What owners and experts like about the Tata Sierra

Rear seat space

Strongly positivebased on 8 reviews

“The Sierra also has an advantage thanks to the segment-best wheelbase. You have plenty of knee room. Leg room is not an issue at all. But of course, if you want to stretch a bit more, you have the boss mode manual adjust.”

Seat comfort

Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews

“The seats themselves very very comfy. We've spent well the good part of the day really driving around and it feels nice and comfy. They're a little broad for my frame... but anyone broader will fit nice and snug.”

Highway stability

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“हाई स्पीड पर भी गाड़ी स्टेबल फील करती है और कॉन्फिडेंस मेंटेन रहता है -- feels stable even at high speed, maintaining driver confidence.”

ADAS driver assistance

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“If I have it in D and I try to drive off, it's not going to let me do that... there is an alert that says fasten your seat belts to drive away. Really nice thing. I wish Tata did it for all the seats.”

Boot space

Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews

“बूट में लाइट है व्हिच इज मस्ट क्योंकि बहुत ही डीप इसका बूट है, काफी अच्छी स्पेस है उसमें -- the boot is very deep with a lot of usable space, and has its own boot light (a must given how deep it is).”

Handling

Generally positivebased on 12 reviews

“The bigger 19-in wheels are very good in terms of contact patch. You have a good amount of grip as well. And even though they are bigger in size, which makes the Sierra slightly taller, there's not much in terms of body roll.”

Where the Tata Sierra falls short

Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.

Fit & finish

Strongly negativebased on 17 reviews

“This version doesn't get the wireless charging pad, but like the version with the wireless charging pad, the base of this area is hard and smooth plastic, and as a result, your phone will be moving around when you are on the move.”

Dashboard layout

Generally negativebased on 19 reviews

“The 10.25 in digital dials are nicely done. They're crisp in their readout, but I would have liked the fonts to be slightly larger and more customization. I feel Tata has sort of held back with what they could have done with this screen.”

Highway overtaking

Generally negativebased on 10 reviews

“Power delivery is strong and linear. It's not punchy. Doesn't have that mid-range punch... not really that turbo kick... those of you looking for that peppy, punchy kind of SUV feel, you won't find that here.”

Connected car features

Generally negativebased on 10 reviews

“That third passenger screen... it just has no use, and that money could have been better spent somewhere else... it's a cool screen, don't get me wrong. It's very high resolution... that just feels unnecessary.”
