Not a lot of you will remember but Tata Motors gave India its first Multi Utility Vehicle (MUV) way back in 1997 which went by the name of Sumo. The Sumo, has since then, been re-christened and upgraded. The first upgrade took place in 2004 but perhaps the most comprehensive upgrade took place in 2008.
Since then, a lot has changed. The Mahindra Xylo has hit Indian roads and it is time for Tata Motors to get back to the drawing board and the result is the Tata Sumo Grande Mark ll. Let us find out what is really different in this new Sumo and how improved this version really is.
‘Facelift’ is probably the most abused term in the automotive world. Give a car new grille and new stickers and you are looking at a facelift. Give it bigger bumpers and you are looking at a major facelift. Give external indicators in the wing mirrors and what you could be looking at is a whole new model series.
