Tata Sumo Gold User Reviews

Exterior good

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) features are less but comfort is superb. Regarding space it scores the best in suv segments.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox      ok , let me give some intro first.  i am a hardcore driving maniac and  till on today i have 4 vehicles at a time in my garrage.   an amby  of 2004, an scorpio crde of 2007,and an tata manza lx quadrajet of 2013, the last one is the mighty sumo gold of2013.   Simply to say it is the revolutionary product from tata.   Engine performance, power , pick up , space, comfort everything  is very good.  Till date it has run 10000 km in last eight monthes without any issues. Engine is very  very powerful and is  very smooth and well tuned  with a decent mileage of 13 in highway and 11 -12 in city conditions. Ac is super chilled. Pickup is good  but obviously not like scorpio but still it is  good.  It easily touches 100 -110 km/hr without any extra push in throttle.  But after that  it accelerates slowly.    I have once touched  140 , but didnot try over that. Heard it can touch 155.  Sumo gold is at its best  in 80-100 in respect of everything. Anything beyond  that is extra strain to the vehicle . visibilty from drivers seat  and  space is best in its segment.  Easily can accomodate 10 persons with sufficient leg space.  Ac is also very good.   absolutely no issues till date. I have taken it to many long drives  and it performed excellently.   it is a good buy if you go for it.  Price is very reasonable  .  Actually you get a monstrous suv at the cost of a sedan. Only the nagging part is  its engine sound  and vibration which is like the  old sumos and shifting gear is slightly hard. But overall it is a very good suv at the most affordable price. Just go for it. 

 

Ride Quality & Handling

 

Final Words

 

Areas of improvement  

 

 

evrything except interiorsgear shifting is to some extrnt hard, interiors have less charateristics and the sound of engine

Again a good valuable product from the house of TATA.

Acceleration and engine performance is good.

Power steering is too good and even better than XUV, I have tried almost all the vehicle in the market. But top speed and quality of the interiors should improve. It is easy to handle for me, as I have tried sumo's all variants since a decade. Good product, you need have a second thought about purchasing this vehicle if it fits your budget. You cant compare with Duster or Eco sport.

It stands apart for the money you pay to Tata, Powerful engine to ride, Ride quality is good. I got stuck once in muddy and clay soil, all three wheels where struck in mud, but the vehicle's power is tremendrous that I could manage to take off the vehicle in heavy rains. Maximum speed I have tried is 135.

Power is the high light of this vehicle :)

Power steering, No vibration, Good engine performanceTop speed is less

Exterior Nothing great. good old sumo.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dont buy the 9 seater. The 7 seater is a better model for space inside.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gives about 9 in the city with AC and around 13 on the highway with AC.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is good. I have driven it upto 125kmph on highways and is still solid. though the braking at high speeds is not great. i would advise that you stick about 100kmph. mileage is great between 80-90 kmph. you will get about 14 km/lt. The suspension is very bumpy especially if there are fewer than 5 people in the car

Final Words Not good for personal use for local driving. Great for family on long distance.

Areas of improvement Clutch is a known problem in the Sumo gold. It can be very hard. Suspension is poor. Lot of rattling.

Very poor service from Aadya motors bangalore. They are unable to fix the suspension, clutch and alignment issues from the beginning. My sumo is 9 months old and they are still trying to fix these problems. I have taken it to them 10 time so far with no respite.

value for money, good for long distance, easy to ddrivepoor clutch in the sumo gold, not good when few people are riding, poor suspension

Hi Fuel average 20 somethingMinimum tents passing very nice Tata sumo but average 20 per kilometre and passing 10 people sit and talk in a C bank AC Gear system smoothAC powerful front seat back seat

Exterior I Brought this Mechanical Monster by November 2012. In past two Months i Made 20,000Kilos. Not a Spare i was made to Change. Oil service Done. It got Smoother after 15000. Trust Worthy Product of Tata Motors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Not a Huge Change in interiors. Feeling The Same As Victa. Same Dashboard, AC console. Center console is awesome, White Backlighted console with Tachometer and Odometer. Sharp.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good Pick up. Superb turbo Humming, will Hear To the Turbo Humming and Drive Happily. 0 - 80 is Quick in acceleration, But later takes a lot time. Have to rev the engine more. A Decent mileage of 15 with AC in decent Driving, Vaery decent for a 3000cc Engine with 2.5 tonnes Vehicle. Gear Box is not Changed Yet, the same Long Moves For Gear shifts.

Ride Quality & Handling Driving with a jam packed of 10 persons inside makes more smoother Ride. Improved suspension, Nice to drive. Handling is nice. Never makes a strain to Drive such a big monster.

Final Words Worth the money. Dont Just see the outlook alone while choosing the vehicle, The Mechanicals matters more.

Areas of improvement Outlook shoukl have been Given a Change. Should have improver aesthetics too. No roof blowers in top end (GX). I own a GX, no big Features there compared to Lower ends. Clutch noise is more, Same as a 1994 Sumo. No change in clutch system. Same good old noisy oil Clutch mechanism Used.

Superb Engine, Class in Mileage, Good AC, Good Handling, Spacious.Same Old Boxy Shape

I drive this suv above 1 lakh kms without no any major problem .it gives excellent mileage upto 80-90 km about 14 km per litre Upto 1 lakh kms no problem in suspension . Till now original suspension works well I bought this car in2012 till now no any problems in starting .Very good vehicle better than S2 Scorpio .Ac and power steering works excellent .

 I purchased this car on 05/09/2014. Air conditioner stopped working after six months and there was leakage in power steering oil. I complained about this many times but AC is still not repaired after one and half year. From one month my car is in tata service centre Allahabad but still not repaired and now they are saying that your warranty has expired after one and half year while at the time of purchase they were saying that it has warranty of 3 years. I purchased it on 05/09/2014 but in tata service centre database it is showing january 2014. Now they are asking for 8000/- Rs. for repairing AC while car is in warranty. All this is happening after complaining to top officials of tata via email.Built quality of car is bad and tata after sales services is worst. company is doing emotional blackmail only and making fool to customers at the time of sell.Dont go on Leon Messy (New brand ambassador of Tata)or tata nano (to show that company is doing social service by making low cost cars). All this is on TV or newspapers.The reality is at service centre and after sales services and it is very hard to find parts of the tata cars outside service centre .
