Both packages, are available across all variants of the Hexa. These include chrome inserts around the headlamps, tail lights and ORVMs, Downtown badges, side steps and wireless smartphone charging. Tata is also offering a carpet set and car care kit in the Downtown.

As part of the Indulge package, the XT and XTA variants get additional equipment including a rear seat entertainment package with two Blaupunkt players with 10.1-inch screens, head-up display and a tyre pressure monitoring system.



The Hexa Downtown Edition uses the same 2.2-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine as the regular Hexa. The base XE variant gets the same engine in a lower state of tune, producing 148 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 320 Nm of torque @ 1,500-3,000 rpm. In the XM and XT variants, the 2.2-litre diesel engine is tuned to produce 154 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 400 Nm of peak torque @ 1,700-2,700 rpm. The base variant comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox, while the XM and XT are offered with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is only available in the XT variant.

The Tata Hexa Downtown Urban Edition is offered in a new colour called Urban Bronze.

Car seems to have same size 19" as the current version, or am I missing something here?

This is what Autocar mentions.
Maybe it's for the lower trims only.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wireless charging will be useful only for the phones which support it, right? Else it's not a pretty useful feature.

Here are a few phones which support wireless charging

Another very important addition to these,

iPhone 8/8 Plus and the iPhone X

Oh yes, how did I forget these flagshipsstupid:

FYI, any phone can be made wireless charging compatible for less that 500 rupees. In my opinion, this is a very good feature to have and pretty soon every car manufacturer will be offering this as a feature.

Wasn't aware of this. If any phone can be made wireless charge compatible, then it is a pretty useful feature.

Was reading how to make a phone wireless charging compatible, found this interesting article

At 12.18L ex-showroom this product seems to offer tremendous value, hope it picks up the volume Tata wishes to achieve, good job TATA Motors :thumbs up

The HUD feels like a patch job and I was thinking of something in line of how it gets projected on windscreen ala BMW. Else, Hexa continues to power in the VFM quotient!

The color looks fabulous. They need to get this one included in the regular color palette.

Slowly and surely Hexa is getting established in the market. There is plenty of room for improvement but looks like the numbers are getting stabilized. As always the bigger factor is going to be the after sales and service experience of the owners which will help in improving the perception about Tata Motors' service quality.

The XE and XM trims come with 16" alloys - it's only the XT variant that has 19" alloy wheels!

The Hexa Downtown Urban Edition looks good and these features ae great. The car is a good performer I hear. So tempted, if this was available 3 months back would have gone for it. For now, I'm trying to source the gorgeous Hexa steering leather for my Nexon, LOL.
