A new patent image of the Tata Sierra, which is set to go on sale by the end of this year, 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
- Its face looks slightly different than the Sierra EV
- It will rival Creta, Seltos and Grand Vitara; launch likely in 2025-end
Tata Sierra design patent image
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 have 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 and the roof rails have been given a miss in the production-spec SUV. The alloy-wheel design is slightly different from the star-like design seen in the concept. Also, the patent image does not show the Sierra’s signature curved-over rear window, but that’s something Tata will bring about by the use of a contrasting colour for the roof.
While the rear is not visible in this patent image, the Sierra concept had an upright tailgate with a full-width LED light bar and a two-tone bumper. We also haven’t gotten a look at the production-spec Sierra’s interior yet, but the model showcased at the Auto Expo previewed a triple-screen setup – a first for a Tata. The Sierra will likely be offered in both 4- and 5-seat layouts.
Tata Sierra engine options
Will get petrol and diesel engines
Tata hasn’t yet divulged powertrain details of the combustion-powered Sierra, but it is likely to have a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine making 170hp and 280Nm. The company is also expected to offer the 1.5-litre diesel engine from the Curvv.
Tata Sierra launch details and rivals
The Sierra is expected to launch by late 2025, soon after the Sierra EV, 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.
