In the bustling automotive market of India, Tata Motors stands out with its distinctive safety-centric philosophy. One of the pivotal reasons behind the soaring sales of their cars is the incorporation of robust safety measures. A cursory glance at their fleet reveals a consistent five-star safety rating, making them an irresistible choice for the safety-conscious Indian consumer.
However, even with such a stronghold in the market, Tata Motors has a rather limited selection in the SUV segment. Addressing this gap, there are rumblings of the company contemplating the launch of a revamped version of the Tata Sumo. While there’s no official confirmation regarding the Sumo’s relaunch, media reports strongly hint at the possibility.
Historically, the Tata Sumo was sized similarly to the Bolero SUV. Now, the industry insiders speculate that the new Sumo might be built on the platform of the Tata Safari, making it larger in dimensions. Adding to its allure, the sturdiness comparable to the acclaimed Range Rover is anticipated, considering the shared chassis lineage. Currently, Tata’s offerings in the budget SUV segment are sparse, making the potential launch even more significant.
The revamped Tata Sumo, if equipped with contemporary specifications, could potentially dominate the market. The company seems to be emphasizing offering more features at a competitive price point. Preliminary feature expectations for the new Sumo include a larger infotainment screen, automatic climate control, cruise control, a dual-tone dashboard, compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear AC vents, six airbags, and several other advanced attributes.
However, as of now, there’s no concrete information regarding its launch date. If speculations hold any merit, the vehicle might not hit the roads until at least 2025. Nevertheless, the mere mention of the new SUV has piqued immense interest among consumers, with many eagerly awaiting its grand entry into the market.
