The now famed Kaziranga edition will be launched only for the SUV segment of the company. So, the micro-SUV Punch, compact SUV Nexon, mid-sized SUV Harrier and the larger Tata Safari would come in this limited edition.

The new Kaziranga edition is inspired by the famous Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros largely preserved at the national park. The exterior design is dominated by an exclusive grassland beige paint shade. It is contrasted with a blacked-out treatment for the roof, wheels, wing mirrors and all the other chrome trims. All these features provide a unique, rhinoceros look to the SUVs. The 4 SUVs also get a blacked-out rhino motif on its front fender and on the rear windscreen. There will also be special door scuff plates with ‘Kaziranga’ embedded on it.

Similarly, the powertrain options of the SUVs are the same as that of the regular editions, an 86hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine for the Punch; the Nexon with its 120hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 110hp, 1.5-litre diesel engines; the Harrier and Safari continue with the 170hp, 2.0-litre diesel engine. the transmission options will remain unchanged too.

The Kaziranga editions are a lot like the Gold and Dark editions of the SUVs. Tata motors is said to give a whole new look when it comes to their special editions. Take for example, the gold edition of Safari featured frost white and coffee bean paint options along with black 18-inch alloys and a lot more features. While the Black edition of Harrier and Nexon featured the Oberon black paint scheme. As for the interiors, these cars remained the same. The same is true for the upcoming Kaziranga editions, with only the attractive colour schemes standing out from the rest of the fleet.
