Tata Sierra launch 2025 With ICE & EV Versions Later in 2025
The Tata Sierra nameplate is making a comeback. After a long break, the Sierra is set to reappear in both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV) forms before the year ends. This article covers the likely launch timeline, design direction, expected powertrains, pricing indications, and what the model’s return means for SUV buyers in India.
Launch Timing & Rollout Strategy
Insider updates indicate two closely scheduled unveilings: an initial reveal for the ICE models in late 2025 followed by the EV variant a few weeks later. The plan appears designed to capture immediate consumer interest with traditional powertrains while quickly following up with the electric offering to satisfy EV buyers and media attention.
Design & Visual Language
The new Sierra blends retro cues with contemporary design language. It retains a boxy silhouette and a wraparound rear glazing motif that nod to the original model, while integrating modern touches for a premium, up-to-date look.
Exterior Highlights
- Boxy stance with muscular wheel arches and body cladding.
- Y-shaped LED headlamps and taillamps, with a full-width light element on higher trims.
- Flush door handles, short overhangs and distinct wheel designs for ICE and EV versions.
Interior & Tech
The EV is expected to emphasize digital luxury, possibly featuring a three-screen layout (infotainment, instrument cluster, and a co-occupant display). The ICE variant will likely get a dual-screen arrangement with all modern creature comforts: panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, ambient lighting and advanced driver assistance features across higher trims.
Powertrain Options & Range Expectations
ICE Variant
- Expected engine options include a 2.0-litre diesel and a new 1.5-litre turbo petrol.
- Transmission choices likely: 6-speed manual and automatic variants.
- The focus for ICE models will be on dependable real-world performance and towing/flexibility for long-distance driving.
EV Variant
- Built on a proven electric platform with reported battery options such as 65 kWh and 75 kWh.
- Estimated real-world driving range: around 450–500 km per charge for higher-capacity packs.
- EV cabins will be more digital, with premium seats and possibly unique trim levels to separate it visually from the ICE sibling.
Pricing & Market Positioning
Early estimates put the ICE Sierra in a mid-size SUV price bracket, while the EV will carry a premium due to battery costs. Competitive pricing that balances features, range and after-sales support will determine Sierra’s ability to steal market share from established rivals.
Implications for Indian SUV Market
Reviving an iconic name gives the model emotional pull among buyers and enthusiasts. By launching both ICE and EV versions in quick succession, the manufacturer aims to cover broad buyer preferences and make a statement about its future product strategy. Ultimately, success will hinge on pricing, real-world EV range, feature execution and the strength of the ownership ecosystem.

Prospective buyers should watch the official launch announcements closely to confirm final specifications and pricing.
