It was in the news that Tata is preparing not one but two premium SUVs which will sit over their Safari Storme and Aria range and will be all-new products, developed with the technical help of Jaguar Land Rover.

And in an interesting update at Business Standard, new details about these SUVs have been revealed.. Here we list them for you..

  • The new SUVs are codenamed as Q501 and Q502
  • Q501 will be a 5-seater vehicle whereas the Q502 will have the capacity to carry 7 people which is more the norm in this segment.
  • Tata is targeting sales volumes of around 50,000 a year combining both.
  • An RFQ (Request for Qualification) has been sent to suppliers earlier this month.
  • Both the SUVs will carry new 2.0L Multijet diesel engine
  • Apart from our domestic markets, Tata has plans to export them to international markets like South Africa, West Asia and Indonesia.

We can not predict at this point if these will be independent products or variants of each other. But what we can expect are some real interesting products which should boost off some technology marvels considering that there would/should be a big hand of Jaguar Land Rover on these two models.

50,000 is not a low figure and if you talk about the current trends, both Safari and Storme combined do monthly sales of about 700-800 units only.

Meanwhile, Tata is all set to launch a Safari Storme facelift in India very soon and it is expected to carry a lot of enhancements, a few on the cosmetic front but more on the technical front. There is a possibility of the company introducing automatic transmission as well.
