Tata Sierra: Modern look blends with retro elements

Tata Motors has designed the new generation Sierra by blending the modern design philosophy with the original SUV's styling elements. While the flat face comes as a reminder of that strategy, the faux alpine window, replicating the original model's large glass panel is another key USP of the SUV. However, the OEM didn't use a proper alpine window in the new-age Sierra. Instead, it gets a blackened out C pillar, which gives out a vibe of an alpine window as well as a floating roof also. The modern elements that were not there in the original model include the LED headlamps, infinity LED DRL, LED taillights connected by a sleek LED strip, new design alloy wheels, skid plates etc.

The cabin of the Sierra will get a triple-screen layout at least on the top-end variant.

These include a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system at the centre and a 12.3-inch touchscreen display for the front passenger, along with a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster.

It gets automatic headlamps, rain-sensing automatic wipers, six airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Assist, TPMS, front and rear parking sensor, Level 2 ADAS suite etc.

Tata Sierra: New petrol meets old diesel engine

The new generation Tata Sierra is expected to come powered by a new 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which will be a first for any Tata car. Interestingly, this same engine is expected to make its way into the models like Harrier and Safari, which are slated to launch on December 9. This engine is capable of churning 168 bhp peak power and 280 Nm of maximum torque. Transmission choices will include a six-speed manual gearbox and a seven-speed DCT automatic unit. The diesel variant of the Sierra will be powered by a 1.5-litre power mill, capable of producing 116 bhp peak power and 260 Nm torque. Transmission choices for the diesel model will be same as the petrol model. This diesel engine is already a tried and tested one in the Nexon, Curvv and Altroz and it is a quite popular power mill. Further, there will be an all-electric iteration of the Sierra too, which would be available in two battery pack choices, promising over 500 km range per charge.
