Cops Stop Brand New Tata Sierra: Here's Why [Video]

The Tata Sierra is currently the talk of the town and, over the last month, has probably been the most searched SUV on the internet. We recently drove the Sierra in Chandigarh, and a detailed review is available on our website. While Tata has officially launched the Sierra, deliveries are yet to begin. Bookings, however, are already open, and early reports suggest that buyers are genuinely liking the SUV.

We have seen several reaction videos of the Tata Sierra online, and here is one such video that shows how police officers reacted after seeing the Sierra on the road for the first time.

The video has been shared by an Instagram page called “the indian sarcasm.” It was recorded by a person who was driving the Sierra. According to the video, while driving through the roads of Chandigarh as part of the media drive, a couple of police officers travelling in a Mahindra Scorpio Classic asked them to pull over.

Initially, the occupants were confused and assumed it was a routine check or a traffic violation. The officers stepped out of their vehicle and walked towards the Sierra.

As the officer approached the car, he told the vlogger that they had stopped him just to check out the vehicle. Relieved, the vlogger invited them to get inside and explore the car themselves. One of the officers entered the cabin from the co-driver side, while the other inspected the exterior.

The officer inside the cabin began checking out the interior and mentioned that he had been curious about the Sierra for a long time and was waiting for it to launch. In fact, he had even visited a nearby Tata dealership, but was told that the vehicle had not yet reached showrooms.

The video was shot in December, and Tata had likely started dispatching vehicles to dealerships only after completing the media drives. The officer was clearly impressed with the cabin quality, fit, and finish. He even mentioned that he had already booked a Mahindra Scorpio N, but after experiencing the Sierra’s interior, he liked it more and was considering cancelling his Scorpio N booking.

The Tata Sierra is unlike any other Tata car or SUV currently on sale. Its design is unique, and the Andaman Adventure Yellow shade seen in the video makes it stand out from the crowd. We truly appreciate Tata for offering such distinctive colour options.

The Sierra is based on the all-new ARGOS platform and comes loaded with premium features, including the largest panoramic sunroof in the segment. The cabin uses soft-touch materials, and the biggest highlight is the triple-screen layout on the dashboard.

The Sierra is available with three engine options: a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel. The NA petrol engine gets manual and DCA gearbox options, the turbo-petrol is offered only with a 6-speed automatic, while the diesel comes with both manual and automatic transmissions.

The SUV is AWD-ready, and this feature will be introduced at a later stage. Tata is also working on the Sierra EV, which is expected to be launched later this year.
