It was a great experience with Tata Hexa that is to be
launched in mid January in the coming year. We got the opportunity to have it’s
test ride. It was not only a test ride, but, also the real time rough road
experience that was mind blowing. The most Powerful & Energetic but a
beautiful machine named - Tata Hexa – looked strong enough to meet the
challenges.
We tried both the Auto as well as the manual transmission models of the vehicle. The manual transmission model offered us the
The Automatic version has a six speed automatic
transmission with selectable modes – sports and the auto – sensing Race car
performance with manual shift option.
It has been developed by Tata Motors in collaboration with
its technology partners. It’s a power packed, feature loaded and adrenaline
vehicle for the class which has an active and dynamic lifestyle.
The Top 10 features of the vehicle are its Impact design, Varicor400 Engine, Super-Drive modes, New Gen Automatic Transmission, Comprehensive safety suit, 10 speaker JBL ™ system, Smartphone applications,
Truly, it is based on a new versatile platform – a
complete vehicle package, with an exceptional combination of Design, Luxury,
Off road and On road experiences. We tried it On the Road and found it
extremely suitable to our needs and when we tried it Off road in the Rough road
conditions, it looked as comfortable as it was in the On road conditions.
The exteriors of the vehicle are quite impressive with its dual-coloured bumpers, Tata signature grille, stylish new projector headlamps as well the DRLs and a lot more. Similarly the Interiors are quite inviting with Sculpted seats, accentuated bolsters with Benecke-Kaliko ™ leather feel upholstery. It has a choice of eight colours for in-cabin ambient mood.
We started from the designated place towards Vikarabad
that was almost 170 KM both sides and on the way we passed
through all kinds of possibilities. There were roads with good traffic, 17 km of highway, narrow stretches,
single road for both ways as well as the small rural village areas with no
roads with a herd of cows and we found no difficulty of any kind while driving
the Hexa in its various transmission modes in both the Automatic and manual
versions that we used one by one in both the ways.
Similarly, we got the opportunity to have it’s real time
trial in rough road conditions in the hills, slopes, drains, ditches and it
performed magnificently at all the locations. You can view the real time video
of the real time Hexa experience that looked quite impressive in every possible
manner. The only thing remaining is the price of the vehicle in various
versions and we are sure that if the price of HEXA is within the budget, it
will prove to be a big hit in the market in the coming year itself.
