The New TATA SUMO Grande!

If this is the New TATA Sumo Grande then all I can I say is that get ready for an amazing New Safari! A new SUV to replace the current Safari is in the works and should be launched by end of 2008 or early 2009.

TATA has taken the battle to the Scorpio and Innova with this SUMO no doubt. With very contemporary styling and the new refined 2.2 engine doing duty in this monster it looks like a win win.

Any clue as to when the new safari cld be out as this will kill the current "new 2.2" as it is the old shape?

Hi p...

No news on the ALL NEW Safari yet but looks like late 2008 to early 2009. As you know the present design is 10 years old now so an all new design is long overdue. Can't wait!!!

with the acquisition of LR, Tata may simply bring the LR3 / Freelander in as a replacement! Yipee!!

I don't think TML has yet reached the manufacturing prowess to match Land Rover Production Quality levels.

Having said that if they do build a LR here in India it will be awesome and probably my next truck!!!

Hi,

I too have a Safari VTT 4*4 and as you suggested I have also installed vkool film etc. It is a wonderful cruiser and capable to deal with the appalling road conditions in Kerala.

There is only one problem. A persistent low frequency vibration. Are you aware of any place where they do a professional sound dampening job? If so please give me details.
