Tata Motors has officially brought back its iconic Sierra in an all-new avatar and while the spec sheet is highly impressive, what’s gathering the most attention is its aggressive pricing. The 2025 Tata Sierra starts at an introductory price of Rs 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom), which makes it quite tempting for those looking to get into the mid-range SUV segment and need a cool new alternative to the Hyundai Creta.Â
Since the starting price has gathered a lot of headlines, many potential buyers are interested in the base Smart+ variant, which is currently priced at Rs 11.49 lakh ex-showroom. As expected, the base variant will lose out on most of the bells and whistles that Tata Motors has been showing in the advertisement videos and press releases. However, the engineers at Tata Motors have figured out ways to offer enough modern amenities while ensuring the value-for-money proposition with the Sierra.
Hence, if you have been planning to upgrade to a mid-size SUV without spending a fortune on the vehicle, and the Sierra ends up being your fancy, this is what you need to know about it prior to making the changes.
