Which car wowed you at the Auto Expo 2016?

anuraglakhotia · 5th February 2016, 11:16

For me, it is the Innova Crysta. Superb upmarket looks. The 2.8 engine, extremely comfortable, a delight to drive. Superbly reliable. Innova is the market leader in its segment, handsdown.

On a different note, I think Tata has been the show stopper in the current Expo and the Kite 5 is actually an example for the other manufacturers that even a sub-4m sedan can look classy. Way to go Tata... !!!

Voted for Tata Nexon, hope they bring it out soon. The second would be Tata Kite and third Hyundai Carlino.

Voted for tata kite5. But I still fee despite liking this I may never purchase it owing to sub-par ownership experience.

The Tata trios have got collective vote bank of almost 60%.

It just shows how the enthusiast lot is quite impressed with the Tata offerings !

Hope Tata is able to make it big through all the new offerings !

I voted for the Aero Concept as it is something really different and futuristic ! That too coming in from an Indian company, feels really refreshing.

From the Skoda horror stories, I understand that high cost of spares and unethical practices to fleece customers are the main problems with Skoda service. I heard many complaints on Tata service but not the above. They are bad in totally different ways.

I am a Tata car user for many years and I came across incompetence in their service centres, but they were always courteous and willing to address issues and correct errors of omission and commission. They just have to get it right the first time more often.

Not at all a fan of Tata cars but man, the Nexon! Nice design and I love it!

You missed the Ford Mustang

I was literally drooling at the Red one displayed.

As it was not in the list I've voted the second best I liked - XUV Aero.

Pl update the poll (may be you missed it because this was showcased on Day 2 i.e. 4th Feb). Also there were many other models unveiled / launched on 4th - including the new Duster from Renault.

So I think the poll list is not complete enough to declare the winner. Pl consider and update.

Voted for the Nexon.
Never had thought would vote for a TATA in wow factor but that is what the situation is today. Seems that the partnership with Range Rover has done TATAs real good in designing their new rides. Even Kite was not far behind.
Just hope they get their sales and services aspect together, but again this vote is not about ownership but WOW factor.
Well done TATA.
Hope one day i vote for you in the ownership poll too.

GypsyKing_775 · 5th February 2016, 15:38

Tata Nexon it is for me!
Although the decision was tough because Hexa and Kite 5 look stunning too.
Knowing that these are Tata products,we can surely expect them to come at competitive prices when launched.
Good work Tata,please bring all these three products as soon as possible
I hope the final product (with reference to nexon) available to the buyers will carry most of the features available on the car displayed.

A little off topic..
What do the manufacturers do to the Concept cars displayed?
Always wondered about it.

Please check the attached image of the Suzuki Kizashi concept.
I guess they are just scrapped

Yet again, Tata is at the top of our polls. The last being Zest in our COTY poll.

So, one things clear, Tata can make appealing and competent products. But what stops them from following it up with good numbers, is their sales and service folks. Baboons in trousers, would do a better job than their botched up team.

OT : Can we have a "Which car bored you at the Auto Expo 2016?" poll ? There should not be any dearth of nominees.

sngautam · 5th February 2016, 18:59

Nexon & Kite 5. 2 good looking offerings by Tata. Nexon wins in the end. It is beautiful to look at.

THREEK85 · 5th February 2016, 19:50

Voted for Aero. Kudos to Mahindra for the bold step. To me it looks stunning and aspirational. Not something which you would have expected from M&M. Keep the votes coming folks!

crossx5 · 6th February 2016, 15:42

Near production car: Nexon hands down.
Concept: XUV Aero

sreejith.pish · 6th February 2016, 16:15

Visited the expo on Friday. Tata's pavilion had the best of the new cars. I voted for the Nexon. Kite and Hexa are also excellent. Zica did'nt appeal much because it felt like a cramped version of indica with a smiling face.
