This dealer is Tejaswi motors near hi-tech city area. I cannot imagine dealership attitude in the middle of HI-TECH city. Anyway I did not give up and went to other dealer near by. He is better but not in the leagues of Hyundai or NEXA. He promptly took care of me trying to explain. I told him I am aware of the variantsfeatures etc. let us go for test drive. He was very good and asked me to test drive on broken roads as well as on open roads.
I really liked automatic transmission in XTA. Best of the three (Innova, XUV and Hexa) I drove in last 3 three days. It is very eager and had enough power from the GO it is well connected through out Overall better experience than what I expected. I almost made up my mind but
- family sitting in the middle felt vibrations are very high on stop go traffic. We are new to diesel vehicles (all cars so far are petrol. current one being City). I felt vibrations in Innova as well but lesser than HEXA. Not sure if it is do anything with test drive car (this is what I told family trying to convince them)
- I am big fan of safety kit. I always wonder why government is not mandating all car makers to provide safety kits as optional pack for all variants of any car. This car misses ESC/TCS for no reason and not able to understand why. I tested hill hold on XTA seems to be working ok. Brochure says Hill Hold is in-built in XTA. There are two tiny buttons in steering wheel. Sales person told me those are hill hold/hill descent buttons on XTA. not sure it is really that.
- slightly higher ingress/egress
- heavy steering feel at low speeds.

Still contemplating between XTA vs Hyundai SX(O) AT ( I know both are in different league). Both these cars miss ISOFIX Child Seat Anchors. Not sure how critical is this. I have small kid and I put him in child seat using ISOFIX mounts on my City.

I feel you should visit Venkataramana motors near the Gachibowli flyover will be better. They have if i mistake not atleast 2 Hexa specalist with them. I am sure you will get a better experience. It is too good a car to be missed out because of some idiotic sales rep.

Compass launch makes TATA to rethink to woo buyers to HEXA. Puts out a comparative flyer!

Attractive pricing and outstanding features may attract buyers to the new Jeep Compass but Tata Motors is of the opinion that the Hexa wins over buyers as the better of the two.

Here is a comparative spec of the players in this segment,

I guess Tata Motors was aware of the Jeep Compass pricing & positioning, that could be a reason why they repositioned Hexa way before the launch of Compass with GST.
Also these materials are for internal purposes only , this is the way a salesman would be trained for all brands , it would be more fun if we get these data for all brands .

One other thing to note is that Tata Motors has already readied enough room in terms of pricing for the XZ variants ! are they coming soon ?
A Nexon kind of smart key band with display & bigger touch screen possibly with Android auto & Apple car play in stores it seems, they have already hinted about the sun roof too !
I would personally prefer to have more 4X4 variants for Hexa on lower variants & on AT variants to complete the package !

Meanwhile does Creta have all wheel disc brakes ?

No CRETA does not come all wheel disc brakes. Elantra has all wheel disc brakes.

I would like to see TATA adding Electronic Stability Control and Roll Over Mitigation, child seat anchors etc. to HEXA AT variants which for some reason missing right now.

Not sure why we are comparing Creta and Compass with Hexa. For hexa i feel competition is XUV and Innova. Creta and compass fall into compact SUVs. So Ecosport, Breeza, Nexon etc would be thier competition. and for that Creta is highly overpriced. Comparing it with hexa creta looses on all fronts with hexa, save few tiny tidbits like may be automatic headlamps, cruise control, paddle gear shifts, heated seats (not required in hot country like ours)

Why are you forgetting the venerable Duster ? Brilliant engines, unmatched ride quality, best boot space amongst the 5-seater SUVs , decent off-roadability in 2WD and also the least expensive AWD option thus far.

Are you seriously comparing the Creta with the others?.... no 4WD, no AWD..... only the candyfloss frills[:)]
Click to expand...
Ive had cars with AWD and FWD side by side and theres literally no need for it for 99% of people/places

Also "candy floss frills" do matter, I doubt anyone would buy the Hexa if it had Sumo features
Creta is a no brainer for a city like Mumbai where Innova and Hexa feel fairly out of place and cumbersome....

Apparently in the Nexon and Jeep Compass threads , people are busy comparing Honda City, Creta, Nexon,Compass, Fortuner, Hexa, innova etc
People will buy what suits them best

Guys, came across this awesome video of Tata Hexa crossing river / water stream. And guess what, its just a XTA variant. I don't have any complaints now on their direct take on Jeep Compass - "Takes you Anywhere, No Compass required ! - No other way to say it. There - We said it." Period.

When was the last time we saw such powerful lines from TML on their products. Sales depend on many factors but they are quite confident on their offering. Kudos TML [clap]

Same video in top view to get an idea of the water depth:

But as auto enthusiasts, we can put things in better perspective by comparing apples to apples, right ?[thinking]

Aah! kkn13, I'm afraid I must take issue with you on this![:)] I might be in a minority, but I regularly feel the need for 4WD/AWD every time I make one of our frequent trips to Uttaranchal. Even tho' our Scorpio is RWD only, we still manage to claw our way up to our property (a handkerchief sized plot off the beaten track in Naintal distt - no paved road yet!) and we have occasionally come across FWDers in difficulties on the way to adjoining plots. We have rallied around and sorted out the problem with help from the locals. And even tho' the Scorpio has taken us there & back every time without getting stuck, it has been touch & go at times! And this is where I have felt that the 4WD option would have been a sensible choice.
