Tata Motors has been busy launching new cars and facelifts, continuing with its approach, the company will launch at least 7-8 cars including some facelifts in the next 12-18 months. These include production versions of the H7X and H2X concept. Here’s a look at the upcoming Tata cars in India –
1. Tata H2X (Hornbill)
The Tata H2X concept broke covers at the recently held Geneva Motor Show. It previews a Maruti Ignis and a Mahindra KUV100 rival that will become the most affordable SUV/crossover from the country’s biggest carmaker. It will be underpinned by the Alfa Arc platform and could share the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with the Tiago, albeit, in a BSVI-compliant format.
Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual and an AMT. Pratap Bose, Head of design, Tata Motors has said that the production-spec model will retain almost 80 per cent of the concept’s design, which means you can get a boxy silhouette and a bold stance.
Tata Blackbird
Tata Motors is also busy developing a Hyundai Creta-rival that is internally known as ‘Blackbird’. The new SUV will be slotted between the Nexon and the Harrier and will be built on the Alfa Arc platform. The new model will measure 4.2 metres in length and will be the first product on the Alfa platform that will measure more than four metres in length.
