Tata Motors is gearing up to transform the Indian automotive landscape with the introduction of five dynamic SUVs over the next six months. This ambitious lineup includes a mix of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and cutting-edge electric vehicles (EVs), with some models slated to hit the market during the vibrant Diwali festive season. Hereโs a detailed look at the upcoming Tata SUVs set to redefine style, performance, and innovation in India by March 2026.
1. Tata Punch Facelift
The updated Tata Punch is poised to make its grand entrance in October 2025, bringing a bold new look inspired by its electric sibling, the Punch EV. Spotted frequently during testing, the facelifted Punch will boast a sleek 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a modern two-spoke steering wheel, and a fully digital instrument cluster for a tech-savvy driving experience.
The interior will retain the familiar seats, dashboard layout, and upholstery from the current model, ensuring continuity in comfort. Under the hood, the Punch facelift will continue to house the reliable 1.2L three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with a choice of a five-speed manual or AMT gearbox. The CNG variant will also carry forward its existing specifications, catering to eco-conscious buyers seeking efficiency.
2 & 3. Tata Harrier and Safari Petrol
Tata Motors is set to electrify the mid-size SUV segment with the petrol-powered Harrier and Safari, launching in November 2025. Originally planned for March 2026, the launch has been fast-tracked to capitalize on the festive fervor of Diwali. Both SUVs will feature a brand-new 1.5L four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, delivering an impressive 166 bhp and 280 Nm of torque.
Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission, offering flexibility for varied driving preferences. Visually and feature-wise, the petrol Harrier and Safari will mirror their diesel counterparts, ensuring a premium experience. Priced competitively, starting at approximately Rs 12-13 lakh (ex-showroom), these SUVs are poised to attract a wide audience seeking performance and affordability.
4. Tata Sierra EV
The Tata Sierra EV is slated to debut in early 2026, showcasing a near-production version at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. This electric SUV will offer two battery optionsโ65 kWh and 75 kWhโborrowed from the Harrier EV, promising an exceptional driving range exceeding 600 km on a single charge. Equipped with a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) system as standard, the Sierra EV combines a striking boxy design with premium features, positioning it as a flagship in Tataโs electric lineup.
5. Tata Sierra ICE
Following the Sierra EV, the ICE-powered Sierra will arrive approximately three months later, around mid-2026. Sharing its design and interior features with the electric version, this model will offer a choice between a 1.5L turbo-petrol engine and a 2.0L diesel engine, both shared with the Harrier and Safari. This strategic powertrain sharing ensures robust performance and familiarity, while the Sierraโs bold aesthetics and advanced features will solidify Tataโs dominance in the SUV market.
Tata Vision for SUV Supremacy
With these five launches, Tata Motors is set to command the largest SUV portfolio in India, blending innovation, style, and sustainability. From the compact and refreshed Punch to the luxurious Sierra EV and ICE models, Tata is catering to diverse consumer needs while setting new benchmarks in the Indian automotive industry. As the festive season approaches, anticipation is high for these game-changing SUVs that promise to elevate the driving experience.
