There is a Harman office inside Global Axis Tech Park, it makes sense that they were probably testing it out.

I think I should scan the parking lot daily.

Oops! I stand corrected, thank you.

But this is definitely a test mule carrying the Harman system. According to a source, the Q50x twins carry the same 8-speaker Harman system as the Nexon, although another source claims that a sub-woofer will be added to the setup for the twins.

From what I have heard, testing of the audio system is done mostly at Bangalore, but have also heard of some @ Cochin.

But wonder why the camouflage when in Bangalore, but not so for the mules running around Pune.

The test mules in Pune have Disco Sport top hat but are testing the actual running gear (Engine + Gearbox + Suspension + Steering + Brakes). That portion is already hidden so no need for camouflage.

The Bangalore test units are actual design prototypes sent for audio tuning with actual interior styling and geometry (expected to be totally different from the Disco Sport). Also the exterior (top hat) is as per production styling, hence the need to camouflage. With passage of time, expect the Disco Sport top hats to disappear altogether and the population of these camouflaged Design prototypes and subsequently pre-production prototypes to increase.

Wow Tata has something nice coming up! Looks very clean and fairly modern. Not an old school SUV for sure; design language seems more on the lines of the Volvo SUVs. Hope something is revealed tomorrow!

Re: Rumour: Tata Motors planning 2 SUVs with Land Rover inputs

Love the way T-Bhpians connect the dots
Waiting for someone to upload the Bangalore scoop pic online.

Having seen this test mule in person - I am optimistic about this car having build quality similar to Jeep compass.

Re: Rumour: Tata Motors planning 2 SUVs with Land Rover inputs

Looking at the spyshots, the shape reminds me of the Range Rover Velar. Side profile is similar if not exact. Tata might add some elements to make it look a bit different. It won't be exact like the RR Velar.

This one looks promising and Tata will sure package it well and also will be sturdy just like Nexon & Tiago going by their recent involvement in Accidents. Good going Tata.

If this is priced well, It could surely hit Creta & Compass sales heavily. This is the SUV to watch out in the upcoming Auto Expo.

May be Tiago/ Tigor Sport. Doesn't seem to be SUV profile

It sits slightly lower than traditional Body-On-Frame SUVs, hence the design is more crossover/coupe-ish towards the rear.

Discovery underpinnings, so the final production form will shape up like a crossover SUV.

Will be interesting to see if Tata is aware of this.

Re: Rumour: Tata Motors planning 2 SUVs with Land Rover inputs

More spy shots appear. Still not convinced whether its a Tata or not.

Yes, It is a Tata. The alloys are similar as seen in the eariler spyshots.

The proportions and silhouette are so similar to the Land Rover, I feel they might use the same body with different headlight and tail light designs.

It definitely looks like part of the Q501/Q502 family. Look at the shape of that wheel arch. Also, look at the rear quarter area of the rear door window. It matches up quite well with the spyshots. This could definitely be the longer 7-seater variant. And the alloy wheels of the concept that was teased by Pratap Bose doesn't look too outlandish for a production vehicle. Could the design of this car really be that bold even in the production guise?

I'm just too excited to wait patiently
