2025 Tata Sierra Launch: Price, Colours, Features & Crash Test Details

2025 Tata Sierra Launch: The Future-Ready Icon Returns

For a whole generation of Indian car lovers, the word Sierra isn’t just a name—it’s a memory. A boxy 3-door SUV with that massive rear glass, thundering along our highways. In 2025, Tata Motors has brought the Sierra back. Not as a retro toy, but as a fully modern, tech-loaded, future-ready SUV that can stand shoulder to shoulder with anything in the mid-size segment.

Launched at an introductory price of ₹11.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the new Tata Sierra goes up against heavyweights like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Maruti Grand Vitara—but it doesn’t look like any of them. It’s more concept-car-on-the-road than “just another SUV.”

Exterior Design: Retro Soul, Sci-Fi Face

Stand in front of the new Sierra and you instantly know Tata wasn’t playing safe. The face is clean and futuristic:

• A sharp full-width LED DRL light bar stretching from edge to edge
• Split LED headlamps neatly tucked into the bumper
• A minimalist closed-off grille treatment that gives EV vibes even on the ICE variants
• A chunky skid plate hinting at SUV toughness

The overall look is modern and premium, with very little unnecessary ornamentation. It’s almost like Tata took an auto-show concept and decided not to water it down for production.

Side Profile & Rear: The Iconic Sierra Glasshouse Reimagined

Move to the side, and that’s where the nostalgia hits. The original Sierra was defined by its huge rear glass area. The 2025 model pays tribute with a floating glasshouse and an Alpine-window inspired rear quarter that visually echoes the old design while staying crash-safety compliant.

• Boxy, upright stance with strong shoulder lines
• 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels filling up the squared wheel arches (higher variants)
• Thick cladding around the lower body for SUV ruggedness
• Roof rails, flush door handles and a black roof tie the look together

At the rear, you get a connected LED tail-lamp bar that mirrors the front DRL, a clean tailgate and big, confident SIERRA lettering, with the Tata logo sitting above. It’s minimalistic but very contemporary.

All Available Colours: Six Personalities, One Sierra

Colours: Every Shade Tells a Story

Tata has gone all-in on characterful paint options. The new Sierra is offered in six monotone colours (all with a contrasting black roof):

           Andaman Adventure

A rich, almost tropical yellow that looks wild on the road. It’s the hero colour you’ve seen in most promos – instantly recognisable, especially with the black roof and chunky alloys.

Bengal Rouge

A deep, sophisticated red that highlights the muscular haunches and squared wheel arches. Perfect if you want something bold but still premium.

Coorg Clouds

A silver/grey with a misty, metallic sheen – think early-morning coffee runs in the hills. It makes the Sierra look more understated and urban-executive.

Munnar Mist

A soft green inspired by tea estates and mountain fog. It’s not your usual SUV colour, and that’s exactly why it stands out.

Pure Grey

The most “tech” looking of the lot – a clean grey that suits the futuristic light bar and black roof perfectly.CarWale+1

Pristine White

Classic, clean and very “new car in the family” vibes. With the wrap-around glass effect and black roof, it looks properly premium, not basic.

For a car that talks about escaping mediocre, this palette actually walks the talk – nothing feels generic.

Each shade changes the SUV’s personality—from shouty adventure machine to subtle executive shuttle.

Badging & Brand Story: “Escape Mediocre” in Metal

The Sierra name already carries weight, and Tata knows it. The SUV proudly wears large SIERRA badging on the tailgate, a subtle Sierra mascot on the sides, and the new-age Tata logo up front.

The brand line used for the SUV—“Escape Mediocre”—positions it as more than just another commuter. It’s aimed at buyers who want something distinctive, both in design and tech, rather than a safe, anonymous crossover.

Interior: Triple Screens, JBL Soundbar & Lounge-Like Cabin

Three screens, a soundbar, ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof – the cabin feels like a rolling tech lounge.

Open the door and the Sierra makes a strong first impression. The dashboard is dominated by the Horizon View triple-screen layout:

• Digital instrument cluster for the driver
• Central touchscreen for infotainment and car functions
• Passenger display so the co-driver can consume media independently

Running below the screens is a dashboard-mounted JBL soundbar, part of the 12-speaker JBL audio system with Dolby Atmos. Add to that ambient lighting, a floating centre console and a neat touch-based HVAC panel, and the whole cabin feels very “next-gen EV” rather than regular mid-size SUV.

Feature highlights include:

• Panoramic sunroof that floods the cabin with light
• Ventilated front seats (variant dependent)
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
• Wireless charging pad and multiple USB-C ports
• Soft-touch materials, practical storage spaces and a comfortable rear bench

Safety & the First-Ever Sierra vs Sierra Car-to-Car Crash Test

Tata put two Sierras into each other in a controlled crash – a rare, first-of-its-kind car-to-car test shown at an Indian launch.

Safety is where Tata has quietly built a reputation—and with the new Sierra, they decided to do something no one expects at a launch: show two brand-new SUVs crashing into each other on purpose.

Instead of only relying on the usual barrier tests, Tata conducted an internal, controlled Sierra vs Sierra car-to-car crash test. In this demo, two identical Tata Sierras were driven into a head-on collision with an offset overlap, simulating a real-world highway accident between two similar-sized SUVs.

According to Tata’s own data and the visuals shown at the launch:

• The passenger safety cell in both Sierras remained intact.
• All doors could be opened after impact, which is crucial for self-escape and rescue.
• The fuel system stayed sealed, helping reduce fire risk after a severe crash.
• Crash-test dummies inside showed minimal cabin intrusion, indicating a stable survival space.

This kind of car-into-car test is extremely rare to be shown publicly in India. It is Tata’s way of saying the Sierra’s structure is engineered not just to pass a lab test, but to hold up when another heavy SUV is coming at you.

However, it’s important to be clear: this Sierra vs Sierra crash is an internal manufacturer test, not an official Global NCAP or Bharat NCAP rating. The formal star rating will only come after the Sierra is tested under their standard protocols (offset deformable barrier, side impact, pole test, etc.).

On the equipment side, the new Sierra backs up that structural confidence with a long safety feature list:

• Six airbags as standard, with the potential for more on top variants
• All-wheel disc brakes with ABS and EBD
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
• Hill-hold assist
• ISOFIX child seat mounts
• Front and rear parking sensors

Higher variants then add the tech layer:

• 360-degree camera with bird’s-eye view
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Level 2 ADAS including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking and more

Put together—the internal Sierra vs Sierra crash test, the structural story and the electronic safety net—the 2025 Sierra looks very much like a strong future candidate for 5-star crash ratings once the official NCAP results are out.

Engines & Performance: Three Ways to Move

Under the skin, the 2025 Tata Sierra is powered by a family of 1.5-litre engines:

• 1.5L Naturally Aspirated Petrol
  Power: ~106 PS
  Torque: ~145 Nm
  Gearboxes: 6-speed manual, 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT)
  Character: Smooth, easy-going, city and family focused.
• 1.5L Turbo-Petrol
  Power: ~160 PS
  Torque: ~255 Nm (approx.)
  Gearbox: 6-speed automatic
  Character: Strong mid-range punch, ideal for highway use and enthusiastic drivers.
• 1.5L Turbo-Diesel
  Power: ~118 PS
  Torque: ~260 Nm (approx.)
  Gearboxes: 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic
  Character: High-torque, efficient cruiser for long-distance touring.

All current versions use a front-wheel-drive (FWD) layout. Tata has already teased a Sierra EV for the near future, which may introduce different power and drivetrain configurations, including the possibility of strong performance and all-wheel drive.

Variants, Positioning & Who Should Buy One

The Sierra’s variant walk—from Smart+ to Accomplished+—lets buyers choose how far into the tech and luxury spectrum they want to go. Lower trims will appeal to those who want the design and road presence at a more accessible price, while the top variants lean into the full triple-screen, JBL, ADAS experience.

You should seriously consider the 2025 Tata Sierra if you:

• Want an SUV that looks radically different from the usual crowd
• Value design, in-cabin tech and safety as much as power figures
