Which car wowed you at the Auto Expo 2016?

S.MJet · 4th February 2016, 12:32

Saw Nexon vedio preview by Autocar, thoroughly impressed by the efforts of Tata design team.
Though Brezza will outsell Nexon in the market place but I am sure this effort will bring Tata back in business.

Voted for Nexon.

How come XUV Aero not in the list? Strange.

Skyline_GT · 4th February 2016, 13:04

Had to be the Tucson! Voted for it.

Strictly my opinion but the TATA siblings look ugly!
The Chevy Beat siblings look decent. Chevorlet Cruze looks a bit dull to me. The current gen Cruze sold in India looks much more striking.

Where is the Ford Mustang? The vote would have been a no brainer

Exactly?

Or the XUV Aero

Either, or both, will win my vote.

I think the OP did not add premium cars like Jaguars and Mustang. XUV Aero concept was launched today, but this thread was created yesterday - and I guess that explains why XUV Aero is not there in the list.

One look and the decision was made. It is KITE 5 for me. It is a beautiful car.

MadiMaama · 4th February 2016, 15:09

I wanted to choose the XUV Aero but I do not seem to see it in the list. From the list I went for the Innova Crysta. Practical, feature loaded and looks cool as well.

MaheshY1 · 4th February 2016, 15:14

Ameo. Not for its "Award winning" design but for the features; and the competition, which is going to force VW to price it appropriately.

Sub-10 lakh car that is at home crawling in the city as it is cruising on the highway. In the city, your left leg can relax. Out on the highway, your right limb can join too. All this without sacrificing on the FE diesels are known for and the punchy 1.5 TDI. Best part is, it not some lousy AMT, it's the freakin' 'best in business'* DSG.

*Conditions Apply: Not taking into consideration the yet-to-be-proven reliability.

BTW, can I go off topic?
The T120 just gets me drooling every time I think of its 105 Nm of torque at stupid low 3100. 8.7 Ex Delhi is just the icing I ordered.
The Custom 1200 seems like a desperate defensive measure now.

Tata seems to be the crowd favourite, the Hexa looks awesome in the pics, and many people seem to be going ga ga over the Kite and the Nexon too. Just hope that they actually manage to get some sales and hope these products are truly competent. No more niggles should be their motto. It would be simply wonderful if an Indian company actually give us world class cars. I'm sure many of us would gladly give them a preference if they truly were able to hold their own against the competition.

Best of luck Tata! We're rooting for you.

avdhesh15 · 4th February 2016, 16:08

I don't think this is a complete list of cars that wowed... as folks have pointed out, Mustang, Aero, the Jeeps etc are missing from the list.

Request to refresh the list such that all the cars are covered. Thanks.

Dream Catch · 4th February 2016, 16:13

Voted for Kite 5.

But what saddens me that despite great looks. The Tata engines would let it down, and when it will come to buying my money will go to the Japs for silky smooth engines, and if I am adventurous to the Europeans.

Thanks Vikram for the headsup!

The XUV Aero has been added to the poll.

harry10 · 4th February 2016, 16:43

Voted for Nexon. Loved Hexa and Kite 5 too but Nexon is something I never thought Tata can pull off.
Interestingly till now the top 4 poll results have 3 Tata cars in it. Shows how impressive they have been with their upcoming line up.

nmenon · 4th February 2016, 17:10

Voted for the XUV Aero concept just for the audacity and absolute confidence shown by Mahindra.
But the Tata Hexa ran it close. This is what the Aria should have been. We would've been seeing many more of these. Lets hope it is priced sensibly.
Honourable mention to the Kite S, finally a good looking compact sedan.

On a related note, looking at the results, we all seem to have taken a liking to the Tatas.

Only the Vitara Brezza is competing with them for popularity amongst BHPians.
