Based on feedback from WhatsApp group members (new owners), they don't have any of the reported concerns hope it continues and TAMO keeps a check on QC throughout. First we were welcomed with buffet (Veg & NonVeg) and finally given away with PVR Orion Mall Tickets for "Kong: Skull Island" Movie.

Saw a blue HEXA parked in my apartment parking lot friday and saturday for sometime. Looks amazing in Blue and those 19 inchers add to the overall look. The presence is just majestic. ![]() | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() We finally got a chance to test drive the Hexa XTA 4x2 at K.H.T motors, Domlur. I must say, this car completely changes the face of Tata. Previously, whenever people think of Tata, all that their minds are filled with are negative remarks. But, Tata has taken the right step to get the people's trust. What an SUV! We were really surprised at what Tata had to offer in the Hexa. The ride quality was observed to be better than that of the Innova Crysta. The sports mode on the AT was really awesome! One can feel the change in the response of the vehicle when engaged in sports mode. During the TD, all the people on the road were staring at this wonderful beast which we were driving. The NVH levels were much lesser than that of the Crysta. However, it might be so as the Hexa has a 2.2 litre engine and the Crysta has the 2.8 litre engine (AT). The SA claims that the Hexa and Tiago were designed by Jaguar. Now, I don't know if this is true or not nor do I really care about it. Overall, it's a really nice SUV offered by Tata. I would rate the overall experience as a 9. The only place where I feel Tata has messed up is the price. Though it is cheaper than the Innova Crysta, 9 out of 10 people are bound to lean towards the Crysta than the Hexa because of the fact that it is a Toyota Product. I feel, Tata should have priced the Hexa below 20L OTR while launching it so that people can feel that it is a good price considering the fact that it's a Tata product. The XTA variant is 22L (approx) OTR in Bangalore. When people look at it, they will feel it is too much considering the fact that it is a Tata Product. People with budgets of below 20L are most likely to lean towards the Hexa in if the price is below 20L. After a few months, when more and more Hexa's are bought, Tata should've increased the price just like what Toyota did for the Innova. In that case, people are more likely to buy the Hexa as they know that it is a really good product. An important thing I noticed is that the SA's were behaving to us as though the car is already a success. Some people might agree to this, but no car is successful unless it sells in really good numbers for a lot of months. I think Tata shouldn't rush in claiming that the Hexa is a success. It should wait for another 6 months before deciding on that. The Tiago is the most successful car Tata has produced. Reason? It sold in good numbers before and even now it does. When Tata bring in the AMT version, it is going to dominate the segment. The Tiago is reasonably priced as well! Tata should follow the same thing with the Hexa. IF they do the same thing with the Hexa, then in a few years, Tata will surely rise to the levels of Toyota and Honda. Will I buy it? Well, after looking at the Hexa, I was left banging my head against the wall and thinking how couldn't I wait for the Hexa and bought the Innova Crysta before the Hexa was launched! ![]() That tells you the answer. ![]() Cheers, Karthi.stark Last edited by Rehaan : 14th March 2017 at 10:55.

| ![]() Any mileage updates for XTA on highway and local runs from owners who have taken delivery. Booked the XTA today and waiting period is approximate 4 weeks in NCR. |

BHPian | ![]() Nice to know about waiting period. So TATA is indeed not able to meet demand and so the February numbers reflect their issue with ramping up than less than expected demand. |

| ![]() Has anybody on this thread taken delivery of the XM variants - manual or auto? If yes, how do the 16in tyres fare in comparison to the 19in ones, you would have TDed, with respect to the ride quality and handling. |

| ![]() Finally convinced my uncle to book the HEXA. He was already pushing his budget so settled for the base variant. Anything significant he will miss that's available in XM which warrants 1.8L premium? |

https://bookonline.tatamotors.com/bo...exa?ref=hexaLP The Varicor320 with the 5 speed gearbox is more than sufficient for city and relaxed highway runs (there are many Aria refresh owners who can confirm this) and for someone on a budget I think XE makes lot more sense especially given the fact that there has been not much of a compromise on the basic safety aspect - ABS+EBD and twin Airbags. | |

Even with the Storme, the 320Nm version feels much better. When on the highway, I do miss the 6th gear on my Storme, but after having tried the refresh version, I am not complaining about those extra horses & torque. For most part, the refresh version with 400Nm / 6 gears looks only numbers. Last edited by condor : 15th March 2017 at 08:10. | |

I understand that a 6 speed gearbox gives better spacing of gear ratios compared to the 5 speed one but at the same time the 6th gear ratio should have been such that 100 km/h should have been achieved at ~1800 rpm. Peak torque of 400Nm in the Varicor400 is between 1750-2500 rpm so expecting 100 km/h at 1800rpm is not unrealistic. | |
