The 90s were all about the unique look and tough build of Sierra and it made a place of its own in the heart of SUV enthusiasts. And now, in 2025, Tata Motors is bringing it back, with a futuristic twist, merging nostalgia with modern design, modern engines and modern technology.
Contemporary Heritage Design
You couldn’t have the Tata Sierra 2025 without the original as a muse, but it’s had a radical modern makeover. It retains the high-rise profile and the signature shape, featuring the rear wraparound glass effect – in this case, through blacked-out C-pillars rather than an all-glass rear.

It’s a design that is loved by those adoring legacy and new age SUV buyers, thus, giving it an advantage in the ever-growing Indian SUV scene.
Luxury Interior Loaded With High-tech Goodies
Inside, the new Sierra is nothing like that old one. The Cabin The cabin is built around comfort, space, and technology.
In the cabin, the minimalist and futuristic layout packs in a huge touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, ambient lighting, and connected car features. It’s tidy inside, the materials all feel nice to the touch with sustainable fabric touches making it feel slightly more upmarket and eco-friendly.
It also comes with features like a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, wireless charging and voice-controlled assistant, meaning it’s a tech-forward SUV for today’s families.
Engine options: Petrol, Diesel and EV
The Sierra will be available with a host of powertrains targeting multiple customers, say for Tata Motors. The SUV is predicted to be offered in:
An 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine with manual and auto gearbox choices.
2.0-litre diesel, likely to be most popular with long-distance drivers, and hurriers.
And most importantly, an all-electric one on Tata’s Gen-2 EV platform, with an expected range of about 500 km.
This wide variety is bound to bring the Sierra to urban commuters, adventure junkies and the green crowd.
Ride Quality and Platform
Tata Sierra is based on the shared ALFA platform of other Tata vehicles as well.
That base helps the SUV deliver a smooth and nimble ride, whether it’s driven on highways or back roads. The suspension settings are optimized for comfort, and the electric version is likely to get instant torque delivery with regenerative braking for better fuel efficiency.
The Sierra will be road-tripper friendly though, thanks to its higher ground clearance and the wider tyres, yet convenient enough to city-goers thanks to its maneuverability factor.
