Tata has finally revealed the ex-showroom prices of the Sierra’s top-spec Accomplished+ trim, which range from Rs 20.99 lakh to Rs 21.29 lakh. This midsize SUV’s top-spec variant comes loaded with features, just like the segment leader Hyundai Creta’s top-spec King variant introduced in September 2025. But is the Tata Sierra Accomplished+ a better option than the Hyundai Creta King in terms of features? Let’s find out.
Tata Sierra vs Hyundai Creta: Powertrain options
Both get turbo-petrol and diesel engines, but Creta offers an NA petrol too
The Sierra and Creta offer their 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines only with automatic transmissions; the Sierra gets a torque-converter gearbox, and the Creta has a 7-speed DCT. While both turbo-petrols produce 160hp, the Sierra’s unit makes 2Nm more torque, a negligible difference that won’t be noticeable in real-world conditions.
But the Sierra has a clear edge when it comes to the diesel engine, producing 2hp and 10-30Nm more than the Creta, depending on the transmission option chosen.
That said, the top-spec Creta King also offers a naturally aspirated petrol engine with both manual and automatic (CVT) gearbox options. Such an engine is available only in the Sierra’s lower variants.
Tata Sierra vs Hyundai Creta: Exterior
Both get similar equipment, but Creta has smaller wheels
When it comes to the exterior features, almost everything is identical on both midsize SUVs, including LED light bars at the front and rear, automatic headlights and electrically adjustable and foldable outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs). The differences are that the Creta gets smaller 18-inch alloy wheels and lacks front and rear fog lamps, as well as the more modern-looking flush-type door handles that the Sierra offers.
Tata Sierra vs Hyundai Creta: Interior and features
Sierra gets a third screen, while the Creta features a powered co-driver’s seat
The Sierra is the only midsize SUV to get a 12.3-inch passenger screen. Its infotainment system is also bigger than the Creta’s 10.25-inch unit, but the driver’s display is the same size. Both models support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, but in the Creta, this is enabled through a wired-to-wireless adapter, which is provided as a complimentary accessory by Hyundai. The Sierra also gets customisable ambient lighting, and its sound system has more speakers.
While other features are largely similar, the Creta offers more adjustment settings for the driver’s seat and an 8-way powered co-driver’s seat; the latter is altogether missing on the Sierra. Both offer boss mode for the front passenger seat, but it’s powered in the Creta and manually operated via a lever in the Sierra. Not just this, the Creta features a wireless phone charger for rear-seat passengers, a convenience lacking in the Sierra.
Tata Sierra vs Hyundai Creta: Driving tech
Sierra and Creta are almost identical in this regard
Both the Sierra and Creta feature similar driving tech, with drive and traction modes, the only difference being that the Hyundai offers an additional Eco drive mode. Their top-spec trims also get adaptive cruise control and idle start/stop, with the automatic variants offering paddle shifters as well.
Tata Sierra vs Hyundai Creta: Safety features
The Creta gets an additional safety feature over the Sierra
The safety suite of both midsize SUVs includes 6 airbags as standard, a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, Level 2 ADAS and a tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The Creta, however, goes a step further and offers a dashcam that monitors both the front and rear of the vehicle.
Tata Sierra vs Hyundai Creta: Prices
Creta’s top-spec variant is much more affordable than that of Sierra
Availability of a naturally aspirated engine makes the Creta’s top-spec King variant over Rs 3 lakh more affordable than the Sierra’s top Accomplished+ variant.
Even for other engine options, the Creta’s prices are lower than the Sierra’s. The Hyundai SUV’s turbo-petrol DCT costs at least Rs 94,000 less than the Sierra with a similar powertrain. The diesel-powered top-spec Creta is more affordable than the Sierra by at least Rs 1.35 lakh for the manual and Rs 1.09 lakh for the automatic transmission.
Tata Sierra vs Hyundai Creta: Which midsize SUV should you choose?
Both are strong offerings, but the Creta packs a lot more in its price point
Both the Tata Sierra and Hyundai Creta are well-equipped at their respective price points. However, the Creta feels a more rounded option as it comes at a considerably lower price while offering features such as a powered co-driver’s seat, a powered boss mode, a wireless phone charger for rear passengers and dual dashcams, which the Sierra lacks despite its higher price tag. The Creta also offers a naturally aspirated engine.
On the other hand, as mentioned earlier, the Sierra is the only model in its segment to offer a dedicated passenger screen that can be used to stream content or even play games. It is also the only midsize SUV to get as many as 12 speakers. Plus, stylistic elements such as the flush-type door handles and bigger alloys set it apart from the Hyundai. So, if you want to enjoy all the aforementioned features and the budget is not a constraint, you can consider the Sierra.
Prices are ex-showroom, India.
