Tata Scarlet Compact SUV: Tata to Launch New Compact SUV, 7 New Cars to Come by 2030
Tata Motors is on a mission to make its SUV segment stronger. Now the company is going to launch a brand-new compact SUV – Tata Scarlet, which is one of the 7 new models of Tata coming by 2030. Yes, you heard it right! Tata to launch new compact SUV, 7 new cars to come by 2030 – and Scarlet is going to be a bold part of that mission.
🔷 Rugged and Stylish – Scarlet’s Unique Design Approach
The design of Tata Scarlet will be boxy and upright – inspired by Tata Sierra. This SUV will be quite different in design from the Tata Nexon, with a solid, lifestyle-focused appeal instead of sporty curves. The Scarlet is being made for people who want adventure-ready styling, road presence and practicality.
🔧 Powerful and Flexible Powertrain Options
Multiple engine options are expected for the Scarlet, which will give variety to buyers:
- 1.2L turbo-petrol (from Nexon)
- 1.2L direct-injection turbo-petrol (from Curvv)
- New 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol
- A diesel variant is also possible
There is also good news for electric vehicle lovers. Tata is planning to bring a Scarlet EV variant, which can have a dual-motor AWD setup – perfect for those who love weekend getaways and off-road thrills. AWD is unlikely in the ICE version due to packaging and cost constraints.
🧭 Between Nexon and Punch – but with a distinct identity
Tata Scarlet will compete in the price segment of Nexon and Punch – but Tata will position it slightly differently. This SUV will be for buyers who want a distinct personality along with premium design, bold looks, and practical features.
Nexon ICE pricing ranges from ₹8 lakh – ₹15.6 lakh, and the EV version goes upto ₹12.49 lakh – ₹17.19 lakh (ex-showroom). Scarlet could also be in a similar price band, but Tata will strategise pricing in a way that the customer base of both products does not overlap.
⚡ Tata’s Future EV Strategy – Scarlet, Kuno, Terra
Scarlet is not just a product but part of Tata’s EV expansion vision. Tata now wants to offer 2 EV options in every segment – one entry-level and one premium. Apart from Scarlet, two more compact electric SUVs named Kuno and Terra will be launched, which will expand Tata’s EV portfolio.
🚗 Tata Sierra Confirmed Comeback
Another big news for Tata fans – Tata Sierra, which was an iconic name, is now making a comeback with new design and technology. By the end of 2025, this SUV will be launched in both ICE and EV versions. Its near-production model has also been revealed at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, which has increased the excitement in the market.
✅ Final Verdict: Should You Wait for Tata Scarlet?
If you are a fan of a fresh design, powerful engine options, EV tech and bold SUV look – then Tata Scarlet Compact SUV is worth waiting. Tata wants to clearly show that it designs not just cars, but experiences – and Scarlet will be proof of that vision. And this is why Tata cars rule the hearts of people.
