This new SUV has been codenamed as the Q502, and it will be making into production next year. We expect this new SUV to be showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo. Tata Motors had showcased the Tiago, Tigor and even the Nexon at the last Expo, which got into production post that. Now, this is an all new SUV.

This new SUV will be coming with a 1.5-litre diesel engine that churns about 120bhp of power and will be offered with a six-speed manual transmission. The 1.2-litre petrol engine will be producing close to 130bhp of power and this will also get six-speed manual. The other important aspect of this SUV will be there could be an all-wheel drive in the near future. This will also have multiple driving modes.

This new SUV will go up against the Hyundai Creta, Renault Duster and the Renault Captur. This will mean that the new SUV will be an exciting product for the brand. This new SUV will be filling the gap between the Nexon and the Hexa. This will be a five-seater and offer dual airbags and ABS as a standard feature. There will be multiple features on offer, this will include keyless entry, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, reverse camera, push start and stop, cruise control and even rear AC vents.

Tata Motors will be the only maker that will have SUVs in the compact and mid-size segment. At the moment, Hyundai has the Creta and the i20 Active, Honda has the BR-V and even the WR-V, but both aren’t close in any form. Nexon is a nSUV and not a crossover version of a hatchback.

It has high ground clearance and isn’t derived from any hatchback, like the WR-V or the i20 Active.

Tata Creta SUV Price

The pricing of this new SUV will be about Rs 9 lakhs and will go upto Rs 14 lakhs. Tata Motors will overlap it with the Nexon making it an exciting product to consider for many buyers. The lower variants of this SUV will overlap with the Nexon and Tata is also working on a premium hatchback, codenamed as X451, which will also overlap here. We are certain that this new SUV will be a lot more rugged and stylish in looks.
