xenon XT
Rs 7.80 lakhs*

Positioned as a lifestyle SUV, and not a pick-up, Xenon XT is a five-seater powered by a 2.2 litre Dicor diesel engine and comes as a two-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive. Xenon’s tall structure is accentuated by trademark ‘Tata’ grille, integrated flared fenders, large wraparound clear headlamps, and impressive roof rails. In the interior the charcoal grey accent highlights the ambience that incorporates convenient features like power steering, power windows, central locking, HVAC and electrically adjustable ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors). It has a 4x4 with an electrical shift-on-the-fly mechanism and a limited slip differential. Electrical shift-on-the-fly mechanism holds the power to shift from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive while the car is moving and the limited slip differential helps to limit the speed and torque difference between two wheels. In addition, a rugged ladder frame structure, a matching suspension and alloy wheels improve the off road capabilities of the car. The load bed of the car is a 1518 mm x 1414 mm area that can be used to carry equipment for long journey and outings.

The side indicators are mounted on the outside rear view mirrors, while the roof rails come as standard to ease the further accessorisation of the vehicle.

It can be customised to suit individual tastes and styles through a wide range of accessories such as bed-liners, fog lamps, canopy, boot lid, rollover bars and the like which will be on sale along with the vehicle. Xenon has a length of 5.1m, width of 1.8 m and height of 1.7m. Cargo space is ample (1.40 x 1.40 x 1.40 meters) and can carry a payload capacity of 1,000 kilograms.

It also has a higher ground clearance of 200 mm, an approach angle of 24 degree, ramp break over angle of 15 degree and departure angle of 21 degree. It also has a water wading depth of 300 mm. Its higher ground clearance, high approach, ramp over, departure angles and the extra grip of the 4WD means you need not stop when the road ends. It is one cross-terrain pick-up that just doesn’t compromise on drivability even while off-roading. Xenon XT carries a warranty of 2 years or 75,000 kms (whichever is earlier).
