Tata Sumo Grande MK II Launched in India

Indian carmaker Tata Motors recently launched an upgraded version of the Sumo in the domestic market. Dubbed Grande MK II, the car will be available in 3 variants, namely Gx, Ex, and Lx, with a seating capacity ranging between 7 and 9 seats in front and side facing configurations.

The vehicle will be available in three new colours, Walnut Gold, Platinum Beige and Castle Grey.

Exterior styling features for the Grande MK II include a new chrome lined grill, side rub rails with chrome inserts and indicators on ORVMs, while the interiors have been modified with a two tone theme complemented by a new faux wood centre console and new fabric upholstery.

Other features include a new steering wheel, grab handle for the third row passengers, dual HVAC with roof integrated louvers, motorised ORVMs, height adjustable driver’s seat and a CD/MP3 music system.

The changed drive ratio in the Grande MK II gives a boost to low speed performance in city driving conditions. While a modified suspension ensures a comfortable ride, particularly for second and third row occupants, optimised anti-roll bars reduce body roll to a minimum during cornering. The existing low NVH levels have been further refined.

The vehicle is powered by the new generation 2.2 litre DICOR engine fitted with a variable geometry turbocharger which delivers maximum power and torque of 120 PS and 250 Nm.
