TL;DR
Jeep will build its upcoming India-made mid-sized SUV on Tata Motors' ARGOS platform, enabling cost reduction, increased localization, and expanded market reach.
Jeep has confirmed its plans to develop future products for the Indian market based on a platform sourced from Tata Motors. This strategic collaboration, announced by Stellantis Group (Jeep's parent company) at its 2026 Investor Day, signifies a major shift in the Indian automotive industry, moving from technology importation to indigenous platform utilization by a global brand. The new mid-sized SUV, expected to launch in 2028, will leverage Tata Motors' ARGOS platform, which also underpins the popular Tata Sierra.
The partnership aims to help Jeep reduce development costs, increase localization, and accelerate product launches, enabling the brand to introduce SUVs at more accessible price points in India. The ARGOS platform is a versatile, multi-energy modular architecture, supporting petrol, hybrid, and electric powertrains, along with essential All-Wheel Drive technology for Jeep's models. This joint venture between Tata Motors and Stellantis will see the new SUV developed and manufactured in India at the Ranjangaon facility, with plans for export to over 50 countries across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and South America.
