Driving the Tata Sierra Gave This Weekend a New Meaning

A slow drive, open roads, and a reminder that weekends are meant to be felt—not rushed.

Tata Sierra

Tata’s oldest nameplate, the Sierra, is set to make a comeback in a new avatar. The vehicle was unveiled as a concept model at the Auto Expo 2025. The company will offer both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric versions of the vehicle, with the ICE version being launched first.

The Tata Sierra is expected to feature features like a triple-screen layout, connected LED lighting, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, Level-2 ADAS, and multiple airbags. It is expected to be powered by Tata’s new 1.5-liter TGDI turbo petrol and 1.5-liter diesel engines, with a choice of manual and automatic gearboxes.

Tata Sierra: Initial Unveiling and Expected Launch Timeline

Showcased at three mobility expos, the Tata Sierra will be unveiled on November 25. It not only retains the original car’s square lines and glass roof, but also aligns with the latest Tata design language, bringing the best of both worlds. Spy images of the cabin show a curved, Safari- and Harrier-like interior, but this time with a tri-cluster setup.

This electric car will have the same powertrain options as the Curve, i.e. the same 45kWh and 55kWh battery packs, and will also be front-wheel drive only. In the ICE range, we can expect Tata’s 1.5-litre GDi turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines, both available with automatic and manual transmission options.

Tata’s strategy has always been to play a multi-model game in every segment, and it will maintain its hold in this part of the market with the Curve and Sierra. Its biggest targets are the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Kia Carens Clavis, of which the Clavis will now compete directly with the upcoming Sierra.

Safety

Tata has built a strong reputation for safety over the years, and the Sierra is expected to build on this legacy. While final safety details will be confirmed closer to launch, we can expect a robust list of both passive and active features. The basic features could include seven airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), and hill hold assist.

This could include features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot detection, and autonomous emergency braking. Top-spec variants could also feature front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), providing added convenience and confidence.

Given Tata’s focus on a robust body structure and its track record of scoring well in crash tests, the Sierra is expected to receive a good rating in the India NCAP crash tests.
