Yes, it is hexa but with shorter overhangs to look like proper SUV rather than MUV.

Pardon my ignorance, but that last picture - isn't that a switch for adaptive suspension? The Aria does not have it, does it?

It is a miniaturized version of LR's Terrain Response system. Doesn't look like adaptive suspension, it only controls the 4WD system.

Aria only had 4x4 and 4x2 toggle switch.

HEXA from Tata Motors - official Product Note

Key Highlights:

Lifestyle SUV - An exceptional combination of design and luxury with off-road and
on-road capability
Modern and exciting architecture, designed for customers with an active lifestyle
Class leading features with many segment firsts
Premium plush interiors providing for an inviting experience

HEXA from Tata Motors will be a path-breaking offering in the premium SUV segment. Showcased as a concept at the Geneva Motor Show in 2015, the HEXA comes with a bold design and sharp cosmetic features personifying the newly defined design language – IMPACT

Design is one of the key driving forces behind purchasing a car. With the imperative that the design of the car must grab customer attention at first look, the HEXA’s exteriors and interiors have been designed intelligently giving it an extraordinary appeal.

While the exterior of the car gives it a planted look, the dual-colored front bumper with the signature Tata grill makes it trendy and stylish. The front of the car bears the dual Hexagonal patterned front grill with chrome accented humanity line, where the new three-dimensional ‘T’ Logo is placed in a semi vertical position. The smoked projector headlamps beautifully complement the distinctive front grill along with tough-looking fog lamps with daylight running lamps on the exterior accentuate the car’s road presence.

The masculine stance of the vehicle is further enhanced by the new horizontal two part tail lamps with wraparound signature LED lamps, door claddings, dual-coloured wheel arches, specially designed body coloured integrated spoiler and roof rails. Adding to the sportiness of the vehicle, the company has used stylized machine-cut 19” alloy wheels and a floating roof accentuated by cladding on the D pillar.

The interiors come with contoured, luxurious leather seats with accentuated bolsters which ensure a snug fit and comfortable drive. Rich satin finish chrome accents around air vents, hi-tech infotainment system, flowing multifunction floor console with smart charger along with the elegantly contoured arm rest with utility space are crafted with utmost precision and provide for a premium feel.

The interior is accented with mood lighting, whose colours change according to the 4 drive modes or can be customized with a further 4 colours.

With immense focus on drivability, the stylishly designed HEXA is built to deliver luxury with performance. It comes with a Rack and Pinion steering with power Assistance (Hydraulic) along with an advanced and powerful 2.2L VARICOR 400 diesel engine which delivers an optimum power of 156PS @ 4000 rpm with a maximum torque of 400 Nm @1700-2700 rpm. Available with options of the next generation 6 speed manual transmission and an 6 speed automatic gearbox for the best driving experience, the HEXA is equipped with 4 modes under its multi- drive options to choose from - Auto, Comfort, Dynamic and Rough Road. The drive modes combine the benefits of
electronic stability program and engine calibration, enabling the vehicle to seamlessly overcome any kind of terrain. The vehicle also features cruise control with switches integrated into the signature Tata steering wheel. The 19” tyres and long wheelbase of 2850 mm provide a planted and stable ride. The HEXA offers a commanding view and that perfect driving position from its 8-way adjustable driver seat.

The HEXA comes with comprehensive safety features like 6 airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Corner Stability Control, Vehicle Dynamic Control, Traction Control System and Engine Drag Control System.

Under ConnectNext, the HEXA is equipped with the new generation 5’’ Thin Film Transistor (TFT) touchscreen infotainment system exclusively
designed by HarmanTM. The infotainment system comes with features such as playback via USB, iPod, SD Card, Aux and Bluetooth Audio.
The personalized theatre-like experience in car is achieved via JBLTM 10 speaker system with subwoofer and amplifier. The car also comes with multiple intelligent features for enhanced convenience such as onscreen SMS display, SMS readout and rear view camera display on infotainment screen. Smart USB charging ports which modulate charging, based on the connected device along with adjustable multicoloured ambient car illumination in eight different customized colours (white, orange, red, purple, blue, cyan, bluish green, fluorescent green) that changes based on the select drive modes make it an intelligent car to drive.

They are again positioning it as a "premium" SUV ? I thought that was one reason for failure last time. If SUV, people expect a body like one.

I think they should have positioned it as a MUV and competed against the Innova by offering value.

Looks like a India's answer to Jeep Grand Cherokee!! :-)

Coming to SUV looks, which other under 20L vehicle has this looks?

tez · 3rd February 2016, 15:09

why again this grill and head lamp style. When TATA is getting a new vehicle, could have changed these unless HEXA is based on ARIA platform and they plan to use maximum of the dyes from ARIA.

msk_kapoor · 3rd February 2016, 20:07

Hexa in flesh is no less than the renders we have seen over time. The black finish images released are a stunner. With all the variable dynamic suspension setups and premium interiors, the pricing might reach 20L plus. Sincerely hope Tata dont do that blunder to have this to compete with fortuner and endeavour. I hope they are going to project in the same segment as XUV and innova.

If this is anyway around 17L OTR i for sure am booking the black one 😁

Mod Note: Our Hexa Report has been taken live at this link. Please continue the discussion over on the new thread. Thanks!

Any launch date that has been discussed yet during the Auto Expo? Atleast a time frame would help me in holding onto my purchase of XUV500 in 2nd quarter. Innova Crysta has been announced and it will be launched at the end of the year, which leaves me with only 2 contenders for my purchase.

Regards,
Rohit
