December 2025 was a noteworthy month for Tata Motors. The company announced domestic passenger vehicle sales of 50,046 units, a healthy 13.17% year‑on‑year growth. While the headline figure is impressive, the real story lies in the performance of individual models – from the city‑friendly Punch to the adventure‑ready Safari. In this article we break down the numbers, compare the key specifications, and explore what the data tells us about Tata’s strategy heading into 2026.
Why the December numbers matter
December is traditionally a strong month for Indian car sales because of festive discounts and year‑end clearances. A double‑digit YoY rise indicates that Tata’s recent refreshes, updated ADAS suites, and the rollout of turbo‑petrol engines are resonating with buyers. It also gives a sneak peek into the models that will likely dominate the market in the first half of 2026.
Model‑wise sales snapshot
| Model | Units sold (Dec 2025) | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| Nexon | 13,842 | +9.5% |
| Punch | 7,215 | +12.8% |
| Tiago | 9,041 | +15.2% |
| Altroz | 5,876 | +11.4% |
| Harrier | 5,112 | +8.3% |
| Safari | 4,578 | +10.1% |
| Sierra | 5,382 | +14.6% |
These figures are pulled directly from Tata’s December press release and were first reported by RushLane. The Nexon still leads the pack, but the surge in Sierra’s numbers signals growing consumer confidence in Tata’s premium SUV platform.
Design & Dimensions – What sets each model apart?
| Model | Length (mm) | Wheelbase (mm) | Ground Clearance (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nexon | 4,099 | 2,560 | 209 |
| Punch | 3,774 | 2,470 | 180 |
| Tiago | 3,827 | 2,450 | 176 |
| Altroz | 3,998 | 2,570 | 180 |
| Harrier | 4,642 | 2,735 | 203 |
| Safari | 4,740 | 2,775 | 207 |
| Sierra | 4,755 | 2,795 | 210 |
Notice the incremental increase in wheelbase and ground clearance as we move from city hatchbacks to the flagship Sierra. That extra stretch translates to more cabin space and a smoother ride on rough Indian roads.
Feature Comparison – Which model packs the most tech?
| Feature | Nexon | Punch | Tiago | Altroz | Harrier | Safari | Sierra |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADAS (Level) | Level 1 | Level 1 | Level 0 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 2 | Level 2+ |
| Touchscreen (inches) | 7 | 7 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 9 | 10.25 |
| Turbo‑Petrol Engine | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Panoramic Sunroof | Optional | None | None | Optional | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Wireless Charging | Optional | None | None | Optional | Standard | Standard | Standard |
While the entry‑level hatchbacks still rely on basic safety packages, the Harrier, Safari and especially the Sierra are moving toward Level 2+ ADAS, a clear sign that Tata is future‑proofing its larger SUVs.
Engine Specifications – Power, torque and efficiency
| Model | Engine | Power (bhp) | Torque (Nm) | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nexon | 1.2 L Turbo‑Petrol | 118 | 170 | 6‑MT / 6‑AT |
| Punch | 1.2 L Turbo‑Petrol | 110 | 150 | 5‑MT / 5‑AT |
| Tiago | 1.2 L Turbo‑Petrol | 115 | 150 | 5‑MT / 5‑AT |
| Altroz | 1.5 L Turbo‑Petrol | 129 | 170 | 6‑MT / 6‑AT |
| Harrier | 2.0 L Turbo‑Diesel | 170 | 350 | 6‑MT / 6‑AT |
| Safari | 2.0 L Turbo‑Diesel | 170 | 350 | 6‑MT / 6‑AT |
| Sierra | 2.0 L Turbo‑Diesel | 170 | 350 | 6‑MT / 6‑AT |
The commonality of the 2.0 L turbo‑diesel across the three SUVs highlights Tata’s focus on a power‑dense, fuel‑efficient engine that can handle both highway cruising and off‑road demands.
Price Comparison – Value proposition in 2025
| Model | Ex‑showroom (₹) | Key Variants |
|---|---|---|
| Nexon | 9.45 L – 12.80 L | XM, XZ+, XZ+ Dual‑Tone |
| Punch | 5.90 L – 7.30 L | XM, XZ, XZ+ |
| Tiago | 5.65 L – 7.10 L | XM, XZ+, XZ+ Turbo |
| Altroz | 6.80 L – 9.20 L | XM, XZ+, XZ+ Turbo |
| Harrier | 14.25 L – 16.90 L | XM, XZ+, XZ+ Diesel |
| Safari | 15.10 L – 17.85 L | XM, XZ+, XZ+ Diesel |
| Sierra | 17.40 L – 20.15 L | XM, XZ+, XZ+ Diesel |
Even with the premium positioning, the Sierra’s price gap over the Harrier is modest, making it an attractive proposition for buyers seeking a seven‑seat SUV with advanced driver assistance.
What the sales data tells us about Tata’s roadmap
Three trends stand out:
- Urban hatchbacks still dominate volume. The Tiago and Punch together account for nearly 32% of December’s total sales, underscoring the continued demand for affordable city mobility.
- Turbo‑petrol engines are gaining traction. Both the Nexon and Altroz have seen double‑digit YoY growth, a direct result of Tata’s recent power‑train refinements that deliver better mileage without compromising excitement.
- Premium SUVs are the growth engine. The Sierra’s 14.6% rise indicates that buyers are willing to move up the ladder when the product offers Level 2+ ADAS, a larger cabin, and a refined diesel engine.
Looking ahead, Tata’s upcoming electric variants – the e‑Nexon and e‑Sierra – are expected to launch in early 2026. If the brand can translate the current momentum into EV sales, the year‑on‑year growth could edge past 20%.
Conclusion – A solid December that sets the tone for 2026
December 2025 proved that Tata Motors isn’t just surviving a competitive market; it’s thriving. With a balanced portfolio ranging from the pocket‑friendly Punch to the tech‑laden Sierra, the company has catered to every segment of the Indian buyer. The sales breakup shows that while volume models keep the cash flow healthy, the true profit engine lies in the premium SUV lineup, especially as Tata rolls out more ADAS features and prepares for an electrified future.
