This is the field report on the new Tata Sierra. Forget the old rules, let’s be real—this thing is playing an entirely different game.
The big takeaway? It’s priced like a mid-size SUV, but sized like a segment above it. Tata just dropped a bomb on the Creta, Seltos, and the others.
Tata Sierra: Not a Creta Rival, It’s a Size Bully
The legend is back, sure, that old-school Sierra nameplate. But here’s the kicker: they didn’t just bring back the name. They brought back the presence, or nothing.

It starts at ₹11.49 lakh (ex-showroom).1 That price point is dead on with the Creta and Seltos crowd. But the dimensions? That’s where things get messy. Tata basically built an SUV that thinks it’s a Harrier or an MG Hector, then squeezed it into the mid-size segment.
It’s clear: they went beyond the conventional proportions.
The Numbers Talk (It’s Not Even Close)
| Dimension | Tata Sierra | Hyundai Creta | Kia Seltos | Skoda Kushaq |
| Length | 4,340 mm | 4,330 mm | 4,365 mm | 4,225 mm |
| Width (Widest!) | 1,841 mm | 1,790 mm | 1,800 mm | 1,760 mm |
| Height (Tallest!) | 1,715 mm | 1,635 mm | 1,645 mm | 1,612 mm |
| Wheelbase (Longest!) | 2,730 mm | 2,610 mm | 2,610 mm | 2,651 mm |

The Verdict on Dimensions
Look at the chart. The Seltos is marginally longer, but that’s it.
The Sierra is the widest, which means better shoulder room for three people in the back.2 It’s the tallest, giving it that proper, dominant SUV stance and heaps of headroom. The wheelbase at 2,730 mm is genuinely segment-leading—that translates directly into better rear legroom.3
And boot space? 622 litres. That’s not C-segment SUV space; that’s full-size SUV luggage capacity. The competitors are struggling down in the 433-litre range.
In a nutshell, you buy a Sierra for a Creta price, but you get a vehicle with the road presence and interior volume of something bigger. That’s a strong value proposition. A massive one, actually.
