FAQs
Is Tata Sierra really worth buying at ₹20 lakh+ pricing?
It depends on what you value.
Tata Sierra offers strong safety, ADAS Level 2+, and solid build quality.
But once prices cross ₹20 lakh ex-showroom, buyers will compare it directly with Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, and even entry-level premium SUVs.
If safety and long-term ownership matter more than quick performance, CR still makes sense.
What real mileage can I expect from Tata Sierra in daily use?
Expect 12–14 km/l, not 29.9 km/l.
The 29.9 km/l figure came from a controlled track test.
In city traffic and highways, real-world mileage will stay around 12–14 km/l, which is normal for a 1.5L turbo petrol SUV.
This is an important reality check in weekly auto updates.
Tata Sierra vs Kia Seltos: which is better for Indian roads?
Tata Sierra feels safer, Seltos feels quicker.
Tata Sierra gives better safety tech, a torque converter gearbox, and strong build.
Kia Seltos offers a smoother 7-speed DCT and quicker acceleration.
Your choice depends on whether you prefer comfort and safety or sporty driving.
Are hydrogen fuel cell cars coming to India anytime soon?
Not soon, but the foundation is ready.
The government is serious about hydrogen under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
Fuel cell cars offer fast refueling (5 minutes) and long range (650 km).
But public availability will take time due to infrastructure needs.
Still, this is one of the most important future trends highlighted in weekly auto updates.
Which upcoming launches should buyers wait for?
A few are worth watching.
New Kia Seltos – Bigger, stronger, safer
MG Hector facelift – Fresh design, updated appeal
Mahindra XV7 XO – Family SUV with unknown features
Nissan 7-seater MPV – Budget-friendly family option
If you’re not in a hurry, waiting a few weeks could give you better choices.

Why do weekly auto updates matter right now?
Because buying decisions are getting harder.
Prices are rising. Tech is changing fast. New fuels are entering the scene.
These weekly auto updates help buyers avoid surprises and make smarter choices.
Moving on.
What’s the latest Tata Sierra pricing update?
Prices are out for most variants, but top trims will cross ₹20 lakh.
Tata has revealed Sierra prices up to the Adventure Plus variant.
Tata Sierra Variant-Wise Price (Ex-Showroom)
| Variant | Fuel | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Petrol | ₹11.49 lakh |
| Adventure Plus | Petrol | ₹17.99 lakh |
| Adventure Plus | Diesel | ₹18.49 lakh |
Higher trims like Accomplish and Accomplish Plus are still pending.
Expect prices above ₹20 lakh, with on-road costs touching ₹25–26 lakh in big cities.
This makes Tata Sierra one of the most premium offerings in its segment — and a big talking point in weekly auto updates.
Is Tata Sierra mileage really 29.9 km/l?
On paper, yes. In real life, no.
Tata tested the CR for 800 km in 12 hours on a track.
Claimed mileage: 29.9 km/l from the new 1.5L turbo petrol “Hyper Ryan” engine.
Mileage Reality Check
| Condition | Mileage |
|---|---|
| Claimed (Track) | 29.9 km/l |
| ARAI | 18–19 km/l |
| Real World | 12–14 km/l |
That real-world figure is normal. Similar to EcoSport and Creta petrols.
So yes, impressive engineering — but don’t expect miracles.
Tata Sierra vs Kia Seltos: who has the edge?
Tata wins on features, Kia wins on gearbox feel.
Engine & Gearbox Comparison
| Spec | Tata CR | Kia Seltos |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5L Turbo Petrol | 1.5L Turbo Petrol |
| Power | ~160 PS | 160 PS |
| Torque | ~253 Nm | 253 Nm |
| Gearbox | 6-speed Torque Converter | 7-speed DCT |
Tata offers smoother city driving.
Seltos feels quicker with faster shifts.
This rivalry is heating up and dominating weekly auto updates. If you’re also tracking Kia’s upcoming premium moves, read our Kia Syroz review to see how the brand is planning its next big step.
Does Tata really offer strong resale value?
Yes, and it’s improving.
A real example shared this week — a Hyundai Creta sold after 60,000 km at a strong price, and the owner upgraded to a Tata Harrier EV.
Tata’s brand image has changed.
Better build. Better safety. Better long-term trust.
That matters for resale.
What’s new in the next-gen Kia Seltos?
Bigger, stronger, and safer.
The new Seltos revealed globally on December 10 gets:
- High-strength steel body
- Updated K3 platform
- +90 mm length
- +80 mm wheelbase
- +30 mm width
Kia is clearly fixing past complaints about build quality.
India launch is expected early January.
Are hydrogen fuel cell cars the real future?
They might solve EV’s biggest problems.
A hydrogen fuel cell car was showcased in Parliament by Union Minister Prahlad Joshi.
How Hydrogen Fuel Cell Works
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Battery | No |
| Fuel | Hydrogen |
| Emission | Only water |
| Refuel Time | ~5 minutes |
| Range | ~650 km |
The Government is backing this under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, with testing support from research institutes.
This is one of the most important long-term stories in weekly auto updates. But if you’re considering an electric SUV you can buy sooner, our Mahindra XUV 9e Electric review explains what EV ownership looks like today.

Budget families should pay attention.

Expected Pricing

If Nissan adds safety and features, this could be a smart family buy.
