Both the products will be completely different from one another in terms of designing and body language while sharing the same underpinnings. This will allow Tata Motors to keep the cost of production under check and offer their premium products at an affordable price range. After Harrier and the upcoming 7-seater Buzzard and the Altroz hatchback, Tata Motors will be launching the Hornbill by March/April 2020.
The upcoming Tata Altroz premium hatchback from the brand is based on the brand new ALFA (Advanced Light Flexible Agile) architecture while it will be competing in the market with the likes of Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai Elite i20, Volkswagen Polo, and the Honda Jazz.
