Tata Motors is looking beyond the freshly launched Sierra and is already studying additional body styles that could expand the SUV into a family of models. With prices for the five-seat Sierra starting at Rs 11.49 lakh (introductory), the company now has room to explore variants that sit above it without overlapping with the Harrier, Safari or the Curvv.
- Tata Sierra family to expand beyond the 5-seat model.
- 7-seat, AWD-focused and EV versions feasible on Argos platform.
- Final decision depends on market response to the Sierra.
7-seat Tata Sierra under evaluation
Tata eyes segment expansion with a longer, three-row Sierra
With the standard Sierra now on sale, Tata is evaluating a longer-wheelbase, three-row version. Executives say any extension of the Sierra line-up must deliver incremental volume and maintain clear spacing from the Harrier and Safari. A seven-seater fits this requirement and would allow Tata to enter a growing segment.
A three-row Sierra would slot above the current model but below full-size D-segment SUVs.
Tata Sierra AWD and EV also on the table
Sierra EV with AWD launch expected in 2026
Apart from a 7-seat model, Tata is also developing a more rugged, AWD Sierra aimed at buyers who want mild off-road capability without compromising on practicality. The brand revealed that all-wheel drive is in development for both ICE and EV variants.
Speaking to Autocar India, Tata Motors’s chief commercial officer, Vivek Srivatsa, confirmed a launch for the ICE AWD version in early 2027. The Argos (All-terrain Ready, Omni-Energy and Geometry Scalable Architecture) architecture has been developed to support petrol, turbo-petrol and diesel engines, and Tata has confirmed that Sierra EV is scheduled for next year.
Argos platform supports multiple body styles
New architecture gives Tata room to grow the Sierra line-up
Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director and CEO of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd, describes Argos as “the highest-scale programme executed by Tata Motors”, involving a new platform, new powertrain family, new top-hat and updated manufacturing systems.
Argos supports AWD hardware, multiple wheelbase options and different interior layouts. This flexibility makes a 7-seat Sierra, an AWD version and a future full-electric variant technically feasible without major re-engineering. Tata will take a final call on these models once early market performance of the Sierra stabilizes.
