A Tata Sierra owner has mounted the spare wheel directly on the tailgate — and the internet has strong opinions about it. This is the first known instance of this specific modification on the new Sierra which only began deliveries in January 2026. The original Sierra nameplate from the 1990s used to come with a spare wheel on the tailgate and the owner appears to have revived that design element on the new model. The result has sparked the inevitable Defender comparisons, though the two cars sit in very different price brackets and are built on entirely different philosophies.
