Tata Xenon pick-up truck launched in India

Remember the Tata Telcoline pick-up truck? Here’s a just launched successor called the Tata Xenon. The Xenon is a basic, utilitarian pick-up truck, and this is reflected in the no-frills design, although there’s a unique upswept window line on the rear doors of the double cab.

The Xenon comes with two engine options, a 3.0L diesel engine with turbo and intercooler, and a 3.0L DICOR commonrail diesel engine. The former makes just 72 hp and 223 Nm, but the DICOR fares better with 115 PS and 300 Nm of torque. Tata also has a Euro 5 2.2L DICOR with variable geometry turbo, 150 PS and 320 Nm. Two variants are available – single cab and double cab.

Highlights include best-in-class points such as a service interval of 15,000 km and a warranty of 300,000 km, or three years. The single cab Xenon has a large 8 X 4 feet (244 X 122 cm) bed with drop sides, which tops the segment. The Xenon is priced from 5.44 lakhs ex-showroom Mumbai (RM30,487).

    Just launched successor? If i am not mistaken, Tata Xenon was launched a long time ago (2006 or 2007) I remember it because i lived in Mumbai at that time.

    May be this is the improved/facelifted version?

    hahahah …

    sorry mate, china seems to progress much faster than indian truck manufacture.

    anyway, my bro’s company provided this truck years back, it was the telcoline… sorry to say, the 1st day we got into the car, it is already old. 30km/h on the odo feels like doing 15km/h.
