Tata Sierra New vs Old Spec Comparison: What's Different?

Indian automaker, Tata Motors recently reintroduced the Sierra in India at an introductory price of Rs 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The Sierra was an old nameplate which carried a lot of weight considering it was one of the company’s first blue-blooded off-road capable vehicles. The Sierra was then succeeded by the Sumo and Safari, cementing Tata’s legacy as an SUV maker in India. However, the old Sierra and the new were made in two different eras. While the older Sierra was built at a time where competition was negligible, the new Sierra has been built with the sole intention of taking over the compact SUV space.

Here’s how the older Tata Sierra vs newer Tata Sierra would fare against each other:
