The new version of the successful Tata Sumo, Sumo Grande, was launched by Tata Motors in New Delhi on the opening day of the Auto Expo itself. The Tata Sumo Grande will be priced between Rs 6.6 lakh and Rs 7.49 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The SUV is expected to be available in the market from February 2008 onwards. The Sumo Grande is a lot more good looking than the current Sumo variant . But we will have to wait a bit more to find how fit this variant is.
"The company has been trying to bring in the contemporary aspect in styling and technology by infusing new features," said Ravi Kant, ( MD ) Tata Motors.
The Sumo Grande will feature the Tata Safari's successful 2.2 litre DICOR engine but it will be detuned to produce 120 bhp instead of the 140 bhp in the Safari. The Sumo Grande still has the high stance of the Sumo. But we expect vehicle dynamics to be much improved. At this price point, the Sumo Grande is quite capable of taking the fight to the Toyota Innova and the Mahindra Scorpio.
