Tata Hexa Dimensions
The Tata Hexa is based on the same platform that underpins the Aria, but the SUV features a raised ride height to help it really go off-road.
Tata Hexa Design And Features
The Tata Hexa features a very aggressive design up front with smoked projector headlamps flanking Tata’s signature grille. The muscular front bumper plays host to a large central air dam which is flanked on either side by the integrated DRL and fog lamps and kept safe from the rough stuff by a skid plate. On the sides, the profile of the Hexa does remind you of the Aria and the new SUV sits on either 16-inch steel wheels or 19-inch alloys.
At the rear, rectangular wraparound taillamps feature flexible LEDs and are connected by a chrome strip housing the Tata logo.
The Hexa features a black sporty interior with sculpted seats and space for either 6 or seven occupants. Also present are ambient mood lighting and Tata’s ConnectNext infotainment system by Harman which features a 5-inch touchscreen with voice commands and other connectivity options along with a 10-speaker audio system by Harmann.
Tata has also crammed the Hexa with all the safety tech available including 6 airbags (front, side, and curtain airbags along with ABS with EBD, ESP, hill hold control, hill descent control, and a traction control system.
