Re: The Story of Tata's Epic Journey from Trucks to Aria
Thanks buddy,even I too looked thrice when I found a pic of a Sumo in TOI saying "WE WON DESERT STORM",I mean a Grande or safari was okay but even a Sumo.This proves the reliability of our desi mechanicals.Rest I am yet to see other competiting SUVs do the same.AS MUCH I REMEMBER THE SUMO DOESN'T COME IN 4X4 TOO.
It won in Ndure category which is primary for 2wd vehicles.
