Ratan Tata: When Sierra was introduced thirty years ago, Ratan Tata took control of the organisation as Chairman of Tata Sons. Sierra is obviously very important to the business. In addition, it was well-liked by enthusiasts due to its strong performance and 4X4 option. Sierra Concept was displayed in EV format at the 2023 Auto Expo. It’s anticipated that it will debut in late 2024 or early 2025. There should also be a petrol version available. In contrast, the initial Tata Sierra was exclusively available with a diesel engine.

Ratan Tata and Sierra
Martin Uhlarik, VP Head of Global Design at Tata Motors, provided information about the creation of the Sierra Concept in an interview. The fact that Ratan Tata requested the retention of the strong B-pillar and the wrap-around rear window is one intriguing narrative. This was not simply a casual remark; it actually refers to some of the original Sierra’s most important design features.
His suggestions for Sierra Concept were crucial in capturing the actual spirit of the first Sierra. It has enabled the design team to combine cutting-edge styles with distinguishing qualities that helped the SUV become successful three decades earlier.
Ratan Tata visited the design studio and offered his suggestions. The idea had appealed to him, and he was sure that its new avatar would be a success. He had, however, asked the design group particularly to keep the wrap-around glass and avoid making the B-pillar too narrow. Ratan Tata’s suggestions were spot on, as the Sierra Concept appears to be very extraordinary.

Safari’s successful debut has greatly increased faith in the potential of reviving other outdated versions, such as Sierra. The Tata design team concentrated on preserving the fundamental qualities of the original Sierra while also producing a contemporary profile that would appeal to the young audience. Full-width LED DRLs split LED headlights, robust body cladding, and a panoramic sunroof are a few of the features.
The new Sierra Concept is a true 5-door lifestyle SUV as opposed to the previous Sierra, which was a 3-door SUV. The Sierra Concept has typical roll-up/roll-down windows, as opposed to the original’s fixed rear windows. The wraparound appearance is still present since a black plastic finish was used to create it. It seamlessly joins the expansive glass sunroof, giving the vehicle the recognisable wraparound window appearance and feel. There is a chance that the Sierra Concept will have a diesel powertrain in addition to petrol and electric drivetrains. It can make use of the diesel engine that the Harrier and Safari are currently using.
