Tata Sierra Legend Series and Dark Edition Launched | Walkaround | Times Drive

So Tata launched the Sierra at the beginning of 2026 with a lot of fanfare, I mean a lot of people wanted the legend to come back, the original Sierra making a transformation. Now closer to a year, they listened to customer feedback and while people have really appreciated what the Sierra looks like on the inside, customers had a suggestion, the interior for the base model needed a little sprucing up and that's what Tata has done, they've listened to them. Now we know that Tata loves to launch their additions and this time they've not done one but two and one's an addition, the other is a series. Now this is getting confusing but to clear your confusion, I'm right here. In today's video, we're going to talk about the Tata Sierra Legend Series and the Sierra Dark Edition. The Legend Series is what you see standing next to me, the Dark Edition is at a different place and we will get to that in the second half of this video. So, without further ado, my name is Dhruv Phaliwal, you're watching TimeStrive, let's get rolling. Now starting with the Sierra Legend Series, Tata has created an option of a Legend Series across most variants of the Sierra and what this does is, it adds better finishing touches, better features to the Sierra lineup, especially the base variants. Now, the Legend Series is mostly available across the variant lineup but we're going to be showing you two main variants where what Tata says is, is where the meat of the changes are. The car standing there, that's the Pure L Optional variant, the car behind me, that's the Pure Plus L variant. Now, this is the higher spec car, that's the lower spec car, we're going to talk about both, we're going to look at the changes in both, let's start with the Pure L Optional. So, on the Pure L Optional variant, well, what do you get that's extra? Well, for starters, these headlamps you see, obviously, they've not changed but automatic headlamps are now available on this variant, so is the case with rain-sensing wipers. Earlier, these weren't available in the base variant but it's an additional feature which increases safety and convenience. Now, in the lower variants, you don't often get alloy wheels but on the Pure L Optional variant, you get a 17-inch alloy wheel. Now, why am I standing at the back of the Sierra? Because in the Pure L O variant, again, you get a wiper, it's not visible but it's hidden inside over here but there is no defogger yet. Inside, that's where things have gone a bit high-end. Now, this is the Pure L Optional variant, which is a lower variant but what Tata is now offering here is leatherette upholstery on the seats, on the armrest and on the door pads and on this lower variant, the upholstery is twin-coloured. Meaning, if you look at the seats, the lower half is off-white and the upper half is black. Last but not the least, yes, there is one more feature. The panoramic sunroof is now available on this, the Pure L Optional variant. Earlier, in this price bracket, Tata didn't make this option available but now that you've got the panoramic sunroof and the leatherette upholstery, the interior has become a lot more premium. If you want to buy this Legend Series Sierra, so what's the price going to be? Well, across the line, Tata has already revealed the price but if you talk about this Pure L Optional variant, it's priced at Rs. 14.29 lakhs. Now, this is the Sierra Pure Plus L variant. It's a higher variant than the Pure L Optional variant. Let's see what it's packing. Now, if we talk about the exterior, the Pure Plus L variant has only one major change compared to the Pure L Optional variant. And that is, along with the wiper, there is also a defogger to keep the wiper company. Now, the meat of the changes are on the inside. Let's start with the leatherette upholstery. Now, you'll say, that was also there in the other variant but here, it's more extensively used. You get leatherette on the steering as well. If you look at the front, you get a soft-touch material. And even the colour for the seats, that has been changed. So, here, you get a more uplifting ambience. Along with that, you get this calf extender for the seats, which is for both the front seats. This is used to increase comfort on long journeys. If you want to increase comfort on long journeys, well, you get ventilated seats on the front. And for the driver, the seat is electrically adjustable. Now, one more important feature for the driver is a one-touch up-down window. But this is only dedicated to the driver. You don't get this option in all the other windows. Last but not the least, you get fully automatic temperature control with dual-zone climate control. That means, you can set different temperatures for the right and left half. Now, there's a couple of additions here for the rear passengers as well. Firstly, both the passengers, all three of them, will be able to charge their devices, their smartphones. Because they've got two, not one, two 65W fast-charging Type-C USB ports at the back. I mean, even a laptop can run on this much. And the second one, a feature I like better, is this. So, basically, pull this lever and you can move this seat. This is basically the boss mode feature. If you're travelling with a chauffeur or a driver, the driver's driving the car, and you're sitting here, you want to liberate more space. Simply, use the boss mode feature and you have more leg space right here. So, what's the Sierra Pure Plus L going to cost you? Now, with that, we're done covering the legend series. It's time for the Dark Edition. And now, let's talk about the Sierra's Dark Edition. Now, to start it all off, on the outside, and forgive me if my pronunciation is not correct, but it's called Phrygian Black, the colour that sets the tone for this car, the Sierra Dark Edition. Now, three things on the front that are important for Dark Edition buyers. First of all, we're looking at the Sierra badging here. That is to say, this has been done in dark room. There's a slight smokey effect, I'd say, but it doesn't really look dark. What's your opinion on that? Do let us know in the comment section below. Secondly, we're looking at this logo. It's a 2D finish. Piano black elements have been used here. This has also been kind of blacked out. And this looks nice. Last but not the least, the area below, for skid plate, this has also been blacked out. Now, let's talk about the side. Two important changes. First of all, the 19-inch, almost blacked-out alloy wheel looks quite good. Second thing, it can be seen on all Dark Editions, which is the hashtag dark badge on the fender right here. Now, similar changes at the back. The same 2D style, kind of blacked-out logo. Sierra is written here in dark room. Although, I have to say this, it looks a little dark at the back. Maybe it's the lighting at the front that was the problem. And last but not the least, here you get to see this faux skid plate again, which is once again blacked-out. Now, the interior is where things go seriously black on the Sierra Dark Edition. Well, for starters, the entire interior is blacked-out. But, what are the bits that have changed? Let's quickly take a look. Firstly, you can see the steering wheel in front of me. It used to come in a dual-colored finish. It used to be white at the bottom. Now, it's all black here. The dashboard is also fully blacked-out. The hard plastics on the door are also fully blacked-out. This area used to be white on the regular Sierra. Again, this has been blacked-out. This area as well. And, along with that, the decor panels that you see on the door, is what Tata is calling them. These trim elements, basically, these 2 have been blacked-out. The seats, blacked-out as well. The armrest, once again blacked-out as well. Talking about small touches, once again. The start-stop button, it's got a ring around it that's been blacked-out. The terrain selector button, along with other buttons over here, all of these are blacked-out with white lettering on them. This console here, you can't see it properly, but this is a purple insert. When the lighting is dimmed, you will be able to see this properly. And, one more purple finish over here, which I really like, is the stitching on the seats. This is a purple stitching, lends good contrast to black, and that's saying something. Now, how has the experience changed for rear passengers? Well, there are no differences in terms of comfort or amenities. But, again, styling, yes. First of all, it's fully blacked-out. You've got purple inserts at the back of the seats, right here. And, also, over here, underneath the air vents. The centre area, which is here, also comes with a purple insert. And, obviously, purple contrast stitching. So, in terms of comfort, we haven't seen any new feature addition here. But, there is one thing I do want to mention. Sitting at the back with such a blacked-out cabin, especially if your sunroof is closed, it does feel a little claustrophobic. Especially, comparing the fact that we've just come from a more livelier version of the CRS cabin. So, if you're someone who doesn't like that feeling, maybe sitting at the back won't be such a great idea in the Dark Edition. But, in terms of sportiness, this is doing a good job. So, how far back is the Dark Edition going to set you? Well, the launch price of this edition is ₹13.99 lakh to ₹20.59 lakh. Now, let me make it a little bit easier for you. The base variant on which the Dark Edition will be available, you'll have to pay a premium of ₹20,000 to get the Dark Edition. Any variant above that, that premium goes up to ₹30,000. Now, what do you think? Is that worth it for a colour change like the Dark Edition with a blacked-out exterior and a blacked-out interior? I'd love to know what your opinion is down in the comment section below. That was all for this video. We've covered both the Tata Sierra Legend Series and the Tata Sierra Dark Edition. Which of these two cars did you prefer more? Once again, we'd love to know that as well in the comment section below. Thank you so much for watching and until the next one, goodbye.
