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 Returns — A 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.
