Tata Sierra and Mahindra XUV700 Facelift Will Feature Triple-Screen Layout

Tata Sierra and Mahindra XUV700 Facelift are adding triple-screen dashboards to appeal to tech-savvy SUV buyers in India.

Indian carmakers, Tata and Mahindra, are now planning to put triple-screen dashboards in their upcoming models. This design choice should appeal to younger buyers who like new technology. While big touchscreens in the middle and digital displays for the driver have become common, special screens for passengers are starting to show up in modern car interiors. India will likely see at least two new models with this setup by next year: the new Tata Sierra and the updated Mahindra XUV700 facelift.

Tata Sierra: A Return with a Modern Interior

After being off the market for twenty years, the Tata Sierra, which was India’s first SUV, is set to come back to showrooms. This new model will fit between the Tata Nexon and Tata Harrier in terms of size. It will compete with other popular SUVs like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, VW Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, and Renault Duster. The Sierra’s distinct boxy shape and design ideas, which came from the original model, will help it stand out. Its inside technology will also be a key part of its appeal.

Recent spy photos have shown that the Tata Sierra will have three separate screens on its dashboard. This setup includes a digital display for the driver, a central touchscreen for things like music and settings, and a separate touchscreen just for the front passenger. These screens are placed with clear spaces between them, making the cabin feel modern and open.

The passenger screen in the Tata Sierra is expected to do several things. It will probably let the front passenger help the driver with navigation or pick music and other media. Passengers might also be able to watch videos, TV shows, and movies while they are traveling. A special film on this screen is designed to stop it from distracting the driver, so safety will remain important.

Tata Motors has said that the new Sierra will launch sometime between October of this year and March of next year. While a more exact date has not been given yet, many expect it to launch in late 2025. The company plans to offer the Tata Sierra with both regular engines and electric options.

Mahindra XUV700 Facelift: An Updated Digital Experience

Mahindra had started using a triple-screen setup in its XEV 9e model earlier this year. Now, spy photos suggest that the company plans to put this advanced layout into the Mahindra XUV700 facelift, which should arrive next year. The updated XUV700 might have three 12.3-inch screens: one for the digital instrument cluster, one for the central touchscreen, and one for the passenger. The passenger screen in the new Mahindra XUV700 facelift is expected to offer many entertainment and practical features. Passengers could play games, stream videos, watch TV shows and movies, make video calls, and use the navigation system. The refreshed XUV700 will likely launch sometime in 2026.

Insights and Analysis: How Car Interiors Are Changing in India

The decision by Tata and Mahindra to use triple-screen layouts shows a clear change in how car interiors are being designed. This type of advanced screen setup, which used to be mostly in expensive cars from other countries, is now appearing in more common vehicles. This means that people buying cars today want more technology and digital features. For the Tata Sierra and Mahindra XUV700 facelift, these multiple screens are not just for looks. They are meant to make things easier for the driver and more fun for passengers. This focus on advanced digital features will probably help these cars stand out in India’s busy SUV market. It also highlights how important software and how easy it is to use the car’s systems are becoming when people decide which car to buy.
