Popular rendering artist Theophilus Chin has worked his magic and gave a virtual form to a pair of SUVs which is so far left to readers’ wild imagination. We are talking about the Tata Q501/Q502SUV duo which is reported to be under development.
Tata Q501/Q502 will have technical inputs from JLR so we could see the influence in the design as well.
The rendering artist has chosen the recently unveiled Hexa SUV(revamped Aria) as the design inspiration and we think the final result may not be far off the renderings. What we have is a bold looking Tata SUV with a modern appeal and right proportions. In other words, the Q501/502 could be a shortened versions of the Hexa SUV in terms of design.
To become the flagship passenger car offerings of the Indian automaker, the Q501 and Q502 are reported to have technical inputs from Jaguar Land Rover. Some reports even suggest that the twins could make use of Land Rover Discovery Sport’s underpinnings. Either way, the association with JLR is going to be the upcoming Tata premium crossovers’ trump card.
The rendering portrays an edgy design which incorporates sculpted bonnet, a honeycomb meshed grille with a trough shaped silver insert, wraparound projector headlamps and a sporty bumper with silver inserts.
The renderings have the Hexa concept as the source of inspiration.
The profile is characterized by a Range Rover Evoque -like silhouette with a subtly tapering roofline. The cantilevered roof, black lower body cladding, large alloy wheels and generously proportioned greenhouse would give the Q501/Q502 the necessary premium feel.
The rear fascia, like that of the Hexa’s, could get angular wraparound taillights, a prominent chrome strip and a massive silver diffuser with dual exhausts. While the Tata Q501 is expected to be a 5-seater, a Q502 would offer a third row.
Going by the previous reports, the twins are likely to adopt Fiat’s 2.0-litre MultiJet diesel enginewhich is set to be localized in India for the upcoming Jeep products rather than borrowing JLR’s new family of 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engines. However, it’s a bit too early to predict with reasonable accuracy.
The Q501 is expected to be a 5-seater while the Q502 would be a 7-seater.
The Tata Q501/502 are expected to be ready for the market sometime in 2017 and could be previewed by a design study before that. They are a part of the company’s massive SUV onslaught.
