Camouflaged Tata Hexa caught testing at Coimbatore

Tata Hexa, the much awaited SUV from the stables of Tata Motors, was caught testing on Indian soil on the Trichy Highway in Coimbatore. Though the SUV was camouflaged, the bold design, the uncovered projector headlamps and alloy wheels make it reminiscent of the Hexa, thus confirming our suspicion.

Design is brilliant, features are plenty and quality is top-notch. But, how much more time till it is delivered to the Indian consumers? Can it prove itself as a Lifestyle SUV?

We answer just that.

We expect the SUV to be launched by the end of second quarter of 2016, at a price bracket of 15-18 lacs INR. Stay tuned to MotorFry for more updates.
