The new Tata inspired SUV is scheduled for launch in 2028 and will be developed on a Tata Motors platform, with production and assembly in India through the Stellantis-Tata JV. The vehicle is also expected to be exported to around 50 countries.
According to Gregoire Olivier, Head of the Asia Pacific region at Stellantis, Tata Motors has been a partner for more than 20 years and will provide a platform for the development of the new Jeep model. He stated that the upcoming SUV is one of five globally oriented products being developed by Stellantis in Asia through local partnerships and cost-efficient engineering ecosystems. Olivier added that the India-developed Jeep project is intended to support an “asset light” operating structure while maintaining global competitiveness.
This Stellantis ‘Made-in-India’ global Jeep SUV will be developed and assembled in partnership with Tata Motors. Slated for 2028, the upcoming model will be manufactured at their joint venture facility in Ranjangaon, Maharashtra, and exported to over 50 countries (which might include Malaysia).
The new Jeep SUV is expected to utilise Tata Motors’ highly competitive modular architecture—likely the ARGOS platform that underpins models like the Tata Sierra.
The vehicle is part of Stellantis’ global ‘FASTLANE 2030’ growth strategy. India is positioned as a primary export and low-cost engineering hub.
FaSTLAne 2030 ambitions starts with more than 60 new vehicle launches and 50 significant refreshes, across all brands and powertrain energies, including 29 battery-electric vehicles, 15 plug-in hybrid or range-extended electric vehicles, 24 hybrid electric vehicles and 39 ICE/mild hybrid electric vehicles.
The new Jeep is expected to feature petrol, hybrid, and electric vehicle (EV) options to suit global markets. Both companies are evaluating cross-sharing engines. Tata is looking into possibly using the 1.5-litre Turbo GDi petrol engine in future models, while Tata has licensed rights to further develop Stellantis’s 2.0-litre Multijet diesel engine.
