Tata Motors displayed the Buzzard Sport SUV-Geneva Edition, that was revealed as H5X concept last year. Interestingly, the SUV has been officially launched in India this January as the Harrier (five-seat). The Buzzard Sport SUV-Geneva Edition is based on the new-generation Optimal Modular Efficient Advanced (OMEGA) Architecture that has been developed jointly with Jaguar Land Rover. The underpinnings have been derived from Land Rover’s revered D8 platform, albeit it has been tweaked for the Indian conditions. However, the Buzzard Sport Geneva Edition gets a host of design changes on the outside keeping with the global markets.

Another important product that was revealed is the Altroz premium hatchback and its electrified version, Altroz EV. The conventionally powered and electric version of Altroz has been designed and developed on the all-new Agile Light Flexible Advanced (ALFA) Architecture. The versatile platform enables manufacturing multiple body styles with different engine options (petrol, diesel and electric). Characterized by flexible solutions, this platform could also be used for connected and hybrid vehicles at a later stage. The Altroz is the second model to sport company’s IMPACT 2.0 Design tenet. Tata is expected to launch the premium hatchback in mid-2019.
