While these plans are still in the initial stages of evaluation, an 8-seat MPV from the company could compete with the likes of the Mahindra Marazzo and the Toyota Innova Crysta. 

The OMEGA platform is a scalable architecture than can support models ranging from 4.3 to 4.8 metres in length. These could include 5 and 7-seat SUVs like the Harrier and Buzzard, a full-size sedan and even a 7/8-seat MPV and 5-seat SUV coupe.
