Tata Motors has introduce its long-awaited flagship SUV, Hexa in India with prices starting at Rs. 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The premium 7-seater will be locking horns with the likes of established products from utility vehicle (UV) space - the Toyota Innova Crysta and Mahindra XUV500. While both models are popular sellers in the UV segment, Tata plans to grab a piece of this pie with the Hexa that looks promising with its new styling and an abundant set of features. While you already know what the all-new Tata Hexa looks like and we have also shared our first impressions of the car. Here's everything you need to know about the Tata Hexa. Watch Tata Hexa Review Here The Tata Hexa replaces the Tata Aria as the carmaker's flagship 7-seater in the Indian car market, whereas the latter will continue to serve the fleet car market. And truly the Hexa is a great improvement over its predecessor in terms of design, styling, features and more. In terms of design and styling, the Tata Hexa is much more than just a new crossover-SUV in the market. Tata Hexa Side Profile The styling is beefier, modern and upmarket with an abundance of chrome and gloss thrown in. The accentuated wheel arches coupled with black body cladding add to the mascuine appeal, while the 17-inch diamond cut alloy wheels, LED tail lamps and dual exhausts, have all been helped add to the market appeal of the Hexa. The Tata Hexa comes loaded with a host of exterior features including projector headlamps, LED DRLs, ORVM integrated turn indicators among other bits. Inside, the cabin offers a sporty feel with an all-black treatment that is further accentuated by the use of a good amount of soft touch materials to give it an upmarket feel. Tata will also offer a host of accessories and customisation options for the Hexa, which will be introduced in future. Tata Hexa Cabin The three-spoke steering wheel that is seen on latest Tata cars, makes an appearance here as well along with a host of features. The new crossover comes with several comfort features like high-quality contoured leather seats (height adjustable for the driver), auto climate control, touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, USB, AUX-IN and smartphone connectivity, 10 JBL speakers. There is also a terrain management system that helps the crossover traverse on different terrains with ease. That said, the feature will be available only on the 4x4 variants.

The variant list includes - XE, XM, XT, XMA, XTA, and XT 4x4, out of which, the 6-seater configuration as an option will be available only on the XT, XTA and XT 4x4. The remaining trims will be offered in the 7-seater configuration as standard. With respect to powertrain options, the new Tata Hexa uses a 2.2-litre diesel engine that is available in two trims - Varicor 320 and Varicor 400. The former develops 148bhp and 320Nm of peak torque, and comes mated to only a 5-speed manual gearbox sending power to the rear wheels and is offered only with base XE variant. Tata Hexa Engine On the other hand, the more powerful Varicor 400 engine makes 154bhp and develops 400Nm of peak torque and does duty on all the higher models. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed automatic unit. Furthermore, Tata Motors is offering 4x4 or as the company calls it 'Super Drive Mode,' only with the XT trim, while the lower variants will come with a rear wheel drive setup. Tata even organised experience drives for prospective customers prior to launch to get a gist of its capabilities. In terms of safety too, the Tata Hexa will be loaded with a number of active and passive features including six airbags, ABS with EBD, Traction Control, rear parking sensors and camera with guidelines among other equipment. Tata Hexa Safety Features: Six Airbags Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Electronic Brake-Force Distribution Electronic Brake Pre-fill Traction Control Engine Immobilizer Rear Parking Sensors Rear Parking Camera with Active Guidelines Tata Hexa Rear Profile The carmaker started accepting bookings for the Hexa before the launch itself for a token amount of Rs. 11,000 and the company claims to have received an outstanding response. In fact, the Tata Hexa comes close to the XUV on paper, and the base variant of the Hexa undercut the base variant of the XUV500 by almost Rs. 50,000, which makes it a very compelling product like the Tata Tiago.
