Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Does anyone know what % of Innova sales are for commercial use? Most of the ones I see are yellow number plate, and many more use white plate but are still taxis. If this is true, then our analysis of why Hexa lags so much behind Innova needs to change. Cab owners have high running, and breakdowns cause business loss. If they buy a car as new, they use it for say 3 lakh km. Over this period, a price difference of 3 lakh translates to just ₹ 1/km. And given the resale value, even this gets almost fully recovered. For such buyers, adding the sunroofs and all the electronics in the world would not change a thing about Hexa. Reliability trumps features. It's not like Hexa is unreliable, but it's not proven like Innova is. Why take chances when spending 2 million? Last edited by pseudo_coder : 7th November 2019 at 15:14. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() If TML is willing to give discounts upto 75000 on a Hexa, I'm sure they are able to put in some gizmos - An airplay and android auto enabled AVN, sunroof etc., without deleting some features. Their product pricing and placement needs to be re-examined if you ask me. Yes, the appearance of the showroom or the service center matter, and so does the training of their staff. My benchmark is a Honda showroom and service center. Product lifecycle also needs to be examined, how long will they want to invest on the hexa. Their focus is now on the harrier twins, the altros hatch. Hexa was perhaps a stop gap till the Harrier 7 seater comes out in my opinion. Great product, design and engineering. I've had no complaints so far compared to my 2.2 Dicor days. Touchwood. |

| ![]() Just back from a round trip to Kabini. Total distance covered was approximately 2100 kms. Overall fuel economy of 14.7 kmpl as per MID. This includes state highways post Davanagere till Kabini and vice versa, 4 adults and 2 children and their luggage plus AC on for the entire journey. Not bad I would say. As far as the SUV is concerned, it performed flawlessly. My friend who accompanied me along with his family drives a Corolla and was all praises for the superlative comfort offered by the Hexa. The icing on the cake being his 3 year old son telling him at the end of the trip that their next car should be a Hexa ![]() |

This is not bad, but good actually. What do you get in Pune city driving? Last edited by SDP : 8th November 2019 at 07:55. Reason: Grammar |

Infact last year in December I had done a trip to South Goa where I had achieved a fuel economy of 15.8 kmpl with exactly the same driving conditions and load. Last edited by CrAzY dRiVeR : 8th November 2019 at 11:37. Reason: Corrected image orientation | |

Very true sir. What Tata actually need is some enthusiasm to sell Hexa. I am in market for new car and Hexa is top most choice for me. But sales guys are very reluctant to sell it. When I entered the showroom and asked for Hexa, the sales person showed no interest. Rather he assigned some one junior who can be best described as dumb. Such a attitude creates doubts in prospective buyers like me who are ready to ignore gizmos and connectivity feature in return of mechanically solid car. |

Hey Nikhil. Concorde Motors is already in the process of shutting down. My dealer friend told me that they will shut shop by December and their Pune dealerships will be taken over by Bafna. We already have a thread on this topic. Please check it out. |
