Tata Motors, a renowned Indian automotive company, is preparing to reintroduce its iconic SUV, the Tata Sierra, to the Indian market. This vehicle was highly popular in the 1990s, but was eventually discontinued. The company plans to launch it with a fresh design and advanced features at the BMGE 2025 event. Notably, the electric vehicle (EV) version of the Sierra will debut first, followed by petrol and diesel variants.
Based on recent testing models, the design is expected to closely resemble the concept model displayed last year. It will feature a wide horizontal grille, sleek headlights, and a full-width LED light bar. The SUV’s rear will have a strong bumper, sleek taillamps, and a roof spoiler, contributing to its attractive appearance. It is anticipated to include a panoramic sunroof with a black roof, creating a floating roof effect.
While Tata Motors has not released official specifications, it is estimated that the EV version will feature a dual-motor setup similar to the Harrier EV, enabling all-wheel drive (AWD) capability and a range exceeding 500 km. The petrol variant may include a new 1.5-liter turbo engine, producing approximately 168 PS of power and 280 Nm of torque. The diesel variant is expected to have a 2.0-liter engine, delivering roughly 170 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque. Transmission choices may include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
The new Sierra’s interior will be completely modern, potentially featuring a triple-screen setup with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12.3-inch driver display. Furthermore, the SUV might incorporate Level-2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, and other premium features.
According to reports, the Tata Sierra could be launched in the Indian market in early 2026. The company has showcased it at dealer events and has been frequently spotted testing prototypes, indicating that the SUV’s development is nearly complete.
