Kooool! I guess...

 

 

I bought this (tata sumo grande tcic ) huge car 2 months (5000km) before, and its the right time to wright a review about this muv,

This car powered with old safari engine of 90ps power which is good enough for those who drive decently,it cannot compete with safari dicor or scorpio mhawk or xylo meagle because it dosnt have common rail fuel injection but on highway it makes an average speed of 120km/hr with out any extra noise and handling is realy good at this speed.

The best part of this car is power steering which dosnt make you feel like you are steering a big car,handling in the city very very good compared to this size car,engine is very smooth makes no noise at all.

During my 5000km experince on this car ihave gone to all kind of terrain and i feel very comportable,mileage average is 10 to 12km /liter, this car is good for a family with grand pas& grand mas,truely its a value for money i bought this for 6.4laks on road madurai.which is much much cheaper than xylos, dicors, innovas.

I had a problem of wheel alingment after 1500km which was very well taken care of my dealer and after that there was no problem till now.

The only thing negative which i feel about this car is turbolag at lower engine speed because it dosnt have variable geometry turbo charger which dicors and meagles,mhawks have. Last , the best part of this car is the availability of spares and cost of spares are very very less compared to dicors and meagles, mhawks.

 

 

I bought this vehicle from joshi auto zone chandigarh. was promised moon didnt get anything except problems. guys dont trust joshi auto zone and tata motors- thats my personal view out of experiances.

I was handed over dirty vehicle. met with an accident and made  a mistake of going back to joshi auto zone. can u believe it- took two months and police assistance to get vehicle back.

Any roadside mechanic would have done a better job- atleast would not have been cheated.

If tata can give u vehicle for free and lookafter the after sales expenditure and problems honestly then u can think of taking risk- still think 100 times before going to joshi auto zone.

Before 1.5 years i have taken this tractor(sumo grande). This is a very low quality vehicle. the power windows not good, as noisy as tractor,cheap quality plastic,inner door handles not good, electrical problems.

So I conclude that PLEASE DONT BUY THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE I AM HAVING VERY BAD EXPERIENCE ABOUT IT. BUY bolero but not this sumo grande. I think that tata motors is the most cheapest company i had ever seen.

I saw this car for the first time in Sep 2008, when I visited Kerala. The external looks reminded me of Land Cruiser & Pajero. How ever one thing which I was always unhappy about Indian made vehicles is no different in this model also - Poor plastic quality. I dont understand why on earth they build such crappy interior for such a good looking car. If the interior is improved, this car can Compete with lower/middle end SUV's in international market. Atleast they can release a higher end model with better interior! I have tested Toyota Innova & its interior & plastic quality very well matches with those we see abroad.

How ever the pricing is good. It is definitly a car to go for when we look for value for money. The highest specification will cost you just 8 lakhs, which is not really bad. Bear in mind, a higher end configuration Innova can cost you anywhere between 13 & 14 Lakhs.

 

 

Good exterior looks, sturdy, reasonably pricedthird class interiors,power windows not good ,inner door handle not good,engine as noisy as tractor.
