New GST price is very tempting. I was keen on XTA. But decided against it for not having ESP and roll over mitigation etc. Not sure why TATA missed those important features. Hopefully some wise men at tata fixes this problem. Regarding hill hold it says 'in-built' for automatic. Did anyone tested hill-hold function in XTA version?

^^ Congrats Raj, Wish your family many many safe miles. From the XUV , Hexa makes a good upgrade proposition - you should return back from Dubai so that we can have an ownership thread :biggrin:
Hey, so sorry for the late response.

Long time man, how are you? Life has been very hectic for the past some years and I rarely get time to go online & be an active part of forums.

Yes, the Hexa does feel like an upgrade from the XUV, albeit a small one. That is mainly due to the richer interiors with better NVH and a much more sorted ride. It does lack the punch of the mHawk 140 though.

Returning back to India - well, that is not planned in the near future. Dubai has better cars! You should see another ownership review soon! [glasses]

June sales figures pre-GST era,

Hexa - 550
Innova- 1068
XUV5OO - 1598
Hexa and XUV still survived without much impact last month but Innova fell very badly from Approx 5.5K+ units in MAY-17 month to a mere 1000 odd units. This shows no matter the numbers, atleast HEXA did not create inventory to a great extent among TATA dealers. Slow but Steady, HEXA!

Toyota had proactively not dispatched any significant volumes to dealers owing to the GST announcement.

That No ESP & Roll Over mitigation on XTA variant is non sense thing TML did with HEXA. I don't understand why XTA variant don't have these features. [frustration]

Would love to hear reason for that from fellow TAI members.

Here XUV5OO already a hit product in that segment & still shines. Good to see that. Want another Indian company product HEXA to do such miracles.

Its good to hope but practically it won't be possible as TATA isn't producing more 1000 units of Hexa.

Hope they increase their production capacity of Plant.
Still not more than 1000? even after 6 months? Why TML why? You have superb SUV/MPV with you after almost 10 years (no offence to Safari owners, its a good product but should have been updated properly by TML) and you don't have proper production facility in place. No need to add dealer issues & delivery problems which I read few pages back.

Seriously, it is bad.
And lack of ESP is easily noticable above 80 kmph.

Reason might be stupid Cost Cutting!

Don't know why TATA want to ruin themselves and break people's trust.
Many had cancelled due to waiting period.

Though it's reassuring to have ESP ,the reason might not be just cost cutting, The AT box is an adopted french unit & they might haven't completed the adaptation of the unit with the Tata's engine management system! Guess the missing features would be filled before Auto Expo 2018 including bigger head unit & sunroof !
For mahndra many things were easy as aisin AT unit, features like sunroof,power seats were straight lift from ssangyong .

The sales you have put is May 17 figures. Dealer dispatch is only what is accounted. See Crysta's numbers.

Dear TAIgers, let me take this opportunity to express my sincere apologies to you all for such a long delay in the Hexa road test review, it's just that the professional commitments and then the fresh admission in PGDM have got me into a soup. Anyhow, now things are getting back on the track and the review will be on very soon (Before Sunday itself, I am nearly done and some minor additions and changes are being carried out. In fact, I took 2 hours to drive Hexa again yesterday and, now making some more changes). Thanks a lot for your patience and apologies for the delay.
