Apparently Tata Motors' board has given the go-ahead to the development of two SUVs with engineering assistance from Land Rover. If things go according to the plan, then the SUVs are expected to be launched in 2017.

The new SUVs will reportedly be built on a platform shared between Land Rover and Tata, and house JLR's Ingenium engines under the hood. Furthermore, the British luxury carmaker will help tune the SUVs' performance and handling and the new models will use about 50 per cent parts from the current Freelander.
