Based on Tata Motors’ new IMPACT design language, the Tata Hexa is a replacement to Aria crossover that failed to gain traction in the segment. Sporting muscular looks and aggressive stance, Hexa is another good option in the 7-seater family vehicle segment. It is not only spacious on the inside, but it is also stuffed with a host of comfort and safety features. As for the engine options, it is available with a 2.2-litre VARICOR 320 and 2.2-litre VARICOR 400 diesel engines. The Hexa carline is offered with manual and automatic transmissions.

It features honeycomb mesh grille, projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights and silver finished skid plate.
