The new SUV comes with three engine options: a 1.5-litre turbo petrol, a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel.

The more powerful 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine produces 160hp and 255Nm, paired with an Aisin 6-speed automatic gearbox. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol delivers 106bhp and 145Nm, and is offered with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCA.
The diesel variant is equipped with a 1.5-litre unit generating 118bhp and 280Nm with the 6-speed automatic, while the manual version produces 260Nm.
Features and Cabin Highlights
The feature list is extensive, including a head-up display, triple-screen setup, and a full-length panoramic sunroof that extends beyond what is offered by rivals. Other features include dual-zone AC, ambient lighting, built-in 5G with OTA updates, an app store with HD streaming, a 360-degree camera, ADAS Level 2, six airbags as standard, an electric parking brake, a powered driver’s seat, Dolby Atmos, and a Harman audio system tuned by Kalmi with a soundbar and 18 surround-sound modes.

Design and Capability
In terms of design, the Sierra features slim LED lamps, full-length rear lighting, and end-to-end front DRLs. The SUV measures 4.3 metres in length and comes with a 450mm water-wading capability.
The new Sierra is available in six colours and offers a generous standard equipment package.
