டாடா சுமோ கிராண்டே எம்கே ii [2009-2014] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior To be honest I just love the looks of the old sumo. And was just shocked when I first saw the grande. But after 2 years, now I feel grande looks good. Designers at TATA have done a good job. It does look like the Sumo from every angle but still so modern.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) When you step in though, its like a time vault. Nothing has changed other than colour. I just dont understand why TATA use bit and pieces in their dash rather than one piece dash. One piece dash will solve the problem of inconsistent fit and finish. Mateirials used are hard wearing, which suits my taste. So no complains there. One thing you will love is the level of comfort. Seats are super comfortable. And middle row captain seats are just superb. The last row though is a bit flat but managable. Leg room at the last row is just sufficient. Have to mention one thing, the cabin is well insulated.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Start the engine and what???? no vibration???? Looks like TATA engineers are working over time. You release the clutch and let the torque do the job for you, You dont need to press the throttle. Gear shifts could have been better. But over all the performance seemed adequate. Car sprints well and can do a constant 100kph.

Ride Quality & Handlings Low speed ride is good. Soaks up the bumps well, so non leaf springish. There is a bit of up and down movement during high speed cruising but nothing to be scared of. Handling is good if you are sedate. But your agressive inputs will throw the car off balance. Braking is good, compared to the earlier grande, but there is that typical sumo nose dive ( which I like but can be scarey for the passengers).

Final Words I just dont understand why most people dont considor a grande while buying a muv. Its worth a look. It looks, rides and cruises better than a xylo or a bolero. I did a short test drive (20-25kms). And decided I'll buy one. Went ahead and booked one in walnut gold.

Areas of improvement Should be intierior fit and finish. May be the use of one piece dash board can solve it. One thing I would want TATA to retain in future sumo line ups is the unpolished nature of it. I like the rough nature of it.

Exterior It has a very good exterior with out looking the name you cannot say that it belongs to the sumo family. It is the best looking vehicle among bolero,xylo,scorpo,inovasafari etc.

the toyota inova looks rubish it is such a long vehicle but doeas't have a little space.the grande is far better than inova.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The dasboard is quite good but it should be little change.the power window switch is excellent and the space is out standing the rear mirror have ultra style indicaters. The ac is out standing.but the ac in bolero is rubish.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It is powered by 2.2litre dicor engine and is a very powerfull vehicle .it millagei some what13kmlandthe gear box is excellent.

Ride Quality & Handling It takes 0to 100 in 17.2 sec.riding quality good with the fully loaded gx variation you can turn it while the speed is more than100.

Final Words It is the best in class vehicle between the range of 6 lakh to 9.5 lakh.

Areas of improvement Dasboard should be little improve and thename sumo should be remove.

Cheap quality of plastic, goodcomfort, bad Fuel Economy and Gearbox. I brought a new grande on june 2011, at vijay sales corp.vellore(T.N).

Exterior looking bad paint quality no value for money, my car paint is dew white lot of black shades in the side body, eletrical work not good, low engine pickup, heavy noise inside the cabin,power window not working,combi switch not working since I purchase the car. I complaint so many times but no response at custumer service very bad service never seen before at vijay sales corp.vellore.(t.n) dont buy any tata vehicle at this show room no custumer service no spares avalible they are cheating the custumer they only showing interest to sell the vehicle very very poor service.Want to improve the quality of dash board plastic, outer looking very huge size, engine noise very high, I feel like sumo victa engine noise, mahendra xylo is better vehicle to compare this sumo grande. Low fuel economy AC is better cooling I like more before buying this vehicle  but I feel very bad after get this sumogrande. Dont buy this vehicle.
