In this article we will talk about the fact that this desi SUV can be a perfect option for the people in the present times. Let us know about the shortcomings and advantages of Tata Sierra.

Who is the perfect fit?

Tata Sierra is perfect for families who want a comfortable, spacious and premium SUV. If you are a family of 4-5 people, commute daily in the city and want to go on occasional highway or light off-road trips, the Sierra will suit your needs. Three adults can sit comfortably on the rear seat. Best in segment legroom, shoulder space and thigh support. The large boot of 622 liters is perfect for family long tours.

This is a great option for those who give priority to safety. With a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, it is equipped with 6 standard airbags, ESP and Level-2 ADAS features in the top variants. The premium interiors, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone AC and triple screen setup will attract professionals and upper-middle class families who want luxury with value for money.

Engine and Driving

There are three engine options available in it. Customers can buy Tata Sierra with 1.5L NA petrol (economical), 1.5L turbo petrol (powerful and refined) and 1.5L turbo diesel (torquey, best for highways) engines. Automatic transmission comes with all. The balance of ride quality and handling is considered to be the best in the segment. This is perfect for a comfortable yet sporty feel. Easy maneuvering in the city and stability on the highway are both good. Before buying, be aware of some shortcomings-

• Some reviews complain about diesel engine noise and body roll.
• The base variant has less features, so choose Pure or Adventure variant.
• Initial batches may have fit-finish or some minor niggles.
• The price is a bit aggressive, but competitive considering the features and space.

Who should avoid?

If you just want a budget SUV (₹10-12 lakh) with limited features, or are looking for sporty performance and AWD, then you would be better off looking at Creta/Seltos or other options. It is also not the best for a pure off-roader. Apart from this, it is also not going to be a good option for a big family.

Final Verdict: Tata Sierra is the perfect choice for those who want style, space, safety and a premium experience all in one, without spending too much. Family use, safety-conscious buyers and those who like the iconic look should definitely consider it. Take a test drive, choose the variant and engine as per your requirement. Overall, this is a solid package from Tata.
