Tata Motors has been making waves with its upcoming SUV, the Tata Sierra, which was recently spotted testing on Indian roads. This highly anticipated vehicle made its debut at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo, where it showcased a near-production version. The Sierra is expected to launch in India by the end of 2025, with the EV version preceding the ICE model.

The Tata Sierra’s design is a blend of retro charm and modern styling. Key features include:
- Front Fascia: A high-mounted bonnet with a split headlamp design, LED DRLs, and a chunky silver skid plate.
- Profile: A boxy silhouette with squared wheel arches, flush-fitting door handles, and a flat roofline.
- Rear End: Upright design with a flat tailgate, connected LED taillights, and a rear wiper.
Interior and Features
While specific interior details are yet to be revealed, the concept showcased at the Expo featured a triple-screen setup, including a 10.25-inch instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Expected features include:
- Comfort and Convenience: Panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, ventilated and powered front seats, and a premium sound system.
- Safety: Six airbags, a 360-degree camera, electronic stability control (ESC), and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).
Powertrain
The Sierra is expected to be offered in both petrol and diesel variants. The petrol version will feature a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine producing around 170 PS and 280 Nm of peak torque, while the diesel version will use a 2.0-litre engine generating 170 PS and 350 Nm. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) for the petrol version, and a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission for the diesel version.
Launch and Pricing
The Tata Sierra is expected to launch in India by the end of 2025. The EV version will likely precede the ICE model, with the ICE version expected to be priced around Rs 10.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The Sierra will compete with other popular SUVs in the segment, such as the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara, MG Astor, and Honda Elevate.
