Tata Hexa Downtown Urban Edition

Tata Motors will soon launch a special edition version of the Hexa crossover. The Hexa is Tata’s flagship car and competes with the Mahindra XUV500, the Toyota Innova Crysta and the newly launched Jeep Compass. The Downtown Urban edition is intended to make the crossover more interesting and create some buzz around the brand.


Apart from the new Urban Bronze colour, the new special edition Hexa also comes with other cosmetic updates like chrome pack suit, which includes chrome treatment for the front grille, headlamps, ORVMs, and side body cladding. The exterior updates made to the SUV also includes - a side step, new 16-inch alloy wheels, and, of course, the 'Downtown' badging.


The cabin has also been updated, which now comes with new premium tan seat covers and new carpet set. It also comes with some new gizmos likes - LED Heads-Up Display (HUD) with speed limits alerts, battery voltage indication, and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), wireless charging, and also an entertainment player with a 10.1-inch display for rear seat passengers. These two will only be offered with the top-end XT and XTA variants of the Hexa Downtown Urban Edition.
Mechanically, the Tata Hexa Downtown Urban Edition will remain unchanged and gets the same 2.2-litre, 4-cylinder, diesel engine, which comes in two states of tune - 148 bhp and 154 bhp. In both options, you get a peak torque of 320 Nm and 400 Nm respectively. The base model, which gets the 148 bhp option comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, while all the variants above it get a 6-speed manual unit as standard along with a 6-speed automatic torque converter as an option.
Price of the new Tata Hexa Downtown Urban Edition is yet to be revealed but based on the host of new features offered with the package we expect the car to come with a premium of at least ₹ 20,000 to ₹ 50,000 based on the variant you choose.
Cosmetic changes on the exteriors and feature additions on the interiors are the major changes on the Downtown Urban edition. The crossover gets a new brown (Urban Bronze) paint job which is specific to the special edition. There are two exterior packages – –Absolute and Indulge.
Both packages add chrome highlights to the exteriors, to cater to Indian buyers’ love for all things shiny. The headlamp and tail-lamp surrounds, wing mirrors and side profile get the additional chrome bits. The exteriors of the crossover also get downtown badging and side steps.
The key differences between the Absolute and Indulge packages are on the interiors. The Absolute package adds tan seat covers. The Indulge package adds alloy wheels to the lower trims. On higher trims, the Indulge package adds Blaupunkt infotainment screens behind the front seats for the rear passengers, a HUD for the dashboard, reading out speed limit alerts, battery voltage and tyre pressure information. Both packages also add wireless smartphone charging, new carpeting and a car care kit.
Mechanically, the Hexa will remain unchanged. The 2.2 liter turbo diesel engine will be offered in two states of tune. The lower variant will get 148 Bhp and 320 Nm state-of-tune, while the higher variant will get the 154 Bhp and 400 Nm state of tune. The engine in the lower state-of-tune will get a 5 speed manual gearbox, and will be rear wheel driven. The more powerful version will get 6 speed manual and automatic gearbox options, along with rear wheel drive and all wheel drive options.
The Hexa has done well despite the launch of the Jeep Compass in India. Tata seems to be working hard to sustain the success by making constant product interventions like the latest special edition models. The Hexa is sold in 5 variants – XE, XM, XMA, XT and XTA. Prices start from Rs. 11.72 lakhs. Prices of the special edition models will soon be announced.

Nissan Note

The premium hatchback market in India is a growing segment for sure. Some of the big players such as Maruti , Hyundai , Honda , and Volkswagen etc. have a good presence in this particular segment. Nissan, on the other hand, has never had a premium hatchback in its portfolio for India. There might be a possibility of Nissan changing this situation. We mean to say that the Nissan Note has been spotted testing in India. The Note is a sub-four metre hatchback from Nissan which could be introduced in India and rival the likes of Maruti Suzuki Baleno , Hyundai i20 , Honda Jazz and so on. The model that has been spotted testing is a 'Medalist' variant, which we are guessing, is the top-spec variant which gets a bunch on premium touches such as newly designed 15-inch alloys, cosmetic updates and newly designed fog lamps as well. The rear bumper has parking sensors along with the tail-gate getting a 'Medalist' badge. The Note gets a 1.2-litre petrol engine whi...

Top 10 rarest car

10. 1957 JAGUAR XKSS Robb Report One of the most sought out classic Jags, only 16 of the 1957 Jaguar XKSS were ever made. While the first on our list, due to the comparatively larger number of cars produced, this by no means indicates a lesser value or cost. These rare classic cars were first sold in the 50s and went for about $5,000. Now, of course, we know that today it is worth far more than its original price in 1957. As of 2014, the estimated value of the Jaguar XKSS owned by Steve McQueen’s is $30 million . So, while there may have been a larger amount made, it is possibly one of the most rare expensive cars as well for now. With recent news that Jaguar is producing  nine more XKSS’s  it is possible the estimated value of the XKSS might go down.  The story behind the making of the XKSS begins with the iconic Jaguar D-Type. Faced with a problem of what to do with the remaining 29 unsold D-Types back in the 50s, Jaguar went forward with the idea of transf...
