Tata Sierra : Tata Motors has reignited nostalgia with the all-new Sierra, launched late last year and now flooding showrooms after racking up over 70,000 bookings on day one.

This reborn classic blends retro charm with modern muscle, slotting between the Curvv and Harrier in Tata’s lineup as a midsize SUV that’s turning heads and emptying order books.

Deliveries kicked off in mid-January 2026, with diesel variants stealing the show at 55% of sales, proving buyers crave that torque for city crawls and highway hauls.

Massive Booking Frenzy

From the moment order books opened in December 2025, the Sierra shattered expectations with 70,000 commitments, a testament to its cult following since the original’s 1991 debut.

Fans queued up for everything from base Smart+ petrols to loaded Accomplished Plus diesels, pushing Tata to ramp up production fast.

Diesel took the lion’s share, but turbo-petrols drew enthusiasts eyeing peppy performance without emissions worries.

This frenzy signals Tata’s grip on the SUV craze, targeting 20-25% market share amid rivals like Creta and Seltos.

Striking Design Revival

The new Sierra nods to its boxy ancestor with a high bonnet, squarish arches, thick B-pillar, and that signature window kink, but swaps curved glass for a sleek blacked-out C-pillar effect.

Up front, split LED headlights with a full-width bar scream premium, while 19-inch dual-tone alloys and flush handles add flair.

Around back, LED tails mirror the front, and a powered tailgate swings open to reveal ample boot space.

Colors like Andaman Adventure orange and Munnar Mist grey let owners personalize their ride, blending rugged vibes with urban polish.

Ground clearance at 205mm handles potholes like a champ, making it a true all-rounder for India’s chaotic roads.

Powertrain Lineup Delivers

Three 1.5-liter engines headline: a naturally aspirated petrol (105hp), punchy turbo-petrol (158hp), and torquey diesel (116hp/280Nm).

Manuals pair with basics, while autos—DCT for petrol, TC for diesel—suit lazy drivers.

Real-world mileage? Diesel autos hit 11-14kmpl in mixed conditions, petrols around 16-18kmpl per ARAI. The turbo-petrol shines for overtakes, diesel for hauling loads, all backed by smooth shifts.

No AWD yet—that’s eyed for 2027—but FWD suffices for most, with drive modes tweaking responses.

Cabin Loaded with Tech

Step inside to a segment-first triple-screen setup: 10.25-inch instruments flanked by twin infotainment panels, all intuitive with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay.

A 12-speaker JBL system with soundbar thumps bass, panoramic sunroof floods light, and ventilated/power seats pamper on long drives.

Boss mode reclines the front passenger seat, rear AC vents chill backs, and AR HUD projects speeds ahead.

Level 2 ADAS brings adaptive cruise, lane keep, and auto braking, plus six airbags standard.

Boot swallows 500+ liters, thigh extensions boost comfort—it’s family-ready without skimping style.

Safety and Ride Quality

Six airbags, 360-cam, ESC, hill hold, and disc brakes all around form a solid shield, though crash test scores pending.

The ride soaks bumps superbly, handling sharp despite size, with minimal body roll.

Tyre noise creeps in at speed, diesel clatters under load, but overall refinement impresses for the price. Autocar named it 2026 Car of the Year, praising balance.

Pricing Hits Sweet Spot

Intro prices start at ₹11.49 lakh for Smart+ petrol MT, climbing to ₹21.29 lakh for Accomplished Plus diesel AT—on-road around ₹13-25 lakh.

Pure Plus at ₹14.49 lakh packs value with basics plus.

Stack up against Creta or Seltos? Sierra undercuts on features like triple screens, wins desirability. Diesel autos around ₹18 lakh offer torque kings for highways.

EV Variant Buzz Builds

Whispers of Sierra EV tease a February/March 2026 reveal, sales in Q2 on Acti.ev platform with 55/65kWh packs for 450-500km range.

FWD base, dual-motor AWD topper, closed grille, V2L charging incoming.

Rivals BE.6 or Creta Electric? Tata’s homegrown edge and pricing (₹15-24 lakh est.) could dominate. Fast charging and ADAS seal the deal for green shifts.
