Tata Motors has finally showcased the all-new Sierra, and there is much curiosity around this product because the name itself evokes memories from the 1990s. Concepts were shown earlier, but this time, the full model is out, and all details are clear.
The idea with this new Sierra is simple: keep the old charm but make it fit today’s needs. So the shape is still boxy, still upright, still that familiar stance, but everything else feels modern.
Exterior: Clean and Confident
The front is cleaned up and made clutter-free by an LED DRL that runs in one piece across the width. The headlamps sit low in the bumper, flanking the skid plate and fog lamps. Gloss-black panels fill the space between the DRLs, the logo, and the ‘Sierra’ branding to give it a cohesive face.
From the side, the design is straight and purposeful, including flush door handles to help keep just one simple, meaningful character line running along its flank. The signature large glass area between the B and C pillars recalls the original Sierra. It rides on 19-inch alloys with squared-off cladding around the arches for a tough stance.
At the back, there’s another full-width light bar similar to the front, and the clamshell tailgate adds to the SUV’s upright, timeless look. The design philosophy is all about clean surfacing, wide shoulders, and a stable, long-wheelbase posture. It’s not a copy of the old Sierra, but a reinterpretation of its spirit.
Interior: Calm and Spacious
Step inside and Tata has put together a cabin around a quiet, open layout. A three-screen arrangement including a digital driver display, a large central infotainment unit, and an additional co-driver screen, and all can share information. The four-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo is from the Curvv. The theme of black and grey keeps it simple and premium.
There is a wide PanoraMax sunroof stretching close to the C-pillar, adding brightness to the space. The Sierra gets a five-seat layout with dual-tone grey and beige seats, adjustable headrests, and 3-point seatbelts for all passengers.
Tata refers this interior concept as “Life Space”. It comprises the TheatrePro screen layout with the JBL 12-speaker system and Dolby Atmos. The soft-touch materials, soothing colours, and ambient lighting contribute to giving it a living room-like ambiance. The expansive glass area furthers the airy feel inside.

Engines and Powertrain
Tata is expected to offer three engines with the Sierra.

- There may also be a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine.
- And the familiar 1.5-litre diesel with around 118 hp and 260 Nm.
The petrol engines are likely to have both manual and automatic options.
Global Recognition
The new Sierra also won a Red Dot Design Award, judged by expert jurors from various countries. For Tata, this is big because it puts Indian design teams on the global map.
Conclusion
The new Tata Sierra takes this old name that many people remember and builds a fresh SUV around it. It looks clean, is modern in tech, and has a mix of both petrol and diesel engines. Everything seems focused on making a practical SUV with a touch of old-school charm. Full launch happens on November 25, and then the story then carries on from there.
