While offering a comprehensive range of premium features, Tata Sierra is competitively priced across all trim levels
At the time of Sierra’s launch, Tata had revealed only the starting price of the SUV at Rs 11.49 lakh (Smart+ trim). Tata has now revealed the prices for the Pure, Pure+, Adventure and Adventure+ trims. However, pricing of the top-spec Accomplished and Accomplished+ trims is yet to be revealed.
