Tata Motor has revealed the platform which will underpin Tata Harrier H5X. It will be built upon the Optimal Modular Efficient Global Advanced Architecture platform, or OMEGARC for short, which is brought from the Land Rove’s D8 architecture.

As what Tata claims, this platform could do an excellent job in ironing out all the potholes and bumps on terrible road condition with the optimal torsional and bending stiffness. It is also expected to bring the same driving dynamics that present on the out-going Land Rover as they both share the same platform, as well as other components like the steering gear, the all-dependent suspension system. Tata Harrier is likely to bear a great off-road ability and an excellent riding quality.
