The Tata Punch facelift has scored a five-star rating in the Bharat NCAP crash test, giving buyers another strong reason to look at the compact SUV. Safety has become a major talking point in this segment, and the Punch continues to stay in focus for the right reasons. In the latest tests, the model secured 30.58 points out of 32 for adult occupant protection and 45 points out of 49 for child occupant protection. Bharat NCAP carried out a full set of impact tests to check how the car performs in everyday crash situations. With this result, the Punch facelift now sits among the safer options available in its price range.

In the frontal offset deformable barrier test, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/upcoming-tata-cars/">Tata</a> Punch facelift scored 14.71 points out of 16. This test mainly checks how the front structure and restraints protect occupants during a head-on impact. The side movable deformable barrier test saw the car score 15.87 points out of 16. Bharat NCAP also conducted the side pole impact assessment, where the Punch met all protection requirements under the current protocol.

The Punch facelift achieved a full 24 out of 24 points in dynamic crash tests using child dummies. It also scored 12 out of 12 points for child restraint system installation. This confirms that approved child seats fit correctly in the car, which is an important factor for families looking at compact SUVs.

When a brand name carries the weight of nostalgia, the challenge isn’t simply to revive it; it is to redefine it, re-arm it with purpose and modernise its packaging. With the all-new Sierra, Tata Motors didn’t just bring back an icon from the 1990s; it catapulted it into the modern SUV arena with a bold design language, cutting-edge tech, and a package that aims squarely at segment heavyweights like the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Kia Seltos and the newly-launched Mahindra XUV 7XO.

 
 
 
 
<h2>Tata Sierra Exterior Design &amp; Road Presence</h2>

There’s a distinct pull the moment you first lay eyes on the new Sierra. Its boxy silhouette makes for a bold stance, giving it presence in a segment where most rivals look homogenised. The design pays homage of sorts to the original, with hints of the classic upright stance and signature rear Alpine windows. 
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Tata-Sierra_-Motion2-1768309091444.webp" alt="Tata Sierra_ Motion2.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 The front fascia is futuristic, ultra-slim LED headlights sit above a bold grille, while the lightsaber LED DRLs and connected rear LED bar lend a distinctive lighting signature. The new 19-inch alloy wheels and roof rails add a rugged flavour. It’s among the tallest, widest and longest in its class, translating into a commanding road presence and generous interior space.

<h2>Tata Sierra Interior, Space &amp; Comfort</h2>

Stepping inside the Sierra signals a departure from the regular Tata interiors. There’s a sense of occasion, with premium materials and thoughtful execution. The highlight is undoubtedly the triple-screen setup on higher trims, a 12.3-inch central touchscreen flanked by a 10.25-inch digital cluster and a 12.3-inch passenger display. The screens offer a crisp, intuitive interface, and Tata has added features like wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Tata also lets you connect the passenger screen separately via wireless headphones, independent of the central infotainment screen.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Tata-Sierra_View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1768309065858.webp" alt="Tata Sierra_View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 The steering wheel is borrowed from Tata’s other new-age cars and feels right at home in the Sierra as well, complete with an illuminated centre logo. Although I am still not a big fan of gloss-black finishes on the steering, which are tough to maintain and prone to scratches. The seats are spacious and supportive, with manually extendable under-thigh support up front and a reclining rear bench that comfortably accommodates three adults. The passenger sitting on the rear-left side also benefits from ‘Boss Mode’, which allows them to move the front seat with ease. The light-coloured dual-tone upholstery will be a pain to keep clean over the years. Thoughtful touches like rear window blinds, dedicated AC vents, and multiple USB chargers reinforce the Sierra’s family-centric design. With 450 litres of luggage space, and up to 1,250 litres with the rear seats folded, luggage capacity is generous and practical.

 
 
 
 


<h2>Tata Sierra Features, Technology &amp; Safety</h2>

Tata has clearly thrown in a laundry list of features in the Sierra. The top-spec variant ticks off a long checklist that includes a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, wireless phone charging, a 12-speaker JBL system with Dolby Atmos that delivers a great aural experience, and Level 2 ADAS tech. 
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Tata-Sierra_Sunroof-top-1768309108874.webp" alt="Tata Sierra_Sunroof-top.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 While official crash test ratings are awaited, Tata says the Sierra is engineered with future safety norms in mind, which means it is gunning for a 5-star BNCAP rating.

 
 
 
 
<h2>Tata Sierra Engine Options &amp; Performance Review</h2>

The Sierra’s engine lineup includes a new 1.5-litre Hyperion turbo-petrol engine along with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated unit and a 1.5-litre diesel. I drove the turbo-petrol variant along with the diesel, and between the two, it is an easy choice. It is, of course, the Hyperion turbo-petrol that offers good refinement, strong acceleration, and decent tractability. The lag is nearly non-existent, and the 6-speed Aisin automatic gearbox does a decent job of holding on to the gears as you tap on the throttle for an overtake.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Tata-Sierra_Motion-1768309037678.webp" alt="Tata Sierra_Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 

Coming to the diesel, it feels significantly more lethargic than the turbo-petrol and is noisier, too. Surprisingly, the diesel engine lacks that typical mid-range dollop of grunt that you would want from, well, a diesel engine. Acceleration is slower, too, and you feel near-constant vibrations from the engine at all times. It will likely be the more frugal option, but if performance is what you seek, then the turbo-petrol is what you should consider.

 
 
 
 
<h2>Tata Sierra Ride Quality, Handling &amp; Off-Road Ability</h2>

The Sierra’s chassis strikes a supple balance. Tata’s engineers have dialled in a suspension setup that soaks up broken urban roads with composure yet doesn’t feel floaty on open stretches. Frequency-dependent dampers help tame body movement and reinforce confidence on twisty roads.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Tata-Sierra_-Rear-Three-Quarter-1768309079720.webp" alt="Tata Sierra_ Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 While steering feedback isn’t razor-sharp, it’s predictable and feels reassuring at speed. A ground clearance of 205mm keeps scrubs at bay on rougher terrain, and the Sierra even tackled light off-road sections with confidence.

<h2>Tata Sierra Price, Variants &amp; Value Proposition</h2>

The Sierra’s pricing strategy is premium rather than being disruptive. The prices start at Rs 11.49 lakh and go up to Rs 21.29 lakh. The diesel variants start at Rs 12.99 lakh, and the turbo-petrol variants are priced from Rs 17.99 lakh, which I think could have been more aggressive. Also, there’s no DCT with the turbo-petrol; it is only available on the 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated engine option, which is a miss.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Tata-Sierra_infotainment-screen-1768309045651.webp" alt="Tata Sierra_infotainment-screen.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 There are a few nitpicks, though. The road and tyre noise are intrusive at times, the diesel engine isn’t the quietest, and some rivals feel sharper when it comes to driving dynamics. But the Sierra’s many strengths, coupled with its emotional appeal, make it a good choice in the mid-size SUV space. With prices of the 2026 Kia Seltos and the new Mahindra XUV 7XO announced, the Sierra has its work cut out. The fact that the prices of the Hyundai Creta undercuts the Sierra's only makes its job that much tougher.

 
 
 
 


<h2>Tata Sierra Review Verdict</h2>

The 2026 Sierra is much more than just a reboot. It blends old-school Sierra appeal with thoughtful modernity. From its bold design to tech-rich cabin and refined turbo-petrol performance, the Sierra offers something that feels both familiar and excitingly new. If the build quality and long-term reliability pass the test of time, the Sierra nameplate could very well have a new legend to its story.

Tata Sierra First Drive Review - History Hits Refresh

The return of the Tata Sierra nameplate is now old news. The question to ask is: will it pose a problem for its rivals, old and new? We believe it will. 

Tata Motors has revealed the full variant lineup of the Punch facelift ahead of its launch on 13 January 2026. The updated micro SUV will be offered in six trims: Smart, Pure, Pure+, Adventure, Accomplished, and Accomplished+ S. Prices will be announced on launch day. From what is on offer, Tata is aiming to make the Punch appeal to a wide range of buyers. There is a version for first-time car owners, one for regular city use, and others for buyers who want more comfort and technology. The facelift focuses on adding features, improving safety, and updating the design, while keeping the Punch familiar and easy to live with in everyday driving conditions.<h2>Tata Punch Facelift: Smart&nbsp;</h2>The Smart variant is the starting point, yet it covers the basics well. It gets six airbags as standard, LED headlamps, and a new steering wheel design. Eco and City drive modes allow you to choose how the car responds in traffic. Safety and control come from ESC and indirect TPMS, while remote keyless entry adds daily convenience. This variant is aimed at buyers who want a safe and simple compact SUV.<h2>Tata Punch Facelift:&nbsp;Pure</h2>
 
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/New-Tata-Punch-Facelift-Rear-1767675848129.webp" alt="New Tata Punch Facelift Rear.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">The Pure variant adds comfort-focused features. Rear AC vents improve airflow for rear passengers. Steering-mounted audio and phone controls help keep attention on the road. The rear defogger and day-night IRVM support better visibility in different conditions. A centre console with an armrest improves usability, making the Pure better suited for regular commuting.<h2>Tata Punch Facelift: Pure+</h2>The Pure+ variant introduces more technology into the cabin. It gets a 20.32cm touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A rear parking camera helps during tight parking situations. Cruise control adds ease on longer drives. The USB Type-C fast charger and height-adjustable driver seat improve overall convenience and driving comfort.<h2>Tata Punch Facelift:&nbsp;Adventure</h2>The Adventure variant focuses on ease of driving in busy environments. A 360-degree camera and blind spot monitor improve awareness in traffic. Push-button start and automatic climate control add comfort. Auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, and 15-inch wheels balance function and design. A rear wiper and washer improve visibility during rain.<h2>Tata Punch Facelift:&nbsp;Accomplished</h2>

It gets 16-inch alloy wheels and a larger 26.03cm infotainment screen. LED DRLs and connected LED tail lamps update the exterior look. Thigh support seats and touch-based climate controls improve cabin comfort and usability.<h2>Tata Punch Facelift:&nbsp;Accomplished+</h2>At the top is the Accomplished+ S variant. It adds an electric sunroof, LED cornering fog lamps, and a 17.78cm digital cluster. Wireless charging, an auto-dimming IRVM, and iRA connectivity complete the feature list.

New Tata Sierra Launched! Full Walkaround & First Look | autoX

The Tata Sierra is back! One of India’s most iconic nameplates has returned in an all-new avatar, and Aryan gives you a detailed walkaround straight from the launch floor.

The hatchback segment in India isn’t what it used to be. These days, all the action is happening in the SUV and even MPV segments (see our cover). So, it’s a rare treat when we get to review a new hatchback. And it’s even more exciting when that hatchback comes with a diesel engine.

I spent a day with both the diesel and CNG versions of the recently launched Tata Altroz facelift. The new model comes with some tweaks while retaining some of the standout qualities of the outgoing version.

So, how much better is the new Altroz, and how does it stack up against rivals in the same price bracket? Time to find out.

<h2>Tata Altroz Facelift Exterior Updates</h2>

The dimensions of the Altroz remain unchanged, but the styling has received a notable update. There’s a clear emphasis on blacked-out elements, visible on the front end and the newly designed 16-inch alloy wheels. The LED headlamps now sport a sharper, more modern design, enhancing the overall look.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Tata-Altroz-Facelift-1748336409778.webp" alt="Tata Altroz Facelift.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 Further adding to the contemporary appeal are the front flush door handles and connected tail lamps. While I wasn’t particularly taken with the design when I first saw the photos, I have to admit it looks significantly better in person. This is yet another attractively styled offering from Tata – something that’s become the norm of late. That said, I’d still consider swapping out the black alloys. They currently give off a bit too much of an EV vibe for my liking.







<h2>Tata Altroz Facelift Interior Features &amp; Updates</h2>

The dashboard has been redesigned and looks rather impressive. It houses a 10.25-inch touchscreen that was free of any lag during our time with the hatch. This unit supports wireless smartphone connectivity and includes a 65W USB-C port at the front, with another provided for the second row – a thoughtful addition that laptop users will certainly appreciate.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Tata-Altroz-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1749464187723.webp" alt="Tata Altroz-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 Tata has also introduced their illuminated, two-spoke steering wheel into the mix. The AC controls have been moved to a touch panel, which also houses buttons for switching to CNG mode and for activating the 360-degree camera. It’s great to see Tata offering a surround-view camera – the feed quality is decent – though the obstacle detection system does need some calibration. During our test, even when reversing on a flat, empty tarmac, the system repeatedly flagged non-existent obstacles and triggered warning alerts. An electronic sunroof and a larger ambient light strip further add to the interior appeal.







While you still get fabric seats, they provide excellent support and cushioning, particularly due to the new extensions at the base that offer better under-thigh support. This feature is also present in the rear seats. However, I do feel Tata missed a trick by not including powered &amp; ventilated front seats in this update.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Tata_Altroz_Facelift_First_Drive_Review_autoX_Aakash_Rear_Seats-1763970185236.webp" alt="Tata_Altroz_Facelift_First_Drive_Review_autoX_Aakash_Rear_Seats.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 The second-row space is adequate, though knee room may feel just about enough for taller passengers. One surprising omission is the absence of a weight sensor on the rear bench. As a result, the seatbelt warning system requires the rear seat belts to be buckled even when no one is seated at the back – otherwise, the alarm keeps beeping.







<h2>Tata Altroz Diesel &amp; CNG Driving Review</h2>

The new Altroz is available with a choice between a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine, both offering the same outputs as before. The petrol variant is also offered with a CNG option, although the more powerful turbo-petrol version is yet to be introduced.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Tata-Altroz-gear-lever-1749464179915.webp" alt="Tata Altroz-gear-lever.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 

Notably, the Altroz remains the only hatchback to offer a diesel powertrain – a welcome change, especially given how punchy this motor is. It cruises effortlessly at highway speeds; however, at higher revs, engine noise and vibrations do become apparent. Both petrol and diesel engines suffer from a lack of low-end pulling power, which is noticeable in everyday driving.

The petrol engine is now available with a 5-speed AMT, while the CNG and diesel variants are paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. While the gear shifts are generally easy, the throws are long, and there’s an occasional grinding sound mid-shifts. So, while the engine itself is reasonably competent, there haven’t been any notable improvements in terms of how it behaves.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Tata-Altroz-Rear-Three-Quarter-1749464194255.webp" alt="Tata Altroz-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 

What does stand out, however, is the ride quality. Tata continues to deliver some of the best suspension setups in the business – the Altroz handles bumps with impressive composure while still offering good grip around faster corners. It may not be an outright driver’s car, but it comes remarkably close.

<h2>Tata Altroz Facelift Price &amp; Verdict</h2>

The new Altroz remains a well-rounded package – just as it always was. The refreshed styling and updated features make an even stronger case for it in today’s market. Even the introductory starting price of ₹ 6.89 lakh (ex-showroom) is quite competitive.

That said, the higher trims do feel a bit pricey and could have offered a few more features to justify the premium. If you’re looking for a diesel hatchback, the Altroz stands as your default choice. However, if you’re open to petrol or CNG, there are still several worthy contenders in the segment.<iframe width="1425" height="500" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vRR-HQN71v8" title="2025 Tata Altroz Review | Better Than a Compact SUV? | autoX" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>[tabs]
