The Tata Sierra , or Tata Sierra Turbo , was an SUV manufactured by Tata Motors in India from 1991-1998 . It was the first car to be designed and built entirely in India. The car also forms the basis for the DC Design Arya concept vehicle . The Sierra is powered by an inline four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with a displacement of 1.9 l. At first it had a naturally aspirated engine; the turbodiesel came later. The Sierra Turbo is said to have been the first Indian car with a turbocharger. The later models can be recognized by their plastic moldings on the fenders and the headlights, which correspond to the Estate . All-wheel drive was also available at the customer's request . The car had three doors.

This car was the first car built by Tata Motors, a company that is part of the Tata Group . The company is better known for commercial vehicles and the new Sierra has been specially adapted to Indian needs. It was the first car that was accepted as a private vehicle in India without immediately assuming the known disadvantages of diesel. The construction is acceptable, if not leading. Some detailed solutions were offered for the first time in India, such as B. an adjustable steering wheel. The engine noise is also suppressed remarkably well; when you drive in top gear you can't easily hear that a diesel is working under the bonnet. Electric windows, power steering and a tachometer were also part of the standard equipment. The chassis and body are very rigid. The engine is known for its durability.

The Tata Sierra is no longer in production. Some owners have organized themselves into a Yahoo group.
