Tata has announced introductory pricing for the Sierra starting at ₹11.49 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it slightly above the entry points of most rivals. The Hyundai Creta begins at ₹10.73 lakh, while the Kia Seltos opens at ₹10.79 lakh. The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara starts from ₹10.76 lakh, and the Volkswagen Taigun is currently at ₹10.58 lakh (limited-period price), against a standard ₹11.39 lakh. All aforementioned prices are the ex-showroom rates.
With a higher entry price, the Sierra is positioning itself as a more feature-rich, premium-leaning alternative in the segment.
Tata Motors has highlighted several tech-forward features coming to the new Tata Sierra, positioning it with equipment typically seen in higher segments. The SUV will offer Horizon View triple-screen display setup, a SonicShaft soundbar, and what the company claims is the largest panoramic sunroof in its class. Also showcased are features including MeSpace and Relax modes, 5G connectivity, and IP-based telematics commands.
The Sierra 2025 will additionally debut what Tata claims to be India’s slimmest LED headlamps, featuring 17 mm bi-LED units integrated into the front lighting signature.
The Tata Sierra has finally been launched in India, with prices starting from ₹11.49 lakh (ex-showroom). This is the introductory offer, which will remain available for a limited period. The SUV will be available for bookings starting December 16 of this year, with deliveries to commence on January 15, 2026.
Tata claims the 1.5 NA petrol engine will have higher ethanol blend compatibility. This engine also promises lower NVH levels. Here are the power figures and gearbox options of each unit:
1.5-litre TGDi Hyperion turbo-petrol: 160 PS @ 5,000 rpm | 255 Nm @ 1,750-4,000 rpm | 6AT
1.5-litre naturally aspirated Revotron petrol: 106 PS @ 6,000 rpm | 145 Nm @ 2,100 rpm | 6MT, 7DCA
1.5-litre Kryojet turbo-diesel: 118 PS @ 4,000 rpm | 260 Nm (MT) / 280 Nm (AT) @| 1,500-2,750 rpm | 6MT, 6AT
The Tata Sierra 2025 is built around the next-gen t.idal 2.0 electrical architecture. Claimed to be the first Ethernet-based system in an ICE vehicle in India, it enables data transfer speeds of up to 1 Gbps. The platform introduces 5G connectivity, also a first for an ICE model in the country, supporting faster vehicle-to-cloud communication and OTA updates.
The setup uses centralised computing with integrated domain controllers and an advanced CAN-FD network for lower-latency ECU communication. Tata also highlights end-to-end cybersecurity readiness and cloud-backup hybrid storage for software reliability and lifecycle updates.
The new Sierra is underpinned by the new ARGOS architecture. ARGOS stands for All-Terrain Ready, Omni-Energy and Geometry Scalable. What this essentially means is that this is a scalable platform that can be used in both ICE-powered models and battery electric vehicles. It features all-wheel drive compatibility and is designed for off-road performance and durability.
The Tata Sierra promises enhanced safety with more than 20 features as part of its Level-2 ADAS package. It comes standard with 6 airbags and seatbelt anchor pre-tensioners. It further features ISOFIX tethers for child safety and 3-point ELR seatbelts for all passengers. Tata Motors claims that the body structure is designed to have similar crash performance in frontal and side impacts.
Tata Sierra comes with the best water wading capacity in its segment. Here’s what it boasts:
Approach angle – 26.5 degrees
Ramp over angle – 23.1 degrees
Departurer angle – 31.6 degrees
Ground clearance – 205 mm
Turning circle diameter – 10.6 m
Tata crashed two Sierras to test its safety credentials. This was done in order to replicate real-world crash scenarios and is a first for any Indian automaker. The results speak for themselves:
The passenger cell remained intact while the doors were able to open post impact. The fuel system remained sealed, preventing post-crash fires. The belts were secured and were able to release to let the occupants out, while the overall structural integrity remained intact.
Shailesh Chandra has confirmed that the new Sierra will launch with three powertrain options. This includes a 1.5-litre Kryojet diesel mill as well as two new petrol powertrains: a 1.5-litre TGDi Hyperion and a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre Revotron unit.
Speaking at the launch, Shailesh Chandra, MD & CEO of Tata Motors, said that the Tata Sierra has become a cultural symbol. Now it has been recreated to meet modern-day requirements. It comes with a bold individuality, and is meaningful, iconic and premium.
“Sierra represents aspiration fulfilled. It has a design that stands out. It resonates across generations.”
We are at the Jio Convention Centre, Mumbai, bringing you the latest and live updates from the launch of Tata Sierra, the comeback of an iconic Indian SUV in a modern guise.
The Tata Sierra has been showcased in six monotone colour options so far, including: Andaman Adventure, Bengal Rouge, Coorg Clouds, Mintal Grey, Munnar Mist, and Pristine White.
Andaman Adventure and Bengal Rouge are by far the most eye-catching of the lot and have already showed up in the SUV’s teasers. The Sierra Munnar Mist stands out with its chameleon-like finish that transitions between green and grey depending on how the light falls on the bodywork. For those seeking a more conventional look, Coorg Clouds (a silver/light-grey shade), Mintal Grey (a darker grey), and Pristine White are available as understated options.
Tata Motors is hosting the Sierra launch event at the Jio Convention Centre in Mumbai, India. The launch of the new SUV is expected to start shortly post noon, so stay tuned to Hindustan Times as we bring you all the live updates in real time.
The original Sierra was most recognisable from the side with its three-door layout and a curved, fixed glass section at the rear in place of conventional windows.
The new Sierra will retain the familiar silhouette with a much sleeker final result. It puts on five doors for practicality’s sake and loses the fixed glass pane, which it replaces with a wraparound design that gives the impression of a single-piece structure.
The Tata Sierra nameplate returns in 2025 with a completely reimagined modern SUV design while retaining its iconic silhouette. The old Sierra brought a rugged, muscular design with square headlamps flanking a wide grille with horizontal slats.
The new Sierra directly reflects how design standards have evolved over the last 20-odd years. It retains characteristic features such as a flat bonnet with an upright front end, but does away with simplicity for a much bolder look.
The upcoming Tata Sierra will be positioned within the compact SUV segment to take on the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, VW Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Toyota Hyryder, among others.
The Tata Sierra’s price is expected to fall within the range of ₹17-22 lakh (ex-showroom) for the ICE-powered models, while the EV variants will be priced slightly higher between ₹20-25 lakh (ex-showroom). This will place it between the Curvv and the Harrier in Tata’s own lineup.
On the safety front, the Tata Sierra is expected to launch with six airbags, ABS with ESC, traction control, electronic parking brake with auto hold, and hill hold assist.
The Sierra EV is additionally expected to come with a Level 2 ADAS suite, bringing lane driving aids, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and a 360-degree camera system. The Sierra, like all Tata SUVs, will aim for a 5-star safety rating.
The new Sierra will launch with premium, tech-rich interiors featuring a massive triple screen setup with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 4-spoke steering wheel with the illuminated Tata logo, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof. The Tata Sierra will likely get a dual-screen setup in the base model.
The electric Sierra will be underpinned by Tata’s Acti.EV platform, a dedicated EV architecture that can support varying battery sizes and configurations. While the exact specifications are not out yet, the Sierra EV is likely to offer two battery pack options and an estimated single-charge range between 450-550 km.
However, the largest battery pack in Tata SUVs currently is the 75 kWh unit in the Harrrier EV, which allows for 622 km (ARAI) on a single charge. Range-topping variants of the Sierra EV are expected to come with dual-motor setups, allowing for all-wheel drive.
The new Sierra is expected to offer a 1.5-litre TGDi turbo-petrol engine as well as a 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel mill, both to be made available with manual and automatic gearbox options. The Sierra SUV could also pack the 1.5-litre diesel unit, which makes 118 bhp in the Curvv SUV.
Tata Motors has officially unveiled the new Sierra, marking the rebirth of the iconic nameplate two decades after the original was discontinued. The SUV now brings a modern design blending neo-retro style cues with the latest technology and multiple powertrain options. To be sold in both ICE-powered and EV versions, the Sierra will be positioned among the range-topping models in Tata’s lineup.
The original Tata Sierra was popular because it felt like a genuinely aspirational, ahead‑of‑its‑time SUV in early‑1990s India.
Tata Motors first launched the Sierra back in 1991 and it was discontinued in 2003. The name of the old and the new SUV might be the same but they are drastically different. The new Sierra only carries forward the design and some of the design bits.
