The latest turbo-petrol version of Tata Sierra turned heads after hitting a top speed of 222 km/h at the NATRAX proving track in Indore — making it officially the fastest Sierra yet.  That’s not just a headline number. It shows that Tata hasn’t just given Sierra a bold, retro-SUV look — they’ve packed real performance under the hood. For someone cruising on expressways, this gives confidence during overtakes or long-distance drives. For daily city drives? Maybe you won’t hit 222, but you’ll definitely feel the extra punch compared to the regular models.

What’s under the hood — Engine & performance goodies

Sierra now offers a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine that churns out about 160 bhp and 255 Nm of torque, paired to a 6-speed automatic gearbox. That’s a solid step up from the base naturally aspirated petrol (106 hp / 145 Nm) and gives the car enough grunt for quick acceleration. In real-world tests, this turbo-petrol version hits 0–100 km/h in roughly 10.1 seconds. So you’re not just paying for top-end features — you are getting performance that’s genuinely on par with many sportier SUVs.

Premium feel inside — Features that matter

Stepping inside Sierra’s top trims feels more premium than “SUV under 20 lakh” usually do. It comes with a triple-screen setup (two large touchscreens plus a digital instrument cluster), a 12-speaker JBL sound system, ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, flush door handles, and 19-inch alloy wheels. The boot itself has a generous 622-litre capacity — roomy enough for weekend getaways or family trips. In short: Sierra brings a mix of rugged SUV energy with some really modern comfort touches.

Price & trims — Which variants get what

The turbo-petrol engine is offered only on the higher trims — Adventure+, Accomplished, and Accomplished+, with prices beginning at ₹ 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom). For those choosing base or mid-level variants, the older 1.5-litre NA-petrol or diesel engines remain. So if you want the turbo power and top-end kit, you’ll need to go for the premium trims.

The boot provides 622 litres of space — quite roomy for its class — making it suitable for family trips or weekend bags.
