Tata Motors has unveiled the HBX mini-SUV concept. Codenamed the Hornbill, the production version of the HBX will rival the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Ignis and the Mahindra KUV100 when launched.
“The HBX SUV showcar, a product which will define a completely new segment, offering a stunning package of true SUV design, nimble performance, and class leading space” said Guenter Bustchek, CEO & MD, Tata Motors.
The Tata HBX features a split headlamp design, with the upper unit housing the DRL and turn indicators while the lower unit houses the head lights. Also on offer is a large single slat grille, C-pillar mounted rear door handles, dual-tone alloy wheels, high mounted stop lamp and rear bumper mounted number plate recess. The concept car feature rugged knobby tyres with the spare placed on a roof-mounted carrier.
Inside, the Tata HBX concept features a free-standing touchscreen infotainment system. The production model is expected to be powered by an 86bhp 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission and an AMT unit. The production version of the HBX is expected to be launched later this year.
