Speaking of butch, the Sierra ICE gets short overhangs while the massive wheel arches are filled by the 19-inch alloy wheels. The SUV gets flush-fitting door handles, while the iconic Alpine windows from the original Sierra of the ‘90s have been reimagined as windows for the rear doors and quarter glass. The rear sports an upright windscreen and tailgate for a proper boxy look on the SUV. While the cabin remained under wraps, the three-screen layout on the dashboard was evident in the model showcased.

Tata Sierra ICE: Expected Specifications

Engine options have not been revealed yet but the Tata Sierra ICE will be competing in the midsize SUV segment and is likely to share its powertrains with the Tata Harrier and Safari. Expect to see the 2.0-litre diesel sourced from Fiat, to do duty here as well, while the 1.5-litre Hyperion turbo petrol under development could also make its debut with the SUV.
