2025 Tata Sierra- the iconic SUV is making a bold comeback, modern design & advanced powertrain options

2025 Tata Sierra — the iconic SUV is making a bold comeback, blending nostalgia, modern design, and advanced powertrain options

1. The Legend ReturnsA Bold New Avatar

  • Tata Motors is reviving the Sierra nameplate — a cult-favourite SUV from the 1990s — with a modern, production-ready design. 

  • The styling channels retro roots: a boxy silhouette, tall bonnet, squared wheel arches. But it's been reinterpreted for the present, with contemporary details. 

  • Front design: split LED headlamps, a full-width LED DRL bar, gloss-black grille, and silver skid plate give it a rugged yet premium look. 

  • Rear styling: upright tailgate, connected LED tail-lamps, clean surfaces, flush door handles, and cladding reinforce that strong SUV presence. 

  • Inside, the Sierra will come with a triple-screen dashboard — reportedly integrating the digital instrument cluster, infotainment, and a front-passenger screen in one glass panel.

  • Other modern touches: ADAS (driver-assist features), 360° camera, powered & ventilated seats, and a panoramic roof are expected.

2. Powertrain Options: ICE + EV

  • Tata is launching the Sierra in both ICE (internal combustion) and EV (electric) versions. 

  • According to India Today, the ICE versions will likely arrive first (mid-November 2025), followed by the EV a few weeks later.

  • ICE engines expected:

    • 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (~170 PS, 280 Nm) 

    • 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel (shared with Harrier/Safari) with around 168 bhp, 350 Nm 

  • Transmissions: Reports talk about a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. 

  • EV version:

    • Based on Tata’s Gen2 EV platform (Acti.EV architecture). 

    • May offer dual-motor AWD (all-wheel drive) for some variants. 

    • Likely battery: Multiple pack options, with some projections pointing to a 500+ km range. 

3. Launch Timeline & Date

  • The official launch date is set for 25 November 2025.

  • According to some media, the vehicle will be unveiled around 15 November, with the price announcement coming on the 25th. 

  • The ICE and EV versions are being rolled out in a phased manner. 

4. Expected Price

  • ICE variants: There are conflicting reports. Some sources suggest a starting ex-showroom price around ₹10–11 lakh

  • EV variant: Expected to be significantly more expensive — in the ballpark of ₹25–30 lakh (ex-showroom), per Hindustan Times.

  • Note: These are expected / projected prices based on media and industry estimates. Official pricing will be clearer at or after the 25 Nov event.

5. Why This Matters

  • Heritage + Modernity: The new Sierra isn’t just a nostalgic throwback — Tata is leveraging a legacy name but giving it very modern underpinnings and tech.

  • Strategic Positioning: In Tata’s SUV lineup, Sierra seems to be positioned above the Curvv, adding a premium lifestyle SUV option. 

  • EV Push: By making Sierra available as an EV, Tata reinforces its commitment to electrification while still catering to ICE buyers.

  • Design Identity: The bold, boxy silhouette ensures Sierra stands out. The design is not just functional but also emotionally resonant for those who remember the original.
