Tata Xenon XT – Review

Pictorial Review of Tata Xenon XT – Interiors

Tata Xenon XT: Open the door, get into the cabin, you would like the charcoal grey interiors. Styling of IP is nice and resmbles other Tata cars espescially the Sumo grande. However the fit and finish is quiet improved over the previous models. There’s reason for it, unlike other Tata models, Xenon is truly an international model, it made its Intertnational debut in world’s second largest pick-up market – Thailand and Tata is already selling the Xenon in countries such as Italy.

Tata Xenon XT: It’s the first time, i found the ergonomics good in a Tata vehicle. The commanding seating postion, large but tilt adjustable steering wheel and pedals arrangement suited my profile. Tata is fastly catching up…The captain seats at the front offers good suuport and there is good legroom at the front. But still the central console mounted windows switches are an irritant. Also the gear stick is too thin and doesn’t gel with overall profile of the Xenon.

Tata Xenon XT: As the rear doors are small and sill line is high, getting into the rear seat is a diffucult excerise. Espescially your wife or your mother is not will not prefer the rear seat. The legroom for rear passengers is just about adequate and also the back rest is upright. If the co-driver wishes to slide back, then you must get down. Carrying five is also not a good option espescially for longer distance.

Tata Xenon XT: As typical of any Tata vehicle the suspension is good and offers comfortable ride. Run the Xenon over the potholes or bumps, it insulates nicely. But the cabin is not calm, clatter creeps in even when the windows are shut.
