Ahead of the commencement of deliveries from 15th January, production is in full swing at Tata’s plant in Sanand, Gujarat. All-new Sierra has four broad trim levels – Smart+, Pure, Adventure and Accomplished. Here, we take a closer look at the Sierra Pure second-base variant and its features with a detailed walkaround video.
Sierra Pure Petrol MT second-base variant – Design and features
All-new Sierra’s striking presence will be almost fully accessible to buyers opting for the second-base Pure variant. Key highlights include top-mounted sleek LED DRLs with integrated turn indicators and a full-width LED light strip. The SUV has sharp Bi-LED projector headlamps, SIERRA badging and rugged bumper design.
However, some functional items such as fog lamps, front radar (for ADAS) and front parking sensors are missing. These are available with the higher variants of the new Sierra. Side profile has squared wheel arches, body cladding in piano black finish, blacked-out A pillars and thick body-coloured B-pillars.
The SUV gets blacked-out ORVMs with integrated turn indicators, flush door handles with illumination and sporty door trims. The ORVMs are electrically adjustable and come with autofold function. Pure variant does not get alloy wheels. But the dual-tone full wheel covers ensure a premium and sporty look for the SUV.
Sierra Pure variant uses R17 steel wheels, wrapped in 215/65 Goodyear tyres. SIERRA badging in metallic finish can be seen on the front doors. The Pure variant does not get the signature full glass roof at the rear. Instead, the glossy black finish on the roof helps achieve a similar look and feel.
For panoramic sunroof, buyers will need to choose the Pure+ or above variants. Key features at the rear include a shark fin antenna, SIERRA badging, sharp tail lamps in connected format, parking sensors and electric tailgate release. Sierra Pure variant misses out on key features such as rear wiper and defogger.
Boot space is best-in-class at 622 litres. It has been achieved by using an underbody setup for storing the spare tyre, which is the same size as the regular tyres.
