Following the market introduction of the Sierra, Tata Motors has detailed the extended warranty options available for the new SUV. Positioned in the competitive 4.2m to 4.4m segment with a starting price of Rs 11.5 lakh (ex-showroom), the Sierra comes standard with a 3-year or 1,00,000 km manufacturer warranty. The newly released extended packages allow owners to increase this coverage by either one or two years, with pricing structured around the specific powertrain and the timing of the purchase.
Tiered Pricing and Surcharge Structure
Tata Motors has implemented a time-sensitive pricing strategy for these protection plans. To encourage early adoption, the company is waiving surcharges for customers who opt into the extended warranty within the first 90 days of the vehicle purchase date. For those who delay the decision, the following surcharges apply:
- 91 to 180 days: A 10% premium is added to the base price of the plan.
- Beyond 180 days: A 20% surcharge is applied to the enrollment cost.
Extended Coverage Options
Owners can choose between two primary tiers of additional protection. The first option extends the total coverage to 4 years or 1,00,000 km, while the more comprehensive plan offers a total of 5 years or 1,25,000 km. The cost of these plans varies significantly based on the engine and transmission configuration.

Market Positioning
The Sierra represents a significant step for Tata Motors in the mid-size SUV space, arriving shortly after the launch of the Curvv. By offering these extended service contracts, the manufacturer aims to provide long-term cost predictability for buyers. These plans cover mechanical and electrical failures beyond the standard warranty period, a common consideration for consumers in this price bracket looking to mitigate potential out-of-warranty repair costs.
