Tata Motors has unveiled the new-gen Tata sierra-in-early-2024 Sierra, a midsize SUV that competes in a crowded segment. Starting at Rs. 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the Sierra offers three engine options paired with various transmission choices to cater to diverse customer needs.
Key Takeaways
- The Tata Sierra is available in seven variants and six colors, offering a range of features from basic to advanced.
- It comes equipped with three 1.5-litre engines: Revotron (naturally aspirated), Kryotec diesel, and TGDi Hyperion turbo.
- The SUV includes standard safety features such as ESP, ROM, VDC, CSC, AVH, HAC, HBA, BDW, EDTC, TCS, ABS, EBD, CDD, AIB, and DST across all variants.
Starting with the entry-level Smart+ variant, the Sierra offers a comprehensive list of standard features including bi-LED projector headlamps, six airbags, electrically adjustable ORVMs with turn indicators, and powered tailgate. The higher-end Pure and Adventure variants add advanced infotainment systems, dual-zone climate control, 360-degree camera, and other luxury amenities.
The Sierra’s engine lineup includes a naturally aspirated Revotron petrol engine, a Kryotec diesel unit, and the TGDi Hyperion turbocharged petrol variant. These engines are paired with manual, DCT, and automatic transmissions to cater to varying customer preferences. The choice of engines and gearboxes allows for customization based on performance requirements and fuel efficiency needs.
Compared to its competitors such as the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos, the Tata Sierra offers a competitive mix of features and pricing. For instance, while the Hyundai Creta starts at Rs. 10.39 lakh (ex-showroom) with fewer standard safety features, it offers more variants and color options than the Sierra. On the other hand, the Kia Seltos begins at Rs. 9.45 lakh but includes advanced infotainment systems from its base variant onwards.
The Tata Sierra’s Adventure+ variant stands out for its Superglide suspension with FDD and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, setting it apart in terms of ride quality and connectivity features. However, the pricing strategy needs to be competitive to attract customers considering other options available in the segment.
