Senior - BHPian | ![]() Great review. Loved the detailed report. ![]() Kudos to Tata for bringing the Hexa. A good engine, backed by standout ride and handling. Throw in a well appointed and quality interiors to come out with a well rounded product. The dashboard looked a bit busy to me and I feel could be simplified a little but I don't think it is a deal breaker. The infotainment quality is a great plus in a vehicle may most probably be used for long trips with quite a few family members. I don't see it scorching the charts but it certainly is more than capable of providing very decent sales numbers in a segment that Tata is all but non-existent. This is assuming that Tata price it well. A 20L on road price for the highest variant perhaps? And no 10 year product cycle. They need to refresh it at least every 3 years. Drive on, Shibu. |

I believe this is just an add on kit. We should know more when an official brochure is released (probably at the time of launch). | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Undoubtedly the most anticipated review of the year and it's worth the wait. Rated 5 stars! What a detailed coverage and explanation. Thanks for all your time and effort guys ![]() As many have done, I have read the whole review in one go and it's the first time for me to spend almost 2 hours on a review. In the end I felt like I completed a long and detailed test drive. Hats off guys for this wonderful experience. My observations: 1. Hexa from out side is amazing except those wing mirrors, somehow I feel they are not matching the Hexa profile. They could have been little sharper in shape (to match Hexa theme) than the present rounded profile. 2. Glad to know that Hexa excelled in suspension/ride. 3. Captain seats fit and finish looks great, but the bench seats are looking cheap (especially the finish). 4. It will be very difficult to access emergency triangle, ideally it should be tuck behind the third row of seats. 5. Missing dead pedal in MT is a big miss in premium segment. 6. Absence of ESP in AT variants is blunder, cheap trick for keep the cost of XTA variant low?. This is a big let off for me as a prospective buyer of XTA. 7. Access to third row could have been better (especially for 6 seat variants) 8. Omission of key less entry is another big miss for its segment. 9. Paint finish looks just great. Hexa looks hot in darker shades. 10. No storage area for the phone near controls. Where do I place my phone during charge? 11. Fit and finish of overall product is amazing the eagerly waiting to see it in flesh and of course test drive. Before reading the Team-BHP review, I was 95% in for Hexa now that has comedown to 85% (mainly due to omission of ESP from Automatic). Keeping my fingers crossed until test drive.

@Hillsnrains, absence of keyless entry was known from the very first day of the media drive. Last edited by sourabhzen : 23rd November 2016 at 10:03. | |

| ![]() Amazing Review guys. It felt like I was with you testing the vehicles. Every question was answered and wonderful photographs to support the entire endeavour. I wish we had a Team-Bhp TV show, it would just rock the competition out. What remains to be found out is the price and price is what will decide its fate. I suppose certain features have been omitted so as to keep some options open for a future update. Although in my opinion TATA is at a stage where they must play all their cards including their trump card. What is the point of an update once the product is dead on arrival. TATA needs to give everything an XUV provides and more. Leaving room for later in not an option. I always felt the Aria had a two fold problem. Price and looks. It was too costly and it did not fit into the SUV crazy buyer's appeal. The Hexa has tackled the looks. What about the price? Does the TATA-Mistry blockbuster have any impact on this?

| ![]() Hi Aditya/Vid, Did they mention about availability of 6/7 seated for XT 4X4 . As per the sheet given here (http://hexa.tatamotors.com/variants) they are saying that XT 4X4 will be available only in 6 seater. That looks to me like illogical |

| ![]() Wondering if the Hexa will start a new trend of owners going for a tyre downsize for an even better ride quality? If so, will the owner save a few bucks by swapping the 19 inchers for 17 or 18 inchers? |

| ![]() Excellent review, as always, of a competent product from TATA. Looking forward for a test drive of the automatic version. I wish TATA all the success. |

| ![]() Kudos Team Bhp.As always a brilliant analysis.The Tatas have finally have a game plan . They have really pushed the envelope by packaging the Hexa. The Tiago has been a sure success.The Hexa will give both Crista and Xuv 500 reasons to be worried .Tatas would have nailed it if they they get the pricing right. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() New website for Hexa is up with great interior and exterior pics. Things are looking up for Tata motors. Hopefully Hexa will slide right into the spot vacated by the old Innova. http://hexa.tatamotors.com |
