It would not be surprising if Indian automaker Tata, which has been very active in recent decades with many outstanding products and concept cars, launched the Sierra in the Indian market.
The Tata Sierra has its own fan base in India. Enthusiasts are increasingly talking about this SUV and what it means for the Indian automotive market. Tata has also taken advantage of this craze by showcasing the new Sierra SUV concept at almost every event.
Tata Serra History
The Tata Sierra was launched in 1991 and is based on the Tata Telcoline pickup truck. The Tata Sierra is the first off-road SUV made by an Indian automobile company. It is a rear-wheel drive SUV with proper 4X4 credentials. The Sierra also features some comforts and innovations not found in other Indian cars. Some of the highlight features of the Tata Sierra include:
- Fixed Alpine Windows
- Diesel turbocharger
- Sound insulation enhances the experience
- Power windows
- air conditioner
- Adjustable steering wheel
- Tachometer
Tata Serra Concept
The concept car of Tata Sierra was first unveiled at Auto EXPO 2020. The car, like the Tata Sierra (1st and 2nd generation), has a fixed panoramic rear window. It also comes with an additional sliding door to the rear seating area, which looks like a lounge. The car will be made on a replaceable ALFA frame. “It is not an official plan yet, but it is not just a show car either,” said interior designer Pitap Bose. A more practical form with a different seating arrangement may be launched in 2022 or 2023.
Tata Serra recent developments
Tata Motors has been going strong in recent years. They have been launching and updating products. The Tata Sierra has been the star product. The Sierra was showcased as an all-electric SUV, but the latest updates and reveals have made us think of the internal combustion engine as well.
Sources said the Sierra could be offered with gasoline and diesel powertrains as well as electric powertrains. The Sierra will ride on an all-new platform and will be able to support all-wheel drive.
The new SUV will shed the original Sierra’s rugged ladder frame. The three-door body style will be replaced with a more traditional five-door layout. The fixed Alpine windows will also be tweaked. The high window line could get a split treatment like the Defender.
FCA’s 2.0L engine will most likely be launched in an ICE version.
What we think of the Tata Sierra
The launch of Sierra will open a door for innovative car designs. However, this has already started with the launch of Tata Curvv series SUV, which is a coupe SUV made by the Indian manufacturer. It will be interesting to see when Tata officially launches Sierra.
