A new patent image of the Tata Sierra, which is set to go on sale by end of 2025, has surfaced on the internet, giving us a look at the production-spec design of the upcoming SUV. Tata Motors had said that the model showcased at the Auto Expo 2025 was in near-production guise, and the design patent confirms that the production-spec Sierra wouldn’t stray too far from it.
- Tata Sierra is expected to get 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines
- Gets a slightly different looking face than the Sierra EV
- Launch slated for end of 2025
Tata Sierra design patent image surface
Production-spec design slightly different from concept
The face of the Tata Sierra remains unchanged from the concept. It retains a high-set bonnet with a split headlamp arrangement comprising an LED light bar headlining the nose, and the main headlamp units are located on the bumper. The vertical strake-like detailing and the 'Sierra' lettering on the grille panel has also been retained, and the bumper gets a large central air intake and a faux bull bar-like effect.
However, there are a few differences in profile. The distinct kink in the B-pillar from the concept has been given a miss in the production-spec SUV, as has been the roof rails. The alloy wheel design is also slightly different from the star-like design seen on the concept. The patent image also does not show the Sierra’s signature curved-over rear window, but that’s something Tata will bring about by use of contrasting colour for the roof.
And while the rear of the SUV was not seen in this patent image, the Sierra concept had an upright tail gate with a full-width LED light bar and a two-tone bumper. We also haven’t got a look at the production-spec Sierra interior yet, but the model showcased at the Auto Expo previewed a triple screen setup – a first for a Tata. The Sierra will also likely be offered in both 4- and 5-seater layouts.
Tata Sierra engine options
Will get both petrol and diesel engines
Tata hasn’t yet divulged powertrain details of the combustion-powered Sierra, but it is expected to be offered with a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine making 170hp and 280Nm. The 1.5-litre diesel engine from the Curvv is also also expected to be on offer.
Tata Sierra launch details and rivals
The Sierra is expected to launch soon after the Sierra EV by late 2025, and it will rival the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Maruti Grand Vitara. While official figures are yet to be revealed, the Tata Sierra is expected to be around 4.3 metres long, meaning it will slot in below the Harrier.
