Stellantis has confirmed it will use a Tata Motors platform to develop and manufacture an all-new Jeep SUV in India for global markets. The announcement came at the group's 2026 Investor Day, where Gregoire Olivier, Stellantis Asia Pacific COO, said Tata Motors would provide "a highly competitive platform" for a new Jeep vehicle that will be "developed in India, assembled in India, in our Stellantis-Tata JV in India, for the world." The SUV is targeted for a 2028 launch and will be exported to over 50 countries across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and South America. While Stellantis has not officially named the platform, industry sources indicate Jeep will use the ARGOS architecture, the same modular platform that underpins the recently launched Tata Sierra. - ARGOS allows for AWD, which is non-negotiable for the Jeep brand - Tata will also supply Sierra’s 1.5-litre TGDi petrol engine which meets Euro 7 and BS7 norms - India made Jeep SUV will be exported to 50 countries abroad ARGOS, which stands for All-Terrain Ready, Omni-Energy and Geometry Scalable, supports petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric powertrains, and has been engineered to accommodate AWD drive, which is a non-negotiable requirement for the Jeep brand. Brand guidelines require every Jeep model line to offer at least one four-wheel-drive variant. The deal is structured as a platform and engine supply arrangement. Tata Motors will license the ARGOS platform to Stellantis and supply its 1.5-litre turbocharged direct injection petrol engine, the same unit that powers the Sierra, Harrier and Safari. Jeep will independently design, engineer and develop the vehicle's body, interior and all other components. Tata Motors has no co-development role and no financial stake in the product's commercial success. Global Stellantis teams, rather than the Chennai-based India unit, are expected to lead vehicle development and sourcing.
