Few names in India’s automotive history spark as much nostalgia as the Tata Sierra. The original Sierra, launched in the 1990s, was a bold, futuristic SUV ahead of its time. Decades later, Tata Motors is set to bring it back by the end of 2025, reimagined for the modern era but still carrying the same spirit that made it iconic.
Just like the Tata Curvv, the new Sierra will arrive first with ICE (petrol and diesel) powertrains and later in a fully electric version. This dual strategy aims to capture both traditional SUV lovers and EV enthusiasts under one legendary nameplate.
The comeback of the Sierra isn’t just another launch — it’s a symbol of Tata’s evolution from nostalgia to next-generation innovation.
Design: Retro Soul, Modern Body
The 2025 Tata Sierra is one of the most striking SUV designs in the company’s lineup yet. Tata has perfectly blended retro-inspired details from the classic model with a contemporary, futuristic design language.
Front Profile
The SUV’s bold front fascia features:
- A closed or mesh-style grille depending on variant
- Rectangular split LED headlamps
- Gloss black accents and aggressive bumpers
- A silver skid plate that enhances its SUV identity
The design feels powerful yet clean — unmistakably modern while paying tribute to the original Sierra’s rugged character.
Side Profile
From the side, the Sierra’s identity truly shines. Its boxy silhouette harks back to the 1990s original, instantly recognizable for enthusiasts who remember its timeless shape.
Highlights include:
- Flush-type door handles for a premium feel
- Large dual-tone alloy wheels with a multi-spoke design
- Gloss black cladding around the arches for a muscular stance
- And, of course, Tata’s signature reinterpretation of the rear glass panel — the iconic “Sierra window,” now split subtly into two sections due to the five-door configuration.
Rear Profile
At the rear, you’ll find connected LED tail lamps, a sleek roof spoiler, and clean surfaces that give it a futuristic, uncluttered appeal.
The Sierra EV will likely include EV-specific visual tweaks such as aero wheels, blue highlights, and revised bumpers to distinguish it from the ICE variants.
Inside, the Tata Sierra feels like a major step up for Tata Motors. The brand’s recent interiors have already set benchmarks with the Harrier, Safari, and Curvv — but the Sierra goes further.
The cabin combines minimalism, technology, and sophistication, wrapped in high-quality materials.
Highlight Features
- Connected triple-screen layout: A unique setup that includes
- Digital driver display
- Central infotainment touchscreen
- Co-passenger entertainment screen
- Digital driver display
- Four-spoke steering wheel with illuminated Tata logo
- Ambient lighting across the dashboard and doors
- Panoramic sunroof
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Wireless charger and ventilated seats
- Premium JBL audio system
- Powered driver seat with memory function
The Sierra’s EV version may also feature a slightly reworked center console, emphasizing EV driving modes and storage optimization.
Technology & Connectivity
In keeping with Tata’s new-age digital push, the Sierra will debut Tata’s most advanced connected car system yet, offering:
- Over-the-air software updates (OTA)
- Real-time navigation and remote monitoring
- AI voice assistant
- Smartphone app integration for climate, lock/unlock, and charging control (for EV)
Tata’s focus is clear — make the Sierra not just premium, but intelligent.
Safety: Top-Class Protection
Safety is one of Tata’s strongest suits, and the Sierra is expected to uphold that tradition proudly. Built on the Omega-Arc architecture (or Sigma for EV), it is designed to achieve 5-star crash test ratings under the Bharat NCAP protocol.
Expected Safety Equipment
- 6 to 7 airbags (front, side, curtain)
- Level-2 ADAS features (adaptive cruise control, lane assist, emergency braking)
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
- Hill Descent & Hill Hold Control
- 360-degree camera with blind view monitor
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The Sierra EV variant may also come with additional driver aids tailored to electric vehicles, such as regen control and adaptive range estimation.
Powertrain Options: ICE & EV Versions
Tata is planning to make the Sierra lineup as versatile as possible, appealing to both conventional buyers and early EV adopters.
1. Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Variants
The Tata Sierra ICE is expected to get two engine options:
| Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission |
| 1.5L Turbo Petrol (T-GDI) | 170 PS | 280 Nm | 6-speed MT / 7-speed DCT |
| 1.5L Diesel | 118 PS | 260 Nm | 6-speed MT |
This setup gives potential buyers a good balance — performance with the turbo-petrol and long-range highway capability with the diesel.
2. Electric Version (Tata Sierra EV)
The Tata Sierra EV will be powered by Tata’s Gen 2 EV architecture, featuring multiple battery options.
Expected highlights:
- Range: Up to 500 km (certified)
- Fast charging: 10% to 80% in under 40 minutes
- Tech features:
- V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) – use the car’s battery to power appliances
- V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) – charge another EV from your Sierra
- Regenerative braking with multiple levels
- V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) – use the car’s battery to power appliances
The EV version will likely arrive 6–9 months after the ICE variant, following Tata’s phased rollout strategy similar to the Curvv.
Expected Prices & Launch Timeline
Tata Motors is expected to launch the Sierra ICE variant by late 2025, with the EV version following in early 2026.
| Variant | Estimated Starting Price (Ex-showroom) |
| Tata Sierra (Petrol/Diesel) | ₹10.50 lakh onwards |
| Tata Sierra EV | ₹25 lakh onwards |
The Sierra will position itself above the Tata Curvv and below the Safari in Tata’s SUV hierarchy, targeting both urban lifestyle buyers and adventure-driven families.
Market Significance: A Strategic Move by Tata
The Sierra’s comeback is more than a product relaunch — it’s a brand statement. It represents:
- Tata’s confidence in combining nostalgia with new-age design.
- India’s growing demand for premium homegrown SUVs.
- A bridge between ICE and EV segments, giving customers choice and flexibility.
The Sierra’s design philosophy reflects Tata’s shift towards global standards of styling, safety, and sustainability. If priced right, it could redefine what Indian buyers expect from a mid-size SUV.
