The H5X debuts Tata’s new OMEGA (Optimal Modular Efficient Global Advanced) platform. It features the Impact 2.0 design philosophy of the homegrown automaker. The H5X gets coupe-like silhouette, large pronounced wheel arches, daytime running LEDs, chunky looking tri-arrow housing on the bumper, skid plates, wraparound tail lamps with LED graphics and a dual-tone and rugged-looking bumpers.
The most striking feature of the Tata H5X is its virtually floating roof (from the rear) and a slightly sloping, coupe-like silhouette. It gets an upright fascia and packs a beefier bumper with rugged-looking skid plates. The grille design is something we have already seen on several Tatas. However, this grille is from the auto maker's latest Impact Design 2.0 philosophy and there's a clear hint of a hexagonal layout. In fact, it will be Tata’s first car to be based on the updated design language.
The grille is flanked by narrow, upward sweeping daytime running LEDs. In fact, both the grille and the headlamps virtually look like a single unit. Further, the tri-arrow like housing in the bumper looks chunky. We expect Tata to replace these with a proper set of headlamps in the final production-spec model.
Like its new premium hatchback concept, the character lines on the Tata H5X are sharper and more pronounced compared to existing Tata cars. It has a prominent kink post the C-pillar and the rear quarter glass tapers and merges with the rear windscreen. The setup makes the roofline virtually floating from the rear and the sides. It gets wraparound tail lamps with fancy LED graphics and a Nexon-like dual-tone bumper. The rear bumper also mimics the front with a chunky lamp cluster. The concept also features a large glass roof.
