Tata Hexa Launch: Highlights

Tata Hexa, the carmaker's flagship model, has been launched in India at a starting price of Rs. 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). We had already driven the SUV and also put together a list of ten things to know about the car.

The Tata Hexa derives power from the Safari Storme's 2.2-litre VARICOR engine and is offered across a total of six variants: XE, XM, XM (Automatic), XT, XT (Automatic), and XT 4x4. Available in 6- and 7-seater formats, it also receives a choice between five-speed manual, six-speed manual, and a six-speed automatic depending on the variant selected.

Speaking of design, the Hexa receives Tata's signature honeycomb grille underscored by a U-shaped chrome slat, wrap-around headlamps with projector units, trapezoidal fog lamps and LED daytime running lights. While its profile is reminiscent of the Aria, it gets distinguishing a handful of features such as underbody cladding, smooth character lines and a floating roof design. Then there's also the 19-inch alloy wheels, wraparound LED tail lamps, dual chrome tipped exhaust, and rear skirts that round off the SUV's design. In an endeavour to cater to a larger audience, the company is also offering a myriad of customisation options on the Hexa.

And as far as the Tata Hexa rivals go, the SUV will primarily face competition from the Toyota Innova Crysta and Mahindra XUV500. Read our specifications comparison of the three cars to see how the latest Tata car fares against its competition.
