Here is my wishful thinking for future tata suv lineup.

Nexon already competing in <4M segment. Priced 6L - 11L.

H5X should go against compass, creta & duster. About 4300mm length. Priced 10L - 16L. I would name it Tata Sierra.

H7X should go against XUV500. About 4600mm length. Priced 14L - 20L. would name it Tata Safari.

Old Safari will continue (due to defense production) as only "storme" in one or two variants.

Hexa will continue in one or two variants for taxi & MUV segment going against innova.

In many ways feel the Hexa would be better than H7X being a Ladder frame like Fortuner and Endeavour. Plus it is already more capable in 99% of scenarios than the Storms. So restricting it to MUV segment would be sad. Would like to instead see a AWD AT version HEXA being released this year.

+1. Amen to the sentiment, ACM! Being a body-on-chassis structure the Hexa would be streets ahead of the monocoque items where durability, abuse-friendliness and serious off-roading is concerned. If they could do something (difficult, I know) to keep that kerb wt in check, the Hexa could be India's answer to those earlier icons, the Pajero & the Patrol GR.

I think the X2 platform was extensively modified for creating the Aria on which the Hexa is based and they did manage to cut down 100-200 Kgs as widely reported when the Safari Storme was released. They might have to do some extensive platform level redesign to get more weight saving which is unlikely as they are calling the LR platform as the one for future mid to large sized cars.

Rushlane predicts the H5X to be priced "under 12 lakhs" -

The production version of the H5X will be revealed to the world in November 2018, as per a Carwale report.

The big reveal will be followed by a nation-wide campaign before the SUV is eventually launched in Q1 2019.

There have been many speculations regarding the H5X and Tata has been tight-lipped about what the final product would be. The safest guess is a rival to the Hyundai Creta - a five-seater premium crossover SUV to compete in one of the fastest growing segments in the Indian market as of now.
But knowing that the underpinnings have been derived from the Freelander platform, the H5X could also be a Jeep Compass-rival in the making. Also with the new platform designed to be modular, the H5X can also spawn a seven-seat SUV, something that could ideally wear the Safari-badge with pride.

Is it just me or this mule has the actual headlights with DRLs rather than the ugly temporary round ones?
Looks beautiful. Going to be a difficult wait for it to be launched!

Some more info on the production-spec H5X SUV, as per ACI:

The production-spec SUV will sport a similar floor pan and steering gear, and an all-independent suspension. While some of the aluminium bits will be replaced by more affordable steel parts to keep costs in check, Tata insiders claim the SUV's kerb weight is unlikely to exceed 1,650kg. The wheelbase is expected to remain the same as the Discovery Sport's 2,741mm.

While our exclusive images showed a six-speed manual transmission as standard, a ZF-sourced nine-speed automatic transmission is also on the cards. Tata has developed a new four-wheel-drive system for the model and is also expected to offer the engine with multiple drive modes.

One possibility is the camouflaged one had suffered a break-down.
