Tata Nexon platform could be used on Jaguar Land Rover models

The managing director of Tata??™s Australian distributor, Fusion Automotive, has revealed some new details about the relationship between Tata and Jaguar Land Rover.

Speaking to Drive, Darren Bowler said the companies are collaborating a number of models but there won't be any badge engineering between vehicles from Jaguar, Land Rover and Tata. As he explained, "You??™re going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won??™t see a JLR with a Tata badge on it or a Tata with a Jaguar badge on it or a Land Rover badge on it.???

Bowler also revealed the Tata Nexon concept rode on a new platform that will be shared by the companies. He didn't go into specifics but said the platform could be used on the next-generation Evoque or a Jaguar model. That news probably won't sit well with everyone but Bowler compared to Volkswagen's MQB platform that underpins everything from the Golf to the Audi TT.
