GaadiWaadi –
Priced from Rs. 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom) to 21.29 lakh rupees (ex-showroom), the all-new Tata Sierra is among the safest mid-size SUVs available in India
Tata Motors’ continued progress in vehicle safety has seen the all-new Sierra bag the 5-star rating in the Bharat New Car Assessment Program (BNCAP). The rating applies to both adult occupant protection and child occupant protection.
Of the maximum 32 points in adult occupant protection, the all-new Tata Sierra has scored 31.14 points, equivalent to a 5-star rating. To be more specific, the mid-size SUV has scored 15.14 out of the maximum 16 points in the frontal offset deformable barrier test and the full 16 points in side movable deformable barrier test.
The 0.86 points lost in the frontal offset deformable barrier test were due to an ‘adequate’ protection instead of ‘good’ for the driver dummy’s chest and tibiae and the front passenger dummy’s tibia. In the side pole impact test, the all-new Sierra has been given an ‘OK’ rating for adult occupant protection.

In the child occupant protection, conducted using an 18-month dummy and a 3-year-old dummy, both rearward facing, the all-new Tata Sierra scored 44.73 out of the maximum 49 points. The 18-month dummy obtained 7.73 out of the maximum 8 points in the frontal crash test and the full 4 points in the side crash test. The 3-year-old dummy obtained full points in both these tests, though. Thus, the dynamic score in child occupant protection stood at 23.73 out of the maximum 24 points.
The all-new Tata Sierra scored the full 12 points for child restraint system installation. Despite the strong dynamic score and full points in child restraint system installation, the overall child occupant protection rating was let down by the vehicle assessment score, which stood at 9 out of the maximum 13 points.
