Tata gets ready for Xover launch - Page 5 - Team-BHP

spadival · 24th April 2008, 11:55

I have a feeling that the Xover is a successor to the Safari range. Would Tata have 3 models in the same niche segment - Safari (SUV), Sumo Grande (MUV) and Xover with 2 of the model ranges having 4X4 ?

I hope they improve the overall plastic quality in the interiors.

The dashboard looks weird. Where are the AC vents? What's that cavity in the centre for? Don't quite understand the design philosophy. Certainly doesn't match the Innova dash which is a class apart.

Those cut outs would be for the front passenger airbag and sat nav. Mostly for export markets, unfortunately.

Great job Tushky. Even I find the dash to be painfully boring :|

Xover cannot be the successor to Safari and if it is a Sucessor for Safari then this is really a bad successor. This looks like an Innova and can give Innova a run for its money but it cannot replace Safari. Safari needs something that is lot more better.

Yes, a Xenon based 7 seat SUV with space for luggage behind the seats. Ofcourse differential locks as well (as present in the Xenon pickup).

Xover is not the successor to Safari.
Please read post no. 1 carefully.

You bet it does, especially at the all-too-important-for-comfort rear end. The wheels look like 17 inchers too.
