12 new Tata cars coming in the next 4 years

Guenter Butschek, CEO of Tata Motors spells it out: “We will have 12 to 14 new top hats between ALFA and OMEGA in the next 3-4 years”. This is huge and it is likely to take Tata’s market coverage up massively, to around 90 percent. So what can we look forward to? Plans haven’t exactly been firmed up, but you can expect the range to start with Tata’s H2X or Hornbill, then the new Nexon will be built on the ALFA platform, and Tata could even push the limits of the platform and try and do a Creta rival. The latter, however, could also be built on a platform shared with Chinese carmaker and JLR partner Chery (see below).

Tata says cars built on the ALFA platform will stretch between 3.7-4.3m in length, the wheelbase is stretchable to a not-so-insignificant 2,450mm, the front and rear track can be altered, and should engineers and designers choose, the cars, SUVs, and MPVs could be as wide as 1,800mm too. They are likely to have the biggest boots in their class, there will be a flat floor in the rear, and quality levels are likely to take a big jump up too, as around 90 percent of the cars’ bodies will be built by robots, allowing for great precision, and greater uniformity of parts.

Tata Elxsi And AEye Unveil Integrated Robo Taxi

Bangalore based Tata Elxsi has unveiled an in-house developed RoboTaxi concept vehicle using AEye's iDAR platform. iDAR is the first fully software based smart sensor that supports dynamic ROI and cueing of sensors. It extends the range at which objects can be detected, classified and tracked to enhance the safety in an autonomous vehicle. Tata Elxsi's RoboTaxi is built on top of its software middleware platform Autonomai.

The fully autonomous vehicle encounters various scenarios, such as cross-traffic detection at a junction and round-about, follow the road ahead, and cueing the sensor with HD maps and V2X information.

I hope TATA launches a proper SUV on the X2 ladder frame with the BS6 2.2 Varicor engine to compliment the HEXA. When They could get the Safari on the X2 platform, a full size Body on laddder frame should not be difficult. It should do 80-100 units per month to justify volumes.

The company has revealed to select media that while the ‘Sierra’ brand will return as a brand-new vehicle, the ‘Safari’ moniker will reborn not s a model but as a suffix that will be used on the 4×4 variants of all its cars.

Speaking on the same, Pratap Bose, VP – Global Design, Tata Motors, has said,”We have 3 (iconic) names in the SUV segment – Sierra, Safari and Sumo. Safari we’ve merged it with the Hexa. The Hexa or any 4X4-able vehicle will be a ‘Safari’ edition.”

The Tata Hexa Safari Concept is based on the Tata Hexa 4×4. The handful of minor cosmetic updates that the show car carried went well with the off-roading prowess of the vehicle. For the uninitiated, the Hexa is available with an optional Borg Warner-sourced 4×4 system on select trims that makes the crossover highly capable off the road. Even the interior of the displayed vehicle had some minor enhancements in the form of updated upholstery and ‘Safari Edition’ badge on the dashboard.
