New Tata Sierra Launch | Seltos and Vitara trapped

Today we will talk about Tata Sierra, which is going to be launched in India soon. And listen, this car is going to be a headache for Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, Maruti Vitara and Toyota Heroider.

But what is its specialty? Will it really be able to compete with all these? Let’s unravel this mystery and find out why Creta and Seltos may suffer the most damage due to the New Tata Sierra. Let’s find out how.

First of all, understand that Tata Sierra is not a new vehicle but the return of an iconic name. Tata Sierra ruled the Indian roads in the nineties.

Who can forget its boxy design, rough and tough look and the rear glass that used to move up and down? But now in 2025, Tata Motors is bringing it in a completely new avatar. And this is not just a car but a statement that Tata can now make not just budget cars but also premium, stylish and feature packed cars.

New Tata Sierra design

Let’s first talk about its design. The new avatar of the New Tata Sierra is very modern, but it also reflects the retro charm of the old Sierra. Its front grille is big, bold and comes with Tata’s signature humanity line, which is similar to Harrier and Safari.

LED headlamps, DRLs and fog lamps give it a completely futuristic look. But the real fun is its panoramic glass roof. Yes, this glass roof is so big that you can count the stars at night or enjoy the raindrops, that too without getting wet.

But friends, how hot will this glass roof make it in summer? This is the question that comes to the mind of every SUV buyer. In my opinion, Tata should provide a smart sunshade in it otherwise your car can become an oven in the heat of Delhi.

New Tata Sierra engine

Now let’s talk about its engine. You can expect to get two engine options in Tata Sierra. First, a two-liter diesel engine which is also in Tata Harrier and Safari and second, a 1 liter turbo petrol engine. The diesel engine gives 170 bhp and 350 Newton meter torque, which is perfect for long drives and highway cruising.

The petrol engine will give around 160 bhp, which is enough for city driving and weekend trips. But these are just numbers, the real fun will come when you drive it.

I have heard that the Tata Sierra’s suspension is so smooth that it will swallow up the potholes on Indian roads like a hungry person eats pav bhaji. But if you ever accidentally drive your car into a pothole and the tyre bursts, the Tata Sierra’s multi-terrain mode can save your life.

What is new Intirear

Let’s talk about the interiors now. The cabin of the Tata Sierra is premium. Soft touch materials, leather upholstery and a large 12.3 inch touchscreen infotainment system. This screen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and also has Tata’s connected car technology iRA.

But friends, do you remember the old days when we used to run a cassette player in the car and when the tape got stuck, we used a pen to fix it? Now everything has become digital, but if the touchscreen of your car gets hung up, then the pen will not be of any use.

My advice is to always keep your favourite playlist in a backup USB drive, because relying on technology is like finding your way around Delhi without traffic. Now coming to safety, the Tata Sierra will get six airbags, ABS with EBD and ADAS features like lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.

ADAS means Advanced Driver Assistance System, which makes your driving easy and safe. But friends, how much will ADAS work on Indian roads? Imagine, you are comfortably listening to a song on the highway with cruise control on and suddenly a cow comes in front of you. ADAS may apply the brakes but your heart will start pounding, right?

Pricing details of Tata Sierra

Now let’s talk about its price. According to sources, the price of Tata Sierra can be between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 20 lakh. It will compete directly with Creta, Seltos, Taigun, Vitara and Herider.

But will it be able to beat these cars? And yes, if you have ever got your car repaired at Tata’s service center, then you know how budget friendly their service is.

In the service centers of other companies, it feels as if you have gone to get your car fixed or to sell your kidney. The ground clearance of Tata Sierra is so great that you can take it on the unpaved roads of the village and it will run without stopping.

But if your vehicle gets stuck in mud, the four by four variant of Tata Sierra can become your superhero. I once got my old SUV stuck in mud and four people got tired of pushing it. Finally a tractor wala bhaiya saved us.

With the Tata Sierra, I might not have to look for that tractor guy. Now another interesting thing, the Sierra will also have features like wireless charging and ventilated seats.

Ventilated seats mean that your seat will stay cool in summer and your back will not stick to your sweat. These features of Tata Sierra will give you freedom from those old days.

Real life experience

Now let’s talk a little about its practical use. Suppose you are going on a family trip. The boot space of Tata Sierra is so large that you can easily carry the luggage of four people.

And if you are on a solo trip, you can make a full bed by folding the rear seats. But yes, if there is someone in your family who asks you to stop for tea every ten minutes, then the mileage of Tata Sierra can lighten your pocket a bit.

My advice, always keep a thermos full of tea so that you can save both money and time on the highway. Now let’s talk about its rivals. Creta and Seltos are ruling the market, but their prices are now skyrocketing.

Taigun and Tata are slightly premium, but their boot space and ground clearance may fall short in front of Tata Sierra. The hybrid engine of the Highrider is good for mileage, but if you want power and off-roading, then you will like the diesel variant of Tata Sierra more.

In my opinion, the biggest advantage of Tata Sierra is its Desi DNA. Tata has built it keeping in mind the Indian roads and customers and this is its strength.

Let’s now talk about some of the shortcomings of this car because no car is perfect. Firstly, the petrol engine of Tata Sierra may not be as powerful as the turbo petrol of Creta. Secondly, the fit and finish of Tata still lags behind Japanese and Korean brands in some areas.

And thirdly, if you want an automatic car then the AMT transmission of Tata Sierra might disappoint you a bit as it is not as smooth as DCT or CVT.

But still, Tata has improved its quality a lot in the recent years and Tata Sierra can be the latest example of this.

What is the feature of new Tata Sierra?

Now let’s talk a little about the future. Tata Sierra is expected to be launched in mid-2025, but will this car end the game of Creta and Seltos? According to me, Tata Sierra can be a game changer, especially for those who want a stylish, powerful and value for money SUV. But to survive in the market, Tata will have to strengthen its service and dealer network.

Conclusion

Tata Sera is not just a car, it is a feeling, a car that gives you the perfect mix of style, comfort and performance. It is for those who love their car, who consider every drive as an adventure, and who want their car to reflect their personality. So if you are looking for an SUV that can compete with the Creta, Seltos and others, then go for the Tata Sierra.
