Okay, so Tata Sierra is back and people are talking about it everywhere. Honestly, it feels weird seeing this old favorite on Indian roads again. Nostalgia hits hard. And yes, it’s modern now, but still has that classic vibe. I’ve been around cars for over 10 years, so here’s my take straight from the streets
Reason 1: Feels Like a Real SUV
First thing you notice about Tata Sierra is the feel. Not those tiny SUVs pretending to be tough. I drove it last month near Lonavala and man, the suspension just soaks everything. Bumps, potholes, doesn’t matter. Feels solid. Reminded me of my old Safari days cruising through monsoon roads. That feeling you don’t get with every SUV Tata Sierra gives it
Reason 2: Design That Stands Out
Look at Tata Sierra. Bold lines, retro yet modern enough. I remember walking into a dealer in Pune and seeing a guy just staring at it. That attention? Rare. The cabin feels nice too. Soft panels, decent touchscreen. Not too much tech thrown in randomly. Tata Sierra actually feels thought out. It’s not just hype
Reason 3: Practical Power
The engine is tuned well. Tata Sierra is made for both city and highway drives. I remember an older diesel model choking in Rajasthan heat. But this one handles long trips fine. Fuel efficiency is okay and it’s comfortable for family road trips. Not a rocket. But you don’t need a rocket to go to Goa Tata Sierra knows it
Reason 1 Not to Buy: Price
Tata Sierra isn’t cheap. Some features feel like extra cost without much use. If your budget is tight, think twice. Last year a friend splurged on a Tata SUV and regretted some extras. Tata Sierra can sting a bit if you are counting every rupee
Reason 2 Not to Buy: Tech Glitches
Infotainment system can act up. I was trying it out and it froze for a couple of minutes. Not a big deal maybe, but annoying if you expect everything to work perfectly. I had a similar issue with an older EV last year. Dealer said a software update will fix it. But still Tata Sierra tech isn’t flawless yet
All in all Tata Sierra is great if you love driving, want attention, and don’t mind minor hiccups. But test it a couple of times before paying. The smile on my neighbor’s face after his first Tata Sierra ride says it all. You can’t fake that joy Tata Sierra brings
