I am planning to buy a new car. Currently owning a 2022 Creta. I am confused between the Tata Sierra Turbo petrol accomplished + and the Mahindra XUV 700 AX7 model, as the prices are quite similar for both these models. Not sure which one will make better sense, and also the one that will be easier to manage for a long period of ownership
The Tata Sierra and Mahindra XUV700 are slightly different vehicles, and it depends on your requirements and priorities. Also, the Mahindra XUV700 is due to be discontinued and replaced in Jan 2026 with the XUV7X0, which is essentially an upgraded XUV700.
If you want power and performance, the Mahindra XUV 7XO, with its strong petrol and diesel engine options, is the one for you. However, the petrol engine is a bit of a guzzler and will burn a hole in your pocket. Another reason to buy the XUV7X0 is the space and the on-board tech, which is very impressive.
The Tata Sierra is a more compact car, which makes it much easier to park and manoeuvre, and overall it's easier to drive thanks to fantastic all-round visibility. The Sierra’s 1.5 turbo-petrol, though nowhere near as powerful as the XUV7X0’s 2-litre petrol, is smooth and strong enough to give you enough punch for everyday driving. Also, a plus is the 6-speed auto, which is jerk-free and refined.
The Sierra’s long-term performance is not yet known, and Tata’s poor reputation for quality and service precedes it. However, since it's made in a new plant with a far better quality culture, we are hopeful that with the Sierra, Tata will put this reputation behind it. We would lean towards the Sierra as it's a similar kind of car to the Hyundai Creta, which you are currently using.

I am looking to buy a comfortable 5-seater SUV for driving in Mumbai and its outskirts, and I am confused whether to go for the Honda Elevate CVT or book the Tata Sierra DCA; could you please help me decide?
Both cars you selected have 1.5 naturally aspirated (NA) engines, and the Honda car engine mated to a CVT is clearly the better option for several reasons.
Firstly, Honda makes the best small-capacity naturally aspirated engines, and for Mumbai traffic, the CVT is a much smoother automatic than the twin-clutch DCA in the Tata.
Also, the Tata engine, which develops a mere 106hp, is nowhere near as powerful as the Honda engine (121hp). Hence, Honda Elevate is better than the Tata Sierra DCA, which comes with this 1.5 NA engine.

I have been using a Swift Dzire diesel for 20 years and am very happy with its performance. I drive about 40 km daily, mostly local. I want to buy a new car with a slightly larger boot (around 600 litres). My requirements are minimal, but essential daily-use features are a must. My budget is under ₹16 lakh on road. Please suggest suitable options.
The Tata Sierra is an excellent option for you, keeping your big boot space requirements in mind. The Sierra boasts a boot up to 622 litres (up to the roof), which should serve your needs well.
Moreover, it is a spacious car, and the Sierra Pure 1.5 Petrol MT variant that'll fit within your budget gets the basics like a touchscreen, electric mirror adjustment, keyless entry, rear AC vents, etc.
Another option that you can consider for its expansive boot space is the MG Hector.

I own a 2011 Swift VDI and am looking to purchase a car with good fuel efficiency and, more importantly, better rear-seat comfort for my parents. We do occasional long trips. I initially considered the XEV 9e, but I am concerned about charging infrastructure and waiting times during long or unplanned trips. I then looked at the Grand Vitara, but the rear seat was not comfortable for my parents and felt similar to the Swift. Should I go for the Sierra diesel or wait for strong hybrid options?
Yes, you're right. Although the situation has improved lately, the concern of range and finding a charger on a long trip looms large over EV ownership. Therefore, if you do such trips, it's best to avoid an electric car for now.
The only new strong hybrid model on the immediate horizon is the Kia Seltos hybrid, but this version is unlikely to be available before the end of 2026 or early 2027. You should check out the Tata Sierra diesel, as it currently has possibly the best rear seat space and comfort in the segment. The diesel engine is familiar, and while it isn't very refined, it has the requisite pulling power you need on your long highway trips. Fuel efficiency should also be good, and there is the convenience of a smooth automatic gearbox with this diesel engine as well.

I currently drive a Hyundai Grand i10 (manual, petrol) and want to buy a new automatic petrol SUV within a ₹15 lakh budget. My priorities are safety, rear-seat space and boot capacity. I prefer models such as the Tata Sierra, Curv, Nexon, Venue N Line and Kia cars. My usage is mostly city driving, with highway trips once every three months. Please suggest the right car.
Since you already drive a Hyundai car, it's best to stick with the brand, and in your budget, the new Hyundai Venue makes sense. It's the latest car in its segment, and as such, offers the newest tech and features.
While it hasn't been crash tested yet, it uses a new-gen platform and features plenty of safety kit, so we expect it to perform. Its rear seat and boot are both pretty spacious for the class, and if you choose the N Line variant, as you prefer, you'll get some sporty design elements as well.
The Tata Sierra and new Kia Seltos would have been better options for your requirements, but sadly, automatic versions of those cars will be outside of your budget.

Hi, I’m planning to buy a new SUV. My daily running is about 50 km. Should I choose an EV, petrol, or diesel? I’ve shortlisted the Harrier EV, Mahindra XEV9S, the upcoming Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel, and the Tata Sierra petrol. Please help me decide.
An EV will surely offer a smooth driving experience with the lowest running cost. However, it does have its challenges when it comes to long-distance trips. The charging infrastructure needed for a hassle-free road trip is not yet in place, and therefore, if you choose to take your SUV on a long-distance trip, it will require a lot of planning.
Considering your 50km running, a petrol SUV will do the job well, and in that case, the new Tata Sierra is a good option. It has a strong road presence, a strong petrol engine and a roomy cabin with a lengthy feature list as well. Unlike the XUV 7XO, it isn't a 7-seater. So if you don't need the third row, the Sierra is a good option to consider.

Confused between Nexon EV and Tata Sierra petrol. I wanted an electric car car but after seeing the new Sierra, I am confused
We suggest you go with the Tata Sierra Turbo Petrol. It is a very good package, has all the features, performance, space and looks. Sierra’s new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine feels refined; it puts out 160hp and 255Nm, the ride is comfortable, and on fast turns it remains planted. Looks stunning and its interiors are more premium than any other Tata.
This Tata car is loaded with features, slick screens (top variant gets 3 of these), extendable thigh support for front seats, front ventilated seats, powered seats, ADAS and many more.

I liked the Sierra Adventure Plus model, but it is above my budget. What are the alternatives?
If you would still like to stick with the Tata Sierra, you could consider the lower Pure+ variant. This would come in cheaper by 1 to 1.5 lakh rupees, depending on which engine you are looking at. Feature-wise, it would still give bits like dual zone climate control, the panoramic sunroof, alloy wheels, electric ORVM's and a central touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple Car Play and of course, the safety features like 6 airbags and ESP.
If you want alternatives, you can consider the Hyundai Creta, which introduces features like the panoramic sunroof and dual zone climate control at lower priced variants.

I currently own the S-Cross 1.3 diesel and am happy with its performance, stability, and low maintenance. I am considering upgrading to either the Tata Sierra diesel or the new Kia Seltos diesel. Please advise.
We will be driving the new Kia Seltos next week, so stay tuned for the full review. As for the Sierra diesel, it delivers pleasant performance, though the engine is on the noisier side by current class standards.
Where the Sierra really impresses is in ride comfort. The suspension absorbs big potholes with ease, and the SUV also feels surefooted on highway drives. Cost of maintenance remains a question mark for now, but you can expect the Tata Sierra to be more expensive to run than your S-Cross.

I drive a Tata Hexa with 70,000km on the odo. It is mainly used in the city, with a 1000km highway trip every 3 to 6 months. We are a family of three and prefer spacious cars. My previous cars were the Lancer and Safari Dicor. What would you recommend as a Hexa replacement in the next 12 months? My priorities are space, driving dynamics, ride, and handling.
If you are happy with the Tata experience, you will find a great match in the new Tata Sierra. It's a striking-looking SUV that scores for space and comfort. The cabin is large and airy, and the seat comfort is very nice.
We've sampled the turbo-petrol and diesel engines so far and, while both are good, the turbo-petrol might be more suitable for your running. The Sierra also scores on ride comfort and is an enjoyable SUV to drive. As a Hexa owner, you'll also appreciate the Sierra's tough build.
