4 Versions Of Tata Sierra To Look Forward To
The Tata Sierra brand made a glorious comeback in November 2025. The new Sierra is now available with petrol and diesel engines and manual and automatic transmissions. The SUV attracted a lot of attention. Tata Motors now has plans to introduce more versions of the Sierra, widening its appeal further. It will get EV, All Wheel Drive (AWD) and hybrid versions in the future.
The new Sierra now has a front-wheel drive (FWD) configuration. It is based on the carmaker’s newly-developed ARGOS platform. It is a versatile, modular platform and can support AWD. Tata Motors is reportedly working on an AWD version of the internal combustion Sierra.
The internal combustion Sierra is offered with three engine options- 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5L diesel and 1.5L turbocharged petrol. For now, it is unclear which of these would be offered on the AWD version.
The AWD version is likely to remain identical to the regular petrol/diesel version in terms of design and features. It is expected to debut in early 2027.
Tata Motors is also said to be working on a strong hybrid version of the Sierra. It is expected to be out by the end of 2027 or in early 2028. A strong hybrid version will help the Sierra adhere to the upcoming stricter emission norms. The carmaker seems to be aiming for high fuel efficiency and lower emissions with the strong hybrid setup. The details of this aren’t known yet.
Speculations suggest that the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine could form its base. This is an Atkinson cycle engine. A small hybrid battery pack and electric motor will be paired with it on the strong hybrid version. When it launches, the hybrid Sierra will face competition from the Renault Duster hybrid, Nissan Tekton hybrid, Maruti Suzuki Victoris hybrid, Grand Vitara hybrid and the Toyota Hyryder hybrid.
The final one in this list is the Sierra.EV, set to launch in India on June 30, 2026. It will have a design that retains all important cues of the internal combustion version- clamshell tailgate, panoramic rear glass areas, flush-type door handles, and more. Like the internal combustion version, it will also have a tall and upright stance.
Additionally, the Sierra.EV will have a closed-off grille, new bumpers, aero-optimized wheels and ‘.EV’ badges as styling elements that would differentiate it from the petrol/diesel version. The front fascia will look cleaner on the EV.
The interior will likely get new colours and trims. The overall layout and design are expected to remain close to those of the internal combustion version. The EV will likely share its feature list with the internal combustion version. If so, it will get the triple screen setup, premium JBL audio with Dolby Atmos, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dual-zone climate control, ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate and more.
It will be based on the Acti.EV+ platform and will likely offer Vehicle-to-Load and Vehicle-to-Vehicle charging as well. This is the same architecture that forms the base of the larger Harrier.EV.
Tata Motors hasn’t revealed the battery sizes yet, although they are likely to range between 55 kWh and 75 kWh, the larger delivering around 500km of range. The Sierra.EV will have both single-motor and dual-motor (AWD) versions.
