FridgeFreezer Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-tata-harrier-based-range-rover-evoque-platform Quote The Harrier will share a significant amount under the skin with current Land Rover models, showing Tata’s push upmarket from its budget roots. It sits on the brand’s Omega modular architecture, which is a version of Land Rover’s D8 platform adapted to suit Indian road conditions. Discuss!

Scotts90 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Ok, I'll be the first...do you think it'll be out before the "new" defender? Lol It's going to be another one that you'll need to read the badge to tell what it is as they're all merging into the same style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightpot Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 No wonder they don't want to show much of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 I thought it might offer clues on a potential platform for the new Defender - a simplified/beefed up version of the Disco running gear would certainly make sense.

Peaklander Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Why do people moan when they haven't a clue what the new Defender will look like? It's pure speculation that it will follow the SUVs even though it's apparently going to be a Defender, which has never been one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic-al Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Meh to the car. What I want to know is that if the UK plant is at capacity where will they be making the discovery platform? I assume one of their Indian plants, so will we then start seeing Indian parts coming this way? In other news Jeep arn't bringing the V6 petrol to the UK anymore in the new Wrangler just a boring 2.0 And HMRC are rumoured to be reviewing BIK tax on pickups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 ....discuss? well Indian market stuff tends to be back street repairable so might be more spanner friendly than UK models? . Its primary market must be India, so makes 100% sense to build it on site. Some parts production will no doubt be 'rationalised' but will the quality be what we want? doubt it. If,..... (big if, methinks) it comes here then the best side effect we can hope for is the pricing of the disco and jag platforms has to be adjusted to compensate?

Smego Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 "which is a version of Land Rover’s D8 platform adapted to suit Indian road conditions" sounds perfect for UK potholes then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
