The Tata Sierra is finally back – and the Indian automotive market is buzzing with excitement. Tata Motors has officially unveiled the 2025 Tata Sierra, reviving the legendary nameplate from the 90s with a completely modern design, futuristic interior, and a strong feature list.
The new Sierra has launched at a special introductory price of ₹11.49 lakh, while the top-end variant is expected to touch ₹20–22 lakh depending on powertrain and features. Full variant-wise pricing will be revealed by December 2025, as confirmed by Tata.
This launch marks a major milestone for Tata Motors, as Sierra now joins the brand’s premium SUV family alongside the Harrier and Safari – but in a far more lifestyle-oriented avatar.
Here’s the complete breakdown of everything revealed so far.
1. A Design That Blends Retro Heritage With Modern 2025 Styling
The most striking part of the Sierra revival is its design. Tata has managed to preserve the iconic Sierra DNA while making it look futuristic enough for 2025 buyers.
Key design highlights:
- Signature wraparound rear glass – A direct callback to the 1990s Sierra
- Clean, boxy silhouette – Strong SUV stance
- Full-width LED DRL bar
- Squared wheel arches with thick cladding
- Connected LED tail strip
- High ground clearance for Indian roads
The SUV looks muscular, modern, and unmistakably “Sierra.”
This aggressive styling positions the Sierra as both a premium family SUV and an adventure lifestyle vehicle.
2. Interior – Minimalist, Premium & Much More Spacious Than Expected
Inside, the Tata Sierra looks nothing like the old model – it’s a futuristic lounge.
Interior Highlights:
- Dual 12-inch digital screens (infotainment + instrument cluster)
- Premium soft-touch interiors
- Panoramic sunroof
- Floating dashboard layout
- Ambient lighting
- Ventilated seats (expected in top variants)
- Large centre console with rotary controls
The cabin is designed to feel wide, airy, and luxurious. Tata has leaned heavily into the minimalist design trend – reducing physical buttons without compromising usability.

6. Price – Starts at ₹11.49 Lakh, Expected to Touch ₹20–22 Lakh for Top Models
Tata revealed only the starting price at the launch event:

Expected Top-End Price Range: ₹20 lakh to ₹22 lakh
This depends on:
