Tata, the leading Indian car manufacturer has finally launched the much hyped and most talked about car of the year, the Tata Hexa. All speculations are ended with this launch and the car has been launched into the market with 6 variants with the base model starting price of Rs. 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The car has been in talks since last few months with pre-booking from Nov. 2016.
Unless you are a professional, the Tata Hexa will seem very similar to your eyes to that of the Aria crossover, but in fact a lot many improvisations have been made in the former to match its class to the other leading Cars in the competitor segment such as the Mahindra XUV500 and Toyota Innova Crysta. Now let’s have a look on the Price list.
