: 828 litres
- 60% Split: 1051 litres
- 2nd Row Folded: 1257 litres
You can fit 4–5 cabin trolleys easily. The wide loading area and neutral height help with everyday usability.
Safety And Driver Aids
Tata has fitted the Sierra with core safety gear as standard:
- 6 Airbags
- ABS with EBD
- Electronic Stability Control
- Hill Assist
- ISOFIX mounts
- Reverse parking sensors
- Higher trims add TPMS, front parking sensors, and Level 2 ADAS. Tata has clearly made safety a priority.
Exterior Features – What Stands Out
The Tata Sierra’s exterior is where nostalgia meets modern muscle. The SUV carries a bold, boxy silhouette that instantly reminds you of the original icon, but every line now feels sharper, cleaner, and far more premium. The signature Alpine-style flat glass roof gives it a distinct identity on the road, while the wide stance and tall body make it look bigger than rivals like the Creta and Seltos. The 19-inch alloy wheels — the largest in the segment — add serious road presence and make the Sierra look like a proper lifestyle SUV.
Up front, the new-age Tata grille is flanked by sleek full-LED headlamps and DRLs that stretch across the face, giving it a futuristic touch. Flush-fitting door handles with marker lights not only look stylish but also add convenience at night. Move to the rear and the clean tailgate, LED tail lamps, and spoiler complete a very mature look.
Tata has avoided the spare wheel on the boot to keep the design practical and elegant. With six vibrant color options and several subtle styling elements, the new Sierra stands out as a bold, modern, and unmistakably premium SUV that commands attention wherever it goes. The Sierra’s exterior list is long. Key items include:
- Boxy silhouette and strong shoulders
- Alpine flat glass roof
- 19-inch alloys
- Full LED lighting package
- Signature Tata grille (new take)
- Rear spoiler, keyless entry, push-button start
- Automatic headlamps and wipers
