Could this be the next Safari? Will be right in time as well with the current Storme due to be shelved by end 2019(?). Or maybe it'll be a Safari in spirit, being their flagship, just like Safari was till Aria came along. Somehow I feel they may not want to carry on the Safari brand forward in this segment. Time will tell.

Curious to know why TATA just couldn't keep it simple like this, and had to go for two quirky additions at the rear instead!

Because keeping it simple will make this SUV look like every other suv in the market. i feel it is the color which making the looks of a Buzzard bland. We should wait for other colors. It will look great in darker shades.

I think the hullabaloo around the kink in the rear quarter glass and that extension has been blown way out of proportion. In fact, I think these quirks (both in the Altroz and Buzzard) are what is going to differentiate the Tatas from the rest of the market. At least to me, these cars are a breath of fresh air in an otherwise plain Jane market of cars. I appreciate the fact that Tata is at least trying to break convention and bringing in different designs.

Like others said, looks are subjective. What one person likes might not be liked by someone else. At the end of the day, I don't think someone buying this car would ignore every other feature this car has (or might have) and judge the car solely on that rear window and extension. And neither should we

I was passively checking out the Buzzard. Would I be wrong in assessing this to be a 5+2 seater and not a full-time 7 seater? That last row can't be all that roomy since there's only a 6 cm body length increase over the Harrier's.

Well I sure hope Tata Motors does not use the Buzzard (rhymes with absurd) moniker in India. Wonder why they didn't consider "Condor" as a choice?

Here it is in all its glory, the seven seater version of the Harrier called the Buzzard. Buzzard for the Geneva visit only I guess as the Harrier was named Buzzard Sport over there. Maybe coz Toyota has the Harrier and can't be used overseas.

We've got Buzzards in India, but no Condors.

I am not too bothered by the rear 3-quarter design or even the name. I am wondering if this will at least have the auto+4wd combo. Anything on the features?

Autocar India just released a footage of the H7X and it indeed is named as Buzzard.

Rear seats although not spacious, but are practical enough with convenience of a rear AC vent, usb and audio jack. Automatic is also going to be on offer.

All eyes should now be on the pricing and the premium it commands over harrier.

I liked the design elements of the rear quarter and I must say that it will definitely make Buzzard stand out from other cars in the market.
Seeing the Autocar video, I must say that Buzzard is more of 5+2 seater than a proper 7 seater.
The colour choice of all the display cars except the Altroz EV is too bland.

Kudos to Tata for thinking different and going with the design language. I like the exterior elements and the color too. Please find a better name for it.

Buzzard... really!! are there any nomenclature standards they follow. The name seems apt for a 'hearse van' model. Nobody's seen any westerns or read any cowboy comics??
How can you name it after a vulture?
(No, I have nothing against the bird, probably the most important animal in the food chain. But you still wonder why...)

Apparently, "Buzzard" is the name chosen for the international market, while it looks like India might get a different name.

The Harrier is called the "Buzzard Sport" outside India because Toyota owns the rights to the moniker.

Safari blends well to the 7 seater. It looks like a new generation Safari especially with similar roof rails. Doesn't matter if you ask. A rose by any other name smells just as sweet.

Zica was ridiculed. When it was renamed Tiago, everyone said Zica was better. Now the Tiago and the Tigor are household names, posting around 10k sales every month.

I was thinking along similar lines and on a Hexa group chat saw similar comments, one gent goes buzzard is a majestic bird, lol maybe in India but for me buzzards circle when death is abound.

I know, what is in a name, yet while purchasing the Hexa, one of my thoughts was whose idea was it to put a Hex (a) on their own car, only Tata.

Who decides these names? Don't they check if there are any negative connotations of the names they choose.
