Tata HBX India Launch Expected Timeline Revealed: Here Are All Details
Tata Motors will be launching a new entry-level mini-SUV codenamed HBX in the Indian market. The company has showcased a concept version of the upcoming mini-SUV at the 2020 Auto Expo, which was held earlier this year.
According to the latest report from TeamBHP, the company is expected to launch the HBX aka Hornbill in May 2021. We expected Tata Motors to introduce the model much earlier in the country. However, the launch plans for the HBX was pushed forward to next year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

On the inside, the upcoming hatchback-SUV is expected to borrow most of its features from the premium hatchback. This includes the touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The 1.2-litre petrol engine produces 85bhp and 113Nm of torque and comes mated to a manual transmission. The company is also expected to offer the petrol engine with an optional AMT at a later date.
