Tata Sierra:Tata Motors is set to launch one of its most eagerly awaited SUVs in years — the next-generation Tata Sierra. With industry-first tech, an aggressive new design, and segment-first features, this SUV is ready to take on some of the market’s biggest players. Here’s all you need to know.
EV and Petrol Options to Suit Different Buyers
The new Tata Sierra will come in pure electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) variants. The electric variant will be launched first, with the petrol variant soon after. Both will have the identical overall boxy and upright design, but the EV will have a marginally cleaner, more aerodynamic appearance. This two-variant approach is intended to appeal to eco-friendly buyers as well as old-school car drivers.
All-Wheel Drive Option for Thrill Seekers
In a bold step that differentiates it from most competitors, the Tata Sierra EV will reportedly provide an optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) option. The configuration will likely feature a front-axle motor as the main drive and a second motor on the rear axle. The system will engage the rear motor only when additional power or traction is required, striking a balance between performance and efficiency. It’s an excellent option for off-road drivers and drivers seeking additional grip during difficult driving situations.
A New Benchmark in Engine Performance
Tata Motors will roll out a new 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine in the ICE variant of the Sierra. This is a four-pot unit that will deliver a staggering 168 hp and 280 Nm of torque — levels which are currently unbeatable in this category. With that kind of aggressive performance, the new Sierra will not just provide refinement but also one robust acceleration and high-speed cruising capabilities.
Techy Cabin with Triple Screen Layout
Tech enthusiasts have much to look forward to. The new Tata Sierra will be the first three-screen dashboard setup in its segment. It comes with a digital driver’s display, an infotainment central unit, and a passenger-specific touchscreen. The passenger screen will support media streaming, gaming, and even navigating and controlling other features, making the ride more interactive and engaging.
Expected Launch Timeline
The release of the next-generation Tata Sierra is slated for towards the end of the ongoing financial year. With both petrol and electric models in the works, Tata Motors seems poised to tackle a wide range of buyers and reimage what’s possible here.
