Tata Motors is working on Harrier and Raptor platform

Tata Motors has been working on two new platform with inputs from the Jaguar Land Rover team. The two platforms are Harrier and Raptor, and these will be utilised towards building SUVs. The Raptor will be the more affordable platform and it will be used to make the new-generation Sumo. This will be the first product on the Raptor and we can expect one more UV to be based on this. The new-generation Sumo will meet the  future crash norms, will be lighter, coming with a 4×4 and a more powerful engine.

The Harrier platform will be making the new Safari and this will be looking a lot similar to that of a Hummer in styling. The Harrier platform will have atlas two SUVs, one will be the new-generation Safari and the other shall be the Creta competition. This will be a smaller SUV and in manner Tata Motors will have a complete range of SUVs, starting with Sumo Raptor, Nexon, Creta rival and the Safari.

These products are being made with Land Rover’s existing technology, however JLR inputs are already being utilised on several Tata products.

The Hexa is amongst first products to get a high input from the JLR team. The Safari 400, which is coming next year will be another product with a good amount of input from JLR. The British marquee has been working closely with its parent company for developing the next-generation products.

The other plans that the company has are of a Honda City rival and an Ertiga competition, which will be made on a modular platform. These products will take some while they are announced by the company.
