Position
Kia Seltos’ position has been very firm since it introduced itself as a small, compact SUV that offers a nice ride, elegant design, and a variety of options for city or highway driving. On the contrary, Tata Sierra is speculated for a comeback in November 2025. The knocking at the door of the future with bold design, larger cabin and EV option, this new-generation model will surely attract a lot of attention as an exciting upcoming contender in the segment.
Design
Seltos and Sierra, both have their own attractive looks. Seltos, the modern, urban-type vehicle, stays with its sharp edges and clean stance. Sierra, on the other hand, portrays the original image of the legend through its boxy and rough body along with tall roof and divinely strong SUV identity. It certainly has a road presence that is quite a bit larger because of its footprint and vertical SUV style.
Size
When the two are put side by side, the Sierra clearly wins in terms of dimensions. Its length is 4400 mm, its width is 1918 mm, and its height is 1925 mm. Seltos measures 4365 mm in length, 1800 mm in width, and 1645 mm in height. Sierra is longer, wider, and taller by a large margin which results in a more spacious cabin and a stronger presence on the road. Boot space also supports Sierra with an offering of 447 litres compared to Seltos’ 433 litres.
Power
The Seltos SUV from Kia offers customers a choice of two different motors: a 1.5-liter petrol engine generating 113 bhp and 144 Nm and a 1.5-liter diesel engine giving the same 113 bhp but with a high torque of 250 Nm. The new-generation Sierra is likely to go even further in terms of performance by introducing a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol unit of about 170 PS and 280 Nm, and a 2.0-liter diesel of 170 PS and 350 Nm. The biggest plus is the battery-powered version that would grant the customers cleanest option with no emissions. Sierra is going after a broader market with its power and EV option.
Cabin
Kia Seltos is very good inside if only for the 10.25-inched infotainment screen, ventilated seats, sunroof and connected tech. Tata is expected to make the Sierra even more extravagant by providing a top-notch triple-screen dashboard, the finest upholstery, multi-colour ambient lighting, and a JBL speaker system with 12 speakers. Rear seats are going to be lounge-inspired, contributing to the overall upscale vibe of the cabin.
Price
Kia Seltos currently has a price range of ₹10.79 lakh to ₹19.80 lakh. The Tata Sierra is expected to cost around ₹11 to ₹18 lakh in India. If the price is correct, the Sierra can come up with more features and more powerful engines and still not go above the budget.
Verdict
The Kia Seltos is still there as a reliable, stylish, and fully-equipped SUV, which you can buy now. Tata Sierra on the other hand, promises big size, more power, futuristic styling, and an EV version to be one of the most exciting car launches of 2025. Those who can wait may find the Sierra more future-proof, while the Seltos will still be a good choice for those who want a winning combination right now.
