Here’s a surprise – Tata Motors has released a teaser video reveals little about the new models, we can see Tata’s upcoming three new offerings which the world has never seen before, scheduled for a world debut at 2018 Auto Expo on February 7, 2018.
2018 Auto Expo message from Guenter Butschek CEO and MD, Tata Motors.
The three new cars under the wraps are expected to be the H5 (codename) SUV that will rival the Jeep Compass, the second model will be the X451 premium hatchback to take on the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, and the final model will be an all-new Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV). All these three cars are based on their IMPACT Design 2.0.
Not much is known about these new Tata Cars. As per reports, the Q501 aka H5 will replace the Safari Storme. It is reported to be underpinned by Land Rover Discovery Sport’s L550 platform and will be available in both 5- and 7-seater options. It is said to be powered by a 2.0-litre MultiJet diesel engine from FCA that also powers Jeep Compass.

While, the upcoming X451 premium hatchback will take on a host of established models including the Maruti Baleno, Honda Jazz, Hyundai i20 and the likes in the segment. The Expo model like to be called the Impact Design 2.0 study, evolving in design from that seen on the Tiago. Under the hood, the X451 is likely to retain the 1.2-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel from the Nexon.
Nothing much is known about the all-new Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) at the moment, the company promises to expand its complete vehicle line-up this year and we do expect to see an important model in the light commercial vehicle space. Tata Motors dominates the LCV space with the Ace and we can expect to see something new and innovative to make it in this segment soon.
