Now, if a new report is to be believed, the X451 is more likely to be a micro-SUV which is currently in the works. Conceived in 2013, project ‘Dolphin’ is now said to be fast tracked so that the model can reach the production by next year.
The report added that the company has floated a quotation for the new model among suppliers last month although a spokesperson from the company declined to comment on the same. Based on the company’s Advance Modular Platform (AMP), the model is a part of the company’s plan to launch two new vehicles every year till 2020.

As the sales numbers report a healthy response from the Tiago, the company will now launch models at a steady pace with the aforementioned models lined up for a launch in the coming months. The Tiago was the first all new model to be launched by the company since 2008 when it launched the Nano. The X451, once launched, will take on the likes of the Mahindra KUV100.
