The Tata Sierra has been spied testing on our roads for the first time. The ICE version of the SUV debuted at Auto Expo 2025 and is immediately recognisable due to its iconic silhouette. The Sierra was showcased in a near-production guise at the Auto Expo, and it is set to go on sale by the end of this year.
- Sierra ICE will be offered with both petrol and diesel engines
- Design harks back to original Sierra from the 1990s
- Launch slated by end of 2025
Tata Sierra: what do the spy shots reveal?
The prototype is likely the ICE version of the Sierra as we can see a central air intake in the lower bumper area – the Sierra EV has a completely sealed-off fascia. While this prototype is heavily camouflaged, one can still make out the split headlamp setup at the front and a connected LED light bar at the rear. The prototype can also be seen riding on steel wheels, but the production-spec SUV is expected to come with 19-inch alloys on top trims.
The signature curved-over rear windows, the high-set bonnet and squared-out wheel arch cladding – design elements that hark back to the original Sierra – can all be expected on the final production version of the SUV.
Sierra interior yet to be seen
Unfortunately, we didn’t get a glimpse of the Sierra’s interior, but the model showcased at the Auto Expo featured a floating triple-screen setup and a four-spoke steering wheel. The production version will also likely use parts from Tata’s existing crop of SUVs for cost benefits.
Tata Sierra engine options
Expected to come with 1.5 petrol and 2.0 diesel engines
Tata hasn’t yet divulged powertrain details of the combustion-powered Sierra, but it is expected to be offered with either a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine – making 170hp and 280Nm – or the 2.0-litre diesel engine that’s also found on the Harrier and Safari. However, it remains to be seen if the diesel is offered in the same 170hp, 350Nm state of tune.
Tata Sierra launch details and rivals
The Sierra ICE is expected to launch soon after the Sierra EV by late 2025, and it will rival the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Maruti Grand Vitara. The Tata Sierra is expected to be around 4.3 metres long, meaning it will slot in below the Harrier, but official figures are yet to be revealed.
