The new-generation Tata Sierra, launched recently, may soon grow beyond its 5-seat configuration. Early industry reports suggest that Tata Motors is evaluating a longer, three-row, 7-seater version of the SUV—a model that would slot below the Safari while offering a more rugged, lifestyle-oriented appeal.
Built on the Flexible ARGOS Platform
The Sierra debuts Tata’s new ARGOS platform (All-terrain Ready Omni-Energy and Geometry Scalable Architecture), engineered to support:
- Multiple body styles
- Petrol, diesel and future EV powertrains
- Advanced drivetrain setups, including AWD
Its modular structure makes a stretched, 7-seater Sierra technically viable without requiring a ground-up redesign.
7-Seater Sierra Under Study
Tata Motors is currently evaluating:
- A stretched wheelbase
- Three-row seating layout
- A cabin focused on family comfort and chauffeur-driven users
If cleared for production, the 7-seater Sierra would position itself below the Safari, offering a more adventurous alternative without overlapping too closely.
Depends on Market Response
Tata will greenlight the 7-seater Sierra only if:
- The 5-seat Sierra gains strong market traction
- There is clear demand for another premium 7-seat SUV
- It delivers incremental sales rather than cannibalising Harrier/Safari volumes
For now, the Sierra remains a 5-seater with multiple powertrains, aimed at lifestyle, premium and urban buyers. An AWD variant is already confirmed for 2027, making it Tata’s first new-gen model with all-wheel-drive capability.
What a 7-Seater Sierra Could Offer
If approved, the three-row Sierra could:
- Strengthen Tata’s lineup below the Safari
- Appeal to family SUV buyers seeking a tougher design
- Enhance the Sierra’s versatility
- Establish a new niche in the 7-seat mid-size segment
It has the potential to become one of Tata’s most adaptable nameplates in the coming years.Tata Sierra Could Get a 7-Seater Version in the Future
