Tata Motors is all set to launch its Tata Merlin SUV on 27th of September. While the overall appearance of the SUV is expected to remain as that of the Tata Safari, many cosmetic changes have accounted for the new exteriors based on the Jaguar Land Rover models. Despite the introduction of Tata Merlin SUV, the Indian manufacturer envisages Tata Safari and the upcoming Merlin to co-exist. The Tata Merlin price in India is expected to be around Rs 10 lakh to counter the upcoming Mahindra SUV, XUV 500. With Mahindra XUV 500 price around Rs 15 lakh, the Tata Merlin is expected to be a volume puller with respect to sales.
