Design: A Nod To The Past, Eyes On The Future
The Sierra rides on Tata’s latest ARGOS platform. This new architecture is built to house various engine types and comes loaded with contemporary tech and safety features. The design cleverly blends nostalgia with a modern edge. Its tall, boxy shape and huge glass area are a direct tribute to the beloved original model from decades ago.

Performance: Three Engine Choices
Under the bonnet, the Sierra provides three distinct powertrain options:
