The domestic carmaker is anticipated to launch 10 to 12 new cars in the next 3-4years establishing a footprint of over 90 percent in the market. All the passenger vehicles are likely to be underpinned by Tata’s very own ALFA and OMEGA platform. While the upcoming mini SUV, EVs, sedan and MPV vehicles will be based on the smaller and flexible ALFA platform, the bigger OMEGA platform shall form the base for the full-size SUVs like the Gravitas and the Hexa-replacement. 

The upcoming proffer from Tata’s stable is the seven-seater Gravitas slated to be launched early next year. The model was last showcased at the Auto Expo 2020 and will be based on the five-seater Tata Harrier. Under the hood, it is expected to be powered by the BS6 compliant 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel engine making 168bhp and 350Nm torque coupled with a six-speed manual and six-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
