Leaked interior images of the upcoming Tata Sierra SUV showcase a stunning triple-screen dashboard layout, marking a significant departure from the dual-screen concept previously shown.
You know how we’ve all been waiting for the Sierra to make its comeback? Well, these fresh spy shots have just dropped and honestly, they’re making us rethink everything we thought we knew about Tata’s upcoming SUV. The triple-screen setup is real, folks – and it’s looking absolutely mental in the best possible way. With both electric and ICE variants confirmed to arrive before this year’s Diwali festivities, the Sierra is clearly gunning for the Creta and Seltos crown.
Design Evolution From Concept to Reality
Look, we’ve seen plenty of concepts that promise the moon and deliver… well, let’s just say something far less celestial. But the Sierra? It’s actually staying true to its roots while embracing the future. The production version has ditched the dual-screen concept setup for this triple-screen madness that honestly feels more like something you’d find in a Mercedes EQS than a mid-size Indian SUV.
Those spy shots reveal the familiar Sierra DNA we’ve been craving – the high-mounted bonnet that gives it that commanding presence, those vertically-split headlamps that scream modern Tata, and yes, those iconic alpine windows that made the original ’90s Sierra such a head-turner. Though word on the street is that the B-pillar window kink might not make the cut. Bit of a bummer for us nostalgic types, but hey, practicality often wins over pure emotion in production cars.
Interior Technology Takes Center Stage
Now this is where things get properly exciting. That triple-screen layout isn’t just eye candy – each display has a job to do. One’s handling your music and navigation, another’s your digital speedo and trip computer, while the third… well, that could be managing everything from climate control to passenger entertainment. Imagine having your own personal IMAX experience during those long Mumbai-Pune highway stretches!
The leaked images also show off an illuminated Tata logo on what looks like a completely redesigned four-spoke steering wheel. There’s ambient lighting that’ll probably cycle through more colors than a Holi celebration, auto-dimming IRVM (finally!), and what appears to be a premium sunglass holder. The dashboard itself has this layered approach with different textures – it’s like Tata’s interior designers finally got the memo that cabins can be both functional and beautiful.

Features and Equipment
Tata’s clearly not messing around with the feature list. They’re borrowing heavily from the Harrier EV playbook, which means we’re looking at a massive 14.53-inch Samsung Neo QLED display (that’s bigger than most laptops!), a 10.25-inch digital cluster, and a JBL sound system with Dolby Atmos. Because apparently, we all need cinema-quality audio for our daily grocery runs.
The expected goodies read like a wish list:
- 540-degree camera view (because parallel parking shouldn’t be a contact sport)
- Ventilated and powered front seats (your back will thank you)
- Panoramic sunroof (for those dramatic Instagram shots)
- Level 2 ADAS with adaptive cruise control (highway driving just got easier)
- Built-in dashcam (finally, evidence for those “it wasn’t my fault” moments)
- OTA updates (your car will literally get smarter over time)
- V2L and V2V functionality on EV variants (turn your car into a mobile power bank)
There’s also talk of both 5-seat and 4-seat configurations. The 4-seater variant with ottoman-equipped rear seats sounds like business class travel, but for your daily office commute. Fancy stuff!
Engine Options and Performance
The ICE variants are getting two engine options that should satisfy most driving preferences. There’s a new 1.5-litre T-GDi turbo-petrol pushing out 170 PS and 280 Nm – perfect for those quick overtakes on the expressway. Then there’s the tried-and-tested 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel from the Harrier/Safari family, delivering 170 PS and a healthy 350 Nm of torque. Both will come with manual and automatic options because choice is good, right?
The Sierra EV is expected to share its battery tech with the Harrier EV – we’re talking 65kWh and 75kWh options. There’s even whispers of a dual-motor AWD setup on higher trims. Imagine having all-wheel-drive in a Tata SUV! It’s only the second model after the Harrier EV to offer this, so it’s kind of a big deal.
Safety and ADAS
Safety kit includes the usual suspects – up to 7 airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control – but the real star is the Level 2 ADAS suite. We’re talking adaptive cruise control that’ll maintain distance from the car ahead, lane keep assist for those moments when your attention wanders, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring. Features that were once the exclusive domain of German luxury cars are now trickling down to mainstream Indian SUVs. What a time to be alive!
Pricing and Launch Timeline
Here’s what we know: the Sierra EV launches first, likely around this year’s festive season before Diwali. The ICE variants will follow by year-end or early 2026. Price-wise, we’re looking at Rs 12-20 lakh for the petrol and diesel variants, while the electric version could command Rs 22-28 lakh.
It’ll be going head-to-head with the usual suspects – Creta, Seltos, Grand Vitara, and Hyryder. But with its tech-heavy approach and that nostalgic Sierra badge, it might just carve out its own little corner in this incredibly competitive segment. Sometimes, being different is exactly what the market needs.
