Some news of some octroi consessions are also there hence can be very competitevely priced with 2.2 140bhp engine.

Hey Bond great piece of Information looks like you are working in Tata ..... are they going to produce just 20 vehicles for launch, I think Mumbai alone can consume them in a day ................

milin · 8th January 2009, 14:14

Hey Dinar, will let the forum know as soon as i get some info on the launch date and status of the glitch.

kailashnj · 9th January 2009, 08:13

Does any one know the specifications for this vehicle like is it the new 2.2 engine and will it be 140 bhp or detuned. Any information on this will be appreciated.

Front looks like Sumo grande.. unlike others i somewhat like the new look sumo front view

but the back and side profiles.. well looks like its bitten by honey bees

I spotted the Xenon on Mumbai- Pune Express Highway. It was a left hand drive. Its speed might be around 80-100 Km/hr. Might be they are testing the FE of the vehicle.

On road appearance is like a SUV-Pick Up from behind. But the front makes a good road appearance.

Yes its a Dam Good Vehicle to bully away Autos from your path.

I am confused on how to react. I had high expectations on this one. Now - I dunno .

Some pics from exactly one year back to the date - from the Auto Expo in N Delhi:

Isn't this thread exactly an year old. But alas, it is still one of the concept cars which makers don't bring to market. Too sad, it is going to see x-over and other beautiful concepts from Tata. :(

Torqy · 9th January 2009, 11:52

See how they've managed to decrease the front ground clearance as well as the approach angle. :(

Going by certain indications, the Xenon is going to be launched soon.

Please continue discussion on the other thread :

somehow, i dont like the headlights styling

i saw the xenon this evening at concord. it had apparently come in from bangalore for registration and vehicle classification. I asked the sales guy what this was and he said "we have no information about this vehicle"

it looks like a flyby wire 4x4, and the 2.2 VTT. the steering looks like the sumo grande and the intereiors looked ok. I managed to take a few pictures of the car, will post it up soon. Looked very imposing.

I had dropped in today to test ride the Linea when I saw this beast. I tried some small talk with the salesman and I kept receiving the same answer, it is a commercial vehicle and he does not know who sells it

If this will be sold to private buyers and if we can get a lid for the cargo space like the pics from Steeroid, this might just be my next ride.

OT: When were you there ? I asked this because there were 3 other guys in a palio checking out the Linea as well

madan80 · 18th January 2009, 22:15

was there at about 4pm.
