Tata Motors will officially announce the name of the
production version of the Tata H5X Concept today. The company has also released
a teaser image of the upcoming SUV. The teaser highlights the
humanity line that runs along the lower edge of the grille. LED pilot lamps
flanking the upper grille can be seen in the image as well. From the looks of
it, the primary headlamps are likely to be positioned lower down in the bumper.
The Tata SUV will be the first product of the Impact Design 2.0 philosophy.
A recent report claims that the production H5X will
be christened the Tata Harrier. Along with the official name, Tata is expected
to reveal a bit of the exterior design via additional teasers.Engine duties
will be handled by Fiat's 2.0 L Multijet II diesel engine. Reports suggest that
there will be 6-speed manual and 9-speed automatic transmissions on offer. No
word on the availability of an AWD system.
The launch of the Tata Harrier (codename: Tata Q501)
will take place in early 2019. The SUV will enter production towards the end of
the current year at the FCA-Tata Motors manufacturing facility in Ranjangaon
near Pune.
