The iconic Tata Sierra is all set to make a comeback, and it might happen sooner than expected. After being showcased at a private dealer event in July and spotted multiple times on Indian roads during testing, reports suggest the SUV could finally be launched as early as November 2025.
Exterior Design: A Modern Take on a Classic
Spy shots reveal that the upcoming Sierra looks almost production-ready. It retains signature elements from the original SUV, like the boxy silhouette and the distinctive alpine window design, but now comes in a more practical 5-door layout built on a new monocoque platform.
The design follows Tata’s latest styling language, with sharp LED DRLs linked by a full-width light bar, flush door handles, squared-off wheel arches, and at the back, connected LED tail lamps paired with a chunky layered bumper.
Interior and Features: Packed With Tech
Inside, Tata seems to be going premium to take on rivals like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. One of the biggest talking points is a triple-screen dashboard layout — a first for Tata and something similar to what we’ve seen in the Mahindra XEV 9e.
Other expected highlights include a new 4-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo, ventilated and powered front seats, a panoramic sunroof, premium audio system, dual-zone climate control, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Safety: Built to Impress
Tata has been consistent with safety in recent years, and the Sierra is expected to aim for a 5-star Bharat NCAP/Global NCAP rating. The SUV is likely to be loaded with Level-2 ADAS features, along with 6 airbags, ESP, hill hold and descent control, and a 360-degree camera.

Petrol: A new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (170 PS, 280 Nm) with manual and automatic gearbox options.
