Mainly 170 BHP, AWD+AT and Bigger Screen Infotainment are key? In fact even power can be managed with a remap or tuning box. Last edited by ACM : 25th January 2018 at 20:01. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() An Idea: What would the last row of seats weigh? 75kgs? For those who just don't need them and are comfortable with a 4/5 seats configuration, they could just remove them for a bit of a boost in performance and fuel economy. |

| ![]() 75 KG is too much. I don't think they would weigh more than 25KG. I don't think there will be any difference in performance or economy if you remove the last row of seats. |

There may be some issues with the RTO. The vehicles' registered configurations cannot be changed without their permission. In this case the Hexa is registered as a 6/7 seater. If you remove the seats, it b comes a 4/5 seater. | |

For 2018/19, we might see the 4x4 getting offered in a mid-variant and the HU updates only. | |

This madness of manufacturers with AT meaning loss of something else to keep down top variant price is irritating. Am considering being driven around seated in 6 seater mid row. Apple Car Play / Android Auto should hence not matter. AWD AT is required for safety in driving itself. New XUV might just cut down the sales progress of Hexa like with the Aria if they delay improvements. Last edited by ACM : 26th January 2018 at 13:16. | |

I wish the 6 seater configuration had even wider middle row seats. They have the space but have left some unused between the two. | |

| ![]() Pragati Motors, Jorhat held a customer meet & free service for owners of Hexa, Nexon, Tiago & Tigor on 26th Jan 2018. They discussed the performance of the cars and listened to complaints. They also gifted desk calendars and a flag lapel pin. Lunch was also organised. Most importantly, customers were treated like personal guests by all the employees. Excellent initiative by the service centre. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() These two are very important for me as well. I would add another major irriantant for me is that the third row doesn't fold flat or fold to the side. Tata has always been slow to react. Mahindra makes changes continuously. Hopefully with the new management in place they will listen to feedback and keep improvising. |

Mahindra, have been very agile...but perhaps too agile for their own good. Half baked products like KUV100, TUV300 (AMT woes), Verito Vibe. What still sells for them is Bolero, Scorpio and XUV500 (there is a thread also on the Petrol Version which is no where to be seen). Being Agile is great, but not at the cost of quality and definitely not if you are Tata Motors. They have a reputation to correct and resurrect. | |

Now the only question that remains is, would us, first-gen Hexa buyers be able to retrofit the new system and make it play well with the various control modules? That would certainly be an ideal scenario. ![]() | |

Change for the heck of it makes no sense. It only looks attractive to those buyers who are easily influenced by features than the core driveablity of the car! Even now, the new XUV has similar interiors! Also, TATA was able to launch a downtown version within 8 months of the product launch, is launching an AMT for the Nexon, again within half a year of it's launch and even the Tiago has been updated with a few updates and not just cosmetic changes! I agree, TATA was slow to react. But not anymore. They stay away from mere cosmetic upgrades but bring in changes that actually does matter! | |

| ![]() Given the limited angle to which the captain seats flip forward, I understand Tata recommends access to the last row in this version, from between the two middle row seats. Making the seats wider and reducing this space would make the last row almost inaccessible. |

BHPian | ![]() Quick feedback based on 5 months and 10,000km of ownership: 1. Not so flat folding is not an issue at all. Have been carrying more cargo of different sorts than passengers, though visually it looks bad, application wise it's fine. 2. Lack of storage space for phone and in general at the front row is a real issue. Cup holder is not ideal for placing the phone and I often end up keeping the phone between legs while driving:-( 3. Lack of legroom for driver is an issue when my wife drives (she is 5ft 2 inches). 4. Did not know spare wheel is 16incher (thought it would be 19 inch steel rim) 5. Gears are lot smoother now, but still notchy at times. 6. Engine feels dead in 2nd gear at lower rpms <1500, lag is so evident. Apart from that, all positives that are already shared makes it a wonderful wonderful car and am thoroughly enjoying the ownership. |

| ![]() Even though the TASS might point out that yours is a newer model, i would strongly recommend you to update the ECU with the new version. The lag almost vanishes and the car feels so much more peppier. |
