Presenting the Tata Xenon XT...

IMHO,The first TRULY INDIAN Lifestyle Pick-up truck.

Officially launched in India!

Always had this thing for pick-up trucks and fancied all the biggies available abroad but this truck is a great start as far as the indian pick-ups scene is concerned.

Pick-up truck fans will understand !!!

Yes,there's the scorpio getaway but that's a god dam joke !

Whereas,this one's got presence & character...

Available in two body trims - Xenon single cab & Xenon crew cab and with a choice 4×2 or 4×4

The Xenon XT is powered by the widely accepted 2.2 VTT DICOR diesel engine with a peak power of 140 PS and a peak torque of 320 Nm. It has a 4X4 with an electrical shift-on-the-fly mechanism and a limited slip differential similar to the Safari. These, combined with a rugged ladder frame structure, a matching suspension and alloy wheels give the vehicle off road capabilities of an SUV. The load bed is a 1518 mm x 1414 mm area which lends itself to carrying equipment or having fun, as desired.

The Xenon XT can be customised to suit individual tastes and styles through a wide range of accessories such as bed-liners, fog lamps, canopy, boot lid, rollover bars and the like which will be on sale along with the vehicle.

The Xenon XT is priced at Rs. 7.62 lacs for the 4x2 version and Rs. 8.58 lacs for the 4x4 version, ex showroom Delhi. It comes in 4 attractive shades – White, Black, Silver and Mineral Red.

More Info !

Yeah,the tail-lights look odd and they could have provided better tyres (can always change them to BF Goodrich ones later :ohyeah: )..

Kudos to Tata for their efforts ! :clap:

Whoa... I wish to own one of these..... but when it comes to TATA's I'm scared because of the Sumo fiasco ( dad almost bought the first gen sumo; the ones which flipped over when braked)

Saw the Ad in today's paper. Its good for people living in remote areas/small towns/hills. Nothing like keeping in metros.

Its pretty famous Rahul... the Sumo when it was launched had a problem with the centre of balance. This was revealed to my dad by a TATA engineer himself. He had predicted that if any one brakes the sumo too hard it will flip over. The first gen Sumo's were accident prone and we used to see a different one almost everyday at the Police station on the highway on our way to school. That is the whole story. So that is why I am a little skeptical while buying a TATA vehicle.

Rest assured,This won't flip over ! :bleh:
 
it's a great vehicle. would love to buy it but the price is not justified. the 4X2 should have been around 6.5 for the crappy interiors they offer. then again the seating and comfort is to be seen.

any why do you need electric side view mirrors on a pickup!!!
 
Reminds me of the Tatamobile that Tata had launched years ago. This looks much more umm....modernized.

Pickups are not very popular in India. Abroad, people use these to haul camping eqpt, dirt bikes, small boats etc. No opportunity in India I guess for people to enjoy these activities.
