6 Confirmed Tata Car And SUV Launches
Tata Motors has lately been actively working on expanding its product portfolio in India. The homegrown carmaker is expected to launch new cars and SUVS across the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV) segments. Here are six launches that have already been confirmed for the Indian market...
Altroz Facelift
The Altroz has been a strong player in the premium hatchback space. It is slated for a major overhaul. The facelifted model will get notable design updates, more features, and improved cabin layout while still retaining the powertrain options.
The design will get a redesigned front grille, sharper bumpers, new LED headlamps, LED DRLs, refreshed tail lamp design with full-width light bar, flush-type door handles and more. The new car will thus have a better, more modern design.
The interior will have a refreshed design, and more features. The cabin will have better built, and premium materials and trims. The feature list will be revised, and the car will come with the likes of a large 10.25-inch floating touchscreen, digital 10.25-inch instrument cluster, touch-sensitive climate control panel, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 360-degree camera, a single-pane sunroof, keyless entry, push-button start, and cruise control.
The powertrain options will consist of a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.2L turbo-petrol engine, CNG powertrain and a 1.5L diesel engine. The facelifted Altroz will likely breathe fresh life into the premium hatchback space. The market launch is expected to commence on 22 May 2025.
Harrier EV
The Harrier.EV will be Tata’s first major electric SUV launch of 2025. Previously showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Auto Expo and officially revealed afterwards, this EV is expected to launch in June this year.
The Harrier EV will have a bold and modern design. Key design highlights will include a closed-off grille, LED DRLs, split headlamps, futuristic lower bumper design, 19-inch aeroblade-style alloy wheels, connected LED taillamps, and a silver skid plate.
The cabin will have a dual-tone colourway. The Harrier EV will come with features like a 360-degree camera, four-spoke steering wheel with the illuminated Tata logo, touch-based HVAC controls, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. It will also come with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability.
Powering the Harrier.EV will be a dual-motor setup that will have a combined output of 369 bhp and 500 Nm of torque. The vehicle will likely be able to do the 0–100 km/h sprint in under 6 seconds. Though not confirmed officially, the EV could come with a 75–80 kWh battery pack. The expected range is over 500 km per charge.
The vehicle will also come with all-wheel-drive (AWD) technology. It will be based on the modular Acti.ev platform. The all-electric Harrier is expected to have an ex-showroom price of Rs 25–30 lakh, when launched. It will battle the likes of the upcoming Mahindra XUV.e8 and Hyundai Creta EV.
Sierra EV
Tata Motors will soon resurrect the legendary 'Sierra' moniker. The production SUV will have both EV and ICE versions. The Sierra EV will be based on the Acti.EV platform and will be available in the front-wheel-drive (FWD) configuration alone. It will borrow the Harrier.EV's battery pack that is claimed to deliver 500+ km in range. The electric Sierra could have its pricing in the range of Rs 20–25 lakh. The EV form is expected to arrive before the ICE.
Sierra Petrol/Diesel
Tata Motors showcased the Internal Combustion Engined (ICE) version of the Sierra at the Auto Expo this year. The production model will have clear visual differentiation from the Sierra EV and will likely be powered by the same engine as the outgoing Harrier and Safari. It could thus come with the diesel engine , and be joined by the newly developed petrol powertrain later.
Tata Harrier Petrol
Tata Motors is reportedly working on developing a new petrol engine that would soon sit under the hood of the Harrier. The petrol-powered Harrier will have minimal design deviations from the outgoing Harrier (which comes with a diesel engine). The new engine will be a 1.5-litre TGDi turbocharged petrol engine. It will likely produce 170 hp. Tata had previously showcased this mill at the Auto Expo 2023. The market launch is expected in July 2025.
Safari Petrol
The new petrol engine is also expected to make its way into the Safari as well. The Safari now comes with the same diesel engine as the Harrier. The addition of the petrol engine will only increase its appeal.
