Sales graph of Tata Motors has been rising at a scorching pace from the last few years, and it seems to be shooting up in coming years. Backed with the new-generation IMPACT Design 2.0 philosophy and futuristic approach, the company aims to become the second largest carmaker by 2020. Tata has already proved its mettle in the passenger vehicle segment with its new breed of cars including Tiago, Nexon, Tigor and Hexa. Besides that, the carmaker has several exciting products in the pipeline such as Tata H5X SUV, 45X premium hatchback and E-Vision based premium sedan.

Scheduled to launch early next year, the H5X is Tata’s first SUV to adorn new-generation IMPACT Design 2.0 philosophy. It’s also the brand’s first car to be based on the new-generation ‘Optimal Modular Efficient Global Advanced’ architecture, which has been developed jointly with Jaguar Land Rover. Derived from the Land Rover D8 platform, this chassis is claimed to be designed especially for Indian terrains. It indicates that the SUV will posses some serious off-road capabilities. Read – Tata H7X SUV To Challenge Toyota Fortuner

Tata H5X Price in India 

Minimum Rs 12 lakh
Maximum Rs 20 lakh

The last few years have been quite fruitful for the home-grown carmaker in the Indian market, thanks to its new business strategy and a range of capable products. Competitive pricing has also been a key factor behind the success story of the company.  Following the same approach, the carmaker will continue to strengthen its position in different segments be it hatchback, compact SUV or SUV. Therefore, we can expect that the H5X will be priced competitively against its arch rivals. Powertrain of the 5-seater is likely to be borrowed from the Jeep Compass – i.e. 2.0-litre Multijet diesel.

Developed with high-level of localization at Fiat’s Rajangaon plant, this engine will surely help the carmaker to achieve aggressive pricing. Aiming to further curb its production cost, Tata might replace some expensive aluminium components with steel units. The new Tata H5X price in India might start from Rs 12 lakh for the entry-level variant and go all the way up to Rs 20 lakh for the top-spec model. If launched at this price point, the new Tata SUV will face challenge from cars like Hyundai Tucson and Jeep Compass.

Tata H5X Specifications 

Engine 2.0-litre Multijet turbocharged diesel
Max Power 140bhp
Max Torque
Gearbox MT & 9-speed AT
Drivetrain System 2WD & 4WD

Engine specifications of the new Tata SUV are still under the wraps. However, the reports suggest that the H5X could be offered with the Fiat sourced 2.0-litre Multijet diesel powertrain that also does duty in the Jeep Compass. On the latter one, the oil burner generates a maximum power output of 170bhp at 3,750rpm and 350Nm of peak torque between 1,750rpm – 2,500rpm. For the H5X, however, this motor could be tuned for two power outputs – 148bhp with 350Nm and 170bhp with 350Nm. The H5X five-seater SUV will make use of the 148bhp unit, while the 170bhp state of tune will be offered on the bigger H7X 7-seater SUV.

Besides sharing the powertrain, the Tata H5X will borrow the ZF-sourced 9-speed automatic transmission from the Jeep Compass. Produced locally, this gearbox has been designed for the four-wheel-drive vehicles and is longer than the standard 6-speed transmission unit. Features such AWD (all-wheel-drive) system with Land Rover’s Terrain Response Program and all-independent suspension system could also be carried over from the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Tata might also offer multi drive mode on the SUV carline. Check Out – Upcoming Tata Cars in India

Tata H5X Mileage – Expected Fuel Efficiency

City Around 15kmpl (expected)
Highway Over 17kmpl (expected)

Rumor has it that Tata’s new compact SUV could be offered with the 2.0L Multijet diesel engine. This motor has already been used in the Jeep Compass. This oil burner is frugal in nature and promises a punchy mid-range performance. On the Jeep Compass, the 2.0L motor delivers a claimed fuel economy of 17.1kmpl. With slightly heavier body built than the Compass, the Tata H5X is estimated to deliver a mileage around 15kmpl – 17kmpl. Check Out – Tata Nexon Aero Price & Pictures

Tata’s new 5-seater premium SUV will be designed on the new-generation Optimal Modular Efficient Global Advanced (OMEGA) platform, which is developed in collaboration with Jaguar Land Rover. This architecture is essentially soured from Land Rover Discovery Sport’s L550 platform. Designed for the rough terrains, this robust L550 architecture will enhance the overall handling, driving dynamics and off-road capabilities of the car.

Interestingly, the H5X is one of the first Tata cars to be based on the new-generation IMPACT Design 2.0 design language. The shift to the more evolved IMPACT design language will make the SUV look aggressive and bold. Styling elements such as high-mounted LED headlamps and a more prominent three-dimensional ‘Humanity Line’ that underlines the headlamps and the front grille give an aggressive appeal to its front profile. The fog lamps have the signature ‘tri-arrow’ pattern. Other key features include larger side air vents, three-element skid plates with inserts, front skid plate and chunky clamshell-like hood. Read About – Tata Tiago JTP | Tata Tigor JTP

Featuring the new design language, the SUV will have the segment-leading HMI (Human Machine Interface) displays with ‘clear and intuitive’ user interface. While interior design and feature details are yet to be revealed by the carmaker, the latest spy pictures give a rough idea about its appearance.
