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.

I have been driving a Zest diesel for the past 9 years, and earlier drove a Vista diesel and an Indica diesel. I now want to buy the Sierra. My usage is around 1,500-2,000 km per month, both in the city and on highways. Should I opt for a petrol or diesel version, given my usage? Kindly advise.
Since you have been using diesels for a long time, you are obviously happy with a diesel car’s characteristics of good efficiency, strong torque and are used to the higher noise levels as well.
It would be logical for you to buy the diesel version of the Tata Sierra, which, though a touch noisy by class standards, has enough performance to make city and highway driving easy. We would suggest you opt for the smooth-shifting automatic transmission if your budget allows.

Asked by: Pruthvikon Dec 8, 2025
Is the A-pillar of the newly launched Sierra any different from that of the Nexon and Harrier?
Yes, the Tata Sierra’s A-pillar is completely different from the Nexon’s or the Harrier’s. The Sierra sits on a new platform with unique dimensions and hard points - the structural reference positions used for manufacturing and crash performance.
The Tata Nexon, in contrast, is based on Tata’s older X1 platform, which traces its roots back to the Indica Vista of 2008. So, there’s no structural link between the Sierra and the Nexon.

I am first looking to buy my first car, and yes, I went to the used car market but somehow didn't find any good enough. Now I am looking to buy new only; my preferences are space, practicality, and comfort. I am looking for a compact SUV, like the Venue, but now that the Sierra has been launched, I really like it. I can spend up to 18 lakh. The prices for Sierra are a bit more than what I expected, but still, I am inclined to buy it, and if needed, I can spend a little more. Now I am confused. Should I go for NA/TGDI?
The Tata Sierra is a very desirable choice thanks to its striking design, generous features, and rich, premium-feeling cabin. It’s a car that instantly feels a class above.
The 1.5 NA engine, however, makes only 106hp. While that’s adequate for everyday driving, the problem lies more with the gearboxes it’s paired to — the 6-speed manual and the twin-clutch automatic aren’t the smoothest, and they don’t deliver the effortless power delivery you’re expecting in a car at this price.
The 160hp 1.5 turbo-petrol, on the other hand, is a much stronger, far smoother unit. Crucially, it’s paired with a 6-speed torque-converter automatic, and this combination is among the smoothest and most refined in the segment. It genuinely enhances the Sierra’s premium positioning.
Yes, the TGDi versions are priced higher, but Tata is offering a long feature list to justify the premium. Given your budget flexibility and your preference for comfort and practicality, we feel it’s worth stretching for the turbo-petrol. It suits the Sierra’s character far better and will make ownership more satisfying in the long run.

Asked by: Thakoron Dec 6, 2025
Tata has introduced a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine with the new Sierra. Will Tata replace their existing 3-cylinder petrol engines in the Punch, Altroz, and Nexon with this 4-cylinder NA petrol engine?
The Punch, Altroz and Nexon benefit from a lower tax slab since they fulfil two key requirements - their length is less than 4 meters, and their petrol engine capacity is less than 1200cc.
Even if one of the criteria is not fulfilled, these cars will fall under a higher tax bracket, resulting in a higher price. So, to answer your question, it is highly unlikely that the company will introduce Tata Sierra's 1.5L petrol in these compact cars.
