Tata
Motors

revealed
the
updated
Sierra
Concept
at
Auto
Expo
2023.
In
this
first
look
review
of
the
Tata
Sierra
Concept,
we
take
a
look
at
the
design
&
features
of
the
updated
SUV
concept
revealed
at
Auto
Expo
2023.

The
Tata
Sierra
Concept
showcased
at
Auto
Expo
is
a
more
production-ready
version
of
the
Sierra
EV
concept
showcased
at
the
previous
edition
of
the
auto
show
in
2020.

Concept
Design
&
Features

Nearly
Ready
For
Production

The
Tata
Sierra
Concept
showcased
at
Auto
Expo
looks
ready
to
hit
the
streets
with
the
new
version
of
the
SUV
now
sporting
a
more
regular
design
set
with
5
doors
and
what
appear
to
be
a
rather
snazzy
set
of
wheels.

At
the
front,
the
Sierra
Concept
from
Auto
Expo
2023
sports
a
lightbar
that
stretches
across
the
width
of
the
front
end
of
the
SUV.
Underneath
the
lightbar
sits
the
Tata
badge
on
a
closed-off
grille.

The
front
bumper
sports
triangular
cutouts
on
each
side
which
are
connected
together.
On
the
upper
section
of
these
cutouts
are
what
appear
to
be
more
lights
which
suggest
that
the
production
car
could
sport
a
more
conventional
split
headlamp
setup.
The
front
skid
plate
features
triangular
extensions
which
play
host
to
rectangular
fog
lamps.

The
sides
of
the
new
Sierra
Concept
sport
squared-off
wheelarches
which
play
host
to
a
set
of
rather
nice-looking
alloys
which
do
look
like
they
could
enter
production.

The
side
profile
of
the
concept
still
looks
like
a
neo-retro
version
of
the
OG
Sierra
but
with
two
doors
on
each
side.
The
thick
B
pillar
looks
brilliant
and
as
does
the
wraparound
glass
area.

At
the
rear,
the
Sierra
sports
a
sculpted
rear
wing
integrated
with
the
roof
and
a
sleek
lightbar
style
fullwidth
taillight
with
the
Sierra
name
embedded
into
it.
Underneath
the
lightbar
sits
the
Tata
badge
and
below
that
can
be
seen
a
properly
large
rear
bash
plate
setup
that
looks
to
be
able
to
handle
the
toughest
of
hits.

Step
inside
the
Sierra
Concept’s
cabin
and
you
get
a
better
picture
of
how
production-ready
the
SUV
is.
The
layered
dashboard
has
a
mix
of
different
materials
and
features
two
large
widescreen
displays
for
the
infotainment
and
the
instrumentation.

Sitting
ahead
of
the
driver’s
display
is
a
chunky
flat-bottomed
steering
wheel
with
capacitive
and
scrollable
controls.
Lower
down
on
the
dashboard
you
can
find
controls
for
the
climate
control
setup
which
also
looks
to
be
a
touchscreen
unit.

The
seats
of
the
Tata
Sierra
Concept
are
large
and
look
to
be
rather
comfortable.
The
concept
vehicle
showcased
at
Auto
Expo
2023
was
a
four-seater
with
the
rear
seats
featuring
some
rather
crazy
large
headrests.
A
version
of
the
Sierra
SUV
with
this
kind
of
layout
is
expected
to
make
it
into
production
but
the
vehicle
is
expected
to
be
mainly
offered
as
a
five-seater
when
it
arrives
next
year.

Sierra
Powertrain
Options

The
Tat
Sierra
shown
off
at
Auto
Expo
2023
was
an
EV.
However,
the
Sierra
is
expected
to
arrive
in
both
EV
&
ICE
guises
next
year.
The
EV
version,
which
will
be
the
flagship
model
based
on
Tata’s
Gen
2
EV
setup
is
expected
to
offer
a
range
of
around
500km
on
a
single
charge.

The
ICE
version
of
the
Sierra
will
sport
the
new
1.5-litre
turbocharged
petrol
engine
that
Tata
Motors
recently
greenlit
and
then
showcased
alongside
a
new
1.2-litre
turbo
petrol
engine
at
Auto
Expo
2023.
The
1.5-litre
engine
is
rated
at
167.6bhp
and
280Nm
and
is
expected
to
be
offered
with
both
manual
and
automatic
transmission
options.


Thoughts
About
The
Tata
Sierra
Concept
From
Auto
Expo
2023

The
Tata
Sierra
Concept
showcased
at
Auto
Expo
2023
gave
us
a
good
look
into
the
next
flagship
vehicle
from
Tata
Motors.
Even
in
this
near-production-ready
guise,
the
Sierra
looks
to
be
a
more
sophisticated
and
luxurious
SUV
than
the
Safari
and
we
expect
it
to
be
another
winner
for
Tata
Motors
when
it
arrives
sometime
next
year.
