Should You Buy A Used Tata Hexa? Here Are Some Pros And Cons
Highlights
The Tata Hexa crossover was launched in 2017, and it was introduced to take on both MPVs like the Toyota Innova Crysta and SUVs like the Mahindra XUV500. The three-row vehicle had the styling and capabilities of an SUV, while the space and comfort of an MPV. While initially, it saw some decent success, it failed to have a lasting impressing on car buyers, and due to falling sales, Tata Motors discontinued the Hexa in 2020. However, you can still get the Tata Hexa in the used car market for anywhere between Rs. 8 lakh to Rs. 13 lakh. But before you start looking for one, here are some pros and cons you should consider.
The Tata Hexa was quite a capable vehicle with great ride quality and off-road capabilities.
Pros
- The Tata Hexa was quite a capable crossover. It was based on the same Tata X2 platform as the previous gen Safari and could thus handle the rough terrains with great ease. The Hexa offers great ride quality as well.
- When it came to cabin space, the Hexa was possible the best in its class. In fact, it's one of the few 3-row vehicles that can comfortably seat two adults in the third row, so if you are looking for a big people-mover, this will do the job well.
- Tata offered the Hexa with a more refined and less noisy version of its 2.2-litre Varicor diesel engine. The motor offered 154 bhp and a massive 400 Nm of peak torque. Transmission options included both manual and automatic units, and it was offered in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options.
The cabin of the Hexa looks a bit dated with too many buttons and the quality of the plastics is also not the best.
Cons
- The Hexa was not on sale for over two years now, and while right now it might not be a problem, in the long run, sourcing parts for the vehicle might become an issue, so be mindful of that.
- The cabin of the Hexa looks a bit dated with too many buttons and low-quality plastics. The touchscreen infotainment system was not the best and the Hexa missed out on features like - an electrically powered driver's seat, push-button start, etc. The initially launched Hexa did not get sunroof either.
- The Tata Hexa was never a volume player, which meant the company sold the vehicle in limited numbers, so you'll find limited options in the market.
