Tata Sierra 2025 vs Hyundai Creta – Full Real-World Comparison, Price, Features & Safety
First of all, let me tell you that the Sierra is not the size of XUV, Scorpio or Fortuner.
This is a midsized SUV that will compete with models like Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Vitara, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor and Citroen Aircross.
Tata has launched the 2025 Sierra at Rs 11.49 lakh, showcasing its exterior, interior and full powertrain line-up, along with all key features.
The new Sierra is around 4.3 metres long and sits above the Curvv in Tata’s line-up, placed squarely in the midsize SUV segment.
This car is inspired by the legendary 90s Tata Sierra, India’s first turbocharged diesel SUV.
So today we are going to compare it with the Creta.
Before comparing them in real life, let’s talk about the facts.
Its target clearly seems to be the Creta, because Creta has huge dominance in the market.
Creta sells 18–19 thousand units every month.
But can the Sierra compete with the Creta when even its introductory price is higher?

So the first question everyone has in mind nowadays — what will be its actual size?

Tata Sierra will be available in both manual and automatic.
Because its competition is Creta, which has ruled the market for years.
Now let’s talk about safety — because a car may look like a Range Rover but if it isn’t safe, it’s of no use.
Tata has already shown the Sierra’s frontal crash test results to prove how safe it is expected to be.
And the Hyundai Creta was tested by Global NCAP in 2022, where it scored 3 stars.
Safety-features wise, both SUVs get Level 2 ADAS, 6 airbags, and the remaining basic safety features are also common.
Now it’s time for the verdict.
In terms of size and features, the Sierra is ahead of the Creta — in fact, ahead of most cars in the segment.
Safety has always been Tata’s identity.
And for the pricing currently shown, the Sierra justifies everything it offers.
Practically speaking, it looks better than the Creta.
But yes, it is also more expensive.
And the final pricing is yet to come — after that things will be clearer.
So if you’re planning to buy this car, this is the right time.
