The Xenon pickup has been developed and built in Thailand, specifically keeping the Thai customers in mind. We are hopeful that Thailand and ASEAN region will become key markets for Tata Motors in the near future.”
The Xenon features a 2.2-litre Direct Injection Common Rail (DICOR) engine with Variable Turbine Technology (VTT) and intercooler promising high durability, ease of maintenance and low spare part prices. The 2.2L VTT DICOR common-rail diesel technology offers excellent power delivery and low fuel consumption. The Xenon has been designed with high suspension from origin.
Initially the Xenon intends to have 50 percent local content, so that customers can be sure that inexpensive spare parts would be readily available.
The Xenon is assembled at the Thonburi Automotive Assembly Plant (TAAP). Thonburi’s long experience and excellent reputation in quality and craftsmanship will ensure the product meets customer preference.
The Xenon is being launched in two body styles: X-tend Cab and Double Cab (4-door). All models come with the 2.2-litre DICOR common-rail engine with VTT and intercooler, as well as 32-bit ECU to produce 140 horsepower and 320Nm of torque from 1,700-2,700rpm, as well as excellent fuel economy.
