टाटा ज़ेनॉन एक्सटी यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Once Again Tata has done what they are famous for.Discontinue one more for their successful Model. Awesome Vehicle, Can easily put any new generation vehicle to shame.Poor and Inefficient marketing for Tata Xenon.

1.Good 2.fun to drive 3.would be better if it come back with upgrades in interior 4.easy and budget friendly 5.can be used as a daily drive but need some work done to be driven in a city daily use.

Exterior Only good part of this vehicle is its looks. The Exterior is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The seats in back lacks the comfort for long drive.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox We have faced constant problems as related to Gearbox and other problems related to its body.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality has been not ok.

Final Words A total failed vehicle. We are going to consumer forum against this vehicle.

Areas of improvement I dont know what to say. The whole vehicle needs to have better Engine and Body Quality. We have driven the vehicle and have faced lot of problems with the service and maintanence. Because of the apathy of the Staff at TATA Motors we are finally going to Consumer forum for the redressel of our issues. That is one of the major area of improvement if the TATA's are going to retain the customer loyalty. Thank You.

Only good thing is its looks.The Vehicle we bought could never function to our expectations and constantly developed body cracks

 

Exterior Great looks. that's the best part of this vehicle. Imposing, commanding, it announces your arrival. Heads turn, people stop and ask. If you like attention, you'll get loads of it in the Xenon. I still stare at it sometimes myself, after owning it for one year.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Typically Tata.. read tacky plastics, finish. Could be much much better for the price. Space in the front is good, but the back seat is too upright and legspace is not the best. The back seat folds partly for nothing at all.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great engine, fantastic pick up for such a monstrous truck. I regularly beat petrol cars at the traffic lights. Fuel economy is acceptable. 11 on the highway w/ ac. I used to ahve a Skoda, so anything else is a fuel guzzler. Gearbox. was really hard at the start. Much better now. But it's still a bit rubbery and is definitely not the best. Also u need to change gears often. The 4 WD is great. on the fly so I don't need to stop. I do a bit of offroading at work and I'm glad it works like a charm.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Poor, but I guess that's because of the rear leaf springs. That said, i used to drive Ford and Toyota pick up trucks in Australia, and they rode much smoother. Can we expect international quality in our Indian cars as yet? Or am I being fussy? The handling is quite good, though THE TYRES ARE WEARING OUT AT 30k KMS, despite getting them checked every 5K kms.

 

Final Words Overall, it really depends on your usage. For me it works because I do a lot of highway driving, carry stuff around, do offroading, and I have a second city car. Not practical if u want to use it in the city, and if you're not going to use the tray and still want to buy it, you need to get a life.

 

Areas of improvement Hmm... where do I start. Firstly Tata needs to improve the overall quality of its vehicles. I have been to the service centre numerous times for small niggling issues. This never happens with my marutis. Second, Tata NEEDS to improve its interiors trim if it wants to be considered a par with foreign brands. Third, the suspension can be improved. And fourth, THE PRICE IS RIDICULOUSLY HIGH. I bought a display vehicle at a cheaper rate, but there was no way I would pay 10 lacs for a pick up truck.

Dear Mr Balraj/ Mr Ajay,

I am a big fan of Tata Xenon. I always wanted to have a unique eye catching vehicle like this for multipurpose use.  Even I am into automobile industry and I am shocked to see such lethargic customer service where the problem is clean and clear and still you people are unable to solve it.

From the very first day of buying the vehicle, most of the time it is standing there in the workshop for one or the other issue. Techno was unable to solve the problem in 2 years. Now its concorde motors and even they are unable to diagnose and solve the problem. Every time vehicle is going to the workshop, a new problem is quoted to us and some part is changed but the problem persists.

The vehicle has been checked by Mr Kuber, Mr Ajay Baweja, Mr Mirza and Mr Shamsher and has been verified by all of them that there is a defect in the vehicle. Vehicle is unable to climb even a slope as low as 3 ft high. clutch gives a burning smell. Being a 4x4 vehicle, it should be powerful but I am sorry to say this vehicle is in a pathetic condition.

Latest incident happened when my father just went to Kasauli and because of this defect he escaped death. The vehicle was unable to climb up a slope to the hotel and slipped back whereas our second vehicle Swift climbed it like any thing.  Now I have lost hope and I m not thinking of buying any TATA vehicle anymore. I have already asked your people to either rectify this problem as I love this car or change it else I have to take some other ways. This is not at all acceptable at all and it is compromising the IMAGE of such a PRESTIGIOUS company.

I am deeply saddened to write this mail as a COMPLAINT but I thought this should come out in the open and the company should know that such a premium vehicle is having such horrible problems that could cause death.

EVEN AFTER WRITING THIS MAIL TO TATA, WE GOT NO REPLY FROM THEM. I AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE.

VEHICLE IS GOODYOU WILL NOT GET ANY SUPPORT FROM TATA IF THEIR WILL BE ANY MAJOR ISSUE

Riding experience: Its is best vehicle which I drive on road xenon is a devil of road it's the best for Indian roads.
Details about looks, performance etc: Its look like a Tank going for a battle.
Servicing and maintenance: The major problem in Xenon is Clutch plate.
Pros and Cons: I love because the front look and it's ground clearance.

Exterior

 The exterior looks great. My Xenon keeps losing the screws that hold the wheel well liners. The road debris keep missing the mudflaps and chipping the rear wheel arches.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Love all the cupholders. The positioning of the air vents are great for heating your hands in winter. Placing of the jack, etc is good. The seatbelt mechanisms are sticky and that after only 115000km. Thankfully it has no airbags-two of my previous cars had problems with those. Analogue clock always visible-love it. Fuel gauge layout is weird.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The 2.2 litre engine has adequate power. The gearbox is notchy especially in first and reverse. As a matter of fact the linkage between the gearshift and gearbox on mine broke at 115000km. The clutch is very difficult to operate especially in city traffic. The low end power could be better.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The ride quality is acceptable.  The handling is better than expected.

Final Words

 Fortunately for us in South Africa the 2.2 Xenon is a bargain compared to a similary aged Hilux, KB, etc.

Areas of improvement  

 A lock on the tailgate would be nice.  Standardisation of parts. When my indicator stalk failed the standard one would not fit as was the case with the gearlink. The low end power was addressed in the XT. Cannot afford one though. The fuel gauge can do with a more conventional layout.

Hi this is Girish Kedar from Nasik. After a long time TATA has brought a car for which many of us were waiting. The first thing to be note about Xenon is it comes under SUV segment and not as a pick-up vehicle. Before a test drive I have finalise that I am surely going to purchase it boss. Strong, sports look, comfort accommodation, value for money and many more. The best part in it is you can take it on any kind of road without tension because the height & power company has given. Long distance traveling makes a pleasant and tireless journey same goes to short journeys. The grip it has on road is Superb. Xenon is with the same engine as the Safari and is there in four attractive shades. A big perfect car for family I will say. Guys trust me Xenon is going to Rocks.  😊  Just go n see it once.

 

Value for money,good height,strong body,eye catching looks,good space,powerfull pickup good colorsNothing

Exterior Is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Not comfi

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Worse performance.

Ride Quality & Handling Worse, The worse pick up ever seen. No after sales support no hearing nothing. I bought this xenon 4x4 but it didnt perform I complaint about it but no one listened. My xenon unable to clime the places where normal cars and suv can. I tried to get in touch with the head but no one listen about it. I had words with Shelesh (technical head) of india. He told me that next time you visit any hill station get it checked their only, I went to manali and get it checked their and they gave me in written that their is a manufacturing fault in the car but after the shelesh didnt even care to pick up the call I called him for one month regularly but he didnt responded. Even I asked workshop that send the guy with me to the hill station on my expense but no one was ready. Better not to buy. I am going through a consumer court case for last one and half year but still no one cares.

Not to waste money on this product of tata its not reliable.

Areas of improvement Ttata can never improve themself.

NOTHING IS GOODNO 1 IS BOTHERED IF YOU HAVE MANUFACTURING FAULT IN XENON
