A More Luxurious Tata Gravitas With 6 Seats Is In The Works

• The Tata Gravitas will debut at Auto Expo 2020.
• Expected features include a touchscreen infotainment, JBL sound system, and a sunroof.
• Will be powered by a BS6-compliant 2.0-litre Multijet diesel engine.
• Expected to be priced at Rs 1 lakh more than the Harrier, which starts from Rs 13.44 lakh (ex-showroom).

Tata Motors could offer the upcoming Gravitas SUV with a 6-seater option as a test mule was spotted with this configuration. The inclusion of a 6-seater variant means the Gravitas’ direct rival will be the upcoming MG Hector 6-seater. We expect Tata to offer the Gravitas in 7-seater/8-seater versions as well. The Tata Gravitas will make its debut at Auto Expo 2020. 

 

The test mule spotted here was seen with aircraft-style captain seats for middle-row occupants. We expect these chairs to recline, slide, fold, and have lumbar support as well. We could also notice the presence of beige-colour upholstery on the door pads. Therefore, it’s safe to assume the Gravitas could feature the lighter-colour upholstery, unlike the Harrier’s brown coloured interiors.  

Moving on to the front, the test mule was spotted with an electric parking brake with auto-hold function. Other expected features include an 8.8-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a sunroof, climate control, cruise control, drive modes, terrain modes, a coloured multi-info display as well as auto headlamps and wipers. Expected safety features include six airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, a rear view camera, hill descent control, and electronic stability program.

Under the hood, the Gravitas will be offered with the BS6-compliant 2.0-litre Multijet engine. Unlike the Harrier, the Gravitas will develop 170PS of power and 350Nm of torque. It’ll be offered with a 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter gearbox.  

We expect the Gravitas to hit showrooms by April. It’s expected to be priced at Rs 1 lakh more than the Harrier, which currently starts from Rs 13.44 lakh (ex-showroom). Its rivals include the Mahindra XUV500 and MG Hector 6-seater.
