Feeling proud after seeing two indian companies trying to dominate car market.
Rohit yea👍🏻👍🏻
Both companies need to invest heavily in research & development to dominate the car market like Toyota & Volkswagen.
+Aakash Sahu Not need to invest, TATA need to learn from its child Jaguar and LR and Mahindra need to learn from Ssangyong.
Rohit Dude what I am saying is they need to develop their own new technologies that can directly compete with the others in the global market. Sure, they can learn from LR & Jaguar, or other car manufacturers, can tweak or refine the existing engines but we are still lagging behind in terms of new innovation. Look the investments made in Japan, Germany or any other nations in research & development. Sure they are developed countries, but we are not also behind. There is a reason why we are still lagging in terms of new technologies and we have to import technologies. We have enough aspiring scientists and engineers that can be put in the automobile research sector, but due to lack of research equipments and motivation, many are flying to different countries and ultimately contributing their economy.
Long story short, I want TATA and Mahendra or any other Indian car manufacturer to dominate the global market in the future and we should be exporter of new technologies rather than importing.
Yes......Time Indians trust Home grown companies and likewise companies deliver better than the international standards.
Am I the only one who feels happy for TATA?
rocketlaunch99 me too❤.. always a safari guy.now hexa too..man❤❤ wish I cud own her
me too
From aria to hexa, big leap
Yes
I'm with you
MNM n TATA need to kick out Maruti Suzuki out of India ! People think Maruti Suzuki is a Indian brand which is wrong and they make most unsafe and uncomfortable cars unless Maruti Suzuki gets out of Indian market Indians won't buy safe , comfortable n powerful cars !!
Roshan Kumar Dixit Exactly, Maruti Suzuki is not pure indian. Its an Indo-Japanese Partnership or alliance.
"Indo-Japanese Partnership or alliance." No more its completely owned by SUZUKI now the only reason why you dont see MARUTI logo or badge on the cars at NEXA
Roshan Kumar Dixit you say Maruti Suzuki makes unsafe cars? what about the 10Lakh+ Scorpio which gets 0 star crash rating and a unstable structure??
Still Maruti is unsafe , Its only due to maruti other manufacturers are bound to cut prices which results in further compromise to safety , In order to play in a price sensitive market i.e India , I don`t care what MARUTI fan boys think or say MARUTI i.e SUZUKI is responsible for compiling other manufacturers to cut prices and make unsafe cars !!!!!!
I hate maruti/suzuki !
Roshan Kumar Dixit yes maruti Suzuki does fool Indians a lot, but Scorpio also failed.
Finally.. a decent vehicle from TATA motors worth considering.
rajTrondhjem10 what about the zest and the Tiago.... they have proved to be good too their respective segments
zest and bolt were also nice... and dont forget tiago
yeah
Harsh Ks next the nexon and rigor. and from tamo racemo
sorry that's tigor
Hexa is perfect. Drive is very smooth. Go and take a test drive, u will love it. Sure.
Now tata is changed, it's real Tata. Love it.
The game changer H.E.X.A.
Hexa is very smooth and comfortable to use!
Tata motors is rocking the game....Nexon is next
Nexon is worst
@@gavin9715 you are worst
@@gavin9715 whyyyyy
Just bought Hexa 4x4 XT 6-seater. Hope it will enhance pleasure of driving after using Suzuki SX4 for 11 years.
That legend died 😓😓
Hexa wins it.Quality speakers,Premium look.
Tata hexa is sexier, macho, trusted manufacturer, mature.
hexa is better and more luxurious plus hexa is more comfortable better handels on highway
now a days highways are also quite chaotic & hexa will be used as a taxi for sure
Swadesh Deepak u seriously don't have patriotism and hexa is a really really very good car and not a taxi type car
Swadesh Deepak bro bmw and every costly cars are also used in taxi.....
taxi mean comfortable for every one
ohhhk bro... 😅
People will still choose the XUV over the Hexa. That's because the XUV was so successful when it came out. Also, when it comes to SUVs, people always prefer Mahindra over Tata. Yeah, the fit and finish of the XUV may not be as good as the Hexa, but it's the longer equipment list and the better interiors that'll attract Indian buyers. So for me, XUV wins this one.
Mihir Katkar XUV hasLonger equipment just and better interiors? Better read the specs sheet again, except the power adjustable driver seat and sun roof, hexa tops xuv by a huge margin.
Wait a minute,
Steering - HEXA : Heavy in slow speeds, confidence indulging at higher speeds.
XUV 5OO: Light is slow speeds, wobbly/not so confidence indulging at higher
speeds.
Suspension - HEXA -Firm, Good at low speeds, great at higher speeds.
XUV 5OO - Light, good at low speeds, bumpy at high speeds.
Of the two one is made to cruise on good highway - bad highway or let's say any type of road and the other is made to drive well in cities & on good surfaces. (Considering Manual Transmission, 4x2)
TaTa is the best...Royal. Value for money. Best for Indian roads.
Finally Tata have worked on both interior n exterior..
I tried the captain seat version of Hexa and it sure felt more comfortable than Crystal's captain seats. Not sure why they picked the manual transmission for both of them. In my opinion automatic should be pitted against each other.
Raghav Sehgal
Coz they who the winner is....(Tata Hexa)
she driving hexa like big truck....
Tata has evolved a lot and hexa is priced well
it's TATA MOTORS turn now ,
Hexa feels a lot premium than XUV with lesser sticker price than XUV and way more practicality than XUV like usable bootspace , sunblinds vs sunroof , capable 4X4 vs AWD ,
The heavy weight of Hexa is also complementing it in many ways like High speed stability, ride comfort comparable to exotic Germans & also hoping to score higher in crash tests !
one more thing which Hexa gonna score is the KMPL - kitna deti hei , crucial question in India right ? despite weight & Powerful engine this gonna make some hatches in shame !
kudos to TEAM TATA MOTORS for bringing up this well rounded product !!
3000+ pre-booking shows how well the car is accepted .
cheers 👍
naxjang netr well said :) Tata motors is rocking again
Sunroof is available as an official accessory now for HEXA
Good to see that the quality of cars are increasing with time in indian market.
Hi Renuka, You are the main reason me going for Hexa a year back with your review. I am really happy. Thanks again
Hexa & XUV 500 both are WOW. Both has stuffed features. Both has amazing Interiors & Exteriors.
Both XUV & Hexa are well refined engine with loaded features.
hexa has hydraulic and xuv has electric steering
Vishwas Reddy dsnt matter on an suv.. infact electric PS feels better on an suv
It does matter, because electronic power steering does not provide ample feedback from the road, which is a must while driving on highways (Also while driving off-road).
Xuv has hydraulic power steering.. Not EPS..
+Himanshu Sarswat
First correct ur self that EPS does not give enough feedback over the road.
Second At present all the cars and veichile 99% come with EPS, Who told u that Hexa does not have EPS, both Xuv and Hexa come with EPS. Tata and Hyundai Promote it as HPS and others Like Honda and Maruti as EPS.
+Himanshu Sarswat And yes please don't argue on my words coz I am an Automobile trainer for last 7 years.
can mail me if u want.
I'm about to get one Tata hexa
vimal jagathish how’s ur experience sir plz share
Vimal Pan masala congrats that you buying TATA HEXA, i will inform this to Ratan TATA
Folks..you gotta get this straight..this is the second generation of XUV500 ..so it has gone through a lot of changes based on the customer feedback. TATA Hexa is a very new vehicle..the real challenge for TATA is to take the feedback seriously and do the changes quickly to keep customers(atleast the newer ones) happy....Just launching the car is not enough..they have to follow it through..like Audis and Mercedes...No car is perfect on the first day..Hope Tata listens(actively) to their customers..for Hexa
Unfortunately this a second generation of HEXA in a indirect way. The first generation was ARIA launched before the XUV500. It failed to take off mainly due to its pricing among other small factors. They revamped it naming it HEXA giving it a more bold look to match against the XUV500..but still there is one point I agree, the companies need to actively listen to customer feedbacks and implement the changes.
Mayur Nayudu hexa is second generation of aria
well, i guess i can compromise sunroof for rich interiors...hexa totally wins man!
2280 kgs of weight more than fortuner which is 2135 kgs tata you really surprised us with your safety norms
Tata Hexa Price in India
Tata Hexa XE 4×2 MT Rs 11.99 Lakh
Tata Hexa XM 4×2 MT Rs 13.85 Lakh
Tata Hexa XT 4×2 MT Rs 16.20 Lakh
Tata Hexa XT 4×4 MT Rs 17.49 Lakh
Tata Hexa XMA 4×2 AT Rs 15.05 Lakh
Tata Hexa XTA 4×2 AT Rs 17.40 Lakh
All the above trims will be offered in both 6 Seater and 7 Seater configurations with Automatic and Manual Gearbox
Hexa' s headlights are really good looking
Aryan exactly
Hexa is stylish man.. would it launch in the UAE???I think it would best for dessert as well
i disliked the video because i felt that the judgement was quite wrong and the hexa should have won
Hexa is longer,wider and taller than xuv500 looks muscular in 19 inch alloy if you have xuv500 you like your car but if you are going for new car you must test drive both you will definitely choose Hexa.Xuv500 has more aggressive front look but Hexa is better from all angles and premium quality interior whIle xuv500 has cheap quality plastic interior.
XUV has more features(Sunroof, Keyless Entry, Start/Stop Button, TPMS, Powered Driver Seat) and lighter yet strong monocoque chassis which aids greats handling and performance with proven reliability, though the interiors of XUV feel a bit outdated when compared with Hexa. An Android Auto Infotainment update is going to come to XUV soon in 2017.
Hexa gets Comfortable Captain Seats option with 10 speaker JBL system which is not available in XUV. Zero boot space in XUV when using third row. 19 inch alloy wheels are segment first, bigger than Mercedes GLS!
Hexa's 2.3 ton weight( Endeavour territory) dulls performance a fair bit. A V6 diesel from their Jaguar-Land Rover stable would have been killer and one of a kind for a desi brand!
The top automatic variant of Hexa the XTA misses out important safety features like ESP with Rollover Mitigation, Traction Control, Hydraulic Brake Assist from its manual siblings XT and XT 4x4. Why is that?
Anyways i wish all the best to TATA and want to see them continue their success from Tiago. The impact design philosophy has done wonders by giving their cars a premium touch. Hopefully the upcoming Kite5 Tiago sedan and Nexon continues to move the game forward for TATA.
Cheers!
Saravana Kumar xuv isn't strong
Saravana Kumar i agree with the v6 but they wont do it
Vishwas Reddy
XUV scored a good 4-Star rating in Australian ANCAP safety rating. This translates to a strong impact absorbing body during a crash, it also has 6 airbags.
Flash Parker
Yes, sadly it's a missed opportunity.
How many times do you use Sunroof in cities in India? I do not see that as an useful feature all. Start /Stop button is something I agree that HEXA should have and going by the feedback, they might introduce it sooner that later. TPMS, are you kidding me... you can get your very own TPMS at a fraction of the cost from outside. Powered Driver Seat again agreed that HEXA should have. On the opposite side, look at the safety equipment list (which can save your life) and then you would start appreciating HEXA.
HEXA is loaded with features:
Six Airbags
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Electronic Brake-Force Distribution
Electronic Brake Pre-fill
Traction Control
Engine Immobilizer
Rear Parking Sensors
Rear Parking Camera with Active Guidelines
Projector Headlamps
Chrome Applique on Radiator Grille
MID for Instrument Console
Touchscreen Infotainment System
19-inch Alloy Wheels
Faux Skid Plate
Premium Taillights
Dual Exhaust Pipes
Premium Leather Upholstery
10-Speaker JBL Audio System
Leather-wrapped Steering Wheel
All Wheel Drive by Borg Warner
Driving Modes
Ambient Lighting for Cabin
ConnectNext App Control
These features are enough to understand which one is better
Mahindra lacks that finish in interior, Service of Mahindra is worst as we had owned a scorpio we know how it is, Mahindra is always like a car built on Goods vehicle platform. I do not know why Renuka Ma'am is so fancy about lighter steering, in high speed if the steering is light it affects stability and feels less confident in corners.
Anyways TATA have bought up a good competator for XUV 500.
for ppl asking for comparison in Innova, please stop it they not will be uncomapareable. Since it is Best of its breed and class ahead.
Cheers,
TATA
Shashank Bn I agree ...for city light steering of xuv is nice but ....hexas well weighted steering would be way better for highway cruising
It's still comparable with Innova
Pls tell me about scorpio, I am planning to buy S7 model
rishabh batra Don’t Go For S7 Go For S10 Diesel orelse XUV 500 W10
can you do a Hexa vs Tucson vs Xuv comparo?
Great review.. Really enjoyed ......clear all the confusions...thnks👍👍
Guys give Mahindra some time since xuv is launched in 2015 and hexa is released in 2017 and you know technology's gets better day by day
XUV500 is ages behind for now though having few electronic features inside and bigger touchscreen multimedia system. Tata HEXA is unbeatable right now in the class. XUV500 is completely left off with the class, it doesn't come in SUV as well as MPV. It can be count in compact SUV category. I would like to say one more thing, Tata HEXA is Hercules. Its huge and heavy and I love it. I can't see it getting compared to any lower category car.
Took test drive of both car. Riding comfort in hexa beats xuv 500 by margin. Xuv 500 is more fun to drive but in safety department hexa scores as it's well built than xuv 500. Hexa is also more spacious. Gear box of hexa could have been better.
tata has improved a lot... wow... proud indian
Its time for Indians to support Indian manufactured cars, since they have been trying their best to give Indians quality cars we should give them support at our best, leave Japanese or Europeans cars and start purchasing Indians cars.
tata has packed a punch.. Totally amazing... The vehicle is a lot more easier to turn and and the gear box is smooth. the review given here by auto car is not so genuine
Clearly I think hexa is winner
Both are SUVs are awesome in their own way... It's the customer's work to choose the better... I went out for a test drive in Innova crysta, XUV500, isuzu mux and hexa... Me and my dad were very much impressed with hexa and its justification for its price... Congo Hexa...
even if the hexa has more power, it is the xuv which is quicker!
thus fun to drive!
Joe Paul Joy no hexa is a lot faster...
Joe Paul Joy exactly bro
Yes your are correct
Some Unknown Channel.. What a foolishness?? Hahaha.. Comedy of the year.. Xuv is always quicker than hexa..
and it's the Hexa 😎
Pawan Yeotikar
I own zest and must say that Tata really needs to work on the gear box. that's one thing that bugs me a lot. The car on the whole is very good.
simply a very good and transparent review.. nailed to the key points. nicely touched topics of comparison as well. loved it..
Great review as usual. I was thinking about buying a Scorpio S6+ but now with that same price I can buy the base model of HEXA, so please suggest me which car should I buy? In terms of driving and comfort. Thank you in advance :)
Rishabh Sahrawat Hexa is way ahead of scorpio
will buy tata hexa in year 2018 for the upgrade of tata sumo grande.superb in every aspects, love the brilliant engineering that gone up to make this vehicle.
being indian
proud to own tata vehicle.
Xuv500 is best 😍😍😍
If you Look for Quality, Safety and Comfort go with HEXA
If you look for Sunroof, Space at driver seat then go for XUV 500
Wait for the mahindra xuv500 2018
Good Luck Tata Motors....Happy to see the improvement in design
autocar can u please suggest me what to buy among xuv nd hexa??
plan to buy xuv .....w10 manual
want your opinion@kirplani
Hexa that has been launched does not have issues specified in video especially heavy steering. actually the steering is light and this video has been created using Hexa that was tested many months back.
Tata hexa Xm (or) xuv 500 w7 which one should I buy..? @autocar
sir which is best among these 2?
Such a large turning radius for the hexa?
for all reviewers plz test drive with all passengers.
driving alone wont give you the feedback the customer wants.
xuv looks grt
both xuv 500 and hexa are the best ,🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
we are proud of our brands Mahindra and Tata
Please have a comparison test between Tata Hexa and Ford Endeavour!!!
No need.. endeavour is 😍
now this is real compitition b/w indian brands. Tata hexa looks premium while xuv also but to some extent. on the other hand Tata should improve their low budget car so it will effect on hexa like products. Mahindra have a good range in india. Tata also have but people think that Tata comes under taxi cars. i will be very great to see this kind of cars in all around the worls. i love Mahindra and i love TJLR . And who wants flex handling in suv cars
please ...hexa vs innova
Siddharth Kumar 3 way?
Siddharth Kumar hexa
Well, no point of testing. Hexa cannot compete the standards of Innova. Innova has been the king of MPVs and still it is the king of MPVs.
Hexa looks properly Suv itself not look like a mpv and people will say that breeza and ecosport are suv when I hear this i get annoyed seriously
Hexa any day
I think the interior in hexa may look premium from inside but from the outside if you it's not that catchy like the xuv.
I think in design the xuv wins.
I saw TATA HEXA at showroon while i was on tata showroom for my tiago service
mean while looks awesome
interior is also good
nice sound system
and many others features
i love to buy tata hexa awd in manual transmission
only reason we can easily raced our car and quick pic-up during launch, sharp overtaking on highway and main very use full on hilly roads.
manual transmission have it's own pleasure
and sunroof is not useful in India
also TATA cars are strong in built quality and also use heavy material
[NOTE:- "those people whom are watch out the mileage in power full engine", i request those all people to buy maruti 800 and convert in to cng for good mileage, never buy powerful engines because powerful engine consumed fuel according to it's BHP ]
Which car should i buy for city xuv or hexa
automatic comparison should have made between these
nice review. why dont you give review with full load mainly talking about ride quality. there is significant difference in full load and single person.
what about the innova ?
tata should have priced it 1.5 lakh cheaper that can be a great package
(comparatively) which of these car gives:- low maintenance, reliability, good resale value, good after sale service.
The XUV500
did u see how many hexa and how many xuv 500 on the road xuv500 is far more better than hexa even they export to foreign countries
you must have switch on esp of xuv, that's why there in an under steer
Why Tata launches their SUV with the uses of extraordinary words: like more , more refined, more better?
Why they uses such words when they can't provide you a better service without true words.
also handling better than hexa because it has monocoque chassis
Those who complain about heavy steering. Is is a hydraulic unit in Hexa. Hydraulic units are known to provide more feedback than EPS.
XUV handling is very smooth
Comparison between new xuv500 and hexa
XUV best❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Hexa don't have any look
Prefer XUV500
toyota innova cryta ,xuv500 and tata hexa which one is better for family??
she's awesome nd her review always topnotch 😎
now this tym in refinement tata punches mahindra
Legend knows tata andbhakt sirf comments main tata tata karege lenge XUV 500 baap baap hota hai 💯🔥😝💯🔥
I like hexa more than mahindra xuv500
yeahhhh....just the review i wanted
That's true... I felt the gearbox too rubbery and putting it into reverse is a task.... But I'm proud that Hexa exists... My last Tata car was Indica which was horrible... Tata has come a long way ... really proud
0% resale value for tata. While selling tata's vehicle we get 1-2 lakhs just 3-5 years later. We spending 15-20 lakhs for tata cars and gets 1-2 lakhs.
Xuv is good in resale value because we wont get it for even 5 lakhs starting model which is 2011 model.
I think best is XUV
Tata Hexa is nice in shape and size compared to the big dum box of mnm XUV 500
Guys .... any idea about new civic India launch?
mam how to check second hand car suspension?
I LOVE XUV 5OO
Heavy steering & Heavy clutch is highly useful in High way driving .The heavier the car the better the built quality . That heavy weight won't cause a problem because it's 153 bhp compared to xuv 140 bhp .The more faster & highly stable car at high speeds will be Hexa .
buy new hyundai elantra petrol sx if you are shopping in this range and can live with 5 seats. its brilliant car !!
And ride at 120 kmph on 'Indian' roads.
