The iconic Tata Sierra is roaring back to life. Fresh spy shots have caught the production-ready SUV undergoing crucial emission tests, confirming its launch is right around the corner this November.
What’s New on This Sierra Spy Shot?
This isn't just another camouflaged car driving around. These new pictures give us our clearest look yet at the final design details that will make it to showrooms.
The most exciting reveal is the set of production-spec taillamps. They appear slimmer and more angular than the concept version we fell in love with. This is a clear sign that Tata is refining the design for the real world. The overall rear profile also looks chunkier and more sculpted, giving the Sierra a substantial, powerful stance on the road.
We also get a clear look at the modern flush-type door handles, which are expected to feature a small integrated light. And yes, that heavily wrapped rear quarter glass is almost certainly hiding the Sierra's legendary 'Alpine' windows, a classic design cue making a welcome return.
What Can You Expect Inside?
Tata is pulling out all the stops to make the Sierra a true flagship. The cabin is expected to be dominated by a massive, triple-screen setup that flows across the dashboard. This would include the infotainment screen, a digital driver's display, and a dedicated screen for the front passenger.
You can also expect a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, a premium JBL sound system, and dual-zone automatic climate control. For safety, it should be packed with multiple airbags, a 360-degree camera, and a Level-2 ADAS suite for assisted driving on highways.
What Will Power the New Sierra?
The Sierra will return with traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) options first. It is expected to use Tata's proven 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, good for a healthy 170 PS of power, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 118 PS.
Both engines will likely be offered with a choice of a 6-speed manual or a modern 7-speed DCT automatic transmission, promising a blend of performance and efficiency.
The Final Word: A Modern Legend Ready for Battle
The Tata Sierra is not just another SUV. It's a piece of Indian automotive history being reborn with cutting-edge tech and bold design. The expected starting price of the Tata Sierra is Rs. 10.50 lakh (ex-showroom). It's poised to shake up the compact SUV space and take on rivals like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara.
