Tata Sierra: Waiting period breakdown
Tata Sierra comes in 7 variants – Smart+, Pure, Pure+, Adventure, Adventure+, Accomplished, and Accomplished+.

The Kryojet diesel variants are in the most demand, with waiting periods between 3 to 4 months, depending on the variants. The higher variants have a longer waiting time. The waiting period of the Revotron and Hyperion petrol engine variants is 2-4 weeks shorter than their Kryojet counterparts. When it comes to transmission, the automatic variants are taking 2-4 weeks longer to deliver than the manual ones. The Munnar Mist paint shade has the longest waiting period out of all the colour options.
The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated ‘Revotron’ petrol engine produces a maximum power output of 105hp and 145Nm of torque. It can be mated to a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. The 1.5-litre TGDI ‘Hyperion’ petrol engine generates a maximum power output of 158hp and 255Nm of torque.
