Tata Motors's 2024 line-up to include three new SUVs
What's the story
Tata Motors is gearing up to introduce three new SUVs in India in 2024. The list includes the Punch EV, Curvv SUV-coupe, and Harrier EV. The Punch EV will go head-to-head with the Citroen eC3, while the Curvv aims to attract buyers seeking a distinctive option without compromising SUV functionality. The Harrier EV will be Tata's sixth all-electric model and the first based on the Omega platform. We can also expect a facelifted model for its popular hatchback, the Altroz.
SUV #1
Tata Punch EV is expected to launch soon
Slated for an early 2024 launch, the Tata Punch EV is anticipated to be priced at around Rs. 13 lakh (ex-showroom). It's expected to offer more features than its petrol counterpart, such as LED headlamps, a sunroof, all-wheel disc brakes, and unique design elements. The interior may boast a 10.25-inch touchscreen and a steering wheel with an illuminated logo. Although battery and motor specifications haven't been disclosed, multiple options could be available to cater to a broader audience.
SUV #2
Tata Curvv will get multiple powertrain options
Set to launch in mid-2024 with an estimated starting price of Rs. 14 lakh (ex-showroom), the Tata Curvv will initially be offered as an EV with a range of around 500km from a dual-motor setup. A petrol variant featuring a new 1.2-liter TGDi turbocharged engine generating 125hp of power and 225Nm of peak torque will follow soon. With a distinctive sloping roofline and rugged design, it will compete with the Hyundai CRETA, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
SUV #3
Tata Harrier EV will come loaded with ADAS safety suite
The Tata Harrier EV is expected to hit the market in late 2024 with a starting price of about Rs. 27 lakh (ex-showroom). It will be equipped with a 60kWh battery pack and a dual-motor setup, with an estimated range of about 500km. The e-SUV will share features such as ADAS Suite, a 360-degree-view camera, ventilated seats, and a panoramic sunroof with its ICE counterpart.
