Here we have listed all the new Tata cars that are waiting to be launched in India in the remaining parts of this year
Tata Motors is slowly climbing up the ladder with a wide range of cars that all started with the Nexon. Here are some of Tata’s cars that are expected to launch in the due course of this calendar year:
1. Punch Facelift
The facelift of the Punch is expected to be launched by the end of this year and we are excited, especially after looking at the Punch EV. The front and rear fascia will be completely revised, and we expect the overall design to be similar to the Punch.ev, while there may be a few changes here and there to differentiate the ICE version.
Under the hood, it is expected to continue the same 1.2-litre NA petrol engine that puts out 85bhp of power and 113Nm of torque. The transmission options include a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox. It will be getting the CNG kit option as well which comes with the famed twin-cylinder package and delivers slightly reduced power and torque outputs.
2. Altroz Racer
The Altroz is one of the best hatchbacks in the country with a spacious cabin and probably the only hatchback to come with a very frugal diesel engine. The new variant being launched is the performance version of the Altroz and it will have more than design changes. On the design front, it will get a newly designed sporty grille, a blacked-out bonnet with white racing stripes, a stylish 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
On the interior, it will be much more premium than the outgoing variants as it will get a bigger floating touchscreen unit, a newly designed fully digital instrument cluster that looks very modern and sporty, a 360-degree camera, and a heads-up display. Mechanically, it will be powered by a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine that puts out 120bhp of power and 170Nm of torque, which will be mated to a 6-speed manual transmission only.
3. Curvv EV
The Curvv concept blew everybody’s mind, and it showed the world what the designers at Tata are capable of. What was interesting was the fact that Tata has decided to put it into production and its EV version will be launched in the upcoming months. What we know so far is that Tata had displayed the Curvv at the Auto Expo that was held in January, and it was close to its production form.
The design will remain largely similar to the vehicle that was displayed at the Expo. At the same time, the interiors will be tweaked a bit as it still had some concept ideas about the centre console that contains the HVAC controls. Details about the battery are not revealed yet, but it is expected to provide a drivable distance of 450-500 km.
4. Harrier EV
Tata also showcased the Harrier EV at the Auto Expo and even this model was very close to production guise except for the interiors. This means the same design can be expected during the launch while the interiors will see a few changes to make them more production-ready. There will be a few upgrades that can be expected to differentiate it from the ICE versions.
Mechanical bits include the fact that it will be underpinned by the company’s Gen2 architecture which is a modular architecture set to cater for other models as well as different types of drive configurations. This means that the chassis is capable of supporting a two-motor setup (one on each axle) and can come with an AWD configuration. No details on the battery have been provided and we believe that the range will be around 500 km.
5. Curvv ICE
The Curvv ICE version is expected to be launched at least 3-4 months after the launch of the EV and the design will be more or less the same except for a few design tweaks to differentiate between the EV and the ICE variants. The interiors of the Curvv will be more premium than the Nexon and will come with all the bells and whistles.
Mechanically, it will be powered by a new 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine that puts out a more powerful 122bhp of power and 225Nm of torque when compared to the Nexon facelift. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT unit. There are rumours that the Curvv may come with a diesel variant as well but we will have to wait until the launch to know more about the same.
