Check OffersTata Motors has officially launched the new Tata Sierra SUV in India, marking the comeback of an iconic moniker after an absence of 22 years since the original was discontinued in 2003. Starting at an introductory price of ₹11.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the Sierra slots below the Harrier in Tata’s SUV lineup and enters the midsize SUV segment dominated by the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. Bookings for the SUV open on December 16, with deliveries to commence from January 15, 2026.
Tata Sierra: Powertrain options
The Sierra has been launched initially as an ICE-powered model, with three powertrain options available to the buyer. Apart from the 1.5-litre Kryojet diesel, these include two 1.5-litre petrol units: the TGDi Hyperion turbo-petrol and the Revotron naturally aspirated petrol. Transmission options span manual and automatic choices. An all-electric Sierra based on the same architecture is expected to be revealed at a later date.
| Engine | Gearbox Options | Power Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5-litre Hyperion TGDi Turbo-Petrol | 6AT | 160 PS, 255 Nm |
| 1.5-litre Revotron Naturally Aspirated Petrol | 6MT, 7DCA | 106 PS, 145 Nm |
| 1.5-litre KryoJet Diesel | 6MT, 6AT | 118 PS, 260 (MT) / 280 Nm (AT) |
Tata Sierra: Underpinnings and safety
The Sierra 2025 is underpinned by the new ARGOS platform (All-Terrain Ready, Omni-Energy, Geometry Scalable), engineered to support both ICE and EV configurations. It is also the first ICE vehicle in India to introduce the TiDAL 2.0 ethernet-based electrical architecture, enabling up to 1 Gbps data transfer, 5G vehicle connectivity, OTA updates and centralised computing. Tata says the system offers end-to-end cybersecurity protection and hybrid cloud storage.
The Sierra, like all the latest Tata cars, places strong emphasis on safety. At launch, the carmaker detailed how two Sierra prototypes were deliberately crashed to replicate real-world scenarios. According to the company, the passenger cell remained intact, doors were able to open post-impact, and the fuel system remained sealed to prevent fires. The belt mechanisms were said to release correctly, while the SUV maintained its overall structural integrity after the impact. The Sierra comes with six airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners as standard, while Level-2 ADAS is available with up to 22 functions on the top-spec variants.
Off-road credentials include a 26.5-degree approach angle, 23.1-degree ramp-over angle, 31.6-degree departure angle, 205 mm ground clearance, and a 10.6-metre turning circle. Tata further claims the Sierra offers the best water-wading capability in its class.
