Tata Motors has announced that it will launch the Gravitas SUV in India in the last quarter of the current financial year i.e. between January-March 2021. The car was expected to be announced this year but the plans got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be a full-sized SUV with a premium cabin and a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine.
