Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.03L more for the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater: ventilated front seats. The useful extras on top: driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital) and auto climate (single zone). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Sierra swallows the most luggage at 622 litres
- Also on the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater: third-row AC vents, wireless phone charger, 60:40 split rear seat and leatherette upholstery, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater, you give up all-wheel disc brakes, hill descent control and rear parking camera, which the Sierra Pure keeps
- Choose the Tata Sierra Pure if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.03L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Citroen AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
