The Tata Sierra, in its ICE (internal combustion engine) version, closely resembles its EV counterpart, with only minor changes to the grille and bumper design.
The Tata Sierra ICE, which retains the classic silhouette of its predecessor, features a fresh design language. Notable exterior elements include connected LED DRLs, flush door handles, and connected LED tail lights. Inside, it offers a more advanced setup compared to the Harrier and Safari, with three screens on the dashboard. Key amenities include three 12.3-inch screens, a panoramic sunroof, and ventilated front seats. For safety, it comes equipped with 6 airbags, a 360-degree camera, and ADAS. It will be available with 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 2-litre diesel engine options, and is expected to be priced from Rs 10.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The iconic Sierra, now reimagined as an ICE model, will also have an upcoming EV version.
The Tata Sierra ICE showcases a fresh design philosophy, similar to the modern Tata Harrier and Tata Safari, yet preserves the classic charm with a silhouette reminiscent of the original Sierra. At the front, it features connected LED DRLs, while the headlights are integrated into the bumper. The side profile highlights large alpine windows, a signature of the original Sierra, along with flush-type door handles. At the rear, it follows the trend with connected LED tail lights.
Cabin: A Typical Tata Design
While the concept model hasn’t provided many details about the cabin, it’s expected to share similarities with the minimalist interiors of the new Harrier-Safari duo. Notable features include a triple screen setup and a 4-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated ‘Tata’ logo at the center. A key differentiator for the Sierra will likely be the availability of both 4- and 5-seat configurations.
