Tata Motors is making significant strides in the automotive industry with recent updates to its popular SUV lineup, comprising the Nexon, Nexon.ev, Harrier, and Safari. As an indigenous automaker, Tata is not resting on its laurels but is instead preparing to launch a series of new SUVs, currently in the final stages of testing. This strategic move is aimed at maintaining the company’s lead in the market. Let’s delve into the key details of the upcoming Tata SUVs.
Upcoming Tata SUVs
Tata Punch.ev
The highly anticipated Tata Punch.ev is set to launch before the culmination of 2024. Positioned as an electric micro SUV, it is expected to be available in two trims: MR (Medium Range) and LR (Long Range). Speculations suggest a potential powertrain synergy with the Tiago.ev or Nexon.ev. The Punch.ev is poised to impress with an estimated range of 200km-300km on a full charge. Noteworthy features may include a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system exclusive to higher trims, a sunroof, electronic parking brake, a distinctive two-spoke steering wheel, and a front bumper-integrated charging socket.
Tata Curvv.ev
The Tata Curvv.ev, slated for an early 2024 release, marks another significant product launch. Tata Motors has already laid out plans for an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) version, featuring a novel 1.2L turbo petrol engine. In its electric iteration, the Curvv.ev is reported to offer an impressive range of up to 500km. The final version is expected to stay true to its earlier concept, with recent sightings hinting at a feature-packed SUV, including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), a Head-Up Display (HUD) unit, a 360-degree camera, and ventilated front seats.
Tata Harrier/Safari Petrol
Adding a petrol-powered dimension to its lineup, Tata Motors will introduce an updated version of the Harrier and Safari. These models will be equipped with a new 1.6L turbocharged Direct Injection (DI) petrol engine, emphasizing reduced emissions and a robust power output of 160bhp. The new gasoline unit will be complemented by an automatic gearbox, paddle shifters, and multiple drive modes. Despite the powertrain evolution, the overall design, interior, and features of the Harrier and Safari petrol variants are expected to be retained.
