Tata Motors, India's largest automobile manufacturer, unveiled the Tata Xover, a "crossover" vehicle concept, at the 75th Geneva Auto Show. Tata is building its first-ever MUV the Xover The Indicruz will compete with the Toyota Innova and the Mahindra Xylo. The vehicle showcases Tata's ideas of a modern crossover, a strong emerging segment globally. For the consumer, the Tata Xover will blend the benefits of a family-friendly luxury car with refined driving dynamics (having features like GPS tracking system) and the visual cues of an activity-oriented sports utility vehicle.
The Tata Xover, a 4.85-meter car, uses a rugged frame-based design with large interior space and flexible seating that can comfortably accomodate up to 7 adults and generous cargo area. Configured to be fitted with a range of Euro IV engines including Tata Motors' own next generation power-trains, the car would offer traction control, climate control with personalized zones, GPS navigation system, driver-, passenger- and side-airbags, anti-lock braking system, 4 wheel drive and other comfort, convenience and safety options.
The Tata Xover features the 32-bit 2.2-litre 16 valve DICOR engine which even powers the Tata Safari DICOR, Sumo Grande and the Xenon XT. The engine has two variants, one which produces 140bhp and the other which produces 120bhp. We predict Tata to increase the power of the Xover to 170bhp.Sporting 17-inch wheels, the car's superior ride-comfort and handling will be ensured by independent double wishbone coil spring suspension with a stabilizer bar in front, and a five-link suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bar at the rear.
Mr. Ratan N Tata, Chairman of the Tata Group said, "The Tata Xover demonstrates Tata Motors' desire and commitment to innovate and address new market segments". so now the xover is most awaited MUV from TATA motors in india.
